We’re talking limited-edition baseball caps, reusable totes, and other lifestyle goodies inspired by their viral comfort food adventures. While you shop and maybe grab a selfie with the duo, enjoy tasty bites and drinks from Ugli Sabi and Dilly Deli (because shopping is hard work and one needs snacks).

Starring Singapore’s own Martin Ng alongside international talents, this production at the historic Victoria Theatre will send shivers down your spine. The plot follows Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s bloody climb to power (a.k.a. why you shouldn’t listen to spooky prophecies). Come for the sweeping Verdi score, stay for the powerhouse vocals and eerie atmosphere – it’s a classy way to get your weekend dose of drama. Dressing up in your finest to attend is optional, but we say go for it – when shall we three meet again? At the opera, of course.
