So Chic’s French Gastronomy Weeks programme, part of vOilah! 2020 While the vOilah! France Singapore Festival only comes around once a year, that certainly doesn’t mean that there’s any shortage of French activities, food and shopping to be done for the remaining 11 months. If you ever get a hankering for the fashion of Paris or the wines of Bordeaux, then do yourself a favour … Continue reading vOilah! 2020: Catching up with French Shopping and Dining guide So Chic

Television Time: An Interview with Paul Hollywood on visiting Japan for the first time

It’s hard to believe that Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood has visited places as far flung as Iceland and gone on cross-content trips across America, but has never before stepped foot in Asia. At least, until he became the host and star of BBC Lifestyle’s latest series Paul Hollywood Eats Japan, where the television personality gets up close and personal with the land of the rising … Continue reading Television Time: An Interview with Paul Hollywood on visiting Japan for the first time

The Banter: It takes a village, as Wild Rice prepares to reopen

It’s been about seven months since performing arts came to a grinding halt, thanks to the safety restrictions implemented for the pandemic. But this November, following several rounds of live performance pilots, companies are more than ready to return to theatres, with several live shows slated in the weeks to come. And if it’s one company that anyone should be looking forward to seeing again, … Continue reading The Banter: It takes a village, as Wild Rice prepares to reopen

The Banter: An Interview with the cast of SRT’s Tuesdays with Morrie

With the restrictive circuit breaker measures, it’s been far too long since members of the public have been allowed to step into a theatre.

The Banter: An interview with rising pop star Jannine Weigel on new single ‘Passcode’ and working with RedRecords

It’s never an easy feat getting a record label off the ground, but for RedRecords, a new joint venture between AirAsia and Universal Music Group, they seem to have hit upon a real winner with the very first artist they’ve signed: Thai-German artist Jannine Weigel. Born in the small town of Steinfurt, Germany, Jannine moved to Thailand when she was just 10. As a teenager, … Continue reading The Banter: An interview with rising pop star Jannine Weigel on new single ‘Passcode’ and working with RedRecords

Review: Waiting For The Host by Pangdemonium

Zoom becomes an unlikely medium for hope and solace in this timely, reflective comedy-drama. While we’ve watched a number of performances on Zoom already, no play has tackled the medium quite as directly as Pangdemonium has, with their production of Marc Palmieri’s Waiting For The Host. Conceived when he participated in a recording of a Passion Play for his local church, Palmieri’s script is one of the … Continue reading Review: Waiting For The Host by Pangdemonium

The Banter: Tracie and Adrian Pang talk about Pangdemonium in a pandemic

With the work from home and circuit breaker measures in place over the last few months, most of us are already familiar with dragging ourselves out of bed to attend the next Zoom meeting, only to find ourselves ‘waiting for the host’, bemoaning how we could have slept in just a little more. It’s no wonder then that it’s already the subject (and title) of … Continue reading The Banter: Tracie and Adrian Pang talk about Pangdemonium in a pandemic

Television Time: An Interview with Tom Hollander, star of David Nicholls’ ‘Us’ on BBC

A screenwriter by profession, it makes sense that author David Nicholls would be the one to adapt his own novel for the screen, something he’d previously done with the film One Day in 2011. Now, he’s back again with an adaptation of his Man Booker longlisted novel Us as a television miniseries for the BBC. But where One Day was about the beginning ‘will they, won’t they’ of a budding … Continue reading Television Time: An Interview with Tom Hollander, star of David Nicholls’ ‘Us’ on BBC

Television Time: An Interview with Sophie Rundle, star of BBC’s The Nest

What does the perfect family look like? On BBC’s new drama The Nest, Emily and Dan Docherty, seem to have exactly that, as a happy couple living together in a huge house in a beautiful location just outside Glasgow. Except for one thing – a baby, something they’ve tried for years, with no success. When they meet 18-year old Kaya quite by chance though, they … Continue reading Television Time: An Interview with Sophie Rundle, star of BBC’s The Nest
