1. Eat well. There's plenty of options. And curries are class especially in Serangoon or Racecourse Road.
2. Most Travis-friendly pub: without a doubt: Prince of Wales. 101 Dunlop Street, Little India. Up from Sim Lim. Down from Serangoon Road.
3. Travis-fan pre-Singfest knees-up: power-duo Etc play Friday, August 1, 2008 9:00pm - 11:55pm at abovementioned Prince of Wales. Says here: "Critically-acclaimed Etc, return to Singapore for a one-off show as they bid fond farewell to their bassist Vinita before she embarks on her own American tour. Expect frontman Ben Harrison's lively self-styled "psychpop" originals, with hefty guitar melodies, off-the-cuff improvisation and the bittersweet storytelling that makes the Etc faithful keep on coming back for more."
Straight up. And it's something that was invented, not some popular local figure. I thought this was in the 70s, but according to wikipedia it was designed by Fabrice Jiew in 1964.
Half-lion creature, since Singapore calls itself 'The Lion City' - except lions are no indigenous to that part of the world. Maybe the Bosses don't like 'Tiger Town' as a name.
