Famous Amos × SGFR: Dubai Chewy Cookies & Milo Crunchy Cookies Launch in Singapore!

Hi Huneybees,

You know that irresistible chocolate chip cookie aroma whenever you walk past a Famous Amos store? The kind that makes you slow down just to take another whiff? 🍪 Well, just when we thought Famous Amos cookies couldn't get any more tempting, they're officially entering their chewy era!

Our childhood favourite is getting a trendy makeover as Famous Amos teams up with homegrown snack brand SGFR for a delicious new collaboration launching on 13 October 2026!

We're talking chewy Dubai-inspired cookies with creamy kataifi centres, alongside chocolatey Milo cookies for those who love a good crunch. Sounds like we've got some major cookie-ercise ahead of us! 🍪💪

A Sweet Collaboration Between Two Familiar Names

For those unfamiliar with SGFR, it's a homegrown Singapore snack store founded by Mohamed Haikkel Firdaus. Originally a fishing gear business called SGFishingRigz, the brand made the switch to snacks and officially relaunched as The SGFR Store in July 2023.

Today, SGFR has grown to nine outlets across Singapore, bringing viral snacks, hard-to-find treats and its own creative snack creations to local shoppers.

And now, with Famous Amos joining the fun, it's bringing a little nostalgia into the world of trending treats!

Famous Amos Dubai Chewy Cookies: A Classic Gets a Chewy Makeover

If you've been following the Dubai chewy cookie craze, here's another reason to get excited!

SGFR is giving two of Famous Amos' classic flavours its signature Dubai Chewy Cookie treatment, bringing together three textures in every bite: a chewy exterior, creamy filling and crunchy kataifi.

There are two flavours to choose from:

🍪 Original Chocolate Chip Dubai Chewy Cookie

Famous Amos' signature chocolate chip flavour gets a chewy makeover, complete with a creamy kataifi centre that adds an unexpected crunch. Perfect for those who love the original but want to try something different!

🍫 Double Chocolate Chip & Pecan Dubai Chewy Cookie

Chocolate lovers, this one's calling your name! Expect a rich chocolate cookie packed with chocolate chips and crunchy pecans, with a creamy kataifi filling for that extra indulgent bite.

Here's a little tip: Pop your Dubai Chewy Cookie into the microwave for just 6 to 7 seconds before digging in. This helps create that warm, gooey pull that makes chewy cookies so satisfying!

---

Milo Crunchy Cookies: For Those Who Love a Good Crunch!

Not everyone is on Team Chewy, and that's where the SGFR × Famous Amos Milo Crunchy Cookies come in!

These light, airy cookies are coated in Milo powder, combining a crispy, snappy texture with that familiar chocolatey, malty flavour.

As someone who grew up with Milo, I have to say this combination sounds particularly nostalgic! It's two familiar favourites coming together in one crunchy snack, and I'm curious to see how the Milo flavour pairs with the cookies.

---

Where to Buy & How Much?

The SGFR × Famous Amos collaboration launches on 13 October 2026, but take note that the two cookie ranges are available at different stores!

Famous Amos Dubai Chewy Cookies

Available at all SGFR stores.

• S$8 per piece

• S$20 for 3 pieces

Both Original Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate Chip & Pecan flavours are available.

SGFR × Famous Amos Milo Crunchy Cookies

Available at all Famous Amos outlets.

• 100g – S$6.80

• 200g – S$13.00

• 300g – S$19.20

• 400g – S$25.40

Personally, I'm torn between the Double Chocolate Chip & Pecan Dubai Chewy Cookie and the Milo Crunchy Cookies. One sounds extra indulgent, while the other brings back childhood memories!

What about you, Huneybees? Are you Team Chewy or Team Crunchy? 🍪🐝

Carlsberg x Grab Dine Out: Beer & Food Pairing Deals at 28 Singapore Restaurants

Hi Huneybees,

Carlsberg Asia partners with Grab to launch exclusive dine-out deals with beer pairings curated by Zoran Gojkovic, Carlsberg's Brewmaster.

Ever wondered which beer goes best with your favourite dishes? Whether you're digging into spicy Sichuan chicken, enjoying juicy grilled meats or treating yourself to a Japanese feast, the right beer might just make your meal even better!

Carlsberg Asia has teamed up with Grab to bring Brewmaster-curated beer and food pairings to 28 restaurants across Singapore, with exclusive Grab Dine Out deals available until 25 October 2026!

And we're not talking about simply ordering any beer to go with your food. These pairings have been specially curated by Carlsberg's Brewmaster, Zoran Gojkovic, to complement the flavours of each dish.

---

A Little Brewing Magic Behind Every Pairing

Carlsberg's Brewmaster, Zoran Gojkovic, has been travelling across Southeast Asia, meeting chefs and exploring local cuisines to discover how different beer styles can bring out the best in our favourite dishes.

From refreshing citrus notes that cut through rich, fatty meats to roasted malt flavours that complement smoky dishes, there's actually quite a bit of science behind a good pairing!

The campaign features five beers from Carlsberg's portfolio:

• 1664 Blanc: A refreshing wheat beer with bright citrus notes.

• Connor's Stout Porter: Rich, velvety and full of roasted malt flavours.

• Sapporo: A refined Japanese lager with a light, balanced finish.

• Carlsberg Smooth Draught: Mellow, smooth and easy-drinking.

• Carlsberg Danish Pilsner: A classic, well-balanced lager with crisp, hoppy notes.

Each has been matched with selected dishes to create a different dining experience.

---

Where to Try These Beer & Food Pairings in Singapore?

With 28 participating restaurants, there's plenty to explore! Here are three dining spots and their recommended pairings to get you started.

Empress: Chinese Classics with a Twist

If you love contemporary Chinese cuisine, Empress offers a beautiful dining setting overlooking the Singapore River.

Recommended pairings:

• Empress Roast Duck + Connor's Stout Porter: The beer's roasted malt flavours complement the duck's smoky, beautifully lacquered skin.

Kinki: Bold Japanese Flavours Meet Refreshing Brews

For something a little more lively, Kinki at Collyer Quay brings together Japanese fusion cuisine, bold flavours and a vibrant gastrobar atmosphere.

Recommended pairings:

• Jeju Pork Jowl + 1664 Blanc: The beer's bright citrus notes help cut through the richness of the pork, leaving a refreshing finish.

• Saikoro Pepper Steak + Sapporo: The light, balanced Japanese lager complements the steak's tender, savoury flavours without overpowering them.

Definitely an interesting way to explore Japanese fusion dishes beyond the usual sake pairing!

Fireplace by Bedrock: Smoky, Wood-Fired Goodness

Love the aroma of food cooked over an open flame? Fireplace by Bedrock is all about premium ingredients and bold, wood-fired flavours.

Recommended pairing:

• 6-Hour Wood-Fired Pork Belly + Carlsberg Smooth Draught: The pork belly's deep, smoky flavours are balanced by the beer's mellow, easy-drinking finish, helping refresh your palate between bites.

Now that's a pairing worth considering for your next meat-loving dinner date!

Refresh Prebiotic Soda: Singapore's New Zero-Sugar Fizzy Drink with $1 Deals at 7-Eleven!

Hi Huneybees,

Singapore’s first zero-sugar prebiotic soda by Curated Culture, Refresh is packed with 5g of natural Fibregum and only 30 calories per can, bringing Asian-inspired flavours to your everyday wellness routine.

Who doesn't love a cold, fizzy drink, especially in Singapore's never-ending heat? But what if your favourite soda could come with a little extra goodness for your gut?

Home-grown brand Curated Culture has just introduced Refresh, a new range of prebiotic sodas inspired by familiar Asian flavours, bringing a healthier twist to our everyday fizzy treats.

Now available at 7-Eleven Singapore, Refresh launches with Lychee and Calamansi, with Peach and Mango joining the lineup in the coming months. And here's the sweet part: you can grab selected flavours for just $1 during its launch promotions!

---

Blending food science with everyday refreshment, Curated Culture partners with 7-Eleven to offer exclusive monthly $1 deals at participating stores1, starting 23 September with Refresh Lychee.

A Fizzy Treat with a Little Extra Goodness

With fibre-maxxing becoming a growing wellness trend, Refresh offers a convenient way to add a little more fibre to your daily routine without giving up the drinks you enjoy.

The soda also contains zero sugar and just 30 calories per can, making it an alternative to traditional sugary soft drinks. Each 245ml can contains 5g of Fibregum, a natural, plant-based prebiotic fibre derived from acacia gum that helps nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut. 

Sweetened with xylitol, Refresh is caffeine-free, vegan-friendly, JAKIM Halal-certified, and made without artificial flavourings or preservatives.

But what caught my attention is its choice of flavours. Instead of the usual cola or lemon-lime, we're getting familiar favourites like Lychee and Calamansi. Peach and Mango are also on the way, so there's something for both the fruity and citrus-loving crowd.

---

$1 Refresh Deals at 7-Eleven Singapore!

To celebrate the launch, Curated Culture has partnered with 7-Eleven to roll out monthly $1 promotions from September 2026 until February 2027.

New flavours will also be introduced through upcoming promotions, with all four flavours available exclusively at 7-Eleven for in-store purchases until February 2027.

---

Curated Culture co-founders Sew Shu Wen, Shermaine Heng, and Christian Eviston-Putsch

Made in Singapore, Inspired by Everyday Living

Refresh comes from Curated Culture, a Singapore-founded functional beverage brand established in 2021 by Christian Eviston-Putsch, Shermaine Heng and Sew Shu Wen, who met at the National University of Singapore.

Combining their backgrounds in business and food science, the trio wanted to make healthier living more approachable through beverages people would actually enjoy drinking. Their journey began with functional iced teas, including Recover, formulated with BCAAs, electrolytes and postbiotics, and Relax, containing probiotics and Ashwagandha.

Refresh marks their latest venture into carbonated drinks, bringing together familiar flavours, food science and everyday convenience.

After all, healthier choices shouldn't have to feel like a chore, and sometimes, it's the little swaps that make our daily routines more enjoyable.

So, Huneybees, if you're curious about prebiotic drinks or simply looking for a new zero-sugar fizzy treat, keep an eye out for Refresh during your next 7-Eleven run!

Starbucks Singapore Turns 30 with Nutty New Drinks, Local Treats & Mystery Surprises!

Hi Huneybees,

Starbucks Singapore is continuing its 30th anniversary celebrations with an autumn line-up that's giving us plenty of reasons to pop by for another coffee break. From the new Roasted Macadamia beverages and locally inspired treats to Siren-themed collectibles and mystery bags, there's something for the coffee lovers, foodies and collectors alike.

And yes, fellow blind box enthusiasts, there's a mystery surprise waiting for us too! 👀

---

A Nutty New Favourite: Roasted Macadamia 

If you enjoy nutty flavours in your coffee, Starbucks' new Roasted Macadamia series might be worth adding to your next coffee run. Combining roasted macadamia notes with espresso, the seasonal collection brings a comforting twist to our familiar Starbucks favourites.

The line-up includes the Roasted Macadamia Cold Foam Iced Americano and Roasted Macadamia Oatmilk Frappuccino®, each offering a different way to enjoy that rich, nutty goodness. I've always been a fan of Starbucks' pistachio coffee, so I'm curious to see how macadamia measures up. Could this be my next nutty obsession?

Available at Starbucks stores and via Mobile Order & Pay from 21 September till 27 October 2026. Selected beverages are also available through Starbucks Delivers, GrabFood and Foodpanda, while stocks last.

---

A Taste of Home: Local Flavours with a Starbucks Twist

Great coffee moments deserve great food. For its 30th anniversary, Starbucks is bringing a little local nostalgia to its food menu with five creations inspired by flavours we grew up enjoying. From comforting savoury favourites to nostalgic sweet treats, the line-up pays tribute to the flavours many know and love, reimagined with a Starbucks twist and created for sharing over coffee or enjoying during a well-deserved pause in the day.

Black Pepper Chicken Pie

Tender chicken and mixed vegetables in a peppery sauce, wrapped in golden, flaky pastry. A comforting savoury choice for your coffee break.

Beef Rendang Shepherd's Pie

Aromatic beef rendang tucked beneath a golden layer of mashed potato. East meets West in one hearty little pie!

Taro Salted Egg Tart

Creamy taro with a hint of coconut, nestled in a buttery pastry shell and finished with a pretty purple rose-like swirl. Definitely one for the taro lovers.

Milo Crunch Cake

Chocolate sponge, malted mousse and a crunchy feuilletine base come together in this nostalgic treat. Milo dinosaur fans, this one's calling your name!

Salted Caramel Speculoos Cheesecake

Creamy cheesecake with spiced speculoos biscuits, glossy salted caramel, chocolate ganache and cookie crumbs.

These new food creations are available in-store, via Mobile Order & Pay, GrabFood and Foodpanda. I must say the Taro Salted Egg Tart is catching my attention. One for that gorgeous purple swirl, another is the flavour pairing it will make with the nutty coffee.

---

Siren the Muse: Collectibles for Starbucks Fans 

Now, here's where my collector instincts start buzzing!

Inspired by Starbucks' iconic Siren, the new Siren the Muse Collection takes inspiration from the ocean with a range of drinkware and keepsakes. You can find their signature ceramic mugs, tumblers, water bottles and an adorable Siren Bearista Plush keychain.

The standout piece is the definitely the anniversary Siren Bearista Glass Cold Cup, featuring a tinted blue tail design and crown cap. The glass cups has been a hot favourite and now with a siren tail, I bet collectors will be yearning for it.

The collection is available at selected Starbucks stores, the Starbucks Online Store and Starbucks' LazMall store, while stocks last.

---

Love a Surprise? Meet the Starbucks Mystery Bag! 

If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for mystery collectibles. And Starbucks is bringing that same element of surprise to its drinkware!

For $49.90, each Starbucks Mystery Bag comes with three surprise drinkware pieces worth up to $140, packed together with a sleek tote bag in either black or navy blue. The mystery selection may include tumblers, water bottles, cold cups or mugs.

It's basically a blind bag for coffee lovers. The only question is, will you get the cup/collectible you've been eyeing? 

---

A Little Coffee Heritage: Starbucks 1971 Dark Roast

Beyond the seasonal treats and collectibles, Starbucks is also celebrating its coffee heritage with the Starbucks 1971 Dark Roast.

Named after the year Starbucks began roasting coffee in Seattle, this blend features tasting notes of toasted sugar and rich walnut.

It's available in-store, through Mobile Order & Pay and selected delivery platforms.

Peppa Pig Fun Day Out at Baia: A Family Brunch Overlooking Marina Bay

Hi Huneybees,

If Sunday brunch with a Marina Bay view already sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, Baia is adding a little Peppa Pig fun into the mix too!

This Sunday, 6 September, Baia, the rooftop dining lounge bar by the ilLido Group, is bringing back its Sunday Family Brunch with a special Peppa Pig Fun Day Out. Get to spend a leisurely afternoon of food for the grown-ups, plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained, and that gorgeous Marina Bay skyline as your backdrop.

The ilLido Group is also behind familiar dining spots including Sospiri, Les Canons and Southbridge, but this particular Sunday at Baia is all about creating a brunch that the whole family can enjoy together.

---

Brunch With a Side of Peppa Pig Fun

Running from 11am to 3pm, the Sunday Family Brunch comes with a generous buffet spread, a choice of à la carte mains and, perhaps most importantly for parents, complimentary entertainment happening throughout the afternoon.

On the buffet, look out for Live Oysters, Bluefin Tuna with Corn Salsa and Smoked Salmon with Cotija Cream, while the live stations will be serving up freshly prepared Tacos, Caserecce Pasta Cacio e Pepe and Chocolate Churros.

And yes, there’s definitely sweet treats include Mexican Flan Brûlé, Mango Tres Leche Trifle and Tiramisù!

You can also choose from à la carte mains such as Chicken Asado with Chipotle Crema, Grilled Wagyu Bavette Steak with Chimichurri, or Roasted Pacific Cod with Calabaza Bisque. Each main is served with Mexican Sprouts, Waffle Fries and Baby Spinach.

Basically, while the kids are busy looking out for Peppa Pig-inspired fun, the adults have plenty to look forward to on the table too.

---

Keeping the Little Ones Busy

Of course, a family brunch isn't just about the food, especially when you have little ones who probably aren't planning to sit quietly at the table for four hours!

From 11am to 3pm, Joseph Balloons will be bringing complimentary face painting and balloon sculpting to the brunch. Face painting will take place at Baia's outdoor patio, while the balloon sculptor will be moving around the venue creating balloon sculptures right at the tables, both indoors and outdoors.

Adding a little more magic to the afternoon, Singapore-based magician and illusionist Jerryl Tan will also be making his rounds from 11.30am to 3pm.

Instead of a sit-down magic performance, he'll be bringing his signature close-up magic directly to the tables, making it a much more interactive experience for families while they enjoy brunch.

Between Peppa Pig-inspired activities, colourful balloons, face painting and tableside magic, it sounds like there's enough happening to keep the little Huneybees occupied while the grown-ups enjoy a more leisurely Sunday afternoon.

---

Peppa Pig Fun Day Out at Baia

• Date: Sunday, 6 September 2026

• Time: 11am – 3pm

• Adults: $68++

• Children aged 4 to 12: $28++

• Children aged 3 and below: Dine free

The brunch includes the buffet spread and choice of à la carte mains, together with the Peppa Pig-inspired family activities. Face painting and balloon sculpting run from 11am to 3pm, while Jerryl Tan's tableside magic takes place from 11.30am to 3pm.

Reservations: Booking is available online.

And for the grown-ups who want to stretch the Sunday fun a little longer, Baia's Sunday All-Day Happy Hour (Aperitivo Day) will also be running alongside the family brunch.

Spritzes and spirits are available at $15++, while wines and beer on tap start from $12++ each.

So if you're looking for a Sunday brunch where the kids get their own dose of fun without the adults having to sacrifice good food and a nice view, Baia's Peppa Pig Fun Day Out could be one to add to the family weekend list.

Sip, Stamp & Explore! Starbucks Singapore Turns Its 30th Anniversary Into an Islandwide Adventure

Hi Huneybees,

I’m always up for a little adventure around Singapore, especially when there are stamps to collect AND blind bags involved, suddenly you have my full attention. 😂

This year marks 30 years of Starbucks in Singapore, and instead of simply celebrating over another cup of coffee, Starbucks Singapore is inviting us to get out there and rediscover some of its most interesting stores around the island.

Starting 4 September, the new Starbucks Singapore adventure combines café hopping, stamp collecting and Singapore-exclusive collectible pins. Basically, your usual coffee run now has side quests!

And considering some of these Starbucks stores are located at places we might already visit for a weekend date or day out, this could be a rather fun excuse to explore Singapore differently.

---

Turn Your Starbucks Coffee Run Into a Stamp-Collecting Adventure

Stamp journalling has always been one of those little things I enjoy whenever I travel. There’s something satisfying about hunting down a stamp and adding it to my journal as a tiny souvenir of where I’ve been. And now that stamp collecting seems to be making a comeback, I’m definitely ready to bring out my journal again!

This time, I don’t even have to travel far.

The Starbucks Adventure Journal turns Singapore into a little treasure hunt, with eight unique stamps to collect from iconic Starbucks stores around the island. Each stop has its own story, giving us another reason to rediscover familiar corners of Singapore while adding a new stamp to the journal.

The adventure takes you from Liat Towers, home to Singapore’s very first Starbucks, to the heritage surroundings of Chinatown and Katong. You can make a nature day out of Gardens by the Bay and Bird Paradise, or head to Jewel Changi Airport to visit the iconic Starbucks flagship there.

To start your adventure, simply pick up a Starbucks Adventure Journal and collect your first stamp at any of the eight participating stores. Then it’s up to you to hunt down the rest and complete your collection.

I can already see myself turning this into a weekend challenge. Coffee, stamp hunting and rediscovering Singapore along the way? Sounds like a pretty cute date idea to me. 🐝☕️

---

And Then They Added Blind Bags...

Okay Starbucks, you know us collectors too well.

Besides the Adventure Journal, Starbucks is also launching the Starbucks Blind Bag Adventure Pin Set, featuring Singapore-exclusive Bearista and Starbucks characters against illustrated local backdrops.

And yes, they are blind bags, so you won't know which design you're getting until you open it.

Among the designs are a Merlion Bearista and Lion Dance Bearista, together with characters and details inspired by everyday Singapore life.

These feel less like regular Starbucks merchandise and more like tiny souvenirs celebrating Starbucks' three decades here. For tourists, they're cute Singapore keepsakes. For us locals... well, good luck telling the collector brain that we only need one. 😂

How to Get a Starbucks Blind Bag Adventure Pin

Spend a minimum of $30 in a single receipt at any of the 20 selected Starbucks stores and you'll receive a free Starbucks Blind Bag Adventure Pin, while stocks last.

The participating stores are:

Central Singapore:
37 Smith Street, Gardens by the Bay, ION Orchard, Liat Towers, Marina Bay Sands, One Fullerton, Paragon, Plaza Singapura and Takashimaya.

East Singapore:
Changi Airport Jewel, Terminal 2 Departure Hall, Terminal 2 Transit Hall, Terminal 3 Departure Hall, Terminal 4 and Katong Square.

South Singapore:
Universal Studios Singapore, VivoCity and WEAVE at Resorts World Sentosa.

North Singapore:
Bird Paradise and River Safari.

There are actually quite a few ways to work these into an existing day out instead of deliberately travelling across Singapore just for a pin. A Gardens by the Bay date, an afternoon at Sentosa or even a Jewel visit could become part of the adventure.

Although knowing collectors, I'm sure someone out there is already planning the most efficient route. 👀

30 Years of Starbucks Singapore, One Coffee Stop at a Time

There’s something quite nostalgic about seeing Starbucks celebrate its 30th anniversary this way.

Many of us probably remember Starbucks stores as places where we met friends, studied, went on dates, hid from Singapore's weather or simply sat down with a Frappuccino after a long day.

So instead of just releasing another anniversary collection, I like that this adventure encourages us to revisit different corners of Singapore and create a few new memories along the way.

The Starbucks Adventure Journal and stamp collection begins from 4 September, while the Blind Bag Adventure Pins are available at selected stores while stocks last.

Now comes the important question...

Are you going for the stamps, the Bearista pins, or are you about to convince yourself that you need BOTH? 🐝☕️

No Flight Needed! Eat Your Way Around Asia at Eastpoint Mall This September

Hi Huneybees,

If travelling around Asia isn’t quite on the September school holiday plans, how about eating your way around it instead?

From 31 August to 13 September 2026, Eastpoint Mall is bringing flavours from Thailand, Japan, Korea and Taiwan together under one roof with A Taste of Asia at Simei Food Fair @ Eastpoint Mall.

Held at the Level 1 Main Atrium, the food fair takes a little inspiration from Simei itself.
* Fun fact: the name “Simei” is associated with the neighbourhood’s four beauties, and the fair turns that idea into four different food zones, each representing one of their preferred cuisines.

So yes, you can technically go from Thailand to Japan, Korea and Taiwan without leaving Simei. Not quite a holiday flight, but definitely easier on the passport. 😂

Four Asian Food Zones to Explore

As mentioned, the fair is divided into four key zones featuring Thailand, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, giving families and foodies plenty of flavours to discover during the school holidays.

Whether you’re craving Thai favourites, Japanese treats, Korean specialities or Taiwanese delights, there’s something different to look out for as you make your way around the fair.

AND! The food journey doesn’t stop with the four destinations.

Uncle Lee Confectionery Haus, Cinnabon and Hang Heung will also be setting up booths at Eastpoint Mall during the activation, adding even more sweet and savoury finds to the mix.

Personally, food fairs like this are always dangerous for me because I’ll walk in thinking, “I’m just going to take a look,” and somehow leave carrying tons of snacks home. 😅

Spend Rewards

How can you not do some shopping while you’re there right?
There are a few rewards worth knowing about...

From 31 August to 13 September 2026, spend $50 in a single transaction at participating FRx stores and you can redeem a $10 food fair voucher to use during the event.

This reward is limited to the first 200 redemptions, so I wouldn’t leave this until the final few days if you’re hoping to get one.

Bring Home an Exclusive Drink Tumbler

There’s another reward if you’re planning a bigger shopping or grocery run.

Shoppers who spend $150, or $200 for supermarket transactions, across three same-mall, same-day transactions can redeem an exclusive drink tumbler worth $19.90.
* There are 400 tumblers available for redemption, while stocks last.

More Rewards for FRx50+ Members

FRx50+ members have an additional perk to look out for too!

Spend $120 across three same-day, same-mall transactions and you can redeem a $5 FRx Gift Card.
*This promotion is limited to the first 700 redemptions.

Get F&B eDeals for Just 100 FRx Points

From 31 August to 13 September 2026, shoppers can access a Buffet of FRx eDeals for just 100 FRx Points at participating F&B tenants.

The offers range from 1-for-1 main courses to $5 and $10 eVouchers, which could make this a good opportunity to try somewhere new around Eastpoint Mall while stretching those dining dollars a little further.

A School Holiday Food Adventure in Simei

With four Asian cuisines to explore, extra food booths and a line-up of shopping and dining rewards, A Taste of Asia at Simei Food Fair @ Eastpoint Mall could be an easy addition to the September school holiday itinerary, especially if you’re already heading to the east.

And perhaps that’s the fun part. You don’t always need an elaborate itinerary for a family day out. Sometimes, choosing a country, grabbing something delicious and seeing where your stomach takes you is enough.

Thailand first? Japan? Korea? Taiwan?

Knowing me, I’ll probably say, “Why choose?” 😂

A Taste of Asia at Simei Food Fair @ Eastpoint Mall
📍 Level 1 Main Atrium, Eastpoint Mall

📆 31 August to 13 September 2026

*Promotions and redemptions are subject to applicable terms and conditions and availability.
