Marina South Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Marina South next week. I've seen all the pictures, the fancy hotels, the integrated resorts... but I'm curious about the local side. Is there a hidden, less touristy spot where t… more
Depends what you mean by "local". Marina South is pretty much all built up, so there aren't really any "old" neighborhoods tucked away. It's all relatively new development.

For food, you’ll find more local places a little further out – maybe try Telok Blangah Hill Park, it’s close by and has some smaller hawker centres with a different feel than the mega-resorts. Not exactly secret, but a step away from the Marina Bay Sands frenzy.

Or maybe it was just a really good sound system cleverly placed... to enhance the overall experience, perhaps? Either way, that's a story you won't forget!
