Path Well Traveled: A Singapore Travel Guide
As heroes gather from across Rathe, a new battlefield rises from the waves — Singapore, the Lion City, where tradition meets innovation and legends are born. Whether you’re a warrior of the Savage Lands or a rogue from Metrix, your next great quest begins here.
A bustling port at the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore mirrors the spirit of the High Seas — a melting pot of cultures, flavors, and stories. Its streets hum with energy, from the glowing skyline of Marina Bay to the spice-laden stalls of its famed hawker centers. Here, every ride on the MRT is a side quest, and every meal is a rare buff worth savoring.
But beyond the city’s calm façade lies the true test—the Flesh and Blood Pro Tour. Champions will rise, battles will rage, and destinies will be forged. Yet win or lose, this island realm promises discovery at every turn.
So ready your deck, tighten your gear, and set your course. The Pro Tour awaits and Singapore is your first great challenge.
General Information
Arrival Information
You will be arriving at Changi Airport which is one of the largest transportation hubs in Southeast Asia consisting of 4 major terminals. Changi Airport’s terminals are connected by a free Skytrain service, which operates from 5.00am to 2.30am, at both the transit and public areas. It takes approximately four minutes to travel between terminals by Skytrain, with an average waiting time of 2 minutes.
To get to the city, you will need to transfer to the westbound train at Tanah Merah Station via the MRT. The MRT train station is accessible by foot from Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 via an underground passageway. The first train to Tanah Merah Station departs Changi Airport Station at 5.31am on Monday to Saturday and at 5.59am on Sunday and public holidays. The last train to Tanah Merah Station that connects to the city departs Changi Airport Station at 11.18pm.
Official Languages
- British English (Common and First Language)
- Mandarin / Malay (Behasa Melayu) / Tamil
While the official language of Singapore is Malay, English is the lingua franca of the nation, and almost all Singaporeans are bilingual. Signs and notices are in English and are often accompanied with Chinese, Malay and Tamil equivalents.
Currency: Singapore Dollar (SGD/S$)
The exchange rate of SGD against USD and EUR is around S$1.28 and S$1.48 [as of 15th June 2025] respectively.* Money changers can be found in almost every shopping mall and offer more competitive rates than those found at the airport.
*Pro Tip = Singapore’s money changers are the best in the world when it comes to rates and there are no fees. It is located at The Arcade just above Raffles MRT Station.
Credit cards are widely accepted in malls, although smaller shops might add a 3% surcharge to the final bill. Cash is necessary if you want to enjoy the local fare in hawker centres or small eateries.
Tipping
Tipping is not practised in Singapore as restaurants and service establishments will automatically add a 10% service charge to the bill. There is also a 9% Goods and Services Tax (GST) which will be added to most bills although some stores may absorb this.
Electricity
Singapore’s electrical power supply is 220-240V AC @ 50Hz. Most plugs used are the British 13AMP 3 pin fused mains plug.
You can also use the 2 round-pin mains plug [shown below] for the 3 pin power socket and most hotels provide a universal power socket. I would caution against the use of the German Schuko plugs as the Earth point in Singapore’s power socket is located on the top.
Current Climate / Weather
I hope you love the heat and the beach because due to Singapore’s location by the equator, Singapore is characterised by a hot and humid climate.
Early Q2 in July is generally considered the warmest and wettest period of the year as the monsoon season is approaching. During this period, the average temperature can range from 28-36°C with very high levels of humidity (>80%) and strong glaring sunlight. Bring your sunscreens!
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in all air-conditioned places, as well as within 5 metres from any building entrance or shelters such as taxi stands and bus stops. Violation of smoking laws can incur a maximum fine of S$1,000. Most buildings have a designated smoking area that you may use.
Do take note that it is not possible to purchase cigarettes from Duty Free Shops on arrival at Changi Airport and all cigarettes brought into Singapore would require customs declaration as the penalty is severe (1 opened pack is usually exempt from GST taxation but subsequent packs are taxed, cigarettes brought into Singapore are dutiable per pack).
Commuting & Venue
The venue address is:
Resort World Convention Center
8 Sentosa Gateway
Singapore 098269
It is located at Resorts World Sentosa on the Sentosa Island at the south of Singapore. Travel by public transport is via Monorail at Harbourfront Building with the Harbourfront MRT Station below. There are no public buses serving Sentosa Island.
Traveling in Singapore
The most preferred and recommended mode of transport is via the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), also known as our local subway. Each MRT station is conveniently located near major landmarks and can get you close to any place that you may want to visit.
The maps are easy to read and all signs in the MRT stations are printed in English. To travel by the MRT just tap your Credit Card at the gantry. At the moment only major credit cards like Visa, Mastercard & AMEX are accepted.
Taxis are also an affordable option, a ride from the airport to the venue at Resorts World Sentosa should cost no more than SG$50. Do note that there is a hesitancy for drivers to drive into Sentosa Island itself due to a vehicle tax upon entry and barely any customers to pick up at Sentosa.
Trains
There are currently 6 main track lines in the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system.
- Red : North-South Line (Station code: NS)
- Green : East-West Line (EWL)
- Purple : North-East Line (NEL)
- Orange : Circle Line (CCL)
- Blue : Downtown Line (DTL)
- Brown : Thomson-East Line (TEL)
For this event, the Harbourfront Interchange Station (both NEL & CCL) will be most frequented as you will need to get to this station to go to Sentosa Island.
You can ignore the LRTs as they serve residential areas only.
All lines are seamlessly integrated, even if the lines are operated by different transport companies.The North-East, Circle, Thomson-East and Downtown lines are fully automated. There are no drivers and you can get a view of the tunnel at the front of the train.
Travel via the MRT is the most preferred method as it’s fast, efficient and connects to nearly all major locations in Singapore. You may choose to download a MRT map on your smartphone for easy reference or pick up a copy from any of the passenger service centre.
Taxis
Hiring a taxi service is the easiest method of getting around in Singapore, but this comes at a steeper price as compared to the MRT. Most taxi drivers can converse in English.
You can hail a taxi along a road, at a taxi stand, or make a phone booking with one of the many taxi companies in Singapore.
In Singapore, it is illegal for taxis to tout and taxi cab fares must be charged by the taxi meter and are based on a flag down rate and the distance travelled. The flag down rate ranges from S$4.60 to S$9.80 depending on the type of taxi. A location surcharge may also apply. Please check with the driver or taxi company on the surcharge and ask for a receipt at the end of the trip. (This will come in handy if you do accidentally leave some of your belongings in the taxi)
During peak periods (7am to 9.30am and 6pm to 11.59pm on weekdays) there will be a 25% surcharge. If you are at a hotel, have the concierge call you a taxi. There is a midnight surge fee of 50% of your total fare for rides from 12 midnight till 5am.
Alternatively, you may try booking a taxi by phone. Do note that a booking fee ($3-$5) will be charged on top of your standard fare. Cash is the default and preferred payment option for taxi charges.
Ridesharing
There is no Uber in Singapore. Uber and Grab merged in Singapore for their car sharing services. These are licensed by the government and all Car Sharing vehicles must display their Private Hire Vehicle decal as shown below.
There are many Car Sharing apps to choose from and below are the 5 main ones you can choose from to download from your Android Playstore or Apple IOS.
ZIG is actually the app for ComfortdelGro taxis, but you can get Private Hire Vehicles if you book via ZIG sometimes.
Places of Interest
Sentosa Island
Universal Studios Singapore
Conveniently located at RWS (the venue) itself, USS rides are fun to behold. It is one of the five Universal Studios theme parks around the world.
Siloso Beach
Since Sentosa is an island, it means there will be beaches! Siloso Beach is the beach you are looking for. To get there you will need to take the Sentosa Monorail, alight at Beach Station and take the Beach Shuttle to Siloso Beach!
Outside of Sentosa Island
Henderson Waves (The Southern Ridges)
A personal favourite, Henderson Waves features multiple hover bridges that span the entire Telok Blangah Hill Park. It is also lit up with LED lights from 7pm to 2am in the evening which I recommend as you avoid the heat and enjoy the evening breeze.
You can start at Telok Blangah Park and hike towards Mount Faber (Vivocity Side). Or start at Mount Faber Park and hike towards Telok Blangah Park.
Singapore Cable Car
Located at the top of Mount Faber Hill, which is hikable to the Southern Ridges. It connects you back to Sentosa or from Sentosa to the hill summit. Great to have a view of the southern portion of Singapore if you ask.
Food
Honestly in a city where so many different cultures come together, our food is our heritage. Note that there are “food tours” organised by Judges if you are looking to join!
Hong Lim Food Centre
Location: NEL4 / DTL19 Chinatown
Address: 531A Upper Cross St, Singapore 051531
Honestly this gem of a hawker centre has multiple stores with Michelin Bib Gourmand awards. There are two that I personally frequent.
High Street Tai Wah Pork Noodle
Hong Lim Food Centre #02-16
Opening Hours: 9:30am – 7:30pm (Tues, Thurs Sun), Closed Mon, Wed
Ji Ji Noodle House 基记面家
Hong Lim Food Centre #02-48/49
Opening Hours: 9:30am – 3pm, 5pm – 7pm (Mon – Wed, Fri – Sun), Closed Thurs
Keng Eng Kee (Bukit Merah) “HAS CHILLI CRAB”
Blk 124, #01-136, Bukit Merah Lane 1, 150124, Singapore
Lunch: 11am to 2pm, Dinner: 5pm to 10pm
If you noticed I love to feast at places which are awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, this place is no exception. You can actually hike from the end/start point of Henderson Waves along Henderson Road. It serves local sze char food so I leave it to the Michelin website to recommend what else other than Chilli Crab you should order.
Katong Mei Wei Chicken Rice
865 Mountbatten Rd, KATONG shopping centre, Singapore 437844
10.45am – 7pm (Tue to Fri), 11am – 7pm (Sat & Sun), Closed on Mon
You come to Singapore, you find Chicken Rice. I’ll let the picture do the talking.
Convenience Stores
Whether you’re wandering late after a draft or setting sail early to explore the city, you’ll find 24/7 stores like 7-Eleven & Cheers, stationed like outposts across the island. These aren’t just vending machines with doors—they’re stocked treasure troves for weary travelers and sharp-eyed scavengers. However, they are reasonably priced.
Even the bravest champions of Rathe must manage their coin purse wisely. While convenience stores are fast and accessible, true bargain hunters venture into the deeper markets—where gold stretches further and the loot is plentiful.
Welcome to Singapore’s supermarket dungeons:
FairPrice, Giant, Sheng Siong, and Don Don Donki—each a labyrinth of value, packed with supplies for longer stays or budget meals between Pro Tour rounds.
FairPrice: The Solana Standard
Singapore’s largest supermarket chain, FairPrice is a staple across neighborhoods and malls. It’s where locals and visitors alike stock up on essentials—from ready-to-eat meals and fresh fruit to tournament snacks at nearly half the price of convenience stores.
Giant: The Green Guardian of Deals
Often found in heartland malls, Giant lives up to its name with wide aisles and generous pricing. It’s ideal for players staying longer or traveling with a team—snacks, instant noodles, bottled drinks, and even toiletries at bargain-bin prices.
Sheng Siong: The Shadow Realm of Savings
A local favorite with an almost cult following, Sheng Siong may look unassuming, but it hides rare finds and some of the cheapest prices in town. This is the market of choice for true value-seekers—especially if you’re craving local flavors like otah, kaya toast kits, or pandan cakes on a budget.
Don Don Donki: The Metrics of Mayhem
If you’re looking for a dash of chaos and a splash of Japan, Don Don Donki is your whimsical wildcard. While slightly pricier, it’s filled with quirky snacks, anime-themed items, and energy drinks that could rival any action card.
So before you load up at the nearest 7-Eleven, consider a detour into these deeper dungeons of daily living. For the price of one convenience store meal, you could gear up for a whole day of duels—with snacks to spare for allies.
After all, a true hero doesn’t just fight smart—they shop smart.
Currency Exchange
