The contrast between day and night at the Boat Quay is striking, yet both are equally captivating. During the day, there are plenty of places to explore, from the mural tunnel between Boat Quay and Clarke Quay to the luxurious Fullerton Hotel and the historic Asian Civilisations Museum. At night, the area comes alive with lights, and the food at various restaurants, including seafood, Thai, Indian, Japanese, and even Irish pubs, is truly amazing. Be sure to walk to the other side where the Asian Civilisations Museum is located to enjoy the stunning views of the illuminated buildings. The downtown area is within easy walking distance, filled with shops, bars, and restaurants. The statue of Sir Stamford Raffles is also located there.

#Overseas travel I'll introduce you to a place in Singapore where you can see the night view at a glance!! It's Boat Quay, also known as Boat Quay. 🤗 There are many restaurants along the river around here, so you can enjoy the night view while eating!! I recommend coming to Boat Quay in the evening rather than during the day. ㅎㅎ You can eat while looking at Marina Bay Sands. 💙 ☑️Location: Singapore Boat Quay ☑️Information: - It's about a 10-minute walk from Clarke Quay! - There are many restaurants along the river around here🍴 - The night view is beautiful, so it's a must at night rather than during the day!! - You can enjoy romance in a quieter atmosphere than Clarke Quay. ㅎㅎ If you go to Singapore, Clarke Quay is great, but I highly recommend visiting Boat Quay next to it👍🏻

Address: LUMO Bar & Restaurant, 50 South Bridge Rd, #01-00, Singapore 058682 Price: $100/pp My date took me here for my birthday. It's a speakeasy type bar restaurant serving signature cocktails, wines and modern european fare from the wood fire. He told me that this place usually get fully booked fast. The interior and ambiance is pretty good - very dim and jazz club vibe. We ordered: 1. Smoked cod fish liver taramasalata, avruga caviar, crumb, ciabatta and EVOO - 10/10 One of my favorite dish of the night. If my date didn't told me it was liver I wouldn't have known. I highly recommend this dish. 2. Hokkaido scallops, avruga caviar, celtuce root, carrot and truffle puree - 10/10 The scallops was cooked perfectly and the size was huge. I recommend this dish for anyone with a smaller appetite so you can enjoy a 3 course meal. 3. White fin prawn, trofie pasta, salted kelp, lobster bisque - 8/10 The portion was very generous but the flavour of the pasta was rather flat. you can't quite taste the lobster, but the pasta was cooked to perfection. Overall a rather heavy dish. 4. Aus. angus braised beef cheek, hen of the woods mushroom, celeriac puree, red wine jus - 2/10 This dish ruined the dinner. It was tasteless. Skip this dish and eat their seafood instead. The only thing great about the dish was the mushroom. 5. SUNFLOWER - 10/10 A sour pineapple cocktail for someone who sour food and drinks. The cocktails taste good but weak in terms of alcohol - which is okay to me if you're not an alcoholic. 6. COMPASSION - 6/10 Not a fan as it was on the sweeter side of things. 7. Choconuts, 64% dark chocolate cookies, peanut praline, earl grey gelato, Icelandic - 8/10 not a chocolate fan in general but they gave me this slice for free as it was my birthday. The chocolate cake was rich and not too sweet. Perfect for any chocolate lovers out there. Overall a cute place to bring your date. #singapore

Address: Shrimp Prawn Seafood, 53 Boat Quay, Singapore 049842 Located along Boat Quay, this restaurant serves affordable Thai seafood by the Singpore River. It was my first time eating here and I'm very satisfied with the experience there. We ordered:- 1. prawn ball - 8/10 crunchy crust with fresh prawn inside. It's a lovely appetiser but nothing too fancy. 2. mooping - 10/10 juicy and well balanced skewers that leaves you wanting more 3. Scallops vemicilli - 8/10 light and peppery! Scallops were huge and slightly overcooked. 4. King prawn vemicilli- 9/10 less peppery! I'm surprised both vemicilli dish had its own flavor. The prawn one was more flavourful and the prawn was crunchy and huge. 5. prawn noodle - 8/10 very unique dish but not something I would crave for regularly! 6. Red ruby - 9/10 not too sweet and very generous with the topping 7. lemon grass - 7/10 not too sweet but refreshing 8. thai milk tea - 10/10 thick and milky! tasted authentic Overall it's a nice ambiance, we got a seat by the water and the staff was very attentive and friendly which made the whole experience enjoyable! They didn't chase us away despite eating very slowly. Do remember to book in advance (for the river seating) as it's usually full house.

Boat Quay is one of Singapore's famous attractions. It is located close to Marina Bay and Clarke Quay nearby. On weekend evenings, you can take a stroll along the riverside and see exotic bars and restaurants everywhere. Many foreigners relax here to relax and enjoy a moment of leisure. Of course, the consumption is definitely not cheap, but it is worth it to enjoy such amazing scenery. The scenery here is almost the same as that in Europe and the United States. Many buildings along the river are in classical European style, including the Singapore Colonial Museum on the opposite bank!

#culturewalk Yakitori Yatagarasu izakaya Address: 72 Circular Rd, #01-01, Singapore 049426 This is an izakaya and it means “The Japanese word izakaya (居酒屋) is made up of three kanji with the meaning, in order, “stay-drink-place.” A spot to grab a drink, settle in, and get comfortable.” Get yourself a bar counter seat and you can watch the chef cooking and even grilling yakitori right in front of you. A great place to know about Japanese drinking culture without flying away. Once you are settled down, a big piece of frozen towel will be served. Yes, the iced towel has been freezed and laid out flat. It is interesting to see it for the first time. You can order as many yakitori as you wish, ala-cart style, or you can order their package meal. Also, try out their rice dishes which are seasonal based on what is available. You might be shocked to know they are grilling the internal organs from chicken. But it is tasty and it looks perfectly delicious. Please take note of their opening hours, they are open from 6pm to 11pm and close on Sunday. Please make reservations in advance or else try your luck by walking in, hoping for others to cancel their reservations.

#culturewalk River merchants Address: 1 Fullerton Square, Singapore 049178 Nearest MRT: Raffles Place MRT Exit H Take a walk along the Fullerton Hotel area and you will not miss these river merchants statues. Once you spot them, you will continue to look out for more statues because they are so comical as to tell you a story from their actions. From the website, these River Merchant statues are the work of Aw Tee Hong, a local sculptor. In summary, his sculptures are built on the stories of the Singapore River back in her trading days. How it was like back then when Singapore River was for commercial use. It also showcases different ethinic groups from their costumes. Probably, if you bring your grandparents along, they might be able to recall some stories about the Singapore River too. My parents told me they cannot recall much since they were still young and they did not go to Singapore River. Luckily I am able to retrieve the Singapore Stories via the National Library. If not, a local staycation at The Fullerton Hotel also can allow me to learn more about history.

Address: 86 circular road, Singapore 049438 Dumplings darlings is located at circular road near boat quay. As expected dumplings are on of their signature dishes. Tried the xo prawn noodles and it was really good. Filled with a lot of shallots and tobiko which made it very very flavorful. The xo seafood sauce is rly good as well. Also tried two different types of dumplings. The original and the spicy shi Chuan. The latter is similar to hongyouchaoshou. Original is jus good. Ordered the lunch set n it came with a drink. Total price is $16/pax but becoz I ordered the xo prawn noodles, have to top up $4. So total damage done per pax is abt $20. Highly recommended! Suggest to reserve a seat before going because it can get crowded during peak hours!!

Sofitel Singapore City Centre is located in the core of the Central Business District, at the intersection of Robinson Road and Cross Street, a 5-minute walk from Raffles Place MRT Station. This all-glass curtain wall building was designed by a French designer. The facade lines are simple and neat, and the ground floor podium retains the 19th-century colonial-style arcades, forming a visual contrast with the surrounding modern skyscrapers. The lobby combines French elegance with Nanyang elements, with a black and white checkerboard floor and bronze decorations. The lounge area displays installation works by local Singaporean artists. The suite I stayed in was decorated in gray-blue and champagne gold, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. The bedroom was equipped with Sofitel MyBed custom bedding, a deep soaking bathtub and Hermès toiletries, and the work area was equipped with an ergonomic chair. The infinity pool on the 6th floor of the hotel is super beautiful~it’s great for taking photos! The pool is lined with palm trees and has an underwater lighting system at night; the adjacent fitness center offers Technogym equipment and yoga classes. Hotel dining: The main restaurant adopts an open kitchen design, and the weekend brunch includes freshly opened oysters and a variety of seafood, which is super delicious. The lobby lounge serves special afternoon tea with spices. The geographical location of Sofitel Singapore City Centre is its biggest advantage: it is a 10-minute walk to the Merlion Park to the east, connected to the Tanjong Pagar historical district to the west, and the underground passage directly connects to the Raffles Place MRT interchange station ~ Visitors to Sentosa only need 20 minutes by subway. There are many Michelin-recommended restaurants around the hotel, such as the satay stalls at Lau Pa Sat Food Centre and Hainanese chicken rice on Amoy Street. At night, you can also walk to the riverside bar area at Boat Quay to experience the nightlife. It is so convenient to stay here when visiting Singapore!

Boat Quay offers a delightful blend of diverse cuisines, lively pubs, and stunning riverfront views. Stroll along the scenic waterfront, enjoy a variety of restaurants, and soak in the beautiful sights of the Marina Bay skyline. A perfect spot for dining, drinking, and relaxation. #boat #boatquay #boatquayvibes #boatquaysingapore #singapore #singaporetrip #visit_singapore #singaporetravel #singapore_insta

Walking along the Singapore River on National Day is a surreal experience! The city glows in red, with landmarks like the Fullerton Hotel, Marina Bay Sands, and skyscrapers illuminated in patriotic hues. The water reflects the shimmering lights, creating a dazzling scene. Crowds gather at Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, soaking in the festive vibes as the air fills with excitement. The grand finale? A spectacular fireworks display over Marina Bay, painting the night sky with bursts of red and gold. Every step along the river feels like a tribute to Singapore’s spirit and unity! #singaporetrips

#NewYearNewTrip #SingaporeTravel #UtripCard #MerlionPark #JewelWaterfall Hello, I'm not good at languages ​​at all, but I'm a glamorous person who doesn't buy tours and wants to travel by myself as I please. From the reviews of many people, Singapore is the most worth visiting country for someone who is not good at languages ​​like me. Traveling here is very convenient. There is very good public transportation that covers the whole city, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. Just open Google Maps or walk, which is just as convenient, but it's a bit tiring. 🤣 We went for 2 days and 1 night because we had very limited time, but all the landmarks are close to each other or just take a bus or MRT for a short while and you'll be there. As for the food, the taste here is delicious, but it's not as spicy as back home. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is very delicious! The chicken is juicy. Bak kut teh is also great. I followed the famous restaurants that received awards and didn't disappoint. As for the cost of living, as we all know, it's very expensive, but compared to the price of airfare, I think it's no different from other countries where the ticket price is cheap. Because in other countries, the ticket price is cheap, the food is cheap, but the transportation is more expensive. For anyone who is thinking of traveling abroad by themselves Please let Singapore be one of your choices. It's clean, safe, modern city, and the people are super friendly. The more they know that we are Thai, the nicer they will be to us. Note: The whole trip, we used the Utrip card to pay only for the MRT, bus, and food. It's very convenient.

#newyearnewtrip The river merchants located right in front of the Fullerton hotel , is a place to know more about how the merchants do business in the past along the Singapore river area. You get to see the different people dressed up differently. They came from different ethnicities , but got together to do business and trading together. In the past, they used to trade using commodities. You can trade a thing for another thing, instead of the currencies that we are using now. We also get to understand, and learn more about how they perform those trades and how they negotiate with one another to close the deal.

Took this pictures from a pub balcony at Boat quay. The pub is located at level 3, the name of the pub is Medousa. Is located at the other side of the boat quay that is facing the Singapore river. Below the pub is a restaurant name The Fine Line. Once you found this restaurant, the pub is just located at level 3 above this restaurant. One tower of beer cost about $68 Singapore Dollars and one bottle of Martel cost about $188 Singapore Dollars. The location is so prefect that it is directly opposite the great Singapore River! As you can see from the pictures, the night scenery taken was amazing. Almost everyone from the pub will come out to the balcony to snatch one to two pictures of the scenery and one to two pictures of themselves with the scenery. #本地遊 #mytripvlog #foodie #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #bucketlistreboot #drinkssg #nightout #nightview #nightwalks #sceneryphotography #nightlife #couplestrip #thingstodo #staycation #myitinerary #citydaytours

Singapore Singapore Tourism There are many tourist spots in Singapore, but I went to Boat Quay, a must-see tourist spot for Singapore tourists, so I'll share it with you. 📍 Boat Quay Boat Quay is an area in the center of Singapore where cafes and restaurants are gathered along the Singapore River. It's about a 15-minute walk from the Merlion, so you can get there. There are many offices around, so at night it's bustling with Singaporeans and tourists. At night, the skyscrapers are beautifully lit up, and Japanese-style houseboats are sailing down the Singapore River, so you can enjoy the nightlife in Singapore! #SingaporeTourism #SingaporeTrip #OverseasTravel #Singapore #BoatQuay #AsiaTravelRecordLine

The Singapore River is not long, about 3.2 kilometers. But it is the mother river of Singapore, and many exhibits in the Singapore Museum come from the Singapore River. The first stop of your trip to Singapore is the Singapore River. In 1819, Stamford Raffles landed in the Singapore River, and the pier was the landing point that year. From then on, this place became Singapore's prosperous trading center, with ships shuttling back and forth and warehouses lining the shore. The once busy dock is now a bustling bar, restaurant and hotel. The century-old houses on the shore have witnessed Singapore's development from a simple trading station to an important trading center in Asia. The pier is perfect for an evening of enjoying the breeze, a drink and a chat. Clarke Quay, named after Singapore’s second Governor Andrew Clarke, is located on the other side of the Singapore River, upstream from the pier, and was once a small wharf for loading and unloading cargo. Today it is Singapore's renowned nightlife center, integrating shopping, dining and entertainment. There were originally 60 warehouses and shops here. After transformation, using colors, lights and creative landscapes, Clarke Quay has become a fashionable and colorful entertainment paradise. Clarke Quay has relatively few tourists during the day and is very lively at night. There is also a flea market at Clarke Quay on Sundays, selling antiques and artworks. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. In addition, you can also take a cruise at Clarke Quay, travel across the Singapore River, and see the Esplanade, the Ferris Wheel, the Merlion, and the Marina Bay Sands from a different angle and up close. The Esplanade is located at the mouth of the Singapore River. It consists of two circular glass domes with more than 7,000 triangular aluminum sunshades installed on them. It resembles a durian and is also called the "Durian Art Center." The Marina Bay Arts Centre is a landmark building in Singapore and a platform for showcasing Singapore’s culture and art. There are concert halls, theatres, recital rooms, an outdoor theatre, a drama centre and a visual arts centre. The Marina Bay Theatre is free to visit and is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. The guided tour service hours are 11:00 and 14:00. There is only a guided tour service at 11:00 on weekends and public holidays. When you arrive in Singapore, you have to take a look at the Merlion and take a few photos. The Merlion is the city symbol of Singapore. Its statue stands in the Merlion Park, on the other side of the Singapore River estuary. The Merlion has a fish body and a lion head. It is a water fountain sculpture designed by Chinese designer Lin Langxin. According to the Malay Annals, in the 14th century AD, a prince named Saint Nilo Utama came to this land on his way to Malacca. As soon as he landed, he saw a monster and his followers told him it was a lion. So he named the island "Singapore". "Singapore" means lion in Sanskrit, so Singapore is also called the Lion City. The best time to visit Merlion Park is at dusk when the lights are on, as the sun is very strong during the day. Sitting under the Marina Bay Bridge at night, feeling the cool sea breeze and appreciating the stunning night view is extremely comfortable. As far as the eye can see, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel is illuminated by lights and looks magnificent, the Ferris wheel is slowly rotating with changing colors, and the buildings in the financial center are sparkling... It doesn’t take too much time to visit this section of the Singapore River. Have dinner at Clarke Quay in the evening. Then walk along the Singapore River to the Merlion Park, which is about 1,000 meters away. If you are in a good mood, you can go to the pier for a cup of coffee or red wine.

#singaporetrip Boat Quay in Singapore is a vibrant dining destination renowned for its lively atmosphere and stunning views along the Singapore River. The area is particularly celebrated for its extensive selection of fresh seafood, showcasing an impressive array of live seafood options that cater to seafood enthusiasts. However, it’s worth noting that vegetarian choices are relatively limited in this predominantly seafood-focused locale. Despite this, the breathtaking riverfront views and the bustling energy of Boat Quay create a memorable dining experience. If you’re a seafood lover or simply want to enjoy a picturesque setting, Boat Quay is a must-visit.

#myhiddengems Was spending some time at Singapore river boat quay on a weekday evening. It was a bit crowded as many people were getting off work. But it was still nice to sit and chill here and just enjoy the views of Singapore. Really appreciate how clean and green the city is, and how beautiful it is. Suggest coming here to take some nice photographs as well. Super insta worthy. Nearest MRT is raffles place.

Nice place and view to explore. Near to clarkequay and mrt station. We went to dallas for dinner in boatquay. We love the food there,we will come back to try other local and international foods. There are so many restaurants and hawker centers around the corner. The food is affordable and yummy. I recommend you try this place,you will enjoy it. Nice and clean place.

1.2nd photo is Boat Quay! There are shopping malls and restaurants! You can also take a river cruise here🚣 You can see the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and the colorful old police station from the boat☺️ On the internet, it said that there are several river cruise platforms at Merlion Park, but they were all deserted. I went to Boat Quay looking for a platform and found one😂 Maybe there used to be many platforms, but now there's only Boat Quay? Be careful everyone👏 It's a little expensive, but the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands seen from the boat were so impressive that I'm glad I took it🌟 📍Location: Boat Quay

We stumbled upon this small restaurant at one of the back alleys im boat quay and it was the best food I had in boat quay! We ordered the sea food pasta which was so so good, creamy, savoury and amazing flavours - really the best. And the steak was so juicy came with a Vietnamese pho sauce, so unique and the fries were so crispy. It was such a good discovery! This place doesn’t have a vibrant ambience but its a must go for the food! Im recommending this place to everyone! Going back for these 2 dishes for sure. Super reasonable price, our whole bill was only 59$ for an amazing steak and pasta (we didn’t have drinks) but they do have a nice cocktail menu!#Seafood #Pasta #steak I couldn’t find the location tag here but the name of this restaurant is Naga House

Walked passed this dining place at Boat Quay after my pilates class, the smell of noodles caught me by chance so I gave Co Chung Vietnamese Restaurant a try! I got to embrace the art of enjoying beef noodles with a unique twist—pouring flavorful boiling soup into the dry ingredients bowl consist of noodles, vegetables and raw meat. Was surprised by the eating style as it wasn’t shown in menu, nonetheless it was a great experience. #tripstars

#2024wish Tucked within Boat Quay, the shophouse back alleys exude a unique charm. These narrow pathways boast a captivating fusion of heritage and contemporary allure. The shophouses, adorned with vibrant facades and intricate details, create a picturesque tapestry of colors. Beyond the narrow lanes lie eclectic boutiques, quaint cafes, and hidden gems, offering a delightful blend of history and modernity. The play of sunlight highlights the architectural nuances, casting a spellbinding ambiance. Most people may overlook these back alleys, but I find them exceptionally beautiful, adorned with a mesmerizing array of patterns that add an extra layer of allure to this urban treasure trove.
