4 reasons why you should visit Marina Bay Sands this Chinese New Year

There’s nothing like good food to bring people together – no matter how big the group. Give your reunion dinner a British twist at Bread Street Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay. Dig into a whole roasted Dingley Dell pork rack with slow-cooked pork belly on the bone and braised pork knuckle ($128), spicy fish consommé with prawn dumpling ($18) and more.

Lovebirds, cosy up at the Hearts and Wines Valentine’s Day party at Adrift by David Myers where you’re treated to a sumptuous seafood buffet dinner (from $98) featuring the freshest Alaskan king crab legs and Hokkaido sea urchin among other decadent delights.

For something more casual, hit up Black Tap for its signature burger and CrazyShakes. Embracing the month’s significant events, the joint has concocted a Chinese New Year Shake (from $22), featuring an almond cookie shake with a vanilla frosted rim finished with gold and red sprinkles and a Red Velvet Cake Shake (from $22). Indulge in a towering glass of red velvet cake batter shake complete with a slice of red velvet cake from the famous Magnolia Bakery.

Haven’t picked out an outfit for Lunar New Year or that hot date? Thanks to Marina Bay Sand’s extended shopping hours, you can take your time picking out the perfect outfit (and accessories) for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day.

The Shoppes are packed with a hip selection of boutiques
like Bimba Y Lola, Club Monaco, Maje and more. Watch relatives do a double take when you visit and relish in the compliments from your date. Look out for Marina Bay Sand’s ambassadors to get a fortune cookie by simply following @TheShoppesMBS on Instagram – a couple of lucky shoppers might go home with extra perks.

Explore the ArtScience Museum for a heady dose of moving visuals at the Future World exhibition. The science enthusiast might want to explore All Possible Paths: Richard Feynman’s Curious Life, which marks the centenary of the influential physicist of the 20th century, known for his work in quantum mechanics.

Like thought-provoking pieces? The much-hyped Minimalism: Space. Light. Object exhibition is worth checking out with its mind-boggling, elegant and abstract installations.
