Singapore airport things to do
I have a 11 hour gap between flights this December here and was looking for a reccomendation for places to eat etc. I wasnt planning on going through immigration.
I see on the airport web site there is a butterfly exhibition but couldnt ascertain if it was on the departure side of the terminals.
thanks

Assuming an EU passport, or that you don't need a visa, you would be through immigration in less than 5 minutes. I can't recall ever having to wait for a immigration officer.
You can take the metro into town, do some shopping, or find a bar. Lots of nice places along the river for a drink.
SIN is nice, but not so nice I'd want to spend 11 hours there.

You can take a free tour of Singapore
Free Singapore Tour - Changi Airport
Changi has a cinema, a swimming pool and an outdoor beer garden on the roof. Loads to do and a great airport, compared to many.

You can book a transit room for a minimum of 6 hours. Transit Hotel - Changi Airport. Spend a couple of hours browsing around the airport (it really is magnificent) and then get your head down.
Plenty of cheap eateries in the airport such as the small upstairs food courts in the main terminals. Just follow the signs. Or ask or follow the SIA cabin staff if you are in their terminal. They go to the best value eateries in between flights, such as $4 laksa. Yum.
Changi is a good airport, but I would definately get out and go and see a bit of Singapore. In fact, with 11 hours - you could see most of it!
No Visa - lightning fast immigration - good taxis. Go and see it.

That's a bit tough, I had ten years there!
More helpfully ... on food, if there's a Singapore style food court there, go to it. Singapore food courts are great!
And also, I agree with those that say get out and see some of Singapore. You'll have plenty of time.

Been there thanks for the info
Thanks for the tips on the airport. I did book the transit hotel which was just as well as there always seemed to be a queue of people trying to get a room. I was tired so explored the airport and then slept before the next flight.
Overall I found the airport excellent with plenty of places to eat and drink. The butterfly garden was very nice as was the Carp pond.
One thing though, the drinks were expensive! 18 Euros for a large and small draught beer and 22 Euros for two glasses of very average wine! Guess I should stick to the water in future!
