Hi there... Just arrived in Singapore. I'm from Jakarta Indonesia and I've heard a lot about Clarke Quay - Mostly from friends who visited Singapore a couple of years back. I heard they have eateries as well as clubs to party.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Depends on the music u prefer and the crowd. A very expat crowd is available at Attica or Le Noir. For food, if u're from Indo u might like Indochine. OctoTapas is good for Mexican and for a live band I tink The Pump Room is most popular in that area =)

They're all the same, Clarke Quay = the most boring, soulless tourist trap in Singapore

How do you feel about Holland Village?

Pretty similar, although less of a tourist trap and at least I can eat my dinner without different music blasting at me from all directions.
Most nightlife in Singapore sucks, but I don't live here for that so it's ok

Best place to eat in Clarkey Quay for me would be Las Iguanas - always has good food and the margharitas they make there are top notch.
If you are looking for a good night out and don't mind the wild younger crowd (including myself haha) then I would check out Attica or Le Noir as the previous person suggested. Clarke Quay tends to be a tourist hotspot and there are much better places out there like the number of bars in Dempsey Rd. I recommend checking that out!

Agree - the best thing about Clarke Quay is the taxi journey home.....

Ras for Indian food
Cafe Iguana for Mexican (nothing like real Mexican or TexMex but still very good)
Breworks for Beer and good bar food.
I can’t help you with night life. I’m usually on my way home well before anything starts happening.

@ BillyB - Why would the best part of clarke quay be the cab ride home
@ Calmday - I just visited Ras yesterday for lunch. Good recommendation! The food was truly amazing. And it seems they had this promotion going on where a meal is only $15? Does anyone have information on this lunch thing?

Because it bores me and is full of p*ssed-up expats and travellers trying it on with anything that moves. I'd rather sh*t myself than go drinking in that tourist trap.

You could have a point there.
Although I went down to where the tanjong beach club is recently and it wasn't too bad there, not too many people around

Such places wouldn't even have wifi... if you're referring to the strength of service, it really depends on how remote the place in question is.
