HOT JOINTS IN SINGAPORE

I love travelling to Singapore — it's a short flight away from Jakarta and there's always something charming to check out. Every trip to Singapore is about discovering a new concept be it new restaurants, fitness locations, wellness destinations and new coffee shops! In this post, I'll share a weekend itinerary that would help you plan out your whole weekend, hitting all the spots of health, wellness and necessary brunches. All you need to do is plug this itinerary into your next trip to Singapore.

Yoga Movement
Known to be one of the most popular yoga studios in Singapore, Yoga Movement has been my go-to yoga studio for a few years. There are hot and non-hot yoga classes suitable for all levels of practitioners. I love the consistency and new challenges every time I drop into their classes. The service, energy and classes are always amazing. Their multiple class pass can be used all across multiple locations, usually very conveniently located around cool haunts. My personal favourite class — Monster Hot. Highly recommended to start each of your weekend mornings with a yoga class.

Apartment Coffee
I always hold my reservations about the quality of coffee if I visit coffee shops that look too beautiful. Apartment Coffee surprised me in great ways! Their barista took time to recommend a cup of coffee before you order your own cup. Once you order your coffee, they come with an information card. I like learning about the coffee I drink through this way and I hope you do too. Non-coffee options are available for those who prefer other drinks.

Park Bench Deli
Someone once told me about this Singaporean takeaway joint that serves amazing sandwiches that has a new spin. This is not your typical Subway 5' sub or sad looking sandwiches from convenience stores. At Park Bench Deli, be prepared to be served artisan sandwiches that really redefines your conventional sandwich. Sweet or savory sandwich options available throughout the day. I suggest coming in early because the last time I was there, many of their popular items are sold out.

Plain Vanilla Bakery
I am a big fan of Plain Vanilla Bakery. Everything they serve is amazing; be it the cupcakes, salads, soups or sandwiches. Priding themselves as a conscious business, you'll be thrilled to know that they have eliminated most plastic waste from their outlets. Their café usually also has interesting knick knacks for saleTheir latest addition is on Telok Ayer, a stone's throw from many tourist spots.

Impossible Burger at 3 Buns
The world is raving about these "beef" patties from Impossible Foods and I now understand why. Made from 100% plant based materials, it is almost impossible to tell this meat apart from the real deal. Multiple locations serve up the impossible patties but why go to other restaurants when you can try it from a burger joint? I highly recommend giving the future of meat a try.

Ah Sam Cold Drink Stall
This is a speakeasy bar that takes on old-school and nostalgic drinks of Singapore. I grew up in Singapore so I could relate to even the title of the establishment. Cold drinks stalls are an integral part of every Singaporean's childhood, they usually exists in every school, hawker centers and food courts. Let the bartender have a go at explaining your drink, I've learnt that they're all very friendly and easy to talk to! I highly recommend their local concoction of Milo Dinosaur, an alcoholic version of our favourite chocolate malt drink.

The Other Room
Conveniently located in Marriott Orchard, The Other Room has just recently won the title of Asia's Best 50 Bars. They specialize in classic cocktails and if you're feeling a bit fancier, you can go for their vintage spirits. I always go for the Old Fashioned Way as it tends to be less sweet. The Southern New York Sour is a great drink if you're feeling something more tangy!
