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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

2. boCHINChe 

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

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?

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!

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!

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).

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.

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!

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!

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

What are you waiting for? Get your peeps together and start planning your Amoy St Bloc Party trail.

Style With An Edge – Hardy Hardy F/W 2016 Will Bring Out Your Rebellious Side

Singapore Fashion Week has just passed us and while there were some amazing eye catching collections on the runway, one particular collection that caught our attention is Hardy Hardy!

Hardy Hardy is all about embracing the young, spirited and rebellious wearer. While the street wear label does have a Dawn of the the Dead signature logo that is quite reminiscent of Ed Hardy’s skull motif, Hardy Hardy embodies a sense of urban cool than is pretty far from Ed Hardy’s signature looks.

Hardy Hardy Fall/Winter 2016 Collection 

After taking a sneak peak at their Fall/Winter 2016 Collection, we must admit Hardy Hardy has definitely set a new bar for edgy cool street wear. While some of you might deem the street wear label as too dark and edgy for daily wear, you’d be surprised! Most of Hardy Hardy’s pieces are really versatile and gives your outfit the perfect edgy feel! Here are some pieces from the Fall/Winter 2016 Collection that are actually incredibly wearable (and they look amazing)!

Let’s be honest, there’s really nothing more versatile than a denim jacket! Trade your regular blue denim jacket for this beauty! The metallic studs just gives off whole ‘kick ass’ vibe, pair with a summer dress if you’re feeling a little rebellious or dress up a laid back t-shirt and jeans look! Either way, this piece is a must have in any wardrobe!

Edgy cool doesn’t always meaning donning an all-black outfit. Pairing their monochromatic outfits with pops of colour and we must say it looks amazing! And that velvet bomber jacket? It’s on our official Christmas Wishlist!

The label’s Men’s Collection is all about all black urban cool ensemble. The men’s collection embodies a sense of mental toughness with a slight underlining vibe of poetic romanticism. Black studded and bomber jackets were a favourite feature at the brand’s Fall/Winter 2016 show, with minimal detailing and a rugged finish we can see why!

Hardy Hardy Signature Logo

Looking to stand out from the crowd? With brand’s  jacket embossed with the brand’s signature logo you’ll definitely be the envy of the crowd! Paired with a simple t-shirt and jeans or with a flirty summer dress, either way this the only edgy cool jacket you’ll ever really need!

With versatile pieces that have the perfect balance of urban cool and street edge, Hardy Hardy is the perfect label to bring out the rebellious side of you!
