Born out of a humble stall at Far East Plaza, this Born out of a humble stall at Far East Plaza, this Thai eatery built its reputation the old-school way. Word of mouth. Loyal fans. Long queues. And now, with a new outlet in the heart of Chinatown, the team brings that same heat and heart to a fresh space with more seats and no service charge.

At lunchtime, the scent hits before you see the counter. Basil, garlic, fish sauce. It’s comforting and sharp, like memories of a Bangkok back alley. The Pork Belly Krapow still steals the spotlight. Crackling skin. Tender meat. That spicy kick that catches you just after you smile. But it’s not the only star. The Drunkard Noodles are smoky and bold. The Green Curry with chicken melts with every spoon. Every dish carries that unmistakable wok hei. Each bite delivers full-bodied flavour, zero compromise.

And here’s the best part. No frills. No fluff. Just honest, fire-packed Thai food at prices that make you do a double take. Whether you’re craving something spicy, soulful or just real, this is where you go when your taste buds demand something unapologetic.

Hirono doesn’t run from fear—he hugs it. In th Hirono doesn’t run from fear—he hugs it.
In this limited Living Wild: Fight for Joy edition, he wears the bear that once scared him. And today, we unbox that courage.
It’s more than a plush. It’s a reminder that strength isn’t loud—it’s quiet, soft, and sometimes wears a fuzzy hood.

Let’s meet Hirono, one torch, one story at a time.

Happening 4 to 6 July at Haw Par Villa, Skechers S Happening 4 to 6 July at Haw Par Villa, Skechers Sundown Festival returns with a bold new identity. This year, it becomes Gaia — Asia’s first green Asian music festival. Three days of live acts, plant-based food, cultural showcases, and climate-forward thinking set in Singapore’s most surreal park.

Expect high-energy performances, immersive fringe art, and a strong stance on sustainability. No single-use plastics. No wasteful gimmicks. Just real efforts like composting, carbon tracking, and clean energy powering the entire space.

The Gaia zone takes things further with botanical elixirs, green talks, and Southeast Asia’s first Music Climate Action Summit. It’s where partying meets purpose. Even the glitter and confetti have gone eco.

Haw Par Villa adds its own flavour to the mix. Think ancient mythology, modern beats, and a crowd that’s here to celebrate culture and consciousness.

Tickets start from $65. Come for the music, stay for the movement. It’s time Singapore did festivals differently.

They say you can’t improve on classics. But what They say you can’t improve on classics. But what if you rolled them up, plated them on a sushi belt, and gave them a refresh?

To celebrate National Day, Sushi Express teams up with competitive eater and local icon Zermatt Neo to bring you the Zi Char Shiok Series. Think of it as zi char reimagined in bite-sized, belt-friendly form.

From now till 31 August, head down to any Sushi Express outlet and experience three flavour-packed creations:

• Salted Egg Abalone – grilled on the shell, rich and creamy, with just enough red chilli to remind you it’s serious
• Sweet & Sour Fish – juicy swordfish cubes meet pineapple, peppers and onions in a hanamaki roll that hits every nostalgic note
• Cereal Prawn – Argentine prawns grilled with garlic butter and dusted with cereal and salted egg for that sweet-salty crunch

And if that’s not enough, the Big Eater Challenge is on. Think you can beat Zermatt Neo’s plate count? You could walk away with your bill waived and a cool $500 cash. Runs every Wednesday from 9 July to 13 August, at selected outlets including Century Square and PLQ. Eat more plates than your height and the meal’s on the house.

This isn’t just a gimmick. Sushi Express uses fresh Norwegian salmon and Argentine shrimp in every plate, staying true to its roots of high quality at accessible prices.

They’ve landed. Swensen’s new UFO Burgers are They’ve landed. Swensen’s new UFO Burgers are here to crash your dinner plans in the best way possible. Think molten cheese “buns” grilled to golden perfection, pan-seared for crunch, and stacked high with bold fillings. Served sizzling in a hot pan, every bite stays warm and unapologetically messy.

You’ve got four out-of-this-world choices.
The Double Up UFO is a beast with two thick beef patties, barbecue sauce, and cheddar.
The Fried Chicken UFO delivers crisp chicken with fried egg and honey mustard mayo.
The Wagyu UFO goes premium with a truffle beef sauce twist.
And the Original keeps it old-school with juicy beef and American cheese.

Each burger comes with fries and coleslaw, starting at $15.99. It’s comfort food for the hungry, cheesy, and curious.

The UFO Burger is a Swensen’s first. And frankly, nothing else in town looks or tastes quite like it. No sad buns. No cold bites. Just full-on heat, cheese, and satisfaction in every pan.

Now available at all Swensen’s outlets for dine-in only.

Still holding on to your wired headphones? You’r Still holding on to your wired headphones? You’re not alone—and Razer’s giving you a solid reason to stay plugged in.

The Razer Hammerhead V3 Wired Earbuds are built for one thing: no-nonsense, reliable audio. Whether you’re jumping into a quick game, heading out for a flight, or just want to skip the Bluetooth pairing drama, these buds deliver rich, detailed sound straight from a 3.5 mm jack.

Packing 11 mm dynamic drivers, the V3 brings out clear highs and deep bass that don’t distort when you turn up the volume. They’re surprisingly powerful for something this light and travel-friendly. The passive noise isolation helps you stay in the zone, whether you’re commuting or catching up on podcasts.

What stands out? Comfort and control. The earbuds come with multiple silicone tips, and the cable is designed to resist tangles. The in-line mic and remote are perfect for calls, volume control, and skipping tracks without touching your phone. Plus, Razer includes a USB-C DAC adapter for phones without a headphone jack.

It’s the kind of gear that doesn’t try to be flashy. It just works. If you’re done with earbuds that randomly disconnect, die mid-call, or cost three times more for half the sound, this might be your next go-to.

• Razer Hammerhead V3
• Built for gaming, music, and everyday grind
• Bonus USB-C adapter included
