We spent a day with Esther Quek – one of the city’s most stylish and in-the-know denizens – to find out where the Lion City’s rich and famous like to play
The film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians hits US screens today, and if the Singapore-set film has the same effect that The Lord of the Rings trilogy had on New Zealand’s tourism industry, the Lion City is likely to see a bump in visitors after its release.

To help you navigate the hot spots where Singapore’s movers and shakers mingle, we spent a day with one of the city’s most stylish and in-the-know denizens: Esther Quek.
From private members’ club 1880 to landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands and local spots such as food centre Lau Pa Sat, Quek took us on a whirlwind tour of the city state and showed us where Singapore’s real Crazy Rich Asians like to play.
1880
Established in December 2017 and located in the happening enclave of Robertson Quay, 1880 has quickly become one of the hottest destinations among the city’s creative class.
A members-only club, the space, designed by Timothy Oulton, features a screening room, a co-working space, a bar, a restaurant and a spa and grooming salon.
