The Islamic holy month of Ramadan sees Muslims around the world (except the sick, elderly, pregnant or menstruating) abstain from eating and drinking from dawn until dusk. These are all done while practising charitable deeds and acts of compassion as fasting doubles as a reminder of the sufferings faced by the less fortunate.  To mark the end of the fasting month, Muslims celebrate the festival of Eid al-Fitr, also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa in Singapore on March 31, 2025. Besides a massive feast (home-cooked or delivered), the religious holiday is a time for forgiveness and making amends.  RECOMMENDED: The best hotels in Singapore with halal-certified buffets and local Muslim-friendly brands in Singapore

If you've ever wondered what it's like to tumble down the Rabbit Hole, Wonderland Upside Down by ANDSOFORTH is here to make that fantasy a very trippy reality. And yes, that includes things I never thought I’d willingly eat like toothpaste, mouthwash, and cat food. But more on that later.   Photograph: ANDSOFORTH   In celebration of its 10th anniversary this year, the award-winning immersive theatrical dining company has created an experience that’s part dinner party, part fever dream, and entirely unlike your childhood memories of Alice in Wonderland. Instead of a waistcoat-wearing White Rabbit or the quirky Mad Hatter, you’ll meet the real people who inspired Lewis Carroll’s eccentric characters. But things aren’t always as it seems. The adventure begins at The Hatter’s Asylum, a hat shop where I was handed a welcome drink and a fun little DIY project. As I crafted away, orchestral covers of pop bangers played in the background – think Bridgerton, but delightfully unhinged. Then, it was time to tumble deeper into the Rabbit Hole.   Photograph: Cam Khalid   Every room was a new surprise, from stunning set designs including a massive animatronic black cat to the wildly entertaining cast who weren’t afraid to roast us guests. The five-course dinner was just as theatrical – one moment I was slurping a rich Chinese-style soup, the next, digging into a fragrant Indian chicken korma. Then came the curveballs: salmon-based cat food, cream cheese toothpaste with crackers, and a

After six long years, World Class – the globe’s largest and most prestigious cocktail competition – is finally back in Singapore. Come 2025, Singapore’s top bartenders will mix, muddle, and shake their way through intense challenges, culminating in the country showdown in June. The Singapore winner will then represent us at the global finals in Toronto in September. Since its inception in 2009, World Class has been transforming bartending careers and elevating cocktail culture around the world. We witnessed this first-hand at the 2024 World Class finals in Shanghai, where Southeast Asia’s up-and-coming bartenders stood toe to toe with their peers from across the globe, sharing ideas, stories and local ingredients on the world stage. Bali’s Aris Sanjaya of Syrco Basè delivered an outstanding performance, securing an impressive second place behind the champion, Keegan McGregor from Canada. And when World Class last had a representative from Singapore back in 2019, she ended up winning the whole shebang.

From November 29 to January 1, the theme park is decking the halls for the return of A Universal Christmas. In celebration of Universal Pictures’ highly anticipated film Wicked, in cinemas now, the New York zone has been transformed into the Emerald City with gorgeous sets inspired by the film.

At The Emerald Beautification Salon, you can choose a Glinda or Elphaba-inspired makeover including two services – face painting, hair styling, or nail art – for $30. You can also enjoy a 20 percent discount on the makeover package (excluding add-on services) when you book the Universal Studios Singapore Christmas Package (from $80 for an adult and $65 for a child) which includes admission, a set meal, and a $5 USS retail voucher with a minimum spend of $60.
