October has come to a close and we have an ENTIRE month, or two if you count most of December, before Christmas hits our shores in full force.
November is a relatively lull month, so we’ve compiled a list of events and food for you to eat and party your way through to make it to December.
Time to power through to Christmas! Ready, set, party!

10. Cafe De Paris
If you’re a fan of sweets, specifically Korean desserts, then you’ll want to try Cafe De Paris.
With a few franchises in Canada, Hong Kong and China, the cafe is finally opening its doors in Singapore on 5 November.
They will be serving up photogenic selections of elegant cakes, fresh fruit bonbons (pictured above), cold brew coffee, healthy pressed juices, and premium teas.
The fresh fruit bonbons are only available for certain periods in a year as the cafe uses seasonal fruits specially imported from Korea.
You get to choose from the chocolate brownie, mango, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, and grape bonbons. Each one is hand-crafted and loaded with your selected fruit, non-dairy whipped cream, and slushie.
It takes a while to create each bonbon so expect to wait for a bit.
