We. Want. You.

It’s the weekend and you’re out at the same old place with your friends. Maybe it’s pub-crawling with your best mates, or maybe it’s having a quick round of office gossip with your colleagues at a café. But one thing’s for sure – it’s the weekend, and weekends are made for celebration. Hollywood After Hours at Universal Studios Singapore® is giving you a new place and new reasons to celebrate. We show you four ways to rock out every Saturday night.

RWS Invites Durian Fest at the Coliseum

Remember the Durian Extravaganza that we blogged about? Well, 27 July saw the congregation of  hundreds of durian fanatics  at the Coliseum, Hard Rock Hotel® Singapore for the durian feast. And boy was it a sight to behold.

With scorching weather and humidity levels peaking at 94%, wouldn’t you wish for a quick getaway to cool down and refresh? (We know we would). And for those who dread the long drive to Malaysia or the bumpy ride on the rough seas, we have a solution that’s just a bridge away. What better way to wind down and relax than to immerse yourself in the lush greenery and the calm serenity of Equarius Hotel at Resort World Sentosa. Here are 3 reasons to stay at Equarius Hotel this August and September.

[INSIGHTS] RWS Invites’ 1 Dish 2 Wines: A visual guide

One Dish Two Wines RWS Invites August promotion

Come August, five of our restaurants – namely Osia, Forest 森, Feng Shui Inn, Palio and Starz – will be featuring a One Dish, Two Wines promotion. It is exactly what you think it is – a pairing of two wines to a signature dish from each of these establishments. To non wine connoisseurs, wines might be mistaken as mere food accompaniments. But wines are more than that; they can alter and add a whole new dimension to your meal.

We decided to break down the wines featured in the One Dish, Two Wines promotion, so that you’ll have a deeper appreciation of that glass you’ll be sipping. Make that two glasses.

[INSIGHTS] My first experience in ESPA at RWS

Hammam at RWS

I love massages and have tried a few spa treatments, but never in a spa as famous as ESPA. And since I got to know that ESPA at RWS has Japanese-inspired outdoor onsen pools, I’d been waiting for an opportunity to experience them as well as the first-in-Singapore “Indulgence Hammam Ritual”. I trooped down with a friend to find out just how good the global leader in spa is.

[NEWS] The New Tree Top Lofts

When I first heard about the Tree Top Lofts, I immediately imagined the hastily put-together, slightly ramshackle tree houses of early childhood stories. Of course I knew this wouldn’t be the case; after all, the Lofts are set to deliver a 5-star “back to nature” experience. And while there is something charming about climbing onto a rickety tree house (complete with ladders made of leftover planks) the real Lofts blew all thoughts of shabby versions right out of the water.

Mention Perth and you’ll get polarised reactions. It’s either the “Ooh, love the climate” or “What a boring place” response. But when it comes to food, most don’t do a second take. Singaporeans love the free-spirited, effortless, clean flavours of Australia-inspired cuisine.
