The exhibit titled Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art, explores how desire and sexuality have been represented in art in Southeast Asian societies. It brings together over 70 works from across periods, regions, and cultures, featuring a diverse media of paintings, sculptures, and photography. Intentionally curated to showcase abstract expressions rather than literal interpretations, it encourages visitors to look beyond the obvious and think deeper. 

What to expect

The exhibition is organised in 3 sections—Asian Mythos and Ritual, Conventions of the Erotic, and Public Arenas/Private Interiors. Asian Mythos and Rituals explores spiritual and cosmological narratives behind eroticism, showcasing the human body as a bridge between nature, emotion, sacredness, and spirituality. 

Meanwhile, Conventions of the Erotic showcases how artists have challenged traditional views of the body in the post-colonial era. Enjoy a diversity of perspectives, as some artists present nudity as a form of liberation, while others use it to explore new means of expression and symbolisation.

The last section, Public Arenas/Private Interiors, is a curation of artist voices who used their works to bring marginalised experiences into public discourse. All while pushing against the rapid cultural shifts of the 20th Century. 

Artist spotlight

Spotlighting some works, Alfonso Ossosrio evokes a visceral bodily experience through his dynamic and dense artwork, Clouds of Conscience. Meanwhile, Ahmad Zakii Anwar leans into realist symbolism with Sixtynine, as his humorous artwork depicts two fruits drawn in precarious positions. 

Works by local artists will also be featured, such as Lavendar Chung’s Dissolving into the Same Breath. Using long-exposure photography, she captures bodies in motion as soft, fleeting moments of intimacy.

Ticketing and admission

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.

As Southeast Asia’s leading visual arts institution steps into bold new territory, visit this boundary-pushing exhibition to experience desire, intimacy, and expression through a new lens.

Getting into the spirit of the promotion, outlets at IMM, Heartland@Bedok, Westgate, Paya Lebar Quarter, and Hougang Mall will also be spicing up their stores with some Powerpuff Girl decor. 

Powerpuff food 

As the saying goes, we eat first with our eyes—and there’ll be plenty to feast on with these vibrant character-inspired creations. Starting with the Power Sushi Trio (S$3++), it’s an over-the-top dish with stacks of cucumber maki, tamagoyaki, and salmon sashimi, topped with a generous dollop of crab mayo salad. 

The desserts feature a Rainbow Cheesecake (S$3++) and Rainbow Swiss Roll (S$3), which are just as fun to look at as they are to eat. Swirling in the iconic trio’s colour palette, they’re vibrant, playful, and irresistible. 

Powerpuff merchandise

The cuteness doesn’t stop at food, as Sushi Express has also launched a range of keepsakes for you to take home. 

Accessorise your bags with a bubblegum pink Flight Tag Keychain (purchase at S$2.90 with a minimum bill of S$10) that screams Y2K fashion. Alternatively, get the keycharms (Redeemable through the gachapon as part of the stamp card system), available in 5 designs—the 3 Powerpuff Girls, and 2 Sushis.

If you want something to cuddle, you can get the Keychain Plushes (Redeemable through the stamp card system) of the Powerpuff trio, each hugging a sushi. The fun, light-hearted designs are suitable for adults and children alike. 

Stamp Card System

As part of the campaign, Sushi Express designed a colour-coded stamp card system with different outlets tied to a specific colour of the Powerpuff Girl palette.

For every $10 spent in a single receipt, diners earn a stamp. From there, it’s a tiered reward system:

• 2 stamps unlock a gachapon spin with a $1 top-up
• 4 stamps score a free gachapon spin (with prizes like keycharms or vouchers)
• 6 stamps of the same colour redeem a Powerpuff Girl plushie

Claw machines and giveaways

The fun continues with a test of your skills and reflexes, as a claw machine will be stationed at selected outlets listed below. Spend S$15 in a single bill for a chance to play and win exclusive plushies.

Sushi Express members who spend a minimum of $10 per visit during the campaign period will be entered into a weekly draw to win oversized plush toys, with 3 winners picked each week. 

Whether you’re here for the sushi, the merch, or just a dose of childhood nostalgia, this limited-time drop will spice up your life with delicious food and light-hearted fun!

The open-air venue adds a casual, laid-back vibe that makes it an ideal setting for both Pokémon fans and dedicated music lovers.

This special Pokémon Brass Concert is part of a larger celebration marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Japan. Beyond being a standalone event, it also complements the orchestra’s main ticketed performance at the Esplanade Concert Hall on 29 April 2026, conducted by Tatsuya Shimono and featuring pianist Kyohei Sorita. 

Founded in 1926, the NHK Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded as one of Japan’s most prestigious orchestras, known for its excellence and international presence. This special performance will feature a dynamic brass ensemble, including trumpets, horns, trombones, and tubas. Through these instruments, the musicians bring a bold and vibrant soundscape to the familiar Pokémon melodies, offering a unique interpretation that has both power and nuance.

Alongside the playful Pokémon themes, the ensemble will also present timeless classical pieces that showcase the versatility and expressive range of brass instruments. Audiences can expect a mix of refined compositions and light-hearted favourites suitable for all ages. A special appearance by Pikachu adds an interactive and whimsical element, making it especially appealing for families and younger audiences. 

Best of all, the event is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Arriving early is recommended to secure a good spot. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy world-class musicianship in a casual setting, so don’t miss out on a joyful evening of music and cultural exchange

Upon walking in, it seemed that the newly opened restaurant had yet to build any momentum. However, we thought that its appealing menu had the potential to do well among the younger generation. 

What immediately caught our attention was the internet sensation, Waterfall Salmon Yuzu Soba (S$50.80), a bowl of noodles made entirely of salmon sashimi. Although its price is steep, it’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime item that’s worth trying at least once.

The Compressed Watermelon (S$11.80), a yuzu ponzu-marinated watermelon topped with avocado, was also a novel item we’ve never seen anywhere else. If you’re a vegan looking for creative new recipes to try, this item is definitely for you. 

We ordered the Salmon Ikura Don (S$21.80), Sirloin Beef Steak (S$34.80), and Chicken Katsu Curry Don (S$20.80). The Salmon Ikura Don was a classic that couldn’t go wrong, with high-quality salmon and ikura that tasted fresh and flavourful over a bed of fluffy Japanese rice.

The Sirloin Beef Steak was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a side of sauce, salt, garlic, and green onions that helped balance its richness.

The Chicken Katsu Curry Don was juicy and lightly breaded—crispy without being overly greasy. Poured atop the katsu, the curry was fragrant and complex, with hints of sweetness and spice, while a side of salad added a refreshing contrast to the otherwise hearty dish. Each dish also came with miso soup, which helped cleanse the palate between bites.

Overall, the quality of the dishes was definitely up to standard and appropriate for its slightly higher price point. Its menu, although limited, featured an appealing selection of dishes that were both innovative and popular. 

The restaurant is currently running an opening promotion until 30 April 2026 that lets you join a free membership for S$2 off all items and a 1-for-1 Sakeshi Salmon Collagen Soup. The savoury broth was great value for money, filled with large, generous chunks of salmon, cooked perfectly with a tender pink centre. 

Alongside the ongoing opening promotions, Sakeshi is definitely worth checking out, especially before the crowds start to catch on.

Set in 111 Somerset, Lucine’s interior is bathed in natural light, flooding in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Along with life-sized floral installations and stylish light fixtures, it is an ideal spot for a first date or an aesthetic meal worthy of your Instagram feed. 

Keeping its menu relevant, the upgraded selections are inspired by the latest food trends, such as the Korean Spicy Marinated Egg, which is a jammy soft-boiled egg. They also cater to the local palate with creations like the Laksa Pasta, alongside other favourites like a Carbonara Chicken Pasta and Pan-Seared Salmon rice bowls. 

Don’t forget to check out classic selections like the Grilled Cheese Sandwich (S$12.90), and try to recreate the iconic cheese pull. For a vegetarian option, their Tofu Katsu Sandwich (S$10.90) will be a satisfying, protein-packed option, leaving you feeling satiated but not heavy. 

The highlight of this eatery, however, has to be its petite cakes. Signatures include a unique Tofu cake (S$8.50), which has a silky mousse-filled centre with hazelnut and buckwheat, supported by a sablé biscuit base. Alternatively, it also offers a more decadent Chocolate Rocher Petite (S$8.80) and an Orh Nee Cake Petite (S$8.50). 

A good dessert always deserves a good beverage, and Lucine’s speciality lattes are made just for that. The Tiramisu Latte (S$8.50), for example, is a creamy, chocolaty drink that’s almost as indulgent as the cakes. The café also serves an Affogato (S$8) if you need an escape from Singapore’s sweltering weather.

So if you’re craving a halal-friendly brunch spot that serves up good food and good aesthetics, Lucine will not disappoint. With all dishes under S$20, it’s almost too good to be true!

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.
