β MISTAKE 4: Eating at Tourist Restaurants
I ate mostly near Sentosa & Orchard Road.
Avg meal: βΉ1,200 per person.
Total food spend: ~βΉ25,000+
What I didnβt know: Hawker centres were 5 mins away.
Same dishes: βΉ300ββΉ400.
π΄ Wasted: βΉ18,000+
Singapore hawker food is UNESCO heritage.
Itβs not cheap food β itβs THE food locals eat daily.
Best hawkers:
π Maxwell Food Centre
π Lau Pa Sat
π Chinatown Complex
π Old Airport Road
π Newton Food Centre

β MISTAKE 5: Airport Currency Exchange
I exchanged βΉ50,000 at Changi Airport.
Rate was terrible.
Lost ~βΉ3,000 instantly.
Full trip loss: βΉ6KββΉ8K.
Better places:
π± Lucky Plaza
π± Mustafa Centre
π± Chinatown money changers
Pro tip: Exchange small amount in India β rest in city.

β MISTAKE 6: Skipping Night Safari Tram
I tried to save βΉ700 by not taking the tram.
Big mistake.
Walking trails alone = saw very few animals.
The tram is the main experience (lions, tigers, rhinos up close).
Saved βΉ700 β missed 80% of Night Safari.

π° PART 1 + PART 2 TOTAL LOSS: βΉ78,600+
On a trip that should cost βΉ88K.
Thatβs almost another international trip wasted on rookie mistakes.
