How's your Monday so far? For those in Singapore, it’s the start of heightened alert measures and I guess we won’t be dining out for a bit… Hang in there everyone, we can do it!

Since having meals in restaurants isn’t going to be an option for a while, thought it would be apt to feast our eyes instead! Meet our friend Jon, a software engineer from NYC! After a year in Singapore and eating at 255 restaurants and a total of 37 Michelin stars, he shares with us his experiences and rounds up his top eats in our gastronomic city!

Have a great week ahead everyone!

We're one step closer to the weekend, and you know what this means! It's time for #friyaypoll again! "I don't know about you, but I'm dropping anchor right here in Singapore... I finally embraced the country that embraced me." - Actress Daisy Irani recounts her uniquely Singapore story. What's your uniquely Singapore memory even if you didn't grow up here?

This time, we want to know what're your fondest Singapore TV shows while growing up! And for our friends who are still getting familiar with Singapore, here's a snippet of our cherished local sitcoms, "in a time before smartphones, Instagram and Netflix".

Some of us might be watching drama reruns this weekend or spending time with our loved ones. No matter what you're doing or where you're, have a great week ahead!

How's your Monday so far? It's sweltering in Singapore!

It must be tough adapting to our weather for our expat friends who moved from a country with four seasons to Singapore, where it's either sunny or pouring! Meet Michael who grew up in Oklahoma, lived in Ukraine and Germany for some time, before finally moving to Singapore in 2020! He shares the incredible journey he’s taken together with his family.

Share this story with your friends, who are probably going through a similar experience. Have a great week ahead everyone!
