The History of Singapore
According to legend, Singapore was founded in the distant past when a prince from Sumatra discovered the island and spotted a lion, which he considered a good omen. He soon founded a city called Singapura, or "lion city". While the validity of this story is unknown, there's a written history of Singapore that dates back to the third century, and it became a major port in the 1300s under the rule of Sultan Iskandar Shah. It was invaded and destroyed by both the Majapahit from the Indonesian islands in 1398 and the Portuguese in 1613, after which it sunk into obscurity. Modern Singapore was founded in 1819 by the British (in particular Sir Stamford Raffles) and has been an independent state since 1965.
One of the defining features of this city is its fascinating blend of the old and new. From our Singapore luxury property you can explore the city's varied heritage, from the old colonial buildings to the subtle reminders of the Chinese, Malay and Indian influences that have formed modern Singapore.
What To See and Do In Singapore
Singapore aspires to be a "City in a Garden", and over 50% of the island is covered in greenery, from the city's peaceful Botanical Gardens to monkey-filled forests. Singapore is also home to the world's first nocturnal zoo and Jurong Bird Park that's perfect for nature lovers. And of course for there are the legendary malls where you can find absolutely everything fashion has to offer. You can also explore Chinatown shophouses, enjoy the buzz of Little India and come across unexpectedly finds in Tiong Bahru.
During your stay in our luxury apartment you'll be able to take in the interesting cultural spots of the city, like Sri Mariamman Temple, Peranakan Museum and the Lau Pa Sat, a Victorian food market.
A National Identity Defined By Food
Singapore is a city obsessed with food, and it's in its food culture that Singapore's history as a multi-ethnic seaport really shines. Food here is a crucial to national identity and a great unifier, bringing together disparate cultures and forming a big part of Singaporean conversation. The region's unique Nonya cuisine is complemented by the exciting restaurant scene that reflects the city's global status, and from the comfort of your luxury apartment you'll be able to find whatever cuisine you fancy, from surroundings as relaxed as hawker centres to the indulgence of high-end restaurants.
For a taste of Singapore, you can try the near-ubiquitous Hainanese chicken rice, beautiful chilli crab, colourful ice kacang or the fish-head curry, a unique dish which was formed from the cultural mix of this city.
