The best things to do in Singapore this week (Apr 15-21)

The largest and most famous night market in Taiwan comes to Singapore over two weekends. Set at The Grounds@Kranji at Singapore Turf Club, expect to see the glorious food from the original market and also a cluster of stalls featuring products from makers and creators from Singapore and around the region. Keep your night extra busy with arcade games, KTV booths, live music performances as well as stunning lantern installations.

Tulipmania returns to the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay. This time, the exhibition takes on a brand-new display set in an idyllic pastoral landscape. It features over 35 varieties of tulips, including the Yellow Flight and red and white Singapura. Complementing this is a European-themed fair that runs from 12 to 21 April in Flower Field Hall. Enjoy a slice of Europe with unique Dutch food, like Bitterballen - a savoury Dutch snack made of meat, broth, butter and flavour; and Olliebollen, a traditional Dutch doughnut, as well as cultural performances and fun activities. 

Reflect the shared humanity underneath everyone’s differences at this sacred music showcase which looks at fundamental human expressions like joy and sorrow, darkness and light, good and evil. Soak in the rich diversity of cultural expressions, too, featuring a first-ever performance held literally in darkness in the Esplanade Concert Hall.

Summerlong is making traditional Easter even more egg-citing with an egg hunt. Kids can track down and collect eggs that contain the letters E, A, S, T, E, R, and head over to the arts and crafts area for painting and decorating eggs. While the kids are kept occupied with these activities, adults can enjoy the exclusive brunch spread prepared, featuring tasty treats like hot cross buns. 

Hop your way to the famed Australian craft brewer, Little Creatures, this Easter. Look forward to fun-filled activities for all – think Jenga, Easter egg painting and egg hunts for the kids, and live entertainment including a DJ set filled with bangin' tunes to keep the spirits high throughout the night. This brew-restaurant is also serving up its signature menu, featuring a succulent roast platter for four ($65) alongside the good old-fashioned Aussie sausage sizzle from noon onwards, and freshly-baked hot cross buns throughout the day.  

Celebrate Easter with an Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired adventure at Melt Café. This spread includes fresh greens and seafood like Boston lobsters and tiger prawns, succulent meats like wagyu beef tomahawk, Japanese and Indian cuisines featuring quality sashimi, sushi and maki, as well as tandoori, kebabs and curries, and dessert options like yuzu strawberry mousse and chocolate pudding studded with azuki red beans. Activities like The Golden Egg Hunt and face painting will keep the kids and fam entertained. Price: From $168 per person (with chilled juices and soft drinks), $218 per person (for unlimited flow of "R" de Ruinart champagne, wines, beers, chilled juices and soft drinks), $268 per person (for unlimited flow of Ruinart Blanc De Blancs champagne, wines, beers, chilled juices and soft drinks)

Bring the fam to The Marmalade Pantry’s Easter-themed buffet and feast on signatures like the marmalade mac and cheese, spicy crabmeat pasta, pancakes, truffle fries and more. The kids will be treated to an extensive dessert table and fun activities like balloon sculpting, face painting and a magic show.

Raise a toast to 50 years of diplomatic ties between Singapore and Poland with a line-up of family-friendly activities and promos. The festival kicks off with the Polish Weekend @ OTH from April 12 to 14 at Our Tampines Hub. Bring the whole fam down for colourful Polish folk dances, free movie screening of award-winning Breaking the Limits, cultural performances, nifty craft workshops, family-friendly recreational fun and an exceptional Polish Market showcasing traditional Polish food, eco-beauty products, amber and natural stone jewellery, crafts and many more.

Stand up to sexual harassment and pay to homage to women across the globe with #DontTellMeHowToDress. What started as an initiative spearheaded by Thai supermodel-actress and survivor of sexual harassment Cindy Sirinya Bishop in Thailand has now made rounds in the region including the Philippines and now Singapore. With the support of the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) and its Aim for Zero campaign, as well as the UN Women network organisation and Beam Artistes, the thought-provoking exhibition explores victim-blaming for gender-based violence and showcases how sexual violence takes victims regardless of how they act or dress. Local celebs have also pledged their support for the project. These include host Paul Foster, co-founder of Night Owl Cinematics Sylvia Chan, drag queen Becca D'Bus, actress Eunice Olsen and radio DJ Sonia Chew.

Changi Airport is about to get whimsical. See the world's best airport transform into the riotously colourful world of tokidoki. Great for the entire fam, kids can run riot at the giant inflatable playground decked with the world's largest Unicorno slide. There's also the first-ever show flat adorned with all things tokidoki, limited edition merch to collect and exclusive meet-and-greet-sessions with two adorable tokidoki characters, Sandy and Donutella.

How well do you really know about Sir Stamford Raffles? Delve deeper into life of the founder of modern Singapore at the Asian Civilisations Museum. Pore over 240 objects from the Raffles Collection from the British Museum – a glimpse of Southeast Asian history that most intrigued Raffles and the British.

Journey further into Southeast Asia – past and present – as the Asian Civilisations Museum opens three new permanent galleries Ancestors and Rituals, Christian Art and Islamic Art, along with new items on display in the museum's Trade galleries that explore the artistic exchanges within Asia and the rest of the world. The Ancestors and Rituals gallery shines its spotlight on a diverse range of Southeast Asian artefacts that reflect the barter of ideas and cultural interactions among various tribes and communities in the region. The Christian Art gallery exhibits intricate works of cross-cultural art created in Asia that are dedicated to the religion.  The Islamic Art showcases the wealth of artistic traditions that arise from the expansion of Islam in Southeast Asia. As part of Southeast Asia in the World, the museum is also hosting a new series of trails that provide visitors an understanding of Southeast Asia's role in the world through beautiful illustrations by local artist Muneera Malek.
