Rucksack Inn | Truly Singapore

WE CAN BE BEACH PARTY ANIMALS

There are beaches in Singapore too! Feel free to suntan your bods in the island of Sentosa where there are various beaches such as the Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach, and Tanjong Beach. Sentosa is a family-friendly island as well with attractions that include the Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A Aquarium, and Adventure Cove.
Discounted tickets are available at the reception.

WE PRESERVE OUR HISTORY

Singapore is a multi-cultural country with Western influences, and she holds bits and pieces of history from the beginning of time. For example, you’ll be able to explore spice stores, museums, and take a ride on a trishaw at Little India and Chinatown. There are other major landmarks as well such as the Rex Theatre, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, Chinatown Heritage Centre, and the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. If you wish to visit fashion boutiques, and quirky cafes and bars in a heritage location, head down to Haji Lane. Overseas Attractions is a useful resource to find out more information on attractions in Singapore.

WE WORK HARD AND WE PARTY HARD

It’s important for us to unwind after working hours, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when work’s out on the next day! If you want to party like a local, just drop by Clarke Quay – our favourite hangout! The area is popular for having a wide selection of bars, nightclubs, and late-night dining. Join the queue at some of the hyped-about places such as F-club, Attica, Chupitos, The Pump Room, and Highlander.

WE HAVE OUR VERY OWN COCKTAIL – THE SINGAPORE SLING

Before the existence of Mixologists, we have our very own bartenders to create a special concoction that is uniquely Singapore. A Hainanese bartender serving at Raffles Hotel’s Long Bar, Ngiam Tong Boon, created the Singapore Sling in 1915 with ingredients such as gin, Cointreau, cherry brandy, and more.

THERE ARE PLACES WHERE FOODIES UNITE

We love to share and try a bit of everything, and hawker centres are the best food places to be with a group of foodies. You’ll get to try an array of local delights such as BBQ seafood, satay, prata, chilli crab, chicken rice, and more at highly affordable prices. Just gather your troops and order a few plates so that you can dip your fingers into all of them. You can visit some of our most famous hawker centres like Lau Pa Sat, Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, Newton Hawker Centre and Chomp Chomp.

YOU CAN HAVE BREAKFAST WITH ORANGUTANS

YOLO, so why not have Breakfast with an Orangutan? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and interact with the Orangutans in the Singapore Zoo. Besides that, the Singapore Zoo houses other animals in an ‘open exhibit’ manner so that you can go up close to them. The River Safari and The Night Safari are also in the vicinity if you are up for more animals viewing.
Discounted tickets are available at the reception.

WORLD’S FIRST NIGHT ZOO

Singapore’s Night Safari is the first night zoo in the world where visitors are admitted only when the sun sets. This is designed for visitors to understand and get close to nocturnal animals, which are active only at nightfall.
Discounted tickets are available at the reception.

WE SPEAK ENGLISH TOO

Our national language may be Malay, with our national anthem written in that language, but English is the most commonly spoken language in Singapore! We even have our unique way of speaking English that many find interesting. Singlish, or Singapore English, is a mixture of English and dialects and is often identifiable when we end sentences with lah or leh.

SINGAPORE’S NATIONAL FLOWER IS VANDA MISS JOAQUIM

The orchid was first discovered in 1893 by Agnes Joaquim, an Armenian, and was chosen to be Singapore’s national flower for its resilience and year round blooming quality; characteristics presented in the country. A park and several roads in Singapore are named after the national flower as well. Drop by Singapore Botanic Gardens or Gardens by the Bay for a glance of Vanda Miss Joaquim and other plants that make up the Garden City.
