Palms and lush greenery frame an open, al fresco dining area, with rattan seating, a sunny lawn, and a dipping pool at the centre. It feels more like a Bali retreat than a Singapore restaurant.

Brunch

Wheeler’s Tropikana offer the kind of menu you’d expect poolside on holiday: relaxed, flavourful, and easy to graze through all afternoon. Not sure about you, but my kind of brunch calls for Omelette au Fromage (S$18) and the Pastrami Panini (S$24). Prefer a heartier and messier kind of breakie? The Salmon Benny (S$26) or Egg Florentine (S$24) might be your cup of tea, and it’s great for sharing. 

Wheeler’s Tropikana also serves Kombucha on Tap for S$8 per glass – Strawberry Mint, Pink Guava, and Raspberry Passionfruit. Apart from that, there’s also a Weekend Bottomless Brunch happening every Saturday and Sunday, from 11am to 4pm, priced at S$68++ for 2 hours of free-flow drinks – Red, White, Rosé, or Beer on tap. 

Dinner

Not a morning person? Come for slower afternoons with refreshing cocktails – Lychee or Apple Martini (S$15) and Long Island Iced Tea (S$19), or knock yourself out with their Cocktail Jug for S$48, with 2 kinds to choose from. Wheeler’s Tropikana is the kind of place where one drink turns into an evening. Catch the sunset with their fresh Summer Caprese (S$26) and indulge in pizza and pasta. 

For a sociable evening with a bigger group, order a Rack of Lamb (S$48) with smoked tomato salsa and their special Jeju Pork Tomahawk (S$60) with charred leeks. Pair these proteins with sides of Broccolini (S$12) and Roasted Carrots (S$12) with tahini yoghurt on the side for dipping. For the crust, we can trust their Artichoke & Parma (S$26) and the Good Ole Marg (S$22) – a pizza that never goes wrong. 

Come for the food, stay for a good time, then linger for evening live music and DJs on certain nights. Make your retreat-worthy reservations here today!

Taylor Adam 

Tailoring suits? You can if you want to, but the fitting room is the entrance to Taylor Adam. A classy bar and culinary tales are right behind the curtains.

Indian and Chinese flavours have entered the chat, with Golden Taro Balls (S$10) and Masala Crab Toast (S$16) as excellent options for shareable bites. Want more spice? Try the Hunan Beef Skewers (S$28), rubbed with Xinjiang spices and the Sichuan Lotus Chips (S$12). 

Bringing you the most elegant drinks, Divine Mercy ties in Gin with Tie Guan Yin and Elderflower Liqueur for a floral harmony; Threads of Fire infuses lotus root with layers of fiery kick in each sip; and Jade Garden unfolds light, delicate sweet notes.

Leila

Leila showcases their Middle East and Mediterranean flair, providing dishes made for sharing and drinks for every conversation. 

Hot girl dinner begins with Kubana (S$15), soft, pillowy bread with crushed tomatoes, garlic confit, and harissa for a gentle spice. For mains, the Mini Pita Arayes (S$18) is ideal to share between 2, along with the Green Chilli Shrimp (S$27) or the Chicken Manseef (S$33) for flavourful protein. 

Leila’s cocktails you probably never had before but are worth a try: Sam-Buk (S$24) mixes Greek Olive Oil with White Rum, and Arak-esso (S$26) features Coffee Liqueur and Arabic Arak, a traditional Arabic spirit.

Lulu’s Lounge 

Lulu’s Lounge is a playground for adults. A modern supper club presenting the glamour of 1930s Shanghai. Think Dim Sum and innovative Cocktails shaped by Chinese ingredients, with a rotation of live music and performances, featuring drag, burlesque, and cabaret shows. 

Pick up your chopsticks and qiap the Truffle & Prawn Siu Mai (S$22), A4 Wagyu Black Pepper Spring Rolls (S$32), and Soft Shell Crab Steam Bao (S$18) to get the best of all varieties for the table. 

When cocktails come into play, move through the night at your own pace. Kickstart the night with a Little Lie (S$24), which you secretly like Coriander in your Gin; or perhaps tell the waitress to call for Madam Li (S$23) to bring the Milky Oolong Tea with Gin to the table. Calling it a night? End the night off with a cheeky game, but don’t reveal your Lucky Tiles (S$23) to the rest; they need not know that there’s Whiskey and Chrysanthemum Tea in your cup. 

Walk-ins are accommodated; reservations are highly encouraged here.

Intimate, basement hideout in Singapore? Pause at Hup San Social Club, your neighbourhood bistro and bar. Their cocktail menu is inspired by simplicity and happiness, translated through sips and warm moments. 

With 16 Signature Cocktails to choose from, here are 4 intriguing drinks I would go for. Achar (S$26) to tickle the back of my throat with Achar Shrub and Tabasco; P.B Espresso Martini (S$27) is the kind of drink that calls for all Peanut Butter and Hazelnut lovers; B.K.T (S$26) screams comforting with a hint of curiosity, with hot Bak Kut Teh broth and Rice Vodka; and finally, as a qualified Gen Z, how could I miss Gen Z Maicha (S$26), with Genmaicha and Chivas? Sold! 

With a limited capacity of 12 cosy seats, reservations are a must. Pick a date and secure your seats here.

Dimple sets the scene with cocktails that translate the scenes of Hong Kong into delectable drinks. Some personal favourites were Sour Plum (S$25), inspired by chilled sour plum itself and tomatoes, and Yuan Yang (S$25), which tastefully brings a local element into a glass. 

Who knew a bowl of healthy Cantonese dessert could be constructed into a fun drink? Dimple does it right with Longan & Red Date (S$25), incorporating Winter Melon, White Fungus, and Whiskey. Brown Butter (S$25) is an interpretation of Hong Kong movies, with Cognac and Bitter Dark Chocolate.

While time for Tom’s Palette is running out, the Singaporean gelataria is not going out in despair, but in celebration. The brand’s spokesperson Faith Yap shared that the brand will be bringing back its most beloved flavours every week in an Encore Collection.

Encore Collection

From now until the end of Tom’s Palette’s operations, three flavours are expected to be released each week on Tuesday. These flavours are limited-time classics that customers have highly requested to make a return, and will be available for pre-orders in pints.

The same flavours will also come to Tom’s Palette’s storefronts, available in the usual cups and cones in limited quantities. For details on all the flavours dropping in the upcoming weeks, stay tuned to Tom’s Palette’s website and socials.

Keep reading to find out what flavours we are looking out for, including some we will sorely miss. If you’ve ever been to Tom’s Palette, some of these will sound familiar.

Legendary Flavours

From 11 to 23 August 2026, the theme is Chocolate. Of these three, we are looking forward most to Nasty Mix — a combination of salted chocolate gelato, caramelised peanut butter, and pretzels. For those of you who love a scoop that is rich in flavour, or something reminiscent of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or a Snickers bar, don’t miss out on this one.

After the chocolate-themed week, Tom’s Palette shines the spotlight on Local flavours. And of course, we have to talk about Pi Pa Gao. Who would have thought that a Chinese medicinal cough syrup could work well as a gelato flavour? As ironic as it sounds, this is one to remember for the ages. We’re definitely getting a scoop of this before it disappears.

Local, Part Two, is probably the one we are most looking forward to. All three flavours here are legendary, but Salted Egg Yolk and Soya Bean Youtiao are simply iconic. One is a popular, savoury flavour inspired by Liu Sha Bao (Molten Salted Egg Yolk Buns) that has been around for 15 years.

The other is one of our personal favourites that recreates a classic pairing in gelato form — soya bean and fried dough fritters. Both are absolute must-tries.

Is there any other fruit that better represents Singapore than Durian? Available from 22 September 2026 to 4 October 2026, the Mao Shan Wang flavour returns, bringing that instantly recognisable thickness, creaminess, and bittersweetness. This is the perfect flavour for all you durian lovers.

Based on Tom’s Palette’s website, the final three flavours to be released as part of the Encore Collection will be Halloween-themed. At the time of writing, these flavours have yet to be revealed, but we know it will launch on 6 October 2026 and last till the establishment’s closing.

End of a 21-year Era

The announcement of Tom’s Palette’s closure came through the brand’s Facebook and Instagram pages, where Yap shared about the struggles of sustaining two gelato outlets amidst rising costs and in an industry where customers only show up “for three hours out of the day”.

The post has since garnered much support from loyal customers, who expressed both their disappointment about the closure and gratitude for the store being a spot where fond memories were made.

Whether you are a longtime fan of Tom’s Palette or not, drop by one of their two outlets at Bugis and Kovan and show them some love while you still can! As Yap shared in her video, let’s “make the best out of our time that we have left together.”

Legally Blonde – The Musical

Based on the novel and film of the same name, Legally Blonde – The Musical, takes audiences into the story of Elle Woods, an unapologetically stylish and confident girl on her journey through law school. 

This beloved tale about beating stereotypes, finding friendships, and believing in oneself, became an instant classic in the early 2000s. Now, through this musical, it has been given a modern reimagining, complete with high-energy songs, exciting choreography, peak humour, and more pink. 

What makes the Singapore run of this musical extra special is that it stars Singaporean West End star Nathania Ong as the main character, and other local actors and singers in supporting roles. Nathania has been celebrated in recent years for playing roles in the West End productions of Les Misérables and Hamilton.

Her take on the fearless new Elle Woods, alongside performances by other local talents like Nathan Hartono, Pierre Png, and more, will surely be worth catching — especially if you love musicals. 

Legally Blonde – The Musical runs from now till 16 August 2026. Make sure to book your tickets quickly if you’d like to catch a show before it ends. You can also use your SG Culture Pass credits if you’d like to!

The old-school coffeeshop and confectionery has become a local breakfast spot for generations, creating a heritage that spans 101 years. For a century, Chin Mee Chin had only one outlet — that is — until it recently started a new chapter with its second outlet ever.

Chin Mee Chin opened its doors at NEX on 8 August 2026, bringing their classic Singaporean breakfast to Serangoon. Whatever is available at Katong can also be found here. From classic Toast Sets (S$6.50) to familiar fresh bakes like the Otah Bun (S$2.80), North-Easties will now be able to experience the same flavours the century-old bakery was built on.

However, there are also new items to explore on Chin Mee Chin’s menu at NEX. This includes the Curry Potato Pie (S$3.80), Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken Cutlet (S$10.80), and Grilled Kaffir Lime Chicken Sandwich (S$8.80).

The Kaya Custard Choux au Craquelin, filled with the confectionery’s signature house-made kaya custard, and the Dark Chocolate Choux au Craquelin, both add to the dessert selection at S$3 per piece, or at S$10 for a box of four.

And of course — you can’t have a complete meal at Chin Mee Chin without ordering a cup of coffee. Beyond the usual kopi and teh choices, diners can also look forward to beverages such as the Kaya Cloud Kopi (S$5.50) and Salted Gula Melaka Cloud Kopi (S$5.50). 

If you live in Serangoon, or often pass by NEX, you now have another breakfast and all-day kopitiam option. The new space also pays homage to the original outlet at Katong through its interiors and decorations, transporting you to a time-honoured shophouse experience without leaving the shopping mall.

Gather your fellow coffee buddies and bread enthusiasts, and plan your next catch-up session at Chin Mee Chin!
