POP-UPS
Tsubaki's Camellia Courthouse
Tsubaki's Camellia Courtyard has bloomed into Plaza Singapura and is sleeker, shinier, and smelling like a good hair day bottled. Swing by to explore the brand’s refreshed collection of salon-grade shampoos, conditioners, and treatments, now housed in packaging as chic as the formulas are potent. Bonus: you’ll also get to sip on camellia tea (yes, the same ingredient behind your hair’s glow-up) and fold your way into serenity at their origami station.

EXHIBITIONS
Non c'è Rosa Senza Spine - A solo exhibition by Giovanni Leonardo Bassan
Giovanni Leonardo Bassan’s first solo exhibition in Singapore isn’t here to play it safe. Non c'è Rosa Senza Spine (“Ain’t No Roses Without Thorns”) peels back the layers of beauty and brutality through raw, figurative works that feel as classical as they do confrontational. The Paris-based Italian artist, who’s worked with Michele Lamy and currently heads Rick Owens’ furniture division, knows a thing or two about duality, and it shows. Think sacred versus savage, softness versus severity, oil paint versus emotional gut punch.
Non c'è Rosa Senza Spine - A solo exhibition by Giovanni Leonardo Bassan will be running till 30 May 2025 at the LOY Contemporary Art Gallery, Tudor Court. For more information, visit their website.
Yohji Yamamoto Photo Exhibition
The CLUB21 Four Seasons Pop-Up is set to transform into a monochrome dreamscape with the "Yohji Yamamoto Photo Exhibition". Expect a curated glimpse into the Japanese designer’s signature visual language of poetry in black, deconstructed silhouettes, and drama by way of drape. Alongside the images, the space will also feature the spring/summer 2025 womenswear and POUR HOMME collections, offering a rare chance to step into Yamamoto’s world.
The Yohji Yamamoto Photo Exhibition will be happening from 11 April to 21 April 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel. For more information, visit their website.

DINE OUT
The Prince's Easter Brunch
Egg hunts are cute, but four courses of modern Middle Eastern sharing plates, a kids’ buffet, and bottomless Aperol Spritz? Now that’s how you celebrate Easter. The Prince is throwing a heartwarming brunch with all the trimmings—mimosas for you, unlimited juices for the kids, and a cookie decorating corner to keep little hands busy while you soak it all in.
Easter Brunch at the Prince is happening on 20 April 2025 from 12 to 3pm. For more information, visit their website.
Ma Cuisine's Spring Menu
Ma Cuisine ushers in the season with a refresh of its spring menu. Think French classics with just the right amount of creative rebellion. Expect confit Jeju abalone to replace lamb in a reimagined Navarin d’Ormeau Printanier, and milk-fed sweetbreads paired with morels in a silky veal sauce. The cellar-first bistro’s 1,000-label wine list is the real flex: rare vintages, cult producers, and bottles you’ll only find if you know someone who knows someone. Luckily, the sommelier knows just what to pour.
Ma Cuisine is located at 38 Craig Road. For more information, visit their website.
Bar Somma's 'Nothing In Moderation'
Moderation? Never heard of her. Bar Somma’s new happy hour offering, cheekily titled Nothing in Moderation, is unapologetically indulgent. Order any martini and enjoy unlimited Lampredotto Panini—think slow-cooked veal tripe with green salsa, red sauce, and homemade focaccina. Equal parts hearty and hedonistic, it’s the kind of pairing that makes restraint feel overrated.
Bar Somma's "Nothing In Moderation" is available from Tuesday to Sunday, 6pm to 7.30pm at Bar Somma. For more information, visit their website.
Manhattan’s Sunday Cocktail Brunch
The city’s most decadent brunch is back. Manhattan’s famed adults-only Sunday Cocktail Brunch returns this April, this time with even more flair. Start with a Bloody Mary, boozy milkshake or spritz at one of the interactive stations, before diving into a New York-inspired spread featuring showstoppers like OP rib smoked in a Solera-Aged Negroni barrel—and yes, a whiskey chocolate fountain. Come hungry, leave a little tipsy.
Manhattan's Sunday Cocktail Brunch happens every Sunday, 12pm to 3pm at Manhattan, Conrad Singapore Orchard. For more information, visit their website.
PARTIES
SIRI HOUSE's Easter Backyard BBQ
SIRI HOUSE is dialling up the vibes this Easter with a sunshine-fuelled BBQ bash that has something for everyone—yes, even the family dog. Expect free-flow feasting, drink promos that are almost too good, and an all-female DJ lineup dishing out everything from Afro Beats to disco-drenched anthems. Little ones eat free (and get their own activities), while adults can hit the outdoor deck for an afternoon of funk, tech house, and probably one too many spritzes.
SIRI HOUSE's Easter backyard bbq on 18, 19 (11.30 am to 3.30 pm), and 20 April 2025 (11.30 am to 5pm). For more information, visit their website.
Sunda Festival 2025
Singapore’s coolest campout is here. From 18 to 19 April, Sunda takes over Sarimbun Scout Camp (the opening night is on17 April at MDLR) for a weekend of alternative music, forest air, and stylishly rugged fun. Think: live sets under the stars, songwriting and wellness workshops for the whole fam (yes, it’s kid-friendly), and a chance for you to justify that cargo vest you’ve been saving. Stay overnight in fan- or air-con-equipped A-Huts (ideal for six pax), or go full wild and pitch your tent.
Sunda will be happening from 17 to 19 April 2025 at MDLR, #02-00, 62 Cecil Street (Thursday) and at Sarimbun Scout Camp, 70 Jalan Bahtera (Friday and Saturday). For more information, visit their website.
MOVIES, SHOWS, & MUSIC
The Stolen Girl
It starts with a playdate and ends in every parent’s worst nightmare. The Stolen Girl follows Elisa, a mother of two, whose daughter vanishes after what seemed like an innocent sleepover. But when the charming new friend’s home turns out to be an empty luxury rental, the truth unravels fast. Gripping, chilling, and disturbingly plausible, this thriller is your next must-watch if you like your weekend suspense served with a side of parental panic.
The Stolen Girl is streaming on Disney+ now.
I'm Still Here (Ainda Estou Aqui)
Set in 1970s Rio de Janeiro, I’m Still Here (Ainda Estou Aqui) offers a deeply human portrait of one family living under Brazil’s military dictatorship. The Paivas — parents Rubens and Eunice and their five children— hold fast to joy and humour, even as the country’s political grip tightens. When a violent, state-sanctioned act rips their world apart, Eunice must find a way forward for her children and herself. Adapted from Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s acclaimed memoir, this poignant film is as much about political resistance as it is about love, loss, and survival.
I’m Still Here (Ainda Estou Aqui) is showing at both Gold Mile Tower and Cineleisure. For more information, visit their website.
Hyper Knife
Medical dramas are one thing, but Hyper Knife takes it to another level by injecting a dose of thriller, revenge, and high-stakes neurosurgery into its pulse-racing plot. Starring Park Eun-bin (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, The King’s Affection) as Jeong Seok, a neurosurgeon shunned from the medical world after uncovering a dark secret, and Sul Kyung-gu (Memoir of a Murderer, Oasis) as her former mentor, the series is a tension-filled masterpiece of skill, power, and retribution.
