1. Prada Caffè ION Unveils Its Luminous Summer Menu
Summer arrives in style at Prada Caffè ION, where fashion meets gastronomy beneath the luminous interiors of Singapore’s ION Orchard. With the launch of its new summer menu, this sophisticated sanctuary invites guests to savour a vibrant medley of seasonal flavours—all set against a backdrop that honours Prada’s iconic design heritage: think green velvet accents, a black-and-white chequerboard floor echoing its Milanese roots, and an atmosphere perfect for any time of day.
The refreshed menu celebrates summer’s lighter side. Petite, perfectly crafted artisanal soft bread rolls filled with indulgent ingredients like smoked salmon, lobster, or burrata with roasted vegetables set the tone. Signature dishes include Salmon Gravlax with delicate zucchini ribbons, jewel-bright Burrata with beetroot carpaccio, and Roasted Octopus served atop luscious corn cream.
Sweet indulgence awaits at the pastry counter, where the Summer Panettone reimagines Milan’s iconic bake with candied apricot, lemon, and almond glaze. Stunning monoportion desserts complete the experience—each one a delicate balance of art and indulgence.
Prada Caffè ION’s summer menu is more than a seasonal update—it is an invitation to pause, indulge, and savour luxury in every detail. Whether escaping the Orchard bustle for a languid lunch or treating yourself to patisserie perfection, this is a summer affair where style and substance meet.

9. Night Safari Welcomes Four Tasmanian devils from Australia
As night falls in Singapore, four Tasmanian devils—Cogsworth, Lumière, Scuttle, and Cuttlefish—have arrived at Night Safari from Australia’s Aussie Ark. Part of the global Save the Tasmanian Devil Programme, their arrival boosts efforts to protect this endangered marsupial.
Though known for their fierce reputation, Tasmanian devils are shy scavengers native only to Tasmania and vital to the ecosystem. Visitors can get close to these unique animals, learn about their fight against a deadly facial tumour disease, and join the global conservation movement.
The Tasmanian Devil Trail also features exhibits with other unique Australasian species such as the kiwi, sugar glider, and woylie. Visitors can learn more during daily keeper talks along the trail. Starting 8 August, look forward to Hello from the Wild: Wallaby, an intimate encounter with Night Safari’s red-necked wallabies. During these sessions, participants can feed these gentle marsupials while keepers share fun facts about their habits and care.
This transfer highlights the power of international collaboration. In addition to these experiences, the trail is quickly becoming a hub for wildlife conservation in the region.
Night Safari is at 80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore 729826.
