Calling all single ladies and gents! If you haven’t found the love of your life and you’re up for some fun this Valentine’s, Valentine Vendetta might just be your cup of tea!

Bitter No More

As we’re nearing V Day, it’s hard for us single people to not get bitter.

Your Facebook news feed is probably full of Valentine’s Gift Guide, Valentine’s Date Ideas, Valentine’s Flowers, etc. And everything starts looking as if it was curated for couples.

If you’re planning to take a day off from social media this Valentine (no thanks to streams of lovey-dovey photos on Instagram), here’s a better suggestion:

Put the envy and bitterness aside and let’s all mingle at Valentine Vendetta!

Valentine Vendetta

Specially planned for singles, Valentine Vendetta is back for the 6th year with a Masquerade themed party.

This time round, the party will be held at the newly opened SKYLINE in Singapore Land Tower on Valentine’s Day.

We can’t guarantee that you’ll find your soul mate here but you’ll actually have the chance to win up to $10,000 worth of prizes!

No harm expanding your social circle or making new friends with the potential to be your V Day date next year.

Party With A View

Nestled comfortably on the 45th floor of Singapore Land Tower, the swanky Skyline presents a unique concept, combining outdoor rooftop experience with an indoor party-centric ultra-lounge.

While the faces of party guests may be covered by masks, the 360-degree view of the Central Business District will surely impress.

In Good Hands

Now in its 6th year, Valentine Vendetta has become one of the parties of the year.

Amoy St Bloc Party Is Not Holding Back! Feast, Explore And Chill Your Sunday Away

Amoy St Bloc Party is here to make sure your Sunday is a day of feasting, playing and drinking…in style!

[caption id="attachment_17707" align="alignnone" width="560"]Image source: Not on Orchard Image source: Not on Orchard[/caption]

Amoy Street has a special significance in our local culture and dining scene. More so with the recent move of many award-wning F&B brands to the area. As such, they’re throwing a welcome party, so you can get to know these new kids on the block!

The Fun Stuff

Set to take place on the 20th of November, the party will see Amoy Street transform into a street festival filled with fun, food, drinks and community activities.

Cool Music & Art Display

There will be a variety of vendors, exciting activities, and live performances featuring acts by DJ KFC and DJ Roscius hailing all the way from the UK.

[caption id="attachment_17711" align="alignnone" width="542"]Image source: Roscius Official Image source: Roscius Official[/caption]

For those who need their art fix, there will also be limited edition prints and paintings from local and uprising artists from The Artling along the street.

Get Your Fit On

We know too much good food will make you guilty, and guilty feet have got no rhythm!

That’s why one of the world’s faster growing studios, F45, is here to whip the guilt out of you.

[caption id="attachment_18456" align="alignnone" width="851"]Image source: F45 Image source: F45[/caption]

For the curious but intimidated, this is the perfect chance to try a HIIT class.

You’ll get a taste of a legit workout class in an all fun no stress environment. Just go with the flow and enjoy the good vibes.

Grow Your Own Edible Garden

Amoy St Bloc Party is not all about eating, drinking and dancing.

Besides taking home Instagram moments, you’ll head back with skills of growing your own edible garden.

[caption id="attachment_18457" align="alignnone" width="960"]Image source: Edible Garden City Image source: Edible Garden City[/caption]

Learn a trick or two from our favourite urban farming collective, Edible Garden City, to grow food at under-utilised spaces like roofs and sidewalks.

In-Car Party With Jeep

The best part of all, you can hop on the Jeep Wrangler and it will take you on a ride around the block!

[caption id="attachment_17709" align="alignnone" width="861"]Image source: Autoblog Image source: Image source: Uwishunu Image source:Image source: Paper Kitties Image source: Paper Kitties[/caption]

Their modern interpretation of Southeast Asian cuisines are executed using progressive techniques with a hint of Western influence.

While you’re at it, don’t forget to try their cocktails too.

2boCHINChe 

Fuelled by chef Diego Jacquet, boCHINChe is all about bold Argentinean flavours.

[caption id="attachment_17692" align="alignnone" width="593"]Image source: bochinchesg Image source: bochinchesg[/caption]

Just like us, Argentina is a melting pot of cultures and Argentineans loveeee their food. boCHINChe’s passion is reflected on their menu, prepare your palate for an explosion of flavours.

3. Employees Only (Cocktail Bar)

What?? A craft cocktail bar from New York is in Singapore?

[caption id="attachment_17693" align="alignnone" width="597"]Image source: asia.cocktails Image source: asia.cocktails[/caption]

Yes, and it’s one with unpretentious NY vibes, buzzing energy, shoulder shaking music, and mighty fine cocktail techniques (that’s what they’re famed for).

The place can get really busy but trust us, it’s worth the wait.

4. Le Binchotan

What do you get when you combine French and Japanese cuisine? Le Binchotan!

[caption id="attachment_17697" align="alignnone" width="594"]Image source: Franny Wanny Image source: Frannywanny[/caption]

Named after the white charcoal used to smoke French-Japanese tapas, this super chic eatery dishes some of the best skewers in town.

There’ll be 10% off selected sake bottles in conjunction with the Bloc party! Now, that calls for a Kampai!

5. Burger Joint

Dubbed the best burger in NYC, Burger Joint is all about yummy burgers done to perfection!

[caption id="attachment_17698" align="alignnone" width="480"]Image source: Kendricljx Image source: Kendricljx[/caption]

From cheese to portobello, and of course, bacon burger, their patties are extremely juicy and well seasoned. Top if off with craft beer (there’s a selection of 16 taps!) and that’s how every day should end.

6. Maggie Joan’s

Looking for Maggie Joan’s can be a lil tricky. It’s an underground Mediterranean restaurant located in the alleyway just off Gemmill Lane (literally a hidden gem).

[caption id="attachment_17699" align="alignnone" width="601"]Image source: glen_ballis_autopiloton Image source: glen_ballis_autopiloton[/caption]

Famed for their cosy ambience and gastronomical food, every dish here is so pretty that you’ll want to feed your camera first before digging in.

7. Gemmills

Gemmills has a split personality – it’s a cafe by day and a wine bar by night.

[caption id="attachment_17700" align="alignnone" width="597"]Image source: The Silver Chef Image source: The Silver Chef[/caption]

Expect a range of fresh pastries, sandwiches and coffee during the day and once the sun is down, bring the vinos out!

8. Birds of a Feather

Sichuan food can be a little intimidating. Just thinking about the flower pepper gives us chills!

[caption id="attachment_17702" align="alignnone" width="540"]Image source: Bing_leow Image source: Bing_leow[/caption]

But at Birds of Feather, the Sichuan-ness actually enhances the flavours of the Western cuisine served. And the ambience there will make you feel like you’re in Chengdu… well, minus the giant panda bears!

Party All Night

The event might start at 3pm, but once the sun is down (10pm onwards), step into Ding Dong as the playful restaurant space is reimagined into a retro dance floor on this day!

[caption id="attachment_17705" align="alignnone" width="776"]Image source: Ding Dong Image source: Ding Dong[/caption]

Bust a move to 80s and 90s hits at the afterparty and get a Ding Dong Daiquiri or two while you hit that high!
