Top 5 daytime delights for visitors to Singapore Grand Prix Formula One race weekend
Try great local cuisines at Clifford Pier, afternoon tea at Capella Singapore resort or a stroll in city state’s tropical gardens before F1’s night action begins
The Singapore Grand Prix, which became the first Formula One motor racing event to be held at night in 2008 – will take place around the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the 11th time on Sunday.
The entertainment featured during the three days of motor racing activities, starting on Friday, remains as electrifying as ever, with a sterling line-up of concerts featuring top acts such as Jay Chou, Liam Gallagher and Simply Red.
With all the high-octane action taking place after nightfall, here are our recommendations for five relaxing daytime distractions over the long weekend.
1. Sample local cuisine at Clifford Pier, Fullerton Bay Hotel
Once a landing point for immigrants before it became the terminal for travellers to Singapore’s southern isles, the beautifully restored Clifford Pier is now a dining annex at the Fullerton Bay Hotel.
It offers a wide selection of local cuisine from which to choose.
We would recommend the Best Bak Chor or minced meat noodles, renowned for being the city’s most expensive version upwards from S$27 (US$20).
