Arsenal to play against AC Milan and Newcastle United in Singapore this July

If you tuned in to the UEFA Champions League action early this morning, you’d know that Arsenal have secured their spot in the semi-finals, after knocking out last season’s champs Real Madrid in a thrilling clash. The Gunners are on fire, and just when you thought the hype couldn’t get any bigger, here’s the kicker: Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and co are bringing the heat to Singapore this July. Joining them are Italian giants AC Milan and fellow Premier League side Newcastle United for what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest sporting events in Singapore this year: the Singapore Festival of Football. It all goes down at the iconic National Stadium, with two match days set for July 23 and 27.   Photograph: Singapore Festival of Football   What is the Singapore Festival of Football? Launched in 2023 as part of a five-year partnership, the Singapore Festival of Football brings elite European clubs to our shores every other year. Its debut featured English clubs Liverpool FC, Tottenham Hotspur, and Leicester City FC as well as German powerhouse Bayern Munich, drawing tens of thousands of fans and selling out seats faster than you could shout "VAR!"  This year, the stakes feel even bigger.

TUX Bar and Lounge launches new signature cocktails inspired by local flavours

There’s something irresistible about cocktails that flirt with local flavours – and TUX Bar & Lounge is pouring out a whole new reason to sip. Its latest lineup of signature cocktails ($28 each) is a love letter to Singapore – just in time for SG60. The Old Fashioned Nonya is a pandan-infused spin on the whisky classic. It’s like a liquid nonya kueh, with gula melaka notes lingering gently at the end of every sip, making for a pleasant aftertaste.    Photograph: TUX Bar & Lounge at Carlton Hotel Singapore   Then there’s Bandung Unplugged, which defies logic. It looks crystal clear but delivers all the milky, rose-syrupy goodness of the drink your auntie used to make – only this time with vodka. Wondering how it gets that translucent look? Here’s the inside scoop: milk-washing – a clever technique where milk is curdled and strained, leaving behind a silky, clarified drink with all the flavour and none of the cloudiness. For something spicier, the Gin-Ken Chilli Sour is a bold gin tribute to chicken rice, with garlic, chilli padi, ginger and lime. It’s punchy, complex, and definitely one for the adventurous palate. A more citrusy alternative is the Laksa Margarita, which blends tequila with laksa leaf and lemongrass for a tangy, tropical kick.   Photograph: TUX Bar & Lounge at Carlton Hotel Singapore   But if there’s one showstopper we can’t stop talking about, it’s the BTC (aka Boba Tea Cocktail). With rum, black tea, and house-made chewy pearls, it’s a playful finish to y

Why summer in Europe hits different – here’s how to plan your next holiday

There’s no season quite like summer in Europe. From June to September, the continent basks in endless sunshine, where temperatures soar to a toasty 30 degrees – ideal for those who love the warmth without Singapore’s humidity. Imagine spending long, lazy days in the Mediterranean, sipping cocktails on a terrace in the French Alps, or strolling through charming cobblestone streets. With the days stretching longer, especially in the north where the sun sets as late as midnight, you’ll have more time to explore, eat, and celebrate under the golden sky. Once you experience it, you’ll understand why Europeans love summertime.   Photograph: Shutterstock   Key events that make summer in Europe unforgettable  If you’re into music, Glastonbury Festival in England and Primavera Sound in Barcelona are bucket list must-haves. For something more eclectic, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is Europe’s largest arts festival, turning the Scottish city into a hub of comedy, theatre, and performances.  Immerse in age-old traditions with the Midsummer Festival in cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, where locals celebrate the summer solstice with dancing, feasting, and good company. Or if you’re in Spain, the UNESCO-listed La Patum de Berga in Catalonia celebrates Corpus Christi with parades, fireworks, and giant puppets.    Photograph: Emirates Airline   Explore 40 incredible destinations in Europe with Emirates  So, how do you get there?

Here's what to expect at the Porsche Singapore Classic 2025 even if you don't golf

Time to get into the swing of things as the Porsche Singapore Classic returns to Laguna National Golf Resort Club to kick off the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing. The event is now in its third edition, with Porsche returning as Title Partner for the second year. From March 20 to 23, catch a stellar lineup of top golfers from around the world, including English star Paul Casey, DP World Tour winners Haotong Li (China), Keita Nakajima (Japan) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Thailand), who was last year’s runner-up. Adding firepower to the fairway are PGA Tour winners Robert MacIntyre and Jimmy Walker. Singapore’s very own 17-year-old Brayden Lee is also making waves, stepping up for his biggest challenge yet after qualifying for the event – a must-watch moment for golf fans.  But this isn’t just about the competition – the Porsche Singapore Classic is teeing up an experience that goes beyond the greens. Swing by the spectator village, where a number of food trucks await to keep you fuelled with tasty street eats.  Photograph: Porsche Singapore Classic Once you’re re-energised, put your skills to the test with Greenside Tic-Tac-Toe or try balancing 18 golf balls on 18 tees as fast as you can at the Par-Tee Time station. Then try your luck at the Birdie Blitz Rewards gashapon machine for prizes or take aim in the daily putting qualifier – nail it, and you could be driving home in a brand-new Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

HSBC Women’s World Championships returns with more hands-on golf experiences for all ages

It’s tee time – the HSBC Women’s World Championship is swinging back into action from February 27 to March 2, returning to the award-winning Sentosa Golf Club with some serious heat for its 17th edition.   Photograph: HSBC Women’s World Championship   As one of the most prestigious stops on the LPGA Tour, the HSBC Women’s World Championship will excite golf fans with yet another star-studded lineup. Nine of the world’s top 10 women golfers including World No. 2 Ruoning Yin (China), and World No. 3 and three-time major champ Lydia Ko (New Zealand) are set to compete alongside 19 major champions.

This Alice in Wonderland-inspired immersive dining experience serves up cat food and toothpaste

If you've ever wondered what it's like to tumble down the Rabbit Hole, Wonderland Upside Down by ANDSOFORTH is here to make that fantasy a very trippy reality. And yes, that includes things I never thought I’d willingly eat like toothpaste, mouthwash, and cat food. But more on that later.   Photograph: ANDSOFORTH   In celebration of its 10th anniversary this year, the award-winning immersive theatrical dining company has created an experience that’s part dinner party, part fever dream, and entirely unlike your childhood memories of Alice in Wonderland. Instead of a waistcoat-wearing White Rabbit or the quirky Mad Hatter, you’ll meet the real people who inspired Lewis Carroll’s eccentric characters. But things aren’t always as it seems. The adventure begins at The Hatter’s Asylum, a hat shop where I was handed a welcome drink and a fun little DIY project. As I crafted away, orchestral covers of pop bangers played in the background – think Bridgerton, but delightfully unhinged. Then, it was time to tumble deeper into the Rabbit Hole.   Photograph: Cam Khalid   Every room was a new surprise, from stunning set designs including a massive animatronic black cat to the wildly entertaining cast who weren’t afraid to roast us guests. The five-course dinner was just as theatrical – one moment I was slurping a rich Chinese-style soup, the next, digging into a fragrant Indian chicken korma. Then came the curveballs: salmon-based cat food, cream cheese toothpaste with crackers, and a
