My absolute must-have guide to stylish Singapore. Brilliantly written, fabulously researched and intuitive to boot, this is the book that every connected urbanist wished they had written themselves. It’s brilliant! Finally a guide that tells young and like-minded people where to go. I think Singapore CityScoops is absolutely spot on and Singapore can only benefit from such a well-informed, high-quality production. I have spent the last 7 months exploring every recommendation in your book. It is pure gold and the recommendations are right on the money. Your book has become the basis for how my girlfriend and I spend our weekend. It is more than a book, it is an adventure guide. Thanks for coming up with a fantastic guide that\´s eye-opening for us Singaporeans too! What a fabulous book! It has brought a sense of wonder back to how I view Singapore ... almost a desire to re-explore the city that I have so often labelled as boring and un-colourful! Seen through the eyes of CityScoops, I am tempted to put my walking shoes on and venture into the unknown territories of the East and all the other areas outside Orchard Road that I have often been reluctant to explore on my own ... This book reintroduces Singapore to me – it presents all that is new, fun and funky, and does it with infectious enthusiasm. I had a great time searching out all the places I had never heard of but couldn´t wait to visit. It seems we are having a boom in quirky, individual enterprises – a new economy of creativity. Singapore? Now the coolest spot on the equator! I’ve never seen a guide quite like this ... it fills that gap between a trendy coffee table book and a serious, informative city guide. Singapore CityScoops is a zesty read and looks really exciting! CityScoops serves up a generous dollop of the ‘real’ Singapore... with page after page of vibrant pictures and bite-sized, lively prose, CityScoops is all that more digestible and perfect for your next visit to Singapore. I’ve always felt Singapore has secret hideaways that truly reflect just how unique and interesting our country is. And finally, a book that divulges all these secrets! More an exclusive peek into local trendsetters’ shortlists than a travel guide, Singapore CityScoops spots the cool and the no-frills ... and then some. Curated consumption at its best! I love the way the book covers the whole of Singapore and am glad to see that some of my favourite haunts are included. I perpetually complain about how there is nothing to do in Singapore ... and here is a book that captures fun things for locals and tourists to explore. I remember those first months in Singapore when I felt homesick and did not know where to go to feel good and enjoy myself. With this book I would have found those places and got more pleasure from my start-up period. |
