Living in Singapore
Living in Singapore (LIS) magazine is a gazette-style publication produced six times per year by the American Association of Singapore (AAS). Living in Singapore is the revamped version of Singapore American newspaper. Since its first publication in 1958,
​
Singapore American newspaper was the information pipe-line to the American community, to other expats, and to the local community in Singapore. Living in Singapore continues that long tradition.
​
LIS is published five times a year digitally and once in print which is then dropped at places across Singapore, including The American Club, the US Naval facility at PSA Sembawang, the US Embassy, major relocation companies, health institutions, international schools and serviced apartment operators. We're everywhere!
​
Beloved by the expat community, this "home-town paper" is filled with valuable information, informative stories on upcoming cultural and community events, travel, arts and culture, health and wellness, sports, member-offers and places to visit.

Food is one of the easiest ways to understand a place—and the people in it. We know how much Singaporeans love their food! You can see it when at hawker centers, malls, and of course, in the city’s many great restaurants!
In this issue, we explore how food and culture are constantly shaping each other here. We speak to the founder of Boutiques Fair, where you will always find something good to eat and drink while browsing the many shops! We also take a closer look at Singapore’s Michelin-recognized restaurants and hawkers—where fine dining and everyday meals sit side by side in a way that still feels uniquely Singaporean.
We all know there is more to food than just eating! It brings communities together, too! Discover how communities form strength over meals, from long-standing traditions to showing up for one another with a dish in hand!
We round things out with a look at festivals across Singapore, where arts, music, food, and culture help us find out more about the city and ourselves.
Whether you’re discovering a new favorite spot or revisiting an old one, we hope this issue encourages you to slow down, pull up a chair, and share a meal.
