The East Coast of Singapore is largely residential and offers few sights as such; most visitors just cross it on their way from and to Changi Airport. For Singaporeans, on the other hand, the main attractions are 20 km of white sandy beach and the food: this is the home of many of Singapore's culinary icons.
