Istana trip

Getting There - It is walking distance from Dhoby Ghaut MRT. do come early as the crowd will be lesser. Attractions - The museum and palace ground. There is an entrance fee to the museum (inside the palace). To avoid long queue, as soon as you enter the ground, go to the palace and get your tickets. No cash payment, only PayLah. Also, you can get to take picture with the president in the morning. Food & Restaurants - They sell some snacks and cold drinks in marquee. Best if you can bring your own food in. Shopping - Some souvenir are available for purchase. The mugs are nicely designed. The bookmarks and postcard are less fancy.
