If you are feeling flush when you arrive in Singapore, you can toast the success of your African safari with a Singapore Sling cocktail in the famous Raffles Hotel, where the drink was invented. Alternatively head to any of the wonderful hawkers centres that house dozens of food and drink stalls under one roof, where you can dine like a king for less than the price of a pint back home!
