Things are going well for Castlery. On top of launching a new showroom in New York City later this month, the homegrown furniture brand also managed to snag a Red Dot in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 for its Hugg and Tovi collections. Fyi, the Red Dot Award is one of the world’s most internationally respected design competitions, widely regarded as a benchmark of design excellence.<\/p>\n

Castlery’s Red Dot win is a rare hat-trick, marking the brand’s third major award for the Hugg collection following its success at the Good Design Awards 2025 and the iF Design Awards 2026. A huge round of applause for Castlery, everyone!<\/p>\n

2. Feast on elevated halal food in Yishun<\/h3>\n

Next stop: a new dining destination in northern Singapore. Get hyped for Kopitiam<\/a>‘s Bagus Food Hall @ Northpoint City, the first elevated fully halal food hall in the country. There are 12 curated concepts to choose from, including Japanese food, Korean offerings, and even Vietnamese cuisine. One must-try stall is Sedap Kitchen \u2013 it looks like your typical nasi padang spot, but it’s not. Diners will be tucking into lighter yet hearty flavours.<\/p>\n

\"Bagus

The food hall’s look is inspired by Malay heritage, featuring warm earthy tones, natural textures, and fluid lines. Look out for Ulam-ulaman, an illuminated overhead installation by local Malay artist Hafizah, near the entrance. Oh, depending on where you access the food hall, you might come across a canopy of colour-changing LED lanterns. They’re mesmerising\u2026<\/p>\n

3. Get ready to sing along to the Elephant Love Medley<\/h3>\n
\"Moulin

Musical fans in Singapore<\/a>, this is the day you’ve been waiting for. Tickets for Moulin Rouge! The Musical<\/a> are now on sale! Grab yours now via Marina Bay Sands Ticketing<\/a>, Sistic<\/a>, or Klook<\/a>, and enjoy discounts up to 20%. And if you’re lucky, you might just win a pair of return flights to Paris \u2013 the very city that inspired the production.<\/p>\n

The winner will be announced on Base Entertainment Asia’s Instagram on 1 July 2026. The Singapore season of the musical will commence on 16 February 2027 at Sands Theatre.<\/p>\n

4. \u2018Protein maxxing\u2019 just got a whole lot easier<\/h3>\n
\"FarmFresh

Now, getting your protein in isn\u2019t just for the gym bros and muscle mommies. PSA: Singapore\u2019s Health Promotion Board recommends average folks to get at least 0.8 to 1.2g of protein daily for every kilogram of body weight to maintain muscle mass. But hey, with FarmFresh and Olagu\u2019s latest ready-to-eat protein range<\/a>, hitting that goal won\u2019t be difficult. This halal-certified range lets you get your protein in easily without sacrificing taste.<\/p>\n

Available at various convenience stores, supermarkets, and online delivery platforms like Mr Farmer, the range ($3 each) includes the OG chicken breast in six flavours like Hainanese, herbs and Himalayan pink salt, alongside new fish and duck options. Rotate among the gourmet white fish in three variations (chilli lime, chimichurri and herbs) or the smoked duck breast in two variations (original and skewered), and say bye to boring protein-loaded meals!<\/p>\n

5. Did somebody say private cinema club?<\/h3>\n

We’ve heard of private social clubs in Singapore<\/a>, but a cinema club? That’s new\u2026 and we’re digging it. Meet The Clarity Club<\/a>, the city’s first private cinema club located in Henderson. This new spot offers a more exclusive alternative to the usual cinemas in Singapore<\/a> \u2013 perfect for stylish date nights, serious cinephile discussions, private gatherings, and more.<\/p>\n

The focal point of the space is the Grand Theatre, which features a 200-inch 4K screen, a 9.4.6 Dolby Atmos sound system, and a high-end KTV system. Meanwhile, the Crema, aka the lounge near the entrance, is fitted with a 115-inch display and a retro gaming set-up. So if you want an elevated, intimate viewing experience, you know where to look.<\/p>\n
