Taxi to hotel $25 (by 2)
Lunch at Deli Morrocan $20
Drinks at Altitude's Sky Bar $30
Pimms jug at Prince of Wales $30 (by 2)
Singapore Sling at Long Bar, Raffles Hotel $32
Bubble tea $1.80
Riverside cruise $22
Dinner at Little Saigon $25
Airport McDonalds breakfast, Chicken Muffin $2
An additional $40 for taxis
An additional $20 for snacks
So, $300 for two whole days and nights (approximately £71/day) is fairly expensive, but it was a whirlwind tour of the city and so we crammed in a lot, and it is an expensive place anyway - especially when you realise that most of the prices above include service charge and a good and services tax called GST.
We stayed in an 8 bed female dorm at Pillow Talk hostel, it wasn't bad but it didn't blow my mind either. All accommodation is expensive in Singapore so we settled for this.
I'd highly recommend the Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel, if not just to say you've done it, it's a lovely little bar and the drink is, as it should be, the best Sling I've ever had.
The view from Altitude is great (the drinks being served in plastic cocktail glasses, not so much). We wanted to do the Southern Ridges Walk which has great views of the city as well, so if you don't want to pay for Altitude - and you're active enough - do the walk instead.
Deli Morrocan (on Bussorah/Arab Street) was my favourite meal, and cheap considering the price of everything else. It is a little out of the way for most (unless your hostel is close like ours was) but the street itself has a great atmosphere so definitely worth a trip.
Now to catch a flight to Indonesia!
