Go prawning, virtual track racing, do your own photoshoot and more
Don’t remember the last time you were out all day doing fun things with people you love? Make a date for a day out at the centrally located Bugis+ in town. With so many interesting shops, restaurants and experiences you can try out in one place, we won’t blame you for spending the entire day here.
The first meal of the day is the most important so have your fill at the cha chaan teng-style Xin Wang Hong Kong Café. Tuck into its signature thick toast like Honey Butter French Toast, its Daily Set C which is two pan-fried eggs and luncheon meat with crispy rugby bun served with hot kopi or teh, or the popular Luncheon Meat & Egg Soup Nissin Noodle. Don’t forget to wash it down with some HK Milk Tea before you begin your day at Bugis+.

Now that you’re all fuelled up, put on your best game face for some competitive fun at entertainment centre, Paco FunWorld. Luck out on a claw machine for a cute plush toy or roll up your sleeves and get your game on for the other arcade and carnival games. Before you leave, remember to collect your prizes and winnings for the day!

After a hectic session at the arcade, settle down for lunch at Aburi Kaisen Don Keisuke. You can look forward to having a mountain of both fresh and raw seafood as well as smoky aburi seafood over rice. For extra flavour, try the signature Ochazuke set where diners can choose between lobster or dashi soup to pour over their leftover aburi kaisen don.

Life can be tough so here’s your pass to escape from the real world for an hour (or more) and explore fantastical worlds through gaming and e-sports. Start a racing session with friends and compete (virtually) on a race track or pick a hero and defend your fortress in a game of DOTA.

Emerge from your gaming dungeon and freshen up with a cold snack from Yolé. Indulge in a cup of frozen yoghurt (choose from a variety of flavours) and top it off with your favourite fruits, sweet and crunchy toppings and even sauces.

If you’re feeling weary from all the fun all day, don’t let it show just yet. After a refreshing cold dessert, now it’s time to freshen up your look. Head to Sephora for some lippie that would add a pop of colour to your face or glow up with some bronzy highlighter for a sunkissed look. And just before you head off, sneak a spritz of your favourite perfume from the store.

Looking your best, now head to the biggest self-photo studio Photomania for a mini photoshoot. The best part is that you have full control of your 15 minutes of fame. Packages start from $30 and you get access to a studio of your choice where you can shoot a vibrant colour photo or go vintage with a black and white portrait. Up the fun and play around with the props and costumes available at the studio.

Perfect for any sort of weather and day, a hot pot meal always satisfies. Especially if the service is going to be excellent. From the flavourful broths to the fresh quality ingredients, a hot pot experience at Haidilao Hot Pot is the perfect meal to have after a long day. Bonus points if it is a special day for you or your friends – you might just witness the most extravagant birthday greeting here.

Now that you have had so much fun and don’t want the day to end just yet. Well, it doesn’t have to. Prolong the fun day out with everyone’s favourite late-night pastime (besides supper): prawning. Head up to the rooftop to spend the night chatting with friends, chopping up worms (or recoiling in horror/disgust while others do it), cracking open a cold one, and even barbecuing some freshly caught prawns. The joint stays open till 6am so trust us, you’ll get the munchies sooner or later.
