Say goodbye to boring weekends with our guide!
By Pamela Chow and Samantha Francis
The best things to eat, see and do this weekend.
1. Pretty (delicious) handcrafted popsicles
Ice popsicles are the perfect way to cool down on a sweltering hot day. Indulge in one (or two!) at I SEE i SEE, a handcrafted ice pop brand from Hong Kong, now at 313@Somerset’s Food Hall. Expect a variety of fruit and milk-based ice pops in flavours such as Earl Grey Pistachio, Cheesy Raspberry, Refreshing Kiwi and Strawberry Hokkaido Milk.

3. Asian-inspired cocktails and Peranakan bar bites
Running out of Saturday night plans? We’ve got you! Check out Black Nut, a new Asian-themed restaurant and bar located at Emerald Hill. The bar spans a 2-storey Peranakan shophouse complete with chinoiserie decor including colourful oriental brollies and peonies. You’ll also find inventive cocktails named after famous Asian colloquial phases — Steady Pom Pipi, Chut Pattern and Huat Ah served alongside dishes like Peranakan Hot Wings and Balinese Ribs.

4. Upcycle your wardrobe
Get more out of your clothes without breaking the bank by upcycling them – taking existing garments and transforming them into something new.
Bring two or three old garments and explore different techniques to breathe new life into them. Agatha of Green Issues by Agy will share tricks on how to make your clothes last longer.

5. Paint old-school snacks in watercolour
Book yourself into this super fun and yummy workshop – think old-school push-pops, White Rabbit candy, Haw Flakes, Twisties and Mamee, painted onto archival quality English, Italian and Australian papers.
Each attendee will receive their very own watercolouring kit which they can then bring home and continue painting with after the class.
Bring along at least 4 to 5 local snacks of your choice. The more the merrier!

6. Watch your favourite Noose characters live
“The Noose” is going from the small screen to a stage performance, accompanied by some of the best stand-up comedians from Singapore and Malaysia, such as Kumar and Harith Iskander.
They will cover hot topics on both sides of the causeway, including that certain neighbour who has been so generous in providing both countries with 11 months of fresh air annually.

7. Visit a new family attraction
Create your own fantasy at Mosh!, Singapore’s first digital media edutainment facility. Orchestrate fireworks, create one-of-a-kind aquatic creatures, or launch a jumbo jet with just your hand using latest state-of-the-art multimedia technology.
