Most of us go to Singapore Expo for one thing. A concert, a car show, a sale in one of the halls. Then we take the train home.
Next time, stay for dinner, and leave room in your bag.
Outside Hall 5, MarketPlace @ Expo runs a food park with close to 30 stalls and a live music stage. Entry is free. A short walk from Expo MRT, Changi City Point has outlet stores with discounts of up to 80%.
MarketPlace @ Expo is a partner on FIS SULIT! Rewards, so members get a S$5.80 rice bowl there. More on that below.
Hands up for the band. Entry is free.
