The Asia museum across the river from the Fullerton Hotel is worth a look. Also near there, on the street behind Boat Quay you can get a nice beef rendang for cheap. The Fullerton itself is nice but pricey, I stayed there when visiting for work.
Taxis can be difficult to hail on the street, esp. in the rain (every afternoon) or at busy times. You will generally have to phone to book one, or find a taxi rank at a posh hotel.
As someone mentioned upthread, the ethnic neighborhoods are worth seeking out. Chinatown is near the central business district and great if you want tea or tea paraphernalia.Or good local food.
See if there is a way to view/tour the black and white colonial-era houses (I had a colleague show me around so I don't know how viable this is. Maybe you could hire a bike and get to them? Cycling around the central district looks a little unfriendly but my colleagues there take taxis to work with Bromptons in the boot for the journey home.)
