Singing about Singapore, JoyTravel.com Style!

If you want adventure mixed with amazing food, nature and incredible architecture (all mixed in with incredible culture, music and art) then Singapore is for you.

Located in Southeast Asia and nestled among fifty-four tinier islands, Singapore can be found to the south of the Malaysia Peninsula.
Singapore’s People Are Diverse – Making Your Trip Diverse, Too!
Singapore is not a part of China or Malaysia. It is its own country with four major ethnic groups populating it. People of Chinese descent top the list at 74% of the population with Malaysian and Indian a little less than ten percent. This diversity makes for a fantastic melting pot of experiences to be had as a traveler.
Here are just a few things you won’t want to miss while journeying through Singapore!

Museums / National Landmarks:
The Singapore Art Museum: Opened since 1996, this is a contemporary art museum that is housed in a nineteenth century restored mission school.
The National Gallery Singapore: This gallery is located in Singapore’s downtown center. Only open since November of 2015, it’s already gaining a worldwide reputation as the biggest public collection of Southeast Asian and Singapore artwork. Browse over eight thousand works of art!
The National Museum of Singapore: Unlike the National Gallery, this museum is the oldest in Singapore, having opened its doors in 1849.
The Singapore Philatelic Museum: Learn about this rich country through a vast collection of postal stamps.

Food and Restaurants to Visit:
From Indian and Malaysian to Chinese and other ethnic influences, here are just a few dishes you won’t want to miss (and a few places to eat them at!).
Dim Sum: Inspired by Shang Hai and Hong Kong, this type of dim sum varies in that it’s not one standalone dish but instead a set of smaller ones to be eaten family style. Just a few options include bbq pork bun, Chee Cong Fun, Xio Long Bao and more. Consider a visit to Tim Ho Wan located at Payoh Lorong 6, #02-02, ERA Centre, Singapore 319394
Chili or Pepper Crabs Like chili or sweet stuff?: Can’t decide? Then get both with chili or pepper crabs. Served alongside mantous (bread/buns) they can be dipped in a delicious sauce to delight the senses! Consider visiting Ban Leong Wah Hoe Seafood at 122 Casuarina Road, Singapore 579510
