Not too long ago, Changi Airport ranked 10th in the world’s most family-friendly airports list,  which really got us scratching our heads – after all, it’s chock full of food and shopping options, as well as kid-friendly attractions like indoor playgrounds, a butterfly garden, and a giant multi-storey slide. What's not to love? Turns out, our pride and joy in the east lost out to other countries’ airports due to the sole factor of not providing unlimited free WiFi – though if you ask us, no one really needs to be glued to their devices when there’s more than enough there to keep you occupied for hours. With that behind us, it’s heartening to see that Changi Airport is ranking quite a few notches higher on a recently-released list of the most luxurious airports in the world, coming in at fifth place in a tie with Sydney International Airport. Dubai International Airport takes the top spot with a total Luxury Score of 83 out of 100, followed closely by London Heathrow Airport (82 out of 100), Qatar’s Hamad International Airport (73 out of 100), and Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport (66 out of 100). Singapore’s Changi Airport scores 61 out of 100 – which isn’t too dismal, yet isn’t particularly amazing. Surely the 12-time winner of the title of world’s best airport deserves better? Let’s dive deeper into the scoring criteria of this ranking list, created by AllClear Travel Insurance from the UK; Over 1,800 airports across the globe were analysed before 69 of them were shortlisted

The next time you visit Sentosa, you might want to forgo the Sentosa Island Express to take a walk along the new Sentosa Sensoryscape. Soft launched today and opening to the public on March 14, it's a 350-metre-long connector that's dotted with six sensory gardens and an immersive night experience.  Spanning 30,000 square metres, Sentosa Sensoryscape links the north of Sentosa island to the beaches on the south. As you walk along it, you'll encounter six gardens: Lookout Loop, Tactile Trellis, Scented Sphere, Symphony Streams, Palate Playground, and Glow Garden. As the names suggest, these gardens were designed to engage all five senses – including a sixth one, your imagination.  Nature and architecture come together in each of these gardens, which have intricate structures of woven metal complemented by lush plants and the sounds of nature. But the real magic happens at night, when a unique ImagiNite experience comes alive to tell a seamless story across Sentosa Sensoryscape through interactive floor projections, augmented reality, and light shows.   The Sentosa Sensoryscape attraction will be open daily from March 14, with the ImagiNite experience starting nightly from 7.50pm. Here's what you can look forward to when you visit.  Lookout Loop Photograph: Singapore Development Corporation This elevated garden will give you a panoramic view of Sentosa's north end.

The annual Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar is back in full swing, and will be running for a full month from March 8 to April 9. This year’s theme is Semangat Raya, meaning ‘spirit of Hari Raya’. There will be over 500 food and retail stalls at the bazaar – slightly fewer than last year’s 700 due to ongoing works around the area.  To keep things affordable, most F&B stalls will also be offering two items priced at $3 each. You can expect smaller, mini-sized snacking portions for these, while bigger portions or signature items from the stalls will be available at a top-up. Read on to find out what we managed to get for $3 and other items that you should try. Grab a bag of fried chicken skin from Jom Lekor. For $3, you’ll get a generous amount of crispy, well-seasoned pieces . The signature lekor ($7) – Malay fish crisps – are freshly fried in-house and come in flavours like chilli kicap, samyang, and Thai sweet chilli. You can also get a bowl of customised Jom Mie (from $6) at the store. Simply choose from the range of instant noodles available, select your preferred spice level, pick your favourite sides, and watch them fry it up on the spot.  For a quick snack, drop by the Indian rojak stall Ministry of Rojak, where you can get vadai – a savoury Indian snack – and a cup of warm, comforting teh tarik at $3. If you’ve worked up more of an appetite, get the rojak-in-a-cup or sharing sets that feed up to four, consisting of an assortment of dough fritters and fried snacks like temp

Singapore's most popular attractions may include a boat-like tower with an infinity pool and two durian-looking domes and other impressive manmade structures but you'll be surprised by the amount of greenery you can find within the city-state (and surrounding offshore islands). The best way to discover this? Hiking.  Put on your best trekking shoes and go on foot to explore these hidden (and not so hidden) trails around the island. But before you get on the best hiking trails in Singapore, it might be best to slap on some sunscreen – and it wouldn't hurt to bring along some mosquito repellent. Run along the scenic Marina Bay waterfront, complete with road closures, at the T100 Triathlon that’s happening this April 2024 – it’s suitable for both race pros and rookies.
