Until 31 May 2026, the Entrepôt Restaurant is collaborating with Chef Nat from Thailand, alongside Meat and Livestock Australia, to bring us this weekend buffet. Chef Nat, widely reputed as The Lady Butcher, is renowned for her mastery of red meats. One of her hallmarks is her Thai-inspired recipes, combining their bold, layered flavours with Western cooking techniques.

As she introduces these flavours in the buffet, you’ll now get the opportunity to try them right here in Singapore. From marinated cuts to original recipes, here’s a bit of what you can expect.

Meat cuts

Kicking things off is an amuse-bouche—a beef croquette inspired by the sharp citrusy flavours of Larb, a minced-meat salad commonly found in Northeast Thai cuisine. 

Next, you can expect a variety of marinated cuts, with the beef and lamb fully infused with vibrant, tangy, and fiery sauces. For those unfamiliar with the gamey taste of lamb, these flavoured meats are a great way to introduce it to your palate.

You may be worried that the affordable price translates to lower-quality meat, but fret not. The selection features premium cuts such as Australia Teys Black Angus Grain Fed 100 Days Angus Ribeye, Australia Teys Black Angus Grain Fed 100 Days Angus Striploin, and Australia Thomas Food Lamb Baby Ribs. 

You can even opt for an Australia Carrara Wagyu Beef Skirt Steak MS6/7 with a top-up of $18 per 160g. 

Just in case you can’t get enough of the addictive Thai flavours, there will also be 4 sauces for you to pair with your meats: Nam Jim Jaew, Thai Chimichurri, Peppercorn Demi-Glace Sauce, and Mint Jelly.

Other selections and beverages

Balancing out the hearty spread is a selection of hot and cold sides, including seasonal salads, grilled satay, Australian beef stew, and other dishes to round off the feast. Finally, finish off your meal with a soothing dessert like the Chilled Lemongrass Yuzu Jelly, among other options.

Free-flow beverage packages are available with the non-alcoholic option starting from S$12++, featuring soft drinks and juices. You can also get unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at S$38++, which even comes with a DIY cocktail station that lets you mix up your own concoction. 

Buffet prices and key information

Lunch is priced at S$48++, and dinner is priced at S$58++. Considering the impressive spread, premium cuts, and chef collaboration, it’s definitely a steal.

There’s a 90-minute dining limit, but it still gives you plenty of time to work through multiple rounds and fully maximise the buffet experience.

So if you’ve been looking for an excuse to indulge in premium steaks without burning a hole in your wallet, this limited-time buffet is one to bookmark. With bold Thai-inspired flavours, quality Australian meats, and free-flow drinks to top it all off, it’s easily one of the most value-for-money meat feasts to check out this May.

What makes this mall so unique is its past life as the former Nan Chiau High School building. Believing in the beauty of old architecture, this project breathed new life into the heritage site while preserving the culture and history it represents.

Personally, the venture was a success; while the graphics and stores felt trendy and appealing, the familiar school stairwell and narrow corridors kept its past alive and intact. And while various modern concept stores piqued our interest, the exploration still left us with a sense of nostalgia. 

Food and Beverage

The Coconut Club 

In an effort to highlight local culture, the mall houses many homegrown brands, one being The Coconut Club. The store was bathed in warm orange lights, decorated with woven chairs, baskets, and decor that gave it a resort-like feel. 

Menu-wise, they sell local cuisine such as Singaporean Seafood Laksa (S$26) and Signature Ayam Goreng Berempah (S$21). Although prices are steep, they justify it with their locally and ethically sourced produce, supporting small businesses and sustainable practises.

Huevos 

Huevos is a Mexican food store that’s been pulling in crowds and racking up rave reviews since its opening in 2021. New Bahru is its second location and leans more towards a hip, trendy vibe with its mural-covered walls, fairy lights, and rustic touches.

The store is well-known for its authentic Mexican dishes. Some of the absolute classics you must try are the Birria Beef Tacos (S$21.90 ), Baja Fish Tacos (S$21.90), and Loaded Nachos (S$24). 

For drinks, they keep the fiery Mexican spirit alive with Frozen Pina Colada Jugs (S$50), Horchata, a cinnamon rice milk (S$8.90), a Margarita Jug (S$50), and more. Share a jug between your friends, and you’re guaranteed some good times and good vibes. 

Lifestyle and fashion stores

Crafune

Crafune is another local brand that aims to share the therapeutic act of leather crafting through workshops. They offer a variety of fun options, such as the Sea Turtle Mirror Bag Charm (S$75), Stingray Luggage Tag (S$75), Baya Bag (S$195), and more. 

They also carry a range of unique leather products, including Xiao Long Bao Handbags (S$180) and Mini Totes (S$98). Between the cute designs and the interesting workshops, this is one store we definitely recommend checking out.

The Missing Piece

The Missing Piece caught our eye with its elegant storefront and stylish apparel. Specialising in women’s wear, the brand draws inspiration from Asian heritage and botanical elements. 

Among its standout pieces is the Signature Lace Cut-Out Cheongsam with Sleeves (S$280), an intricate and beautifully crafted design. With its distinct aesthetic, it’s a spot fashion lovers won’t want to miss.

Entertainment  

Woods in the Books 

Woods in the Books is a homegrown independent bookstore specialising in picture books and illustration-led titles. A great stop for families, the vibrant space is filled with colours and crafts, with shelves stacked full of charming, artful books.

From imaginative stories to educational picks, each book is brought to life through engaging visuals that keep readers hooked. One standout is A History of the World in 500 Maps, which breaks down complex historical events into digestible, visually compelling formats.

TopTable

TopTable is a playful, one-of-a-kind concept that blends dining with games, reimagining the classic sport of table tennis into a social experience. The lively space invites guests to rally, dine, and unwind all in one spot.

Beyond its professional-grade tables, the venue also serves up Neapolitan-style pizzas, bar bites, and creative cocktails—perfect for fuelling friendly competition. Whether you’re planning a casual hangout or a group outing, TopTable delivers a fun and energetic experience.

New Bahru also has its own shuttle service that departs every 30minutes, timing may vary due to road conditions. The pick-up is at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, which is along Somerset Road. 

Blending heritage with a fresh lineup of homegrown brands, New Bahru offers a mall experience unlike any other in Singapore. Whether you’re here for the food, shopping, or simply to soak in its nostalgic vibes, it’s well worth a visit.

Expect a solid lineup of steaks, from the Prime Striploin (S$19.90) to a showstopping Black Angus Tomahawk (S$118.90). Each cut is cooked on a Josper grill, giving the meat a deep, smoky char.

The post Where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo 2026 in Singapore: from rooftop parties to $8 burritos appeared first on Confirm Good.

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)
• VivoCity Amphitheatre (15 May 2026)
• Toa Payoh Central (16 May 2026)
• Kreta Ayer Square (17 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. If dance and Chinese culture are something you’ve always wanted to learn more about, this is a unique opportunity to experience them in-depth.

There’s also a 30-minute talk-demonstration, where Professor Ma shares insights into the philosophy and techniques behind Kunwu Dance. It’s perfect if you’re keen to learn more but can’t join the dance workshop.

As a cornerstone of local culture, many hawkers have quietly preserved generational recipes that have stood the test of time. While many of us grew up enjoying their fare, few truly realise the history and significance behind each plate. 

A stall rooted in heritage 

Xin Sheng Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker is one example. The stall started as a humble street food stand in the 1950s, selling its food out of a simple wooden cart. Today, the family business has passed on to its 3rd generation. Their two stalls are now manned by 2nd-generation owner Anthony Low, who runs the store in Boon Lay, and 3rd-generation owner Matthew Liu, who runs the store in Taman Jurong. 

To this family, their food serves as a connection to the older generation of Singaporeans, many of whose childhoods were shaped by these traditional, crispy golden snacks. Even now, as the culinary scene evolves to accommodate new trends and dietary fads, they take pride in sharing their traditional roots while embracing change to stay relevant.

Fresh from the wok

The Ngoh Hiong store draws customers in with an appealing display that includes Prawn Crackers, Taiwanese Sausages, Chicken Wings, and, of course, Ngoh Hiong—a Hokkien or Teochew dish made with minced pork or prawn, wrapped in tofu skin and deep-fried.

Customers can grab a pair of tongs and pile their plates with their favourites. The selection is then deep-fried in a massive wok, cut into bite-sized pieces, and served piping hot with a side of chilli and sweet sauce. To complement the fritters, the store sells Bee-Hoon, whose mellow flavour and soft texture perfectly balance out the flavourful fried bites.

Signature picks 

If you visit, some must-try dishes include the signature Ngoh Hiong, which has a juicy, meaty centre that explodes with flavour behind a crisp exterior. Their Crispy Prawn Cracker offers a satisfying crunch along with a delightful briny taste. The Spring Rolls and Yam Rolls offer a delightful contrast with their light, crisp exterior and soft, flavourful inside. While deep-fried, they still maintain an airiness and don’t feel too greasy. 

In a culinary scene where food trends come and go, stalls like Xin Sheng Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker carry decades of tradition and history. If you’re looking to experience an authentic old-school hawker experience, this stall is definitely worth visiting.
