A new Monday means it’s the start of another March week, which also means it’s time to make the most of the month before we have to bid farewell to it already. As we return from a weekend of Eid celebrations, the city also settles into a much cosier, low-key pace, with intimate happenings around town. There’s a new exhibition at Heartware Store & Gallery, a concert featuring only homegrown talent at SCAPE, plus a party to mark the end of Singapore Biennale 2025. There are loads of collector and creator markets to look forward to as well, at Aa Furniture, Tanchen Studios, and Objects.re. They each offer up cool stuff to take home, plus plenty of coffee to down. Here are all the best things to do in Singapore.

And another March week bites the dust. For some of us, this weekend means rushing down to Geylang Bazaar to sort out all our last-minute Hari Raya goodies or stuffing our faces in ketupat. Not celebrating Eid? Thankfully, the weekend’s filled with things to do, and trust us, there’s something for everyone, from the sporty and artsy to party animals among us.  There’s a pickleball rave, a silent disco party with dinos and a screenprinting exhibition. Elsewhere, hit up RASA for an evening of house and techno, or drop by Gardens by the Bay to experience Anime Garden. Here’s everything you should get up to in Singapore this weekend. RECOMMENDED: The best cycling trails in Singapore and The world’s best music festivals to go to in 2026

Finding great halal food in Singapore has never been easier. Gone are the days of sticking to just nasi padang and biryani – though, don’t worry, we’ve still got some legendary picks on this list. These days, the city is buzzing with Muslim-friendly spots dishing out everything from smoky American barbecue and fiery Xinjiang noodles to Cajun seafood boils and classic Italian fare. And whether you’re after a laid-back café, a lively group dining spot, or an upscale restaurant for a special night out, there’s something for every budget and occasion. So, grab your makan buddies and dive into our ultimate guide to the best halal restaurants and cafés in Singapore.

Ramadan season is a time for our Muslim friends to self-reflect as they evaluate and renew their spiritual habits and practices. At the same time, it’s one of the liveliest months ever in Singapore, with plenty of food and retail bazaars taking place ahead of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. But Ramadan bazaars aren’t just a shopping paradise; they’re a place where the community gathers and local traditions thrive. With so many bazaars happening across the city, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. We’ve done the honour of rounding up the ones you should check out, from the must-visits to the underrated gems. Here’s a mix of old favourites and neighbourhood picks, ranked with the best at the top of our list.

And just like that, December is upon us. Before you wrap the year up with a bang, pencil in these unmissable events in between all your holiday dinners and parties. Aside from all the Christmas markets to get your shopping done, there are also other non-festive activities to look forward to. There’s the opening of Dopamine Land at Resorts World Sentosa, the return of Comic Con and a special Kpop Demon Hunters pop-up. There’s also a homegrown music festival for a chance to broaden your playlist with local artists. Blink and December might fly by, so make your last days of 2025 count.  Here are the best things to check out this month in Singapore.

Just a short 10-minute boat ride away from Singapore, Pulau Ubin might not be the first place that comes to mind for a fun day out, given the lack of trendy cafés and thrilling activities. But that doesn’t mean the island is short on unique experiences. For those who are unfamiliar with Pulau Ubin, we’ve rounded up the best things to see and do on this underrated island.

Nothing's better than a cool drink in Singapore's tropical weather. Or how about a refreshing dip instead? When temperatures are high, take the kids out to cool down at these free aqua playgrounds around the island (though in one case, it's a steamy warm bath for the feet). We've checked out where to go for the best sprinklers, bubblers and water fountains that are great for kids (and adults). Best of all, they are all in public spaces and have absolutely no admission fees.  RECOMMENDED:  The best public pools in Singapore and The best indoor playgrounds in Singapore

Spending 24/7 in the thick of Singapore city life can take a toll. If planning a long trip sounds too tedious to you, then good news – we don't have to get on a plane for a quick respite because our island is itself surrounded by islands that offer a slower pace of life.  Hop on a boat to these offshore destinations and breathe in the fresh air. Set up camp – or a picnic mat if you don't intend to stay the night – and relive those kampong days. These uninhabited islands are ripe for exploration, just don't forget to slather on the mozzie repellant and sunscreen.  RECOMMENDED: The best hiking trails in Singapore and the best nature trails in Singapore

There's a time for trekking and conquering nature trails but there's also a time for sitting pretty and having a picnic – especially now that beaches are open once again. Forget fighting for a table in a hip cafe in the city too. When the weather's looking fine, it's time to pack some bites and look for a spot in one of the best parks in Singapore.  If you're not in the mood to put together a take-out feast, grab a gourmet picnic basket that comes pre-packed with all the tasty finger food you need. All you have to do is to place an order, swing by to collect and be on your way. We've rounded up some places that don't require you to travel to the middle of nowhere, have some shade, and most importantly, located near the toilets (but not too near).

While Singapore might be known for its towering skyscrapers and modern feats of architecture, there’s something charming about the city’s street art scene that gives it that bit of edge. These colourful works are often located in heritage-rich neighbourhoods like Little India, Joo Chiat, and Kampong Gelam, hidden away in the backstreets or covering the facade of old shophouses. The next time you’re out and about, go on a hunt for these street art murals before they’re painted over and gone forever. From the vibrant and bold to the subtle and understated, there’s something for every art lover – or aspiring Instagrammer looking to snap that perfect pic. RECOMMENDED: The best urban art trails in Singapore and the best contemporary art galleries in Singapore

From manoeuvring tricky slopes on Ubin's mountain biking trails to kayaking around the island and hiking up the rocky and steep Puaka Hill, there's lots of activities to get your heart-pumping among these natural terrains.

If you’ve been scrolling on #FoodTok long enough, then you probably recognise Anna Archibald and Kevin Serai. Born and raised on Oʻahu, Hawaii, they’re the Brooklyn-based power couple behind Cabagges World, an online platform where they share their comfort meal recipes, lifestyle and travel guides on their favourite cities. Their brand of content mostly revolves around vlogs that inspire others to create home-cooked dishes with ingredients you can easily find at home. For one day only, the pair are going from URL to IRL to hit up Tanchen Studios at Bukit Timah to bring you first dibs on Cabbages merch and exclusive collab pieces. While there won’t be any of Anna and Kevin’s popular cookbooks in stock, we hear there are baseball caps, reusable bags and other funky accessories that you can cop at the event. Rounding out the wholesome afternoon are Ugli Sabi and Dilly Deli, who will both serve up delish bites and beverages. Whether you’re coming down to rub shoulders with your favourite internet duo or just coming to hang out for some coffee, know that everyone’s invited.

Home decor pieces, funky ceramics and fashion accessories – there’s surely something that’s bound to catch your eye at Object.re’s two-day market.

Browse for sleek lifestyle pieces from Madspatial, or discover sophisticated scrunchies and bags from Aōmorie. If you appreciate more avant-garde items, then look toward World of Ode and Everyday Objects, who will also be there to set up shop. The former curates design-focused curios, while the latter’s collection of statement-making ceramic pieces will definitely add something special to your own dinnerware selections. Aside from all the shopping, Dying Trades SG will also be conducting a hands-on lesson in material exploration, processing and cording to give you a deeper insight into the objects they create. Then, on duty to keep you caffeinated throughout the day are the folks from Flip Coffee Roasters. Either quench your thirst with a cold brew or try one of their speciality coffees.

Temasek Polytechnic’s Music Vox is bringing its annual concert off campus and to SCAPE for the first time. Titled Echo, the showcase puts the spotlight on up-and-coming homegrown bands and artists from across the musical spectrum. Get ready to genre hop from indie to funk to post-hardcore. The two-hour concert also features a lineup of special guests. Expect live performances from local favourites and TPMV alumni Marian Carmel and Bakers in Space as they take to the stage with their best hits. But Echo is more than just an evening of performances – it’s also a gathering for like-minded individuals. Dive into booths from Singaporean creatives and support their businesses for exclusive swag. Or, if you’re an aspiring musician or artist yourself, it’s an opportunity to sync up and connect with others. Music Vox is a student-founded co-curricular activity at Temasek Polytechnic. The collective features musicians, songwriters and performers who create, record and stage original works, as well as covers.

Bangkok-based illustrator Nene, otherwise known as Nanthawan Jamsai, marks her first-ever solo Singapore exhibition at Heartware Store & Gallery with 555 MART. Aimed at capturing the humour and quirks of everyday items, the showcase features a series of playful illustrations inspired by staples at the convenience store. Think ramen cup noodles, bananas, probiotic drinks and other random objects Nene encountered during her trips to the shops. They’re all drawn in her distinctive art style, a striking combination of the ballpoint pen, neon risograph printing and meticulous observation. 555 MART also features exclusive, never-before-seen artworks that have been specially created for the exhibition, all of which are available for purchase. And in typical Heartware fashion, the gallery also gets a grocery-inspired glow-up, turning the exhibition into an immersive experience. Navigate the aisles or play pretend at the checkout counter. Then, don’t forget to leave with some souvenirs, too. Add to cart 555 MART’s exclusive merch line, which features everything from ‘stickgarettes’ sticker packs to essential t-shirts and mugs.

After five long months, the 2025 Singapore Biennale is officially coming to an end, and it’s wrapping things up with a final blowout at the Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. Held in collaboration with beans&beats, the celebration brings to life the theme of the Biennale: pure intention. At the party, you’re invited to dream out loud and not in silence. The agenda is to come as you are, live big and leave your thoughts and worries behind. The daytime party also brings beans&beats’ signature coffee clubbing experience to the gallery. The music lineup features DJs Ackerlady (BKK), BJZJ and WONNI as they each take turns turning the heat up on the dancefloor. Expect a curated mix of high-energy sets that move between experimental genres, groovy tunes and old-school selections. Each ticket also comes with a complimentary cup of coffee, so you can sip on Joe while basking in the beats and afternoon glow.

Would you like to play pickleball, have freshly brewed coffee and break out your best dance moves all at the same time? Well, now you can attend the first-ever Pickleball Coffee Rave hosted by Play! Pickle Serangoon. Plan out your Sunday with a high-energy morning on the court: you can choose between a coach-guided play if you’re a newbie to the sport, or a rotational open play session. If you’re just there to chill, Lume Coffee are there to keep you company with its caffeine-fueled beverage menu of black, white, mocha and chocolate. For a little snack, there are a variety of protein bars from Health Lab to munch on. Now, where does the raving part come in? Throughout the two-hour play session, the crew will be pumping out a playlist of bangers so you can serve and boogie at the same time. Then watch out for the 60-second “paddles up” rave breaks in between matches, where you can stop, wave your paddle in the air and vibe before diving back in. Each ticket includes a paddle and a pickleball, so if you don’t have your own, don’t sweat.

Science Centre Singapore is set to wrap up DINOSAURS | EXTINCTIONS | US with a big bang (no pun intended). The six-month-long showcase comes to an end with a one-night-only silent disco party where you can dance next to prehistoric creatures, including the colossal Patagotitan mayorum, AKA one of the largest dinosaurs known. That’s right, imagine belting out and boogieing to the latest pop and retro tunes under the 40-metre-long giant. Dancing aside, Dino Disco also gives you the chance to experience the exhibition in a new light. Trace the events that steered the course of planetary history through 33 rare fossils and 60 life-sized replicas of ancient titans. Part of the showcase is also dedicated to Singapore’s biodiversity challenges, featuring specimens of nationally extinct animals such as the cream-coloured giant squirrel and rufous-collared kingfisher. The party marks the first edition of the centre’s Sundown Science. This new after-dark series brings science, lifestyle and culture together for an immersive experience that’s equal parts fun and educational. Each ticket also includes a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage from Boujee Botanicals. There are only a limited number of tickets left, so grab yours quickly here.

This one’s not your average hotpot gathering, but you can expect it to be simmering with artistic flavour regardless. Berlin-based independent screenprint studio and publisher Le Raclet has teamed up with Chaos Gallery once again to bring the second edition of Le Raclet’s Hotpot. This time, the showcase presents works from more than five artists from around the world. Expect zany illustrations and vibrant, surreal pieces, all of which are printed and published by founder Bera herself. The best part? If you fancy any of the silkscreen posters, they’ll be up for sale so you can take your favourites home. Bera founded Le Raclet in 2007. The one-woman operated studio specialises in fine art and high-end silkscreen, and has collaborated with international artists, illustrators, designers, galleries and more to produce high-quality, hand-pulled screen prints over the years.

DOTT, one of Bangkok’s finest selectors, makes his way to RASA to bring his signature blend of woozy house and techno. Think trippy beats and elastic basslines that’ll make your head spin – in a good way. But more than just a DJ, DOTT is also the co-founder of More Rice, which grew from a record label into Thailand’s first-ever record store dedicated to electronic music. He shares the spotlight with Julie Marghilano, the founder of Sol Asylum Records in Berlin. Originally from Las Vegas, the DJ-producer is known for her eclectic selections, drawn from her expansive music library, which features dance music and beyond. Throughout her career, she’s played at several musical festivals across the globe, including residencies at the popular electronic music hotspots Club der Visionäre and Hoppetosse in Germany. Supporting the evening is Daryl Knows from Darker Than Wax. Meanwhile, Vinceshi and Zai take over Hall with soulful sets built around hip-hop, R&B and jazzy, neo-soul tunes. Entry for the night is free with the purchase of a drink.

Get your anime fix at Gardens by the Bay’s Anime Garden. The weekend festival, happening at the Supertree Grove and Flower Dome, is part of the Gardens’ annual Sakura exhibit, which displays a variety of cherry blossom species alongside landscapes inspired by Ishikawa’s heritage. At the Anime Garden, look forward to a marketplace offering F&B and merch, as well as a daytime entertainment stage featuring performances from rising local and Japanese acts. Plus, an anime event wouldn’t be complete without cosplay galore. Aside from competitions, there’s also an exclusive meet and greet with two global cosplay sensations. Get up close with Munoko from China and Thames Malerose from Thailand as they take part in photo sessions and autograph signings. Each night ends with a twilight concert at the Supertree Grove. Catch anisong stars like yanaginagi, Eir Aoi, KIHOW from MYTH & ROID and ZAQ as they perform theme songs from popular anime and other chart-topping J-pop hits against the backdrop of colourful giant trees.

If there’s one word to describe Stephanie Sykes’s music, it’s: hypnotic. The UK-born, Berlin-based techno star welcomes the weekend at Thugshop for a night of irresistible grooves and rhythm. Sykes has spent the past decade honing and refining an underground sound that’s gritty, raw and unmistakably her own. She’s played at legendary clubs like Berghain and Fabric, and even held residencies at electronic institutions such as Tresor, Atomic Jam, Adapt and Khid. You can expect nothing less from the DJ-producer. Highly regarded as an influential figure in Berlin’s techno circuit, she brings her hard-hitting selections for an immersive night of relentless, foot-stomping beats. The sweat-soaked energy continues throughout the evening with Meliah, Kevin Sy and sho&tell firing up the dancefloor.

  Tan Leong KitPhoto: Donn Tan Tan Leong Kit, 86Owner of ‘Y u so like that!’ drink stall How long have you been living in Ubin? I’ve been living here since 1989. What do you do every day on the island? I live on the island on weekdays and go back to Singapore on the weekends to stay with my family. While I’m in Ubin, I usually make sure I keep myself fit by either exercising or gardening, apart from taking care of the shop. I encounter different types of people every day, who come by the store, especially expats and tourists. Favourite part of Ubin? I enjoy every part of the island because the air is really clean here. Mdm Ng Ngak HengPhoto: Donn Tan Mdm Ng Ngak Heng, 67Owner of ‘Yak Hong’ food and drink stall How long have you been living in Ubin? I’ve been living on Ubin for 40 years now. What’s it like living in Ubin? Every day is a pretty easy life. Living here is stress-free. As you get older, it’s harder to find jobs, and Singapore can get really competitive. Shop rentals are high, too. I watch television programmes from time to time as I run the shop and attend to customers. However, business here isn’t too great and I still have to pay my shop’s $1,700 electricity bill each month. Favourite part of Ubin? [Laughs] My shop, lor.

It's a sad day for Inuka lovers. The beloved senior polar bear, who was born in the Singapore Zoo, had been suffering from old age illnesses and the wildlife park has announced that he has passed on peacefully this morning (Apr 25). Inuka had lived up to 27 years old. The zoo has made its official statement in the following Facebook post: Farewell Inuka, you will be missed. RIP.

Unless you've been living under a rock, then you've probably already heard about Hollywood's upcoming summer rom-com Crazy Rich Asians. Based on Singaporean author Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a woman who travels to Singapore to meet with her boyfriend's family for the very first time – and they're nothing like what she expects them to be. Starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, the movie takes a peek into the extra lavish and glitzy lives of, well, crazy rich Asians. And it's just dropped its latest trailer. The cast and crew were seen filming here last June, so we weren't surprised to see the clip peppered with glamorous shots of the city. We put our skills to the test and try to spot and guess the iconic landmarks and familiar streets featured: 1) The Merlion Screenshot via YouTube 2) Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum and the Singapore Flyer Screenshot via YouTube 3) East Coast Parkway Screenshot via YouTube 4) Bukit Pasoh Road Screenshot via YouTube 5) Gardens by the Bay Screenshot via YouTube 6) Chijmes Screenshot via YouTube 7) Newton Food Centre Screenshot via YouTube 8) Marina Bay Sands (again) Screenshot via YouTube 9) Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands Screenshot via YouTube You can watch the trailer below and see if we missed any!  Are you excited for Crazy Rich Asians?

Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with Willy Tan of content agency Aging Youth, which specialises in talent management and music publishing, to talk about the local music scene and his favourite homegrown heroes. What gets you excited about Singapore? I don’t think there’s just one singular thing that gets me excited. It’s the place where I grew up – my family and friends are here. There are always things to do and places to hang out. In fact, sometimes, there might be too many events to go to, but I think that's actually a good problem. #PassionMadePossible! Where’s your favourite place to listen to live music in Singapore? I’ve always loved Fort Canning Green as a venue. It’s spacious and the best part, no one gets in your face too much. Plus it's got a gentle slope, so everyone gets a decent view of the stage.  What are your thoughts on the current local music scene?  I guess technology pushed the music discovery process, allowing more Singaporeans to gain faster and get easier access to new music content. The underground and indie kids will remain the same. They will be there to support their friends and the acts they like. When they grow older with different responsibilities in life, they move on and the next generation of

Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with homegrown director Kirsten Tan – best known for her phenomenal work Pop Aye (it also made it on our list for best Singaporean movies of 2017!) – on what the local film community is like and her collaboration with the upcoming Swedish Film Festival that's happening from April 12 to 15. What gets you excited about Singapore? The buzz and dynamism of 24-hour back-alley kopitiams where real life happens, outlierswho go against the grain of this conformist society and Tai Hwa bak chor mee! What should moviegoers and film lovers check out in Singapore? Firstly, there's Asian Film Archives. What I like about the organisation is that they are not influenced by market forces, which allows their film and art programming to be more esoteric. There's also The Projector – I really like the space it occupies between mainstream and arthouse. It functions almost as tastemakers, a diving board for Singaporean audiences to experience a broader range of cinema. Lastly, of course, is Singapore International Film Festival. The annual SGIFF has grown into such an important regional film festival and it always offers an amazing selection of movies, with something for everyone. Recommend 3 Singaporean movies made by f

It's probably too early to be discussing anything Halloween-related right now, but fans of Stranger Things would wanna scooch a lil closer. Universal Studios Singapore is partnering with Netflix for the first time to bring to life the award-winning supernatural television series at this year's edition of the scare festival. Make like Mike, Eleven and the gang as you walk through the Hawkins National Laboratory, the Byers' living room and, of course, the hair-raising Upside Down. Oh, and we hear the Demogorgon will be lurking around too – but keep those slingshots (or wrist-rockets) in your pockets, please. For a sneak peek of what's gonna go down this Halloween, check out the video below. Halloween Horror Nights return to Resorts World Sentosa from Sep 28 to Oct 31. Stay updated on its website.
