Hong Kong is best but Singapore also pretty decent

Seoul and Tokyo are not ideal at all

depends; where are you on the way from? Sydney, Australia would be a great place to spend Shabbos on the way to Singapore!

Hong Kong (KZ in Kowloon) is tops.

Singapore is manageable but nothing about the davening or food is spectacular

I think it's unfair to vote when you haven't stayed at all.

really the poll is
Which have you stayed at.


Only certain post should be counted....

Hong Kong is best but Singapore also pretty decent

Seoul and Tokyo are not ideal at all

I'm flying from New York I need to be in Singapore for Sunday night.  Basically, I need to get someplace near Singapore before Shabbos, so looking for someplace interesting to spend Shabbos. Thanks for the comments
