Breakfast at Tiong Bahru Bakery (cozy pastries and coffee)
Start the day slowly with flaky pastries, single-origin coffee and people-watching in heritage Tiong Bahru.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive early (09:00) to secure a quiet corner and the freshest croissants — the bakery gets busy by mid-morning.
- Ask for an extra table by the window for a cozy two-person seat and great street photography opportunities.
- Tiong Bahru is mostly walkable; keep light layers because cafés are air-conditioned and outdoors are warm.
Tiong Bahru neighborhood stroll (art-deco flats & independent shops)
Wander quiet lanes, browse the indie bookshop and spot murals — a relaxed, photogenic neighborhood walk.
Tips from local experts:
- Stop at Tiong Bahru Bookshop for a romantic-slow browse; pick a book to exchange as a memento.
- Photograph the art-deco facades on Yong Siak Street during soft morning light for flattering photos.
- Wear comfortable shoes; the sidewalks are uneven in places and shaded spots are limited in midday.
Transfer to Dempsey Hill (short taxi ride)
A calm 20–30 minute transfer to the Dempsey / Holland Village cluster for a garden lunch.
Tips from local experts:
- Book a taxi or Grab app in advance if you have time constraints; transfers at midday are quick but check traffic.
- Use this time to freshen up or slip on a light cover for air-conditioned restaurants.
- If you prefer privacy, request a quiet/less chatty driver in the ride notes—helps set a relaxed tone.
Lunch at Open Farm Community (garden-to-table)
A relaxed farm-to-table lunch in a leafy setting — light sharing plates and seasonal produce.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a shaded outdoor table for a garden feel; mention you're celebrating an occasion for a small personal touch.
- Choose shareable dishes to sample more items and keep the meal unhurried — ideal for lingering conversation.
- Ask staff about today’s freshest produce; the team is happy to recommend wine pairings for two.
Transfer & hotel check-in at The Fullerton Hotel (refresh)
Short transfer to your waterfront hotel to drop bags, freshen up and prepare for the afternoon.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the hotel for a quiet room facing the river or Marina Bay for an intimate evening view.
- If early check-in isn’t available, request luggage hold and a private lounge to freshen up.
- Take 10 minutes for a quick wardrobe touch-up — light layers and a shawl are useful for air-conditioned venues.
Gardens by the Bay - Flower Dome & Supertree Grove
Explore cooled conservatories and the magical Supertree Grove; aim for late afternoon light and cooler temperatures.
Tips from local experts:
- Enter the Flower Dome first to enjoy the cool air and florals before the late-afternoon crowds arrive.
- Plan photos by the Supertrees during the soft late-afternoon light; climb the OCBC Skyway for a private-feel vantage.
- Carry a small umbrella — brief showers are common in February; much of the attraction is sheltered.
Marina Bay waterfront promenade (golden-hour stroll)
A slow waterfront walk toward Marina Bay Sands to catch the changing light and skyline as sunset approaches.
Tips from local experts:
- Aim to arrive 45–60 minutes before sunset to pick a comfortable spot — the promenade fills closer to dusk.
- Bring a lightweight wrap for the breeze off the bay and to sit comfortably on benches for skyline photography.
- For private photos, head to the quieter stretch near the Helix Bridge rather than the busier Merlion approach.
Sunset cocktails at Ce La Vi (Marina Bay Sands rooftop) — special moment
Toast the sunset with skyline views from the iconic rooftop bar — a signature romantic moment.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a window or terrace table for sunset; call ahead to confirm a tucked-away spot for greater privacy.

- Order a signature cocktail and request the bartender’s suggestion for a sweeter or drier profile — share tasting sips for a date-night experience.
Dinner at CUT by Wolfgang Puck (refined steakhouse)
A leisurely, intimate dinner with excellent steaks and a thoughtful wine list — ideal for a romantic evening.
Tips from local experts:
- Book a table in advance and mention a quiet corner or intimate table for two when reserving.

Tips from local experts:
- This area is pleasant after dinner; choose the quieter path toward the Esplanade for fewer crowds.

Tips from local experts:
- Book a sunset cruise to capture golden-hour light and request a quiet spot on deck for private views.
