Head on up to Ce La Vi for Picnic in the Clouds, an adults-only picnic-style soiree set against spectacular views of Singapore’s backdrop. Held in partnership with Grey Goose, expect bottomless handcrafted cocktails, drinks and spirits. As for bites, munch on grub like house-made wraps, artisan sandwiches, charcuterie boards and desserts. Think pandan teacakes, toasted sesame scones with pecan praline and yuzu jam, and a candy floss cart. Oh, and you’ll also be entertained with quizzes and lucky draws.

5. Drink: Coffee Workshop
28 March, Sunday
Java junkies, take your love for coffee one step further with Chimichanga’s coffee workshop. Get acquainted with the origins of coffee, master the art of brewing the perfect cup of joe and even learn how to make your very own cold brew. You will also walk away with a bag of coffee beans to experiment at home.

6. Theatre: The Monster in the Mirror
All weekend
This musical is both a hilarious and touching musical about loving yourself. 16-year-old Jane’s got it hard. She’s constantly bullied in school, her overbearing mum scolds her at home and she’s troubled with self-critical voices in her head. Things take an interesting turn when she receives a magic mirror from a flamboyant Fairy God Delivery Beng. She comes face-to-face with a monster who’s been living inside her head all her life.

The themed cafe will take you on a virtual train ride along Sanriku Coast, Sendai City and Hirono Sea Urchin Farm. For a complete experience, the cafe will offer two delicious bento boxes (which are typically sold at Japan train stations), including Gyutan Ekiben (beef tongue) and Salmon Harako Ekiben.

9. Watch: A man waiting for the leaves to fall
All weekend
Get your dose of theatre with this virtual play. Presented by The Aesthetic Project and supported by the National Arts Council, A man waiting for the leaves to fall doesn’t involve dialogue nor actors.
