What is VE/LA ?

VE/LA (เวลา) means time in Thai. In this instance of this speciality coffee and matcha house, its signature range draws inspiration from different moments of the day, accompanied by a colour gradient. 

The first 24-hour VE/LA outlet

Speaking of time, the upcoming VE/LA in Changi Airport will be the brand’s first 24-hour café, fitting of its location.

Positioned at the intersection between Terminal 1 and Jewel, the space allows both travelers and local visitors to access the café without the need for departure.

Menu

The Singapore menu will follow a streamlined selection of items featured in VE/LA’s London branch, comprising signature speciality coffee, matcha, and craft tea. From our research, signatures we can most likely expect in Singapore include the VE/LA Airecano, Cloudy Matcha, and Kaimook Latte.

Alongside these staples, the Singapore branch will also introduce a Singapore-exclusive tea—the Kaya Toast Latte. Inspired by Singapore’s beloved classic breakfast, the drink mixes familiar local flavours with VE/LA’s aesthetic gradients. 

Of course, with every good cup of coffee comes a light bite. While the official line-up of bites has not been announced, items available in most VE/LA branches consist of: Cookie Bites, Mille Crepe Boxes, Cake Boxes, and an iconic Banana Bread. 

With coffee sourced locally in Thailand and farms around the world, Thai-grown teas harvested from acclaimed organic tea farmers in Northern Thailand, and exclusively crafted matcha from Mie, Japan—a new kind of roast is set to make waves in Singapore in the months to come. 

Online Store

If visiting Changi Airport seems too far to sample VE/LA’s offering, you can also find the brand’s coffee beans, capsules, concentrates, and more on its online store. 

With more sensational cafés like VE/LA popping up in Singapore, it’s time to update your café-hopping list!

As Singapore’s pinnacle annual performing arts festival, the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) returns from 15 May 2026 to 30 May 2026 with a vibrant constellation of performances, installations, and activities. From epic productions to engaging works of art, SIFA 2026 invites all to explore and experiment with new forms of arts.

With five festival pillars: Festival Stage, Festival House, Festival Village, Festival Play!Ground, and Festival Late Nites—each area will allow you to experience the arts on your own terms—filled with free performances, public installations, and communal spaces. 

At the heart of SIFA 2026 is the long-awaited return of the Festival Village at the Empress Lawn extending to the Anderson Bridge. Serving as a free and open-access hub for gathering and play. 

Return of the Festival Village 

Inspired by the festive spirit of the 1990s and early 2000s, the Festival Village will bring together indoor and outdoor performances, interactive installations, parades and engaging experiences that extend from late night into the early morning. 

Highlighted works include: Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming《记忆游泳池》by The Theatre Practice—a work which transforms the Festival Village into a communal music and movement space; RUPTURE by The Observatory—a dawn sound installation drawing on seismic research, volcanic activity and mythology, and Makan Culture at the Festival Market—an interactive celebration of Singapore’s beloved dishes through puppetry, music and theatre.

A Festival for All

Building on the positive public response to last year’s SIFA Pavilion at Bedok Town Square, SIFA’s Festival Play!Ground at Nexus, SIFA brings two large-scale and high-impact artistic experiences from the Festival Village to Nexus, Punggol Digital District. 

Meet Noli Timere, a performance as the result of a five-year collaboration between Guggenheim Fellowship recipients Rebecca Lazier and Janet Echelman. Featuring a specially designed, voluminous net sculpture by eight multidisciplinary performers, be sure to catch the soaring aerial performance featuring artists suspended 25 feet in the air! 

From Singapore to the World: A Stage Without Borders

Local commissioned productions and international works will also take the stage to bring together an array of collaborations and culture. 

From spotlighting homegrown cultural icons such as Jacintha Abisheganade, to reimagining classics such as Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler by the National Theater Company of Korea, to productions that incorporate holographic technology and stunning stage illusions, SIFA 2026 opens up multiple pathways and platforms for audiences to rediscover the joy and significance of coming together through art.

Over the festival’s 15-day period, each day will be filled with breathtaking productions, installations, and photo spots to remember the occasion by. 

And while many of its programmes are free, ticketed programmes can be bought with a 20% early-bird discount, till 13 April 2026. Additionally, selected programmes are eligible for the SG Culture Pass, with prices starting from S$20. 

With thrilling performances, engaging installations, and unique experiences, enjoy the joy of creativity this May!

Making the most out of the cult-favourite Samyang Buldak Carbonara noodles, the Samyang Buldak Carbonara Double Down (S$8.70) becomes the main lead of this series. Featuring Samyang Buldak Carbonara noodles between two Zinger fillets, this flavour-filled item is topped with Parmesan Cheese and a slice of Smoked Applewood Chicken Ham. 

KFC’s popular Hot & Crispy Chicken (S$4.80) also gains an extra Samyang Buldak Carbonara sauce, alongside a tub of Korean pickled radish—to match the authentic K-fried chicken meal experience.

One of the items to highly anticipate, the Samyang Buldak Carbonara Loaded Fries (S$5.95), comprise golden fries drenched in fiery red Samyang Buldak Carbonara sauce. That’s not all, because what is KFC’s fries without a pour of its signature cheese sauce! Completed with dashes of spring onion, this might become a new guilty pleasure of ours in the weeks to come. 

Calming the Samyang spice at the end of your meal, KFC’s limited-time Strawberry Cream Cheese Mochi (S$3.80) features pillow-soft mochi wrapped around a creamy cheese centre and strawberry-filled core.

Photobooth Experience

Just as our favourite K-Pop idols have dedicated photobooth events or fan-made frames, this collaboration has called for the same. KFC invites all fans of the collaboration to a special in-store photobooth experience in collaboration with Dollop Studios.

From 2 April 2026 to 3 May 2026, visit KFC Kallang or Dollop Pitstop at *SCAPE, and step into the themed Dollop photobooth featuring two exclusive designs and snap fun photo strips inspired by the new launch of the Samyang Buldak Carbonara Double Down. Each photostrip will be available at a special discounted price of S$5, so grab these frames while you still can!

KFC’s Samyang Buldak Carbonara menu will be made available from 8 April 2026 to 19 May 2026, for both dine-in and takeaway at all KFC outlets except Singapore Zoo and Sentosa, while stocks last. The menu is also available for delivery via GrabFood, foodpanda, and KFC Delivery. 

Whether you’re a casual fan of the iconic  Samyang Buldak Carbonara cup noodles, or an avid lover who adds Samyang’s addictive spice to everything, you can expect this menu to be the newest midnight snack!

The pop-up, located in the museum’s lobby, showcases five exclusive T-shirt designs (S$29.90 for adult sizes, S$19.90 for kid sizes) created in collaboration with local artists Knuckles & Notch, Gabriel De Souza, SONG, HAFI, and Nikkei. Each design reinterprets artefacts from the museum’s collection, transforming the historical objects into stylish, wearable art.

Admire artefacts such as the candlebra, or dancing woman pitcher from the Maritime Trade Gallery, or palampore and elephant head bangles from the Court and Company Gallery. You can learn about their history and significance and find a deeper appreciation for their reimagined forms on the graphic T-shirts, which you can get as a meaningful souvenir.

Spotlighting a few, Gabriel De Souza’s artwork draws inspiration from Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock painting, surrealism, and elements of folklore, which shine through in his vivid and whimsical design. While SONG, who blends graffiti with storytelling, incorporates gestures and symbolisations in his artwork to convey a narrative through his illustration. 

Beyond the pop-up retail experience, select UNIQLO UTme! outlets will also allow customers to purchase and customise T-shirt designs. Purchases from these outlets also include complimentary access to special exhibitions and selected museum areas, limited to 100 redemptions per month until 30 July 2026.

If you find yourself mesmerised by the designs, you can also score a free printmaking workshop with one of the artists, Knuckles & Notch. It is not a ticketed event, so all you have to do is show up! All dates and timings for the workshop can be found here. 

UNIQLO has long been an advocate for making art accessible, partnering with art institutions and pop art icons to use textiles, designs, and accessories to appeal to the public.

Situated opposite Bulgogi Syo—in collaboration with Chef Jung from Culinary Class Wars—another celebrity chef makes an appearance at Bibim Deli. Founded by Chef Min Yo Han, the chef brings over 1000 side dishes to Singapore, allowing you to create your own bibimbap.

Similar to Mala, the price of your meal will be determined by its weight. Pick out Chef Min’s side dishes however you like, and your bowl will be charged at S$3.88 per 100g. 

We first started with the store’s complimentary 150g of rice, and followed the queue like a buffet. Out of the 30 side dishes, we chose: stir-fried fishcakes, onion beef bulgogi, soy sauce dakgalbi, pickled cucumber, long green beans (both of which were featured on Culinary Wars), and a runny soy sauce egg. 

If you’re feeling a little too full for rice, noodles like Japchae and Jjappaghetti are also available to choose from. However, these noodles are not complimentary like the rice, so keep in mind that they will be included in your final bowl weigh-in. 

Apart from side dishes like greens, eggs, and meat, you’ll also find iconic Korean bunsik (snack food) items. Highlight items include kimmari (fried seaweed rolls), fried dumplings, tteokbokki, and more stir-fried goodness. 

Once you’re ready to complete your meal, head over to the counter to weigh your bowl, and guess the weight of your dish; because from now till 28 June 2026, if you guess the weight of your bowl correctly (+/- 5 grams), you’ll enjoy it for free!

Top up Bibim Deli’s seaweed soup to go with your bowl for S$2.88, or get a drink and bowl of soup for S$4.28. 

Upon trying our bibim-bowls, we could tell that it would be a huge hit among locals and tourists visiting Suntec City! Carrying a distinct hearty flavour, Chef Min’s side dishes resembled the vibe of comforting cai png dishes. 

Bibim Deli also provides takeaway boxes at the price of S$3.88 per 100g, for you to share the eatery’s famous dishes at home too. 

At the corner of the restaurant, a range of authentic Korean food merchandise and ingredients sourced directly from Chef Min’s specialised network yearns to be taken home. To start, Bibim Deli will be carrying the thoughtful snacks from Chef Min’s brand Dosigotgan, crafted with premium, natural ingredients and a lot of love. 

Notable ingredients include Dosigotgan Soft Puffed Rice, Dosigotgan Traditional Sesame Oil, Dosigotgan Fresh Ginger Extract, Dosigotgan Seasoned Seaweed Flakes, and Dosigotgan Pumpkin Yakgwa. 

With this unique banchan-focused dining experience in Singapore, you’ll be able to eat something new every day within the same restaurant at Bibim Deli!
