The ultimate guide to Pulau Ubin

The ultimate guide to Pulau Ubin

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 cafĂ©s 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.

The best free water parks in Singapore

The best free water parks in Singapore

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
The best offshore islands in Singapore to escape to

The best offshore islands in Singapore to escape to

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
The best spots for a picnic in Singapore

The best spots for a picnic 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).

Step into a world where chocolate rivers are real and not a fantasy. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is brought to life once again in this musical adaptation, which puts a whimsical theatrical spin on the beloved Roald Dahl classic. If you aren’t familiar with the story already, here’s the gist: the story follows a boy, Charlie Bucket, who receives a Golden Ticket to visit the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka’s fantastical candy empire alongside several other children. However, there’s more to the factory than meets the eye, where every room hides mysterious inventions and strange surprises. Sugary chaos ensues, and what happens after, you’ll have to watch for yourself. Featuring iconic songs from the original 1971 film and brand-new numbers, this stage production offers an immersive storytelling experience with unforgettable moments. And to make things extra sweet and delicious? Hundreds of Golden Tickets, which you can use to claim exclusive deals and treats, will be hidden beneath seats in the theatre throughout the show’s run.

Dream in Peony Pavilion

Dream in Peony Pavilion

Based on the Ming dynasty masterpiece, The Peony Pavilion, Dream in Peony Pavilion reimagines the timeless romantic tale by incorporating traditional Chinese opera movements with a sweeping and opulent production. The story follows a woman who falls in love with a young scholar – but the twist? It was all in her dreams. Only when she dies after years of yearning, he discovers her self-portrait and embarks on a fantastical journey of eternal love. The production stars six principal dancers and a 30-strong cast from Suzhou Song and Dance Theatre, weaving duets and a series of mesmerising ensemble dances. It features the choreographic work of Li Xing, an acclaimed figure in both contemporary and classical Chinese dance, who is known for hits like A Dream of Red Mansions.

The glamourous trailer for Crazy Rich Asians is here – and we try to spot all the Singapore landmarks

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?

52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG: Week 10 with Willy Tan

52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG: Week 10 with Willy Tan

Welcome to Time Out Singapore's 52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG – our commitment to showing you the best of what's going on in the city this week. 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

52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG: Week 8 with Kirsten Tan

Welcome to Time Out Singapore's 52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG – our commitment to showing you the best of what's going on in the city this week.

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.
