Hitting the mid-May mark and feeling like you need yet another break? Here are some fun, recreational events that’ll take your mind off till June comes.
Embark On A F0od Journey Of Epic Proportions
We’d think most Singaporeans would agree that the best local foods are not found in restaurants, but in our hawker centres. For the four Saturdays in May, join local guide Joanne as she brings you to savour piping hot dishes from hawker stalls mentioned in the 2016 Michelin Food Guide. And while another one of Singaporeans’ favourite pastimes is to queue, all you’ll have to do here is just to sit at your table with your cutlery in hand while waiting for the food to be served to you – win!
