Quick question for the Singapore regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience there last month.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
