If you are there for business, hook up with one of the locals to find a good food court. My first time (1988) I was there for 10 days R&R (really VISA renewal) while working in India. All times since were short business trips.

Nothing is cheap. That is long past. Raffles is OK, but then I haven't been there in 15 years. And the bartender couldn't make a Black and Tan and he had HARP and GUINNESS on TAP! I had to show him and bend the spoon, etc.

One thing I did like, even though they weren't cheap, was that the Electronics area of town has lots of stuff that hasn't made it to the USA yet. I bought an Alinco credit card size 2m/70cm transceiver HAM radio before it was in the USA.
