Lonely Planet : Pocket guides for quick, easy and accessible information for a short break Smart, sharp and just a little sexy, Singapore is Southeast Asia's new 'It kid', subverting staid old stereotypes with ambitious architecture, dynamic museums, celebrity chefs and hip boutiques. Spike it with smoky temples, gutrumble- inducing food markets and pockets of steamy jungle, and you might find that Asia's former wallflower is a much more intriguing bloom than you gave it credit for.
