Hawker centres are Michelin-noted: Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle and Liao Fan Hawker Chan have actual Michelin stars and serve $5 meals. Maxwell, Tiong Bahru and Old Airport Road are the must-do hawker centres: chicken rice, char kuey teow, laksa.

The whole island is reachable in under an hour; Changi airport to downtown is 30 min on the MRT for under SGD 3.

Salaries match the costs, barely: Singapore is genuinely expensive (rent SGD 3–5k for a one-bed in central) but income tax tops out at 22% and there's no capital gains tax. The math works only if your employer covers housing or your salary is SGD 8k+.
