Singapore By Heart eBook

Made it then. Rob's still asking about the chewing gum 😂

If you've come from my post you know the story. Moved out in 2023 on a "two years max" posting, paid twenty three dollars for one pint, got adopted by an auntie over a coffee order, and three years later I'm still here and still not entirely over the durian.

This book is three years of notes turned into the guide I wish someone had handed me at Changi.

Here's the honest bit. Everyone knows the skyline. Lovely. Not why you're here. You're here for the Singapore behind it: the hawker centres where michelin-listed plates cost less than a coffee back home (sorted by dish, by centre, so you go where each thing is actually best). The kopi code, taught properly, so you order like you live here. The chope rule that stops you committing the city's one unforgivable crime. The free versions of the expensive famous things, including the light show half the tourists pay to miss and the rooftop trick that turns the observation deck fee into a drink. The jumper rule. The islands twenty minutes out where the city becomes a rumour, and the village where it's still 1965.

If you're visiting, this pays for itself by your first dinner, and it's timed nicely: it's National Day season, there are fireworks every Saturday until August 9th, and this year they've moved, so the book tells you where they actually are while half of Marina Bay watches an empty sky.

If you're moving here, or your "two years max" is quietly becoming more, this is the straight version: the rents and what they're really like neighbourhood by neighbourhood, what you'll spend versus what you'll save, the expat bubble that's comfortable and everywhere and will quietly cost you the whole point of being here, and the ten habits that get you adopted instead.

And the place from the end of the post is in here. The walk I nearly skipped because of the humidity, the skyline stood in the distance like a postcard someone left out, and nobody around. Exact directions. I'm still not putting them anywhere public.
