How to unleash your inner Barbie in Singapore

While you can’t cash out real money, you most definitely can bank on some comfort food and drinks served at this hidden burger bar. Better known as The Bank, this 80s-inspired, neon-lit American diner is all about the burgers, shakes and craft beers. Take your pick of the signature cheeseburger (from $18.80), the extra-large fried chicken sandwich (from $18), or the grilled portobello burger (from $18). Shake things up with a pink strawberry milkshake ($12.50), or Baileys-flavoured one ($17) if you're feeling naughty. For imbibers, the bar also stocks an impressive 12-beer tap list, pouring esoteric hopbomb IPAs, sour-salty goses and proper heavy stouts.

Live out your Malibu Barbie dream at Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena's poolside bar. Located on level 33, Las Palmas' poolside feature and pink decor take inspiration from Palm Springs and downtown LA. The panoramic view of the city skyline also makes for a stunning backdrop for cocktails with the girlies. Or Ken. Treat yourself to a fruity cocktail like Coachella Dreaming ($28), a creamy blend like Pink Squirrel ($20), or the chocolate-infused sipper L.A. And ladies, get up to 40% off your drink bill when you reserve a spot at its Women-Out Wednesday event.

Indulge in a pink soft serve fantasy at the sister museum of New York City’s iconic Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC). The brainchild of “Millennial Walt Disney” (well, according to New York Magazine) Maryellis Bunn, the playground-meets-art installation features 14 picture-perfect attractions and free-flow ice cream, making it a huge hit with the Instagram and Tik Tok generation. So grab all your Barbie friends (and your very own Midge), and make a quick dive into the largest MOIC Sprinkle Pool ever before treating yourself to the local flavours of pulut hitam ice cream and taro milk tea ice cream sandwich.

While you explore the corners of Labrador Nature Reserve, make your way to the Berlayer Creek Broadwalk for the Berlayar Beacon. Okay, the striking, brick-red centrepiece looks something out of a Wes Anderson film (Asteroid City is currently in cinemas) but hear us out: it is passable for pink on photos and makes for a stunning backdrop. Pro tip: strike a pose and snap a photo at sunset for that Barbie Malibu vibe.
