I would most definitely recommend Pasir Panjang to anyone who visits Singapore. Being a native of the land, I would most certainly be qualified on this area. It is perhaps one of the most scenic spots in Singapore. Pasir Panjang is perhaps more residential than commercial in nature even if it is recognised by the locals for housing the Singapore Science Parks.
Some places to visit would include the Science Park, Mount Faber which is close to Pasir Panjang, the war fortresses of Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Park. The view from the peak of these hills (Singapore is quite flat without much variance in the altitude of the island) is fabulous. You can view the activity of the ports and harbour from certain angles, the view of Sentosa - an offshore island, pretty clearly and the skies light up during the monsoon periods when the lightning flashes across the expanse of the sky. Also, because our climate is tropical, you will not have to worry about there being rainy days that are too cold to go out in.
There is also a Hawker Centre nearby that sells great local food at reasonable prices. Pasir Panjang Village offers some semblance of nightlife but you would be better off at the more popular nightspots of Mohamme Sultan Road and Clarke Quay, as well as, Boat Quay.
Don't expect to get much shopping done in that area though as there are more supermarkets there than there are designer boutiques...
