[QUOTE="RAM, post: 2307031, member: 28929"] If restrictions are relaxed then you can go on a free half day tour (runs for each morning & afternoon) without having to go through customs & immigration. You visit 5 to 6 different sites and get let out to look/explore briefly (20-25 minutes) or so at each one. A very good way to get some idea of whether you want to have a longer stopover in Singapore in the future. Just be prepared for a humidity hit with a possible change of clothes in your carry-ons! Tried this out when doing a F return - chose longest possible stopover between same day flights to max out 'The Private Room' for breakfast, lunch & dinner experience. Went out on the morning tour after breakfast & returned for a slightly late lunch. Not something I'd recommend doing a second time - TPR was nice but did not need the trifecta. However there is also a 'hidden food market' at the airport that you can get to (IIRC) without clearing customs - put off visting that to another visit. Local workers, air crew & those in the know use it but open to anyone. Massive range of food & not-airport prices. [URL unfurl="true"]https://katongkidsinc.com/2016/07/03/changi-airport-terminal-1-you-should-visit-this-secret-staff-canteen/[/URL] Looks like there are similar markets in both T2 & T3. [/QUOTE]
