Illumination’s Minion Land is finally officially open at Universal Studios Singapore (admin is literally shaking in her boots right now).

Minion Land in USS features all-new attractions with multiple Minions-inspired roller coasters, USS-exclusive Minions carousel, themed retail and dining experiences and so much more!

True Despicable Me fans will find this name — Super Silly Fun Land — very familiar.

For the uninitiated, it’s the iconic seaside carnival from the movie. Well, you are now able to experience the same fun that Gru, Minions and the girls had in the movie too! Honestly, it looks incredible.

The carnival will feature the Buggie Boogie which is the first-ever Minion dance party-themed carousel. The ride will have you seated in a fleet of space bugs and silly creatures, boogie-ing to popular hits, remixed by the Minions themselves.

Here, you’ll also find the Silly Swirly ride where you’ll hop into quirkily-styled vehicles and soar into the skies.

If you successfully keep your eyes open throughout the ride, you’ll be able to catch magnificent views of the lagoon and the vibrant Super Silly Fun Land, you definitely don’t wanna miss that! 

And, make sure to hold onto your seats tightly, okay?

Here, they have two game booths.

In true Minion fashion, they have something banana-related here like the Ba-Na-Na CaBaNa! This game is bananas — B-A-N-A-N-A-S — and that’s all we will say about the game. 

But, of course, you simply can’t bring up Super Silly Fun Land without mentioning the iconic scene where Agnes goes absolutely berserk over the fluffy unicorn soft toy.

The Space Killer game is modelled after the “Super Silly Space Killer” arcade game seen in the movie. And yes, you can try your hand at this game and win Agnes’s fluffy plush unicorn with each attempt priced at S$8. 

Other attractions within the Super Silly Fun Land include the Super Hungry Food Stand, featuring minion-themed snacks as seen in the movie starting from S$6, and Pop-A-Nana for exclusive popcorn flavours at S$10.

While you’re there, keep an eye out for popular characters like Gru, Lucy Wilde, and the fan-favourite minions roaming around for photos!

And, is it really Minion Land if it doesn’t have Gru’s Neighbourhood?

You’ll finally be able to see Gru’s purple house in person and maybe even explore his underground lab! 

Inside the house, you’ll also be able to enjoy the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem — an immersive motion simulator ride that brings you on an unpredictable ride through Gru’s supervillain laboratory. Gru, the girls, and the mischievous Minions will also be joining you on this adventure.

Make sure you end your day at the Minion Marketplace where you’ll be able to shop for fun and exclusive Minions merch at places like the Pop Store, Fun Store, and more! 

I can’t wait to relive my childhood with this.

Ticket prices start from S$62 for children and S$83 for adults. And, you can book your tickets here.

This year, if you’re looking to shake things up a bit, why not trade the usual booming fireworks and chaotic crowds for glowing wireless headphones and chill vibes? Yep, I’m talking about a Silent Disco countdown party.

Pan Pacific Orchard New Year’s Eve Countdown Party promises to be anything but ordinary, with a unique Silent Disco experience awaiting you at Mosella. Kicking off at 8pm, get ready to dance the night away beneath the iconic Mosaic Drum.

The magic of a Silent Disco lies in its personalised touch. You control the music channels, letting you groove to your favorite beats all night long. Feel free to crank up the volume and dance like nobody’s watching!

Considering you might drink the night away, you’ll definitely need to fuel up first. Luckily, an indulgent international buffet will be waiting for you from 8pm to 10pm — just in time to kickstart the festivities.

And, yes. Beverages like wines, beers, and festive margaritas will be available for purchase as well.

When it comes to the tickets, there are four options to choose from.

The Main Event Access Pass is priced at S$98++ per person, providing entry to Mosella from 8pm to 12.15am.

On the other hand, for S$108++ per person, the  All Access Pass provides entry to Mosella and Florette from 8pm to 2am, with indoor private seating with a table, VIP server, and private bar access. You’ll also get an exclusive entry to Florette’s After Party.

If you’re only interested in the After Party, opt for the After Party Pass instead. At just S$25++ per person, you’ll get one welcome drink (with a mixer, draught beer, white or red wine, or soda).

Coming in a group of five? Their 5-For-4 Bundle throws in one ticket for free — because the best memories are made when shared.

And, Sushi Guren is here to prove that. This sushi restaurant in Lavender is a recent addition to the scene but it’s already turning heads thanks to their particularly generous opening promotion.

For a 12-course meal, it’ll cost just S$48+ per person, with no GST included. Of course, this special price won’t be here for long as the promotion ends on 31 January 2025, so hurry to book your reservation!

This 12-course omakase experience consists of two seasonal appetisers, a bowl of chawanmushi, seven pieces of nigiri sushi, hand roll, and their House Fish Bone Broth. Since the menu changes daily based on seasonal ingredients, every visit promises a unique dining experience.

However, you can expect classics like Buri Yellowtail, Kohada (Gizzard Shad), Botan Ebi, Otoro, Unagi, and Shima Aji (Horse Mackerel). If you want to take it up a notch, feel free to add on the Overflowing Ikura Gunkan for S$10 per piece.

This standout dish is crowned with three generous spoonfuls of ikura but do note it’is exclusively available on the Dinner Omakase menu.

As you near the end of your meal, you won’t be greeted with just a regular bowl of miso soup. Instead, indulge in a hearty serving of their signature Fish Bone Broth Udon — a comforting and satisfying finale. According to reviews, the broth was light, clean, and perfectly complemented the chewy udon noodles.

Pair your omakase with their range of alcoholic beverages, including High Ball (S$10) and Lemon Sour (S$10).

For those with a bigger appetite, there’s a 14-course omakase menu available, priced at just S$78+ per person.

Sushi Guren isn’t about over-the-top luxury or pretentious displays; instead, it focuses on serving fresh, high-quality seafood that hits the spot for your omakase cravings.

As such, you can make your reservations via WhatsApp at 8405 3142.

Cats in a Floating World is located at I.F Gallery at Tras Street and is free-entry. Adorned with pristine white walls and minimalist furniture, the gallery offers a serene oasis — one where you’re delightfully surrounded by all things feline (in artistic form, of course!).

Right at the entrance, you’ll be greeted by a giant cat statue dressed in a futuristic, space-themed outfit. While it might seem a bit intimidating at first, don’t worry, it’s all smiles (or purrs) for anyone looking to snap a photo!

This striking installation is part of Kanji Yanobe’s Ship’s Cat series, celebrating the adventurous spirit of cats as they explore and travel.

If this space-traveling feline has captured your heart, you can take it home as a miniature gachapon figure for just S$5 or flaunt its illustrated charm on a tote bag for S$35.

The rest of the exhibition is brought to life with illustrated artworks by various Japanese artists, such as Asuka Irie, Momoko Mayuyama, and Momoe Fukumoto. These pieces beautifully reflect Japanese culture through traditional art styles, scenic depictions of Japan, and an unmistakable feline flair woven throughout.

Whether you’re strolling through the area or searching for a fun (and free) date idea, this exhibition is a must-see. With its run ending soon on 29 December 2024, now’s your chance to catch it before it’s gone for good.

Which purr-fectly adorable highlight will steal your heart first?

At Nana & Friends Cafe, you’ll be greeted by a lineup of charming locally-based characters, with each bingsu order accompanied by an adorable plushie surprise. Ordering is a breeze, thanks to the expertise of EVO Amusement — the same folks behind the popular Pokémon Ga-Olé arcade machines.

Here’s how it works: simply choose your desired bingsu flavour (more on that in a bit!) at the ordering kiosk or counter. When your number is called, make your way to the giant vending machine and press the big, heart-shaped button. Voila! Out comes your bingsu and a surprise plushie to sweeten the deal.

Currently, the lineup features five adorable characters: Nana (pink), Moogie the cow (yellow), Bunbun the rabbit (purple), Fluff the duck (yellow), and Grumbo the frog (green). And the fun doesn’t stop there — new characters will be joining the gang soon, so keep an eye out!

So, what are the bingsu flavours you can choose from? There are six to choose from: Mango (S$18), Pineapple (S$18), Matcha (S$18), Strawberry (S$18), Chocolate Caramel (S$18), and Jiuxian (S$18). For the last one, it’s essentially a combination of sweet potato and yam balls, mixed with grass jelly and aiyu jelly, and topped with gula melaka sauce and red bean paste.

That’s not all. The menu also features an array of desserts, with the standout being the Mochi Waffle (S$4 each). Take your waffle experience up a notch with their delectable spreads, like Pistachio Praline (a nod to the viral Dubai chocolate), Matcha, and Cream Cheese.

Another option is the Mini Tarts (S$5 each) — available in flavours including Dark Chocolate, Pistachio Raspberry, Peanut Butter Coffee, and Earl Grey Lime.

Craving something savoury instead? Their Savoury Quiches (S$13 each) are right up your alley, featuring delicious options like Salmon & Spinach, Chicken, Seafood, and Mushroom.

Wash them all down with drinks like Ice Honey Lemon Soda (S$6), Ice Raspberry Lemonade (S$6.50), and Flat White Coffee (S$6).

While it might not be my go-to spot for a full-fledged brunch, it’s clear that the food isn’t the main attraction here. Ultimately, it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of shopping or snag an adorable new plushie to add to your collection.

Well, you’ll be glad to know that Miniso has officially opened its largest flagship store in Singapore! Miniso Land, which first debuted along the iconic Nanjing Road in Shanghai, has finally landed on our shores at PLQ Mall.

As the largest Miniso in Singapore, spanning a whopping 600 square metres, Miniso Land offers an impressive variety of products. The selection is so extensive that it’s divided into six themed zones, making your browsing experience a whole lot easier (and more fun)!

These zones are the Snack Zone, KandyLand, Trendy Blind Box Zone, Beauty Zone, IP Collection Zone, and Harry Potter Zone. As you can tell from their names, each zone is dedicated to a specific category.

I can already see most of you making a beeline for the blind box section. Look forward to series like Sanrio, Barbie, LINE Friends, Minions, Disney, and more. And for the Potterheads, don’t miss the dedicated Harry Potter section — home to what’s likely Singapore’s largest collection of Harry Potter merchandise.

Beauty enthusiasts, get ready to swoon over the in-store beauty selection. Featuring popular brands like Abib, Kosé, 3CE, and Skintific, you’ll find everything from makeup and skincare to perfumes and other self-care must-haves.

And, for IRVINS fans, make a beeline to the in-house IRVINS snack bar, where you can find a bunch of IRVINS salted egg nibbles.

With over 4,000 blind boxes, beauty must-haves, irresistible snacks, and more — all starting from just S$1 (yes, you heard that right) — Singapore’s largest Miniso store is a treasure trove waiting to be explored.

The only question is: how will you stop at just one cart?

With two outlets already in Kuala Lumpur, it was only a matter of time before Tsutaya Bookstore made its way to Johor Bahru — a hotspot for us Singaporeans on weekend getaways. Tsutaya Bookstore JB outlet is conveniently located at AEON Mall Tebrau City, just a quick 15-minute drive from the checkpoint.

Here, you’ll find walls upon walls of books covering every genre imaginable — graphic novels, mangas, educational reads, magazines, and more. Fiction and non-fiction are neatly organised by topics, genres, and languages.

For example, there’s a dedicated section for beloved books like the Harry Potter series, along with J.K. Rowling’s autobiography. This makes it easy and convenient for fans to find everything they’re looking for.

Another section is pretty much a Studio Ghibli heaven, featuring not only books on your favourite films like Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away but also a treasure trove of merchandise — think plushies, stationeries, mugs, and much more!

In fact, Tsutaya Bookstore is more like a multi-concept wonderland (and we all know how popular those are these days). Alongside books, you’ll find a wide range of lifestyle goodies — everything from beauty products like haircare and perfume to baby essentials, arts and crafts supplies, home decor, and much more!

Remember how I mentioned Tsutaya’s immersive reading experience? That’s because you can pick up a book and relax on one of the many cosy seats, benches, or study desks scattered throughout the store.

If you’d like to pair your reads with a cup of joe, you can do so as well at its in-house cafe. With its minimalist design, the cafe is surprisingly spacious yet still maintains a cosy and intimate vibe.

On the menu includes specialty drip coffee, ice-blended beverages, matcha, and cakes.

With the Christmas season upon us, you’ll be happy to hear that Tsutaya Bookstore is offering gift-wrapping services for those picking up holiday presents — making your shopping experience even more convenient!

So, what are you picking up first: your next read, some quirky stationery, or a cup of coffee to fuel your shopping spree?

Looks like the stage is set for even more incredible performances in the future, as Singapore will soon welcome a brand-new live music and entertainment hub — courtesy of Live Nation. I believe Live Nation needs no introduction as it’s all thanks to them that we can watch all our favourite acts in-person.

At the time of writing, the official name of the Live Nation music venue has yet to be revealed. However, what we do know is that it’ll be located along Grange Road in Orchard, just a few steps away from Somerset MRT.

The venue also boasts a seating capacity of up to 3,000 spectators. But that’s not all — there isn’t just one stage but multiple stages, all outfitted with state-of-the-art technology to deliver a truly immersive and unforgettable experience.

Aside from the stages, there will be event spaces as well, catered to hosting conferences, meetings, exhibitions, community activities, and a bunch of other events.

Feeling tired or need some refreshment? Take a break at the in-house cafe or bar, which also doubles as a cosy event space for those seeking a more intimate setting.

Though it’s still in its early stages, the buzz around its exciting amenities has already solidified this venue as the go-to destination for one-of-a-kind performances and good vibes.

Which artist are you hoping to catch first at this game-changing venue?
