Date ideas in the North-East
Punggol and Sengkang have quietly become one of the best-value corners for a date: neighbourhood food at hawker prices, Punggol Point’s old jetty at sunset, the Waterway, and Coney Island if you want something wilder.
If it pours, Punggol Regional Library is the biggest public library in Singapore, with a café inside.
