The current buzz phrase from the Singapore Tourism Board is ‘Uniquely Singapore' --- highlighting many unique attractions of the island-state.

The STB goes as far as listing numerous features that really are unique...a few of which follow... 

· Singapore Seafood.  Including Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Crayfish and Butter Prawns. Try them all at East Coast Seafood Centre...and other seafood outlets.

· Hip Hotels. Try the Gallery Hotel - seen as ‘hip and happening' near Robertson Quay. Chinatown boutique hotels also rate a mention...and the Nuomi in Seah Street is a boutique property most unique.

·  Spas.  The ‘in thing' in town. Sample the Spa Botanica - winner of the Best Spa Experience Award for last 3 years - on Sentosa Island.

·  Porcelain painting - Ming Village. Design your own tea-set!

·  Floodlit golf - Jurong Country Club.

·  Take a picture with the Raffles Hotel doorman. He's been standing there for years in his elaborate uniform...not sure if he ever gets inside!

·  Swim with Pink Dolphins and become a Dolphin Trainer for the day --- Sentosa.

·  Shop till you drop along Orchard Road...and many more shopping areas!

·  Balance your Yin and Yang ... at the Imperial Herbal Kitchen.

·  Learn how to handle falcons - at Jurong Bird Park.

·  Take high tea at the Equinox Restaurant - 69th floor of Swiss Hotel

The Stamford. Fantastic views.

·  Check out nature at the Sungei Buloh Wetlands - watch out for mozzies!

·  Visit the world's largest fountain at Suntec City. Expose yourself to the Feng Shui powers and the art of Geomancy...both used in the design.

And that's just the start of things!

It really is quite unique...so come and try some of the delights.
