Just got back from there.
Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas!
Food was cheap and delicious.
Highlights were:
Tian Tian's was actually really good, and lucky I went early so the line was only 3 people ahead, got my food in less than 5min. I found it hilarious there were at least 3 other stalls in that center that almost fooled me. They had pretty much identical sign colouring and font with subtle changes to the name in Chinese. One was called "Tian Tian Food" and another was "Uncle Tian" instead of Tian Tian Hainan Chicken. Look for the one with Anthony Bourdain plastered on the window. I almost got tricked lol.
The Black Pepper Crab was also delicious, surprisingly I did not enjoy the Chili Crab, too sweet for me.
The cheapest Michelin star stall Hawker Chan was also very good, there was excellent char and very juicy char siu and soy chicken. The rice was also fluffy and aromatic.
The worst part of Singapore was the night life. Went out 1 night to check out the bars in Geyland and Boat Quay. Wow it was pretty sad. Only a handful of bars open and the busiest pub had like 7 people inside. Doesn't help that liquor is extremely expensive, a small bottle of Asahi was $18!!! There was a poster near my hotel that was advertising happy hour, a 3L draught beer tower was $108 ... like wow.
The Zoo and Night Safari were fun, the animals all seemed healthy and very active. I never saw a lion roar in real life and the tigers were pacing around. Even the snakes were slithering about. I've been to many zoo's most animals are lethargic and just laying around.
