The Quay is a popular destination for expatriates to come relax or take a leisurely walk, as this high-end and fairly quiet part of town also happens to feature a number of boutique shops and cafes offering gourmet cakes and pastries.
What makes the area a favorite for westerners is not just the peaceful open space, but the unique and modern twist on décor and cuisine, such as in Bar Bar Black Sheep, an upscale café-bar with a range of tasty foods from Indian to Thai to Western. The area is also a very desirable residential neighborhood, with some of the best serviced apartments in the city.
Although Robertson Quay is the furthest north of the three quays it is still very convenient, only a few minutes away from Marina Bay and Shenton Way. A little pricey, it is nonetheless an enjoy place to walk around and enjoy a great view of the water.

Doing what: Singapore Night Sightseeing Tour with Gardens by the Bay, Bumboat Ride and Chinatown
The tour of the Garden by the Bay and Chinatown were awesome. The dinner included was perfect - sitting out on a patio was wonderful. The Bumboat Ride on the other hand was a total fiasco. The tour operators at the location we went to (near the Merlion) was so disorganized and had no communications with the boats what so ever. Very confusing. Not a perfect ending to what otherwise was a wonderful experience.

Doing what: Singapore Night Sightseeing Tour with Gardens by the Bay, Bumboat Ride and Chinatown
This was a good way to see most of Singapore. It started with a meal in a local bar, very basic but enjoyable. Then the tour began on a bus and we visited China town which was a good introduction if you should decide to revisit for dinner. We went tothe Gardens by the bay. This was amazing with the tall manmade solar power trees. The tour finished on a bum boat which took us across the bay and we saw the daily laser show from the boat - brilliant. Took us on to Clarke Quay where we decided to get off as were staying nearby.
