Morning

Start your day by treating yourselves to some local delicacies in Pek Kio Market and Food Centre. Enjoying a hearty breakfast at one of the many long-standing restaurants is a must! Although some of the prices might come across as a bit outrageous, you wouldn't be able to say no to a prawn noodle dish with creamy broth and jumbo-sized prawns! Not a big seafood fan? Head over to Rangoon Road instead for a tantalisingly delicious, peppery pork-based herbal soup. A pleasant five-minute stroll from Pek Kio Market and Food Centre will bring you to Little India; a must-see tourist attraction in Singapore. Explore the bustling nooks and corners of Little India, especially the diverse array of markets which sell everything that you'd ever imagine. For as much as $5, you can get a Henna tattoo that would make your hand look quite oriental. You can also visit charming temples such as Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple which depict ornate décor of Hindu origins.

Afternoon

As the stomachs start rumbling towards noon, head over to Tyrwhitt Road for a mouthwatering lunch at one of the fancy eateries or the hawker centre you'd come across, along the way. Step into The Tiramisu Hero for dessert and revel in its delightful Tiramisu flavours, which comes in ten varieties. You can even capture that perfect click with one of the adorable cat figurines at this restaurant. Their menu includes options for lunch as well with flavoursome dishes such as vegan meatball bucatini, chunky mushroom soup, and much-loved traditional eatables like Mee Hoon Kueh. One does get tired after going through a palatable array of dishes for lunch. So to freshen up, or just for a quick nap, you can walk over to a hotel in Farrer Park the likes of Park Hotel Farrer Park which lies only five minutes away from The Tiramisu Hero.

Evening

Why not spend your evening at Farrer Park in a restful haze by summoning your inner artist at Heartroom Gallery, which can be found in Owen Road. You'll even be provided with a canvas and acrylic paint for your art jamming session as they would call it. It's a great place to meet like-minded people and a novel experience which would help you to relax and unwind to your heart's content. For that fantastic click to decorate your Instagram feed, why not explore some cafés in Rangoon Road! Their themed desserts are what makes more tourists attracted to this place. Artisanal gelatos and delicious waffles just add to the vibe of the place. It is quite cosy and has the perfect ambience to end the evening. To bring an end to a fabulous day out at the Farrer Park, consider heading over to City Square Mall, which is the first eco mall that houses several international brands such as Charles & Keith. It is rather conveniently located next to the MRT station, for the journey back home.
