Gentle Bones, aka Joel Tan is just 22 years old, and he’s already managed to have two sold out shows at the Esplanade (when Les Miserables is playing next door!) It’s impressive, to say the least, how many fans he’s garnered over the past 4 years he’s been active since he first released his hit single ‘Until We Die’. Since that first song, he’s been … Continue reading REVIEW: Gentle Bones 10/6/16
Following the success of Manifesto, the Necessary Stage returns to present Ghost Writer, a multimedia performance that seamlessly combines dance, theatre, music and videography to create a rich visual and sensual experience. Ghost Writer takes inspiration from Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, drawing on both his work and life. It’s difficult to sum up what exactly Ghost Writer is about, considering its nature as a piece of almost abstract physical theatre. Ghost … Continue reading REVIEW: Ghost Writer by The Necessary Stage [9/6/16]
Churn Creamery 4th June 2016 Churn has been open for about 9 months now, and this is the first time we decided to drop by. Some photos of their ‘puffones’ have been floating around the Internet, and we’re suckers for interesting revolutions in dessert (or just suckers for dessert in general) Considering that Tanjong Pagar is now home to countless bingsu places, it’s nice to … Continue reading An Insight to Churn Creamery
Falling 28/5/16 8pm Pangdemonium returns for their second show of the season with another play about disabilities, following hot on the heels of last year’s Tribes.

Primary caregiver and mother Tami (Tan Kheng Hua) spends most of her day … Continue reading Review: Falling by Pangdemonium
It’s 2016, and countries across the world are celebrating the Bard’s 400th birthday. Singapore is no different, and SRT has decided to celebrate with a performance of Romeo and Juliet for this year’s edition of their highly acclaimed annual Shakespeare in the Park. We attended this year’s edition of Shakespeare In The Park on opening night, and SRT has delivered the goods once again with … Continue reading Romeo and Juliet by SRT (27/4/16)
From the brainchild of the people behind ramen joint Shoryu comes an all new dining experience – UDON. Udon isn’t the usual choice of noodles for most people when thinking of Japanese fare, mostly because ramen tends to have more flavour and more meat (and who doesn’t like meat?) Udon tends to be the ‘healthier option”. I came by here during the soft launch where … Continue reading My Experience at Ichiryu
ICEHOTEL – Jukkasjärvi, Swedish Laplands. 18th-20th December 2015 In the far north of Sweden, you’ll find the town of Jukkasjärvi. What’s Jukkasjärvi got going for it then? Not much, except for the world’s first hotel made entirely out of ice! The ICEHOTEL was founded in 1989 and has slowly been gaining traction as one of those must see places. Every year, the hotel is built … Continue reading Ice Hotel – Kiruna – Jukkasjärvi
Hand To God – 8th February 2016 – Vaudeville Theatre. If you thought Avenue Q took naughty puppets to the limit, then you obviously haven’t caught Hand to God, which makes its onstage puppet shenanigans look tame by comparison. That’s right, this play features even more graphic puppet mayhem, swearing and isn’t afraid to ask the difficult questions about religion. First things first, we were … Continue reading Hand To God
Galley 31/1/16 From the Randall and Aubin’s ex head chef Marcel Grzyb and sister Oriona Robb comes an all new seafood dining experience in the form of Galley. From the outside, Galley already looks warm and friendly, with a bustling, fervent energy that washes over you from the moment you step in, packed to the very brim with waiters and hungry diners. The tables are … Continue reading Galley London
Second visit to Meatliquor and decided to have food at the original outlet. We went during the five year anniversary where everything was 50% off (absolutely mad, and our wallets felt all the better for it). I ordered a Dead Hippie Burger (my favourite) and we decided to share a garbage plate.
It’s not a plate of garbage – it’s a huge plate of chips, caramelized onions, a patty, and barbecue sauce. And it was GOOD. The patties in both burger and plate were dripping with juice as usual, and my friend wanted to go back to MEATliquor again just for the garbage plate (she hates burger buns and loves chips).
They played some great music as well, and while some may feel uncomfortable in the darkness, I loved it to bits and am ready to eat more meat. Very friendly waiter as well who was nice and pretty prompt.
