Sam Potenciano and Ralph Mendoza share their unique perspectives on the Lion City.

Singapore has always been a favorite destination for many, attracting visitors from all corners of the world eager to explore its rich culture and stunning beauty.
Recently, creative duo Sam Potenciano (freelance writer, editor, and owner of vintage store Souvenir) and Ralph Mendoza (a photographer who has worked with brands like IKEA and publications such as L'Officiel) visited Singapore to uncover its hidden gems and must-see spots, offering a fresh perspective through the lens of their Filipino heritage.

Ten years after their first trip to Singapore, Ralph and Sam decided to relive the excitement and wonder of their first visit to the country. Singapore, a vibrant melting pot of cultures, offers something new and exciting at every turn. Whether savoring a scrumptious meal or enjoying a day of sightseeing, the country promises unforgettable experiences and more.
If you find yourself craving delicious food, Xiao Ya Tou has got you covered with its modern take on favorite Asian dishes. Immerse yourself in the joy and authenticity of the dining experience, where traditional flavors meet contemporary flair.

A quick visit to the National Gallery Singapore will satisfy your creative heart as you explore the world&rsquo;s most extensive public collection of Singaporean and Southeast Asian modern art.&nbsp;

Indulge in a Singaporean staple, kaya toast, while sipping your coffee and letting your eyes wander the lively streets of Singapore.

&ldquo;I wanted to rediscover the city where I first explored the world as a young creative,&rdquo; says Sam. Singapore's diversity and seamless integration of nature and architecture create the perfect environment for creativity to thrive.
If you look closely enough, its rich and vibrant cities always offer something new. The warmth of its people and the richness of its culture will always be reasons to return.
