In fact, from 4 May 2026 to 17 May 2026, one of our local Chinese Dance companies, the Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre, is holding its 11th edition of the Chinese Dance Fiesta. This year, the festival will showcase 6 Chinese dance performances held across Singapore, as well as workshops and discussion sessions with the esteemed Professor Ma Jiaqin, China’s first-grade choreographer and founding dean of Nanjing University of the Arts’ Dance Academy.

If you’re looking for some cultural enrichment to brighten up your life, here’s what to expect. 

Chinese Dance Performances 

On 8 May 2026, catch hardworking young dancers from primary, secondary and tertiary school groups such as Ngee Ann Polytechnic, St Tanjong Katong Primary School, and Dance Ensemble Singapore, celebrate Chinese heritage with captivating performances. Don’t underestimate them because of their age; these youths are just as passionate as any adult dancers.

On 9 May 2026, local troupes and companies will be putting up a show, allowing us an opportunity to support our homegrown talents. As these artists continue to preserve Singapore’s traditions and cultures, make sure you head down to witness the rewards of their hard work!

These performances are taking place in Esplanade’s outdoor theatre. Find more information here! 

The festival then continues across the island with these shows:

• Our Tampines Hub (10 May 2026)

Most of these shows are free with no registration required except for the VivoCity Amphitheatre. Although it’s already fully booked, you may still join the waitlist for an opportunity to watch dancers from Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and Sheng Hong Arts Institute perform.

Dance workshop and talks

Beyond the performances, the festival offers 2 introductory workshops to Kunwu Dance, a contemporary style of classical Chinese dance. 

The first is a 4-day intensive (S$300) catered to experienced dancers. The second is a 2-hour beginner-friendly workshop (S$10) held on 9 May 2026 that introduces attendees to the foundations of Kunwu Dance.

Cue Sta Western, a newly opened retro diner in Katong. Styled with warm yellow LED lights, ceiling fans, old posters, and arcade machines, the space feels almost reminiscent of a vintage Hong Kong film. Its menu, however, leans more towards old-school American or Western fare. 

If the concept feels familiar, that’s because it comes from the same team behind Star Western in Kovan—a store known for its generous portions and wallet-friendly prices. With Sta Western, it follows the same formula, but with just a touch more style and retro charm. 

With prices starting at S$9.90, you can get heaping portions of mains from chicken chop to lamb chops and more. Each plate comes with ladles of baked beans, buttered toast, a sunny-side-up, and other sides piled high and served on a simple metal tray. 

For an absolute classic, the USA Baked Potato (S$3.50) is simple, hearty, delicious, and affordable. It’s a perfect midday snack that’ll keep you satiated until your next meal. If you’re craving some good old finger food, they have everything from Corn Ribs (S$6.50) to Fresh Fried Sotong (S$11.90) and more. With its characteristically huge portions, it’s a great dish to share among friends and family. 

To round things off, the drinks menu keeps things local with staples like Iced Yuan Yang (S$3) and Teh Limau Iced (S$3). 

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or just a solid, satisfying meal, Sta Western is the perfect escape to simpler times and better vibes.

Its characteristically Chinese-styled wood-panelled walls convey a soft elegance, while custom-made murals by artist Sam Lo add striking pops of colour and personality to the space. Inspired by traditional Chinese motifs and ingredients like the goji berry, Sam Lo highlights the intentionality behind the restaurant’s birth and conceptualisation.

The mural titled “One pot many worlds” speaks to the broader restaurant concept— showcasing Chinese dining philosophy at its fore but celebrating cuisines around the world with its menu. 

QUAN Hotpot does this by representing diverse cultures with signature broth flavours such as Singapore Laksa Broth (S$18). For more traditional options, get the Classic Sichuan Mala Broth (S$20) or Bone Pepper Broth (S$16). The Collagen Herbal Chicken Broth (S$20) is a lighter option, while the Traditional Congee Broth (S$14) is a unique and indulgent dish, made with Thai jasmine rice and mushroom stock.

Inspired by the Chinese five elements of flavour—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty— the broths are created to complement one another with their delicately balanced flavour profiles.

Enjoy your hotpot with premium ingredients like Australian Wagyu Beef (S$28), Iberico Pork (S$12), Boston Lobsters (S$64/500-600 grams), Korean Abalone (S$48/2 pieces), and Tiger Prawns (S$26/4 pieces) alongside locally sourced produce. If you prefer grilled meats, it also offers items prepared on the Josper Grill, an enclosed charcoal oven and grill that infuses a deep smoky flavour in the food. 

QUAN Hotpot is also a blueprint for sustainable sourcing, working closely with local farms and fisheries to bring the freshest ingredients to the table while being environmentally responsible. 

If you’re craving an escape from our fast-paced lives, QUAN Hotpot offers a relaxing ambience, traditional themes, and comforting, delicious food. It’s the perfect place to gather with friends and family, slow down, and reconnect intentionally over a shared meal.

At the newest branch of MODU High, the restaurant brings its comforting signature broth comprising ginseng, jujube, garlic, and more to the hustling CBD. 

Appetisers and Shareables

Starting with appetisers, we were greeted with three dishes: steamed eggplant in soy sauce, ginger and ginseng in honey, and fresh tomatoes in chilli oil. While the combination might sound unfamiliar, don’t be afraid to dig in and experience a different (and acquired) side of Korean cuisine!

We also tried the restaurant’s Mung Bean Pancake (S$16), which is made by grinding soaked mung beans, adding vegetables and meat and pan-frying it into a round, flat shape. We 100% recommend dipping the pancake in the sauce, as we did find the pancake a little plain for our liking. 

Samgyetang

While MODU High’s samgyetang menu boasts twelve signature variations, we tried the classic Yang Vitality (S$52) samgyetang and a new item, Truffle (S$48) samgyetang.

Each samgyetang comes in a set comprising radish kimchi, in-house red dipping sauce, salt and pepper, minari salad, and glutinous rice. The best part of it all? These side dishes and condiments are all refillable! Adding on to the authentic experience of indulging in samgyetang, a small cup of soju will also be given to mix with this herbal broth. 

Opening the tender steamed chicken submerged in rich broth, we loved how easy it was to peel tender meat off the bone. Not to mention our pleasant surprise to see a scoop of shiny glutinous rice in the chicken, as we thought our side plate of glutinous rice would be all.

Dubbed the “super‑food” bowl, the Yang Vitality samgyetang pairs the classic broth with Yagwanmun—a rare Korean herb celebrated for liver support—and an extra dose of ginseng. As for the Truffle, you’ll have black truffle grinded in front of you, adding a more performative experience to your meal. Once mixed in the soup, the truffle remains an underlying flavour, allowing MODU High’s 12-hour broth to still shine. 

Dessert

At the end of our meal, the delicate dessert of cinnamon yakgwa (Korean honey cookie) and jujube tea (S$20) was served. 

If we were to compare it to a relatable dish, the yakgwa tasted like churros! Sweet and punchy, it felt like we were eating churros in a pretty biscuit form. As for the jujube tea, we imagined this to be compatible with heavy lovers of herbal ingredients, as we did find it a little bitter—much like any other herbal ingredient.

Opening Promotions

To celebrate its grand opening, MODU High has teamed up with the neighboring dessert boutique Tofu G Amoy. Every dine‑in guest will receive a complimentary Tofu G gelato voucher, redeemable for any of the shop’s plant‑based flavors while stocks last. 

Whether you’re after an energy‑boosting bowl, a luxurious broth, or simply a serene spot to unwind, MODU High invites you to sit, sip, and savor a piece of Korean heritage re‑imagined for today’s palate.

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!

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. If you enjoy this ACM collaboration, keep an eye out for more UNIQLO art partnerships and upcoming museum-inspired collections!

Aiming to bring authentic Taiwanese fare to Singapore, the café’s menu features the country’s most popular flavours and iconic dishes, including artisanal fruit teas, braised pork rice, and more. 

The newest buffet launch starts at S$19.90 and includes a wide range of snacks, sides, mains, and desserts. As per the café’s chef recommendations, we tried the Oyster Mee Sua, Signature Braised Pork Rice, Casserole Tofu, and of course, Xiao Long Baos—which did not disappoint. 

The Oyster Mee Sua was thick and silky, with generous servings of plump oysters adding delightful bursts of umami as we ate, while the Signature Braised Pork Rice was covered in a rich and gelatinous meat sauce that paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice. The pork floss added a hint of sweetness, which gave the dish an extra depth of flavour that we really appreciated. 

Arguably one of our favourites, the Casserole Tofu was rich and savoury. The silky tofu was drenched in a flavour-packed sauce, creating the perfect combination that had us reaching for more.

Finally, the highlight of the buffet is definitely the unlimited flow of Xiao Long Baos. These little soup dumplings delight the taste buds with a burst of broth on every bite, making them incredibly addictive. Known to be pricier than the typical dim sum dishes, now you can eat them to your heart’s content without worrying about the price tag!

Lastly, the Signature Taiwanese Pot-Boiled Milk Tea (S$4.90++, UP S$9.90++) levels up the classic milk tea with premium tea and handmade pearls. Choose between fragrant Mountain Oolong or smoky Assam tea leaves, and enjoy the fresh brew poured directly over the chewy, syrupy pearls for a pop of sweetness and texture. This delicacy can now be ordered at 50% off with every À La Carte Buffet order, limited to one redemption per pax.

Fans of Andie Chen, you’ll also be delighted to learn that some of these dishes were developed in close collaboration with him, featuring his favourite Taiwanese dishes. So definitely check out the buffet if you want a taste of your idol’s favourite foods!

Now, it is coming to Singapore as AiFOKATO opens its doors in Telok Ayer. The cosy wood-panelled space invites you in to escape Singapore’s sweltering heat with their artisanal treats. Alongside that, it also offers other culinary sensations such as -86 Coffee and Butter Mochis from Korea. 

Spotlighting the signature Affogato, it’s sold with a DIY concept that lets you create up to 12 flavour combinations. Four gelato flavours: Madagascar Vanilla Gelato, Premium Korean Matcha Gelato, Callebaut Dark Chocolate Gelato, and lastly its signature Premium Pistachio Gelato—and three hot pours: Espresso, Hot Chocolate, and Matcha Pour. Their gelato is made egg-free and gluten-free, with clean, mellow flavours that can balance out the intensity of the espresso.

The -86 Coffee is a recreation of a coffee trend spreading through Asia. Originating from China, this coffee-drinking method starts with a -86°C glass, into which piping-hot coffee is poured. The frosty visuals and extreme temperature contrast had coffee drinkers everywhere hooked, and now you too, can enjoy this smooth, creamy blend.

Finally, bringing over the Butter Mochi craze from Korea, these snacks perfectly complement the cafe’s coffee selections. The sinful little buns have a beautifully golden, crunchy exterior that gives way to a chewy, buttery bread on every bite.

Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art 

The National Gallery Singapore is pushing the boundaries of artistic expression in Asia with its first-ever R18 exhibition. The provocative exhibition aims to challenge the way we view subjects like desire and intimacy—reframing them as lived experiences rather than a taboo.

Tickets are priced at S$5 for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, and S$8 for other nationalities. The age requirement is 18 and above, and valid identification is required for entry.

Filmhouse

Singapore has seen a wave of closures in the art scene, such as The Projector and Filmgarde Cineplexes. Although independent art spaces are increasingly succumbing to corporate developments, Filmhouse’s opening is a second chance for us to support these platforms. 

This weekend, catch movies ranging from the latest releases like The Drama to beloved classics like Princess Mononoke by legendary director Hayao Miyazaki—or support local works like Amoeba, an award-winning film by director Tan Siyou, who follows four rebellious girls as they form a secret gang.

As part of its two-month-long housewarming party, the cinema has also launched a Music in Film series, featuring the iconic La La Land alongside Whiplash and Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Weekend standard ticket prices are S$16.50 while concession prices are S$14.50. Whether you’re there for the films, the music, or the community, it’s a great way to support the local arts scene while also having a blast.
