^Roastpuff nailed most of the good places. Universal Studios is on Sentosa and also a Casino if your into that stuff (tip: you can't wear anything thats higher than your knees in the casino for guys as well as other restrictions like no backpacks).

Hawker Centers are all over the place, make sure before you go to find out which ones you want to hit up, there are a couple that have some famous stalls like Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken.

Marina Bay has the famous rooftop infinity pool that all the people try to check out, from what I heard there are numerous ways to sneak in such as pretending to be a guest at the hotel, or sneaking in behind other guests etc etc. ( If any one has tips on this post it! I have yet to go up there!). You need to actually pay to go to the rooftop of Marina Bay from what I recall but you can negate this admission fee by saying you are going to the bar's on the top.

Not going to lie, but when I was near Clarke Quay/ Fullerton Hotel area they sometimes have these guys with ice cream stalls that sell icecream wrapped in wafer crackers and that stuff was bomb. Also another tip, if you need to take a dump or piss, go into the Fullerton lol.

Some other random tips, when you are at restaurants they will have those wet napkins and maybe some nut snacks on the table. This shit is not included, they actually charge you for using this so if you want to save a couple bucks keep that in mind! Also, make sure to bring spare change when you use the washrooms at the hawker centres as some are pay admission. When you are in Hawkers you can see which stall is worthy of trying by the amount of people lining up for food, or simply just walk around and see what you feel like eating since most of the should be fairly decent to be able to survive there. Something I tried that was very addicting and a refreshment alternative to pop was sugarcane juice with lemon.

As roastpuff said, two weeks is quite a long time so take it easy and don't try to cram a lot since you can pretty much see all the touristy stuff in 3-5 days. IMO one of the best places to go and probably the best place for eats...
