Nothing To Watch At The Cinemas? Relive Iconic Studio Ghibli And Pixar Films At This Event In July

Are you a cinephile? Do you “curate” movies to watch?

If there’s nothing currently showing in the cinemas that interests you, how about going to a pop up cinema?

Organised by Funzing and Popcorn, the Popcorn Pop Up Cinema takes place on multiple days in a week, at multiple locations, each playing a different movie.

Pop Up Cinema Experience

Apart from their interesting choices for movies to show, another good thing about this pop up cinema is that it’s only $9 for a movie. Which is cheaper than what I usually pay for at Golden Village.

What’s more, if you buy their unlimited pass, you’ll be able to go for as many Pop Up Cinema screenings, Quiz Nights, and Funzing Talks within 30 days.

1 Unlimited pass is $16, 2 for $28, and a Family pack of 4 passes will be $48. You can purchase it here.

Old Chang Kee And Its Sister Brands Are Serving A Chilli Crab-Filled Menu From Now Till Aug 31

With National Day coming up, many restaurants are coming up with themed menu items to pay tribute to Singapore and Old Chang Kee is no exception.

This year, Old Chang Kee and its affiliated brands have come up with a Chilli Crab feast, with all things related to the beloved seafood dish.

Here’s what you can get.

Chilli Crab Feast With Old Chang Kee

All Outlets Islandwide

The first addition in the Chilli Crab Feast, is the Chilli Crab’O ($2.20).

This isn’t the first time that Old Chang Kee has released a Chilli Crab-flavoured curry puff. They did it back in 2014, though it didn’t have the red hue that this new one sports.

Another difference is that this new Chilli Crab’O uses real crab meat instead of the crabstick that was used in the previous one.

The Chilli Crab’O will be available at ALL Old Chang Kee outlets islandwide for a limited time only.

There’s also a promotion currently, where you can get 2 Chilli Crab’O for $4 (U.P: $4.40).

Old Chang Kee Flagship Coffeehouse @ Rex

The Old Chang Kee flagship coffeehouse at Rex will be introducing 2 new limited time menu items, the Flower Bread with Chilli Soft Shell Crab ($14.90) and the Mussels with Chilli Crab Sauce ($14.90).

Old Chang Kee’s signature flower bread is great for dipping in the chilli crab sauce.

The best part is that the dish uses soft shell crab so it’s easy to eat. Because we all know that the most troublesome part of eating chilli crab is prying the flesh from the crab.

The Flower Bread with Chilli Soft Shell Crab is great for sharing. If you’re not a big fan of crab, go for the Mussels with Chilli Crab Sauce.

These 2 dishes are exclusive to the Old Chang Kee flagship coffeehouse at Rex.

Old Chang Kee Coffee House
Address: 19/21/23 Mackenzie Road #01-01, Singapore 228678
Opening Hours: Mon – Thu: 11am – 9pm, Fri – Sat: 10am – 10pm, Sun: 10am – 9pm
Contact no.: 6732 1665

Old Chang Kee @ Kallang Wave

You’ve heard of Lobster Nasi Lemak and other gimmicks, now get ready for Chilli Soft Shell Crab Nasi Lemak ($11.90).

Soft shell crab drenched in their special chilli crab sauce, served with coconut rice, ikan bilis and peanuts, a fried egg, and sambal chilli.

This new dish is exclusive to the newly opened Old Chang Kee outlet at Kallang Wave Mall and will be available for a limited time only.

Old Chang Kee @ Kallang Wave
Address: Kallang Wave, 1 Stadium Place, #01-20/#01-K9, Singapore 397628
Contact no.: 6702 3148

Curry Times

Yet another Chilli Soft Shell Crab dish, this time it’s Soft Shell Crab Noodles with Chilli Crab Sauce ($14.90).

Thick bee hoon (like the kind you have in your fried fish soup) is cooked in their special chilli crab sauce, and served with crispy soft shell crab.

This will be exclusive to Curry Time outlets for a limited time only.

Pillow soft bun filled with chilli crab sauce and REAL crab meat. It’s both the chilli crab AND the mantou.

Sounds good already.

Get yours exclusively at Bun Times for just $2!

You can choose from their QQ Fries, Chicken Skin, Chicken Pop, Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Chunks, and even Baby Squid!

They have 6 dipping sauces for you to choose from – Fiery Chilli, Honey Mustard, Wasabi, Cheddar Cheese, Barbecue, and Teriyaki.

Now they’re adding a new sauce to the menu for a limited time. It’s Chilli Soft Shell Crab Dip!

If you’re sick of dipping mantou into chilli crab sauce, then you should try dipping chicken nuggets instead.

Try the Chilli Soft Shell Crab sauce exclusively at Dip ‘N’ Go.

Old Chang Kee’s Curry Day too!

Dare To Take A Walk Through Hell? Go On Haw Par Villa’s 2-Hour Twilight Tour After Dark

When I was younger, my mother used to tell me tales of how misbehaving kids, sinners, and criminals would be tortured in Hell.

Growing up Taoist, I’ve heard of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, as well as the Ten Courts of Hell. I’m still not sure which is right, and I doubt anyone living really does. I would very much like for it to remain this way.

[caption id="attachment_35677" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: @hawparvilla.sg[/caption]

Point is, if you want a well-behaved child below the age of 10, then this is probably the best (read: traumatising) parenting power move you can execute.

If you’re wondering how my mother did it, allow me to introduce this quaint little theme park in Pasir Panjang.

[caption id="attachment_31107" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons[/caption]

Enter Haw Par Villa.

Singapore’s Only Free Theme Park

Previously known as Tiger Balm Gardens, Haw Par Villa is an Asian cultural park that’s a treasure trove of Asian philosophy, culture, and religion that was built way back in 1937 by millionaire philanthropist Aw Boon Haw.

[caption id="attachment_34378" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Image Credit: Wikipedia[/caption]

The park is filled with various statues and sculptures that detail specific aspects of Taoism.

While entry to the park is free, you can also choose to join their daily guided tour for a small fee of $10 per adult or $5 per child.

There is also another guided tour that takes you through Haw Par Villa’s most well-known attraction, the Ten Courts of Hell.

Twilight Tour: Journeys To Hell

As its name suggests, the Twilight Tour takes you through Haw Par Villa, The Hell’s Museum and into the Ten Courts of Hell.

[caption id="attachment_35676" align="aligncenter" width="2048"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Image Credit: @hawparvilla.sg[/caption]

Every detail is vividly captured in the sculptures that line the tunnel. You’ll also come face to face with the King of Ghosts, and also discover his backstory of how he got his title.

You’ll also get to visit the Aw family memorials.

The tour takes place every Friday from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Ticket prices are $20 per adult and $10 for children aged 7 to 12. If you’re a student, present your student card to the tour guide and get your ticket at the promotional student price of $15!

The Singapore Zoo Lights Up At Night This July With A New Luminous Rainforest Trail

Have you been to the Singapore Zoo at night?

I’m not talking about the Night Safari. I mean, the Singapore Zoo. Usually, you won’t. Or rather, you can’t because the Zoo closes at 6pm daily.

From 1 July 2018, you can!

The Singapore Zoo has come up with a new attraction in celebration of its 45th birthday!

Introducing Rainforest Lumina.

A Rainforest Light Show In The Dark

Held in collaboration with Moment Factory, Rainforest Lumina is apparently the first multi-sensory night walk experience in Asia, with more than 10 interactive zones along the 1km light trail that takes you through the Singapore Zoo.

However, don’t expect to see any live animals (they’re off-duty). The only animals you’ll see are on the various light installations or projections.

With zones that look like they’re lifted straight out of James Cameron’s 2009 film, Avatar, this is guaranteed to be a luminescent spectacle.

Stroll on the Luminous Pathway, step through the Shimmering Islands, and marvel at the glowing Lantern Passage.

Check out the trailer for Rainforest Lumina below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M8WmEeh7Xk

There are 7 timeslots available per night, and ticket prices are $22 for adults and $16 for children between ages 3 and 12.

You may purchase your tickets here.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the Singapore Zoo in the dark so gather the family and take the kids to Rainforest Lumina this July!

Rainforest Lumina
Venue: Singapore Zoo, 80 Mandai Lake Road
Date: From 1 July 2018
Price: Adult: $22, Child (3 – 12 years old): $16
