It’s 2025; we’re no longer counting down to Fridays. Here’s where to go after hours to make every weeknight feel like a weekend!
Let’s be real. No matter how long you’ve been in the corporate grind, the countdown to Friday and the weekend always hits differently. But who says the fun has to wait till the weekend? Bring the TGIF spirit to your weeknights with the right plans. Whether it’s satisfying cravings, indulging in retail therapy, or having fun with the whole family, Millenia Walk is the place to be after hours and on weekends. Here are six ways to relax after clocking out – and make every weeknight feel like a weekend!
1. Chill out with hearty Italian fare
Nothing says relaxation more than good grub and better conversations. Round up your office crew for a hearty Italian feast at this cosy restaurant. From authentic handcrafted pizzas to tantalising starters and pastas, PizzaExpress dishes out a mouth-watering selection that will leave you wanting more.
For the star of your feast, choose among thin, crisp Romana pizzas, Romana Grande pizzas, and classics like margherita and hot honey pizzas. (Or, if in doubt, get them all.) Complete the spread with homely pasta dishes (think linguine al granchio and penne arrabiatta), as well as crowd-favourite starters. And don’t forget to save room for desserts – we have our eye on the fudgy Big Bad Brownie that looks oh-so-irresistible…

2. Shop up a storm
Retail therapy – or mere window shopping – ranks high in our list of ways to unwind. To unleash those shopping endorphins, head to the sprawling, multi-storey Harvey Norman store at Millenia Walk. As the brand’s flagship store in Singapore, it offers a refreshed shopping experience, including exclusive concept areas, innovative technology zones and an expanded premium catalogue.
You’ll first be greeted by a premium concept collaboration with SMEG on level one. A first in Asia, the collaboration features the captivating Blu Mediterraneo and La Pavoni showcases. Over at the LG IT concept corner, you’ll find immersive experiences that let you see how its technology products connect with your lifestyle.
Next, head to level two for an extensive furniture range, featuring well-loved German brand, Hilker, alongside Italian brands Saporini, Nicolette, Cubo Rosso and ALF. Recliners from renowned brands like La-Z-Boy, IMG and Stressless are also exclusively available here. The exploration continues on level three, where Singapore’s widest bedding selection awaits. Boasting over 100 mattresses and bed frames, the selection features popular brands like Eclipse, King Koil and Sealy – each with a private gallery, no less.

3. Nourish your body with fresh salads
After a hectic day, your body deserves a little TLC – and sometimes, a fresh and nourishing meal is what you need to recharge. Say hello to nutritious bowls of greens from Six Hands that are a far cry from the joyless salads you know. Founded by the team behind crowd-favourite spots Omote and Umai, Six Hands brings a modern Japanese-Australian spin to its salads.
Put together your ideal bowl of fresh greens and protein, or choose from its six signature bowls that each promise a flavour explosion. Popular picks include The Best Salad, a well-balanced mix of textures and ingredients like seaweed salad, creamy avocado and poached chicken breast; Chillichanga Salmon, a beautifully grilled salmon steak with supergreens; as well as the vegetarian-friendly Eggplant Miso.

4. Stock up on groceries and gourmet treats
Here’s a sign of adulting: grocery shopping no longer feels like a chore but a therapeutic activity you look forward to. Imagine picking out the freshest produce, discovering new snacks, and curating your meals every week… Ah, sounds like bliss to us.
Tucked away in Millenia Walk, premium Japanese supermarket Meidi-Ya is one of our go-to places for kitchen and pantry stock-ups. Browse its ready-to-eat selection for sushi, onigiri and other quick bites that can take you from desk to after hours. The supermarket is also stocked with a wide variety of artisanal treats, gourmet groceries and hard-to-find Japanese condiments to elevate your next homecooked meal. And if a post-work wind-down is what you’re after, be sure to grab a few sake bottles on your way out.

5. Treat yourself to a soul-soothing feast
How about hitting reset with a meal that feels like a warm, cosy hug? Millenia Walk is home to an array of cafes and restaurants, but Cafe Jubilant comes to mind for a heartwarming meal. Peek at the menu, and you’ll find a mix of Chinese, Western and international cuisines. Think fragrant nasi lemak with crispy chicken, cheese baked chicken chop spaghetti, and steaming hotpot and claypot dishes – exclusively available after 5pm for the dinner crowd.
Another must-visit for comforting fare? Donergy, a casual restaurant known for satisfying Turkish cuisine and warm hospitality. Sink your teeth into the signature Doner kebabs stuffed to the brim with rice, greens and meats, or the handcrafted pides – Turkish flatbread topped with ingredients like chicken, beef and minced lamb.
Oh, and don’t leave without trying the bozbash. A traditional Azerbaijan dish, this hearty beef stew brings comfort in every spoonful. We hear it’s the only place in Singapore where you can find this dish!

6. Bring the little ones out for quality time
If you think Millenia Walk is just an after-hours spot on weekdays, think again. Come weekends, it’s a vibrant retail and dining destination that caters to all ages. Bring your little ones along for a family day out, complete with kid-friendly restaurants and stores to visit.
Have a young, aspiring pianist in the family? Pianoland is the place to check out. Here’s where you’ll find a range of high-quality acoustic and digital pianos designed to fit seamlessly into modern homes. We’re talking about Steinway-designed Boston and Essex upright and grand pianos, along with Dexibell, a world-class digital piano handcrafted in Italy. Come by to have a feel of the offerings – and perhaps bring one home as a gift for the kiddos!
