If you are craving a culinary getaway without leaving Singapore, 21 on Rajah is giving you every reason to indulge. From 3 October to 13 November 2025, the beloved Halal-certified “MediterrAsian” buffet restaurant at Aloft Singapore Novena transforms into a vibrant celebration of Filipino cuisine with its limited-time thematic buffet, Lasa Pilipinas. Crafted under the skilled hands of Chef de Cuisine Faustino, Lasa Pilipinas (which translates to “Flavours of the Philippines”) is a bold, generous, and richly nostalgic feast. You and your loved ones can explore a rotating showcase of more than 25 authentic Pinoy dishes alongside the restaurant’s classic international buffet spread.

Flavours of the Philippines, From Street Food to Signature Stews

Start your journey with beloved street food staples and grilled favourites like Inihaw na Tadyang ng Baka (Grilled Beef Short Rib) and Inihaw na Tilapia (Grilled Tilapia). Then dive into soul-warming dishes including Oxtail Kare-Kare—a luscious peanut-based stew—and Ginataang Hipon, prawns simmered in creamy coconut milk.

Live stations add theatre to the experience. Watch as chefs prepare Pancit Palabok—rice noodles topped with prawn, smoked fish, and crispy fish skin—before your eyes, or savour tender slices of Lechon Manok, Filipino-style roasted chicken carved fresh at the station. Accompaniments like garlic rice, adobo rice, and tuyo rice round out every bite with familiar comfort.

Weekend Indulgence and Midday Escapes

Whether you pop in for lunch or weekend brunch, Lasa Pilipinas does not skimp on international flair. Dig into Japanese sashimi, sushi rolls, and seafood on ice. The MediterrAsian corner offers flavourful fusions such as Pasta Linguine Vongole and Roasted Mediterranean Potatoes. For something heartier, the Moroccan Braised Lamb Shank or Crab in Salted Egg Sauce are bound to impress.

And what is a Filipino feast without dessert? Indulge in traditional sweet endings like Leche Flan, Ginataang Bilo-Bilo, Buko Pandan, and the much-loved Halo Halo served with colourful toppings and shaved ice. There is also Sorbetes in flavours like ube, cheese, mango and chocolate, as well as mini cakes and Nonya kueh to satisfy every sweet tooth.

Celebrate with Unbeatable Dining Promotions

Step into a home away from home, where the kopitiam aroma of toasted kaya, warm sugee cake, and bold kopi greets you at the door. Opening on 29 September 2025 at Temasek Shophouse, Bibik Violet is the newest gem from the Violet Oon Group — a vibrant, all-day Peranakan café and bakery where everyday flavours come to life with wallet-friendly prices, fuss-free service, and a whole lot of heart.

A Modern Love Letter to the Peranakan Bibik

If Violet Oon’s signature restaurants embody grandeur, Bibik Violet brings the spirit of the bibik — the wise, warm matriarch of the Peranakan kitchen — to a casual café setting. Nestled within the heritage-rich Temasek Shophouse on Orchard Road, the 54-seater eatery celebrates the Singapore you grew up with: comforting food, shared tables, and stories that unfold between spoonfuls of laksa and sips of kopi.

The interiors are just as evocative. Designed by Tay Su-Lyn, Creative Director of Violet Oon Group, the space marries vintage Peranakan tiles with rattan-backed furniture, tasselled lamps, and vibrant batik and tropical prints. Look out for artefacts from Violet’s personal collection — even her treasured cookbooks make a cameo.

All-Day Dining That Tastes Like Home

Whether you start your day at 8am or pop by after dinner, Bibik Violet’s menu is an ode to the everyday family table. Begin your morning with Kaya Toast, Soft-Boiled Eggs, and a bracing cup of traditional kopi — or try the Hae Bee Hiam Toast for a bolder bite. Craving something heartier? Mee Siam and Chicken Macaroni Soup offer warmth in every spoonful.

Lunch and dinner bring out the stars: Nasi Lemak, Nyonya Laksa, Prawn Mee Soup and one-dish wonders made for solo diners or sharing with loved ones. Pair them with small plates of Achar, Ngoh Hiang, and Kueh Pie Tee. For the full feast, order classics like Babi Pong Tay, Buah Keluak Pork Ribs, Udang Pedas Nanas and Curry Chicken — all best enjoyed with fluffy white rice.

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nostalgic

At the heart of Bibik Violet’s bakery counter is a kaleidoscope of Nyonya kueh and nostalgic bakes — made fresh in limited batches every day. Expect signature treats like the Orange Sugee Cake, Cempedak Cake, Banana Pound Cake, and Pandan-Gula Melaka Chiffon. Kueh lovers can pick up Kueh Salat, Kueh Ambon, Ang Ku Kueh (Peanut, Yam, Sweet Bean), and Kueh Talam, alongside delightful tarts like Pulot Hitam and Pineapple & Coconut.

Need a sweet finish? Try the Almond Jelly Longan or the velvety Sago Melaka — light, creamy, and made with restraint that speaks of experience.

Kopi, Teh, and the Art of Slow Sipping

You cannot leave without trying Bibik Violet’s signature Singapore-style kopi and teh — brewed using traditional methods where beans are roasted with sugar and margarine for that deep, nostalgic aroma. Whether you take it kosong, with condensed milk, or somewhere in between, the cup is always strong and satisfying — just like Bibik would make it.

Opening Specials to Warm You Up

From 29 September to 30 November 2025, enjoy 10% off your first bill and a welcome treat — either a cup of kopi/teh or Water Chestnut Sugarcane with every sign-up for Bibik Club membership.

Take Bibik Home

From kaya jars to cake boxes, Bibik Violet’s growing retail collection lets you bring the flavours of home wherever you go. Whether gifting to a friend or filling your pantry, everything is crafted with heritage in mind — and wrapped in Peranakan charm.

Makan, Earn, Repeat: The Bibik Club

Frequent diners can sign up for Bibik Club, a free rewards programme where every $1 spent earns a point. Members enjoy birthday treats (hello, sugee cake!), exclusive previews, festive specials, and rewards to redeem on future visits. You just need to bring your appetite — Bibik will do the rest.

When Raffles debuted “The Butler Did It” in Singapore last year, it was less a campaign and more a declaration: that service, when done with heart and theatre, becomes something spellbinding. Now, the world’s most stylish butler returns for chapter two — this time against the opulent, history-soaked backdrop of Raffles London at The OWO. Once again played by the effortlessly debonair Tim Easton, the Butler now plays host to a dazzling new cast of hotel guests — including Henry Golding, Oli Green, Jacquetta Wheeler, Stephanie Grainger, and Amalie Gassman — all checking in to one of the brand’s most anticipated openings in years.

Style, Theatre, and a Royal Wake-Up Call

Under the imaginative eye of Trey Laird, with photography by Dylan Don and styling by fashion icon Robert Rabensteiner, this new chapter is as cinematic as it is cheeky. Set within the storied corridors of the Old War Office — once the domain of Winston Churchill and British espionage legends — the campaign unfolds like a Wes Anderson daydream.

Each vignette delivers on the Raffles promise of service so personal, it feels like magic. From a bespoke bedtime story told fireside to afternoon tea in The Drawing Room and a royal wake-up call performed by none other than the King’s Piper, the Butler’s quiet mastery orchestrates it all with knowing grace. It is witty, whimsical, and unmistakably Raffles.

The Glamour of the Unexpected

There is a fashion-forward elegance to every frame — but also a kind of narrative tension. The air of mystery plays perfectly against Raffles London at The OWO’s spy-laced past, inviting you and your loved ones to imagine what secrets may still echo through its marbled hallways. That blend of British sophistication and playful charm elevates this campaign from visual spectacle to living storybook.

“Our butlers are more than a hallmark of hospitality,” shares Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “They represent over a century of quiet artistry, graceful anticipation, and emotionally intuitive care. This campaign reimagines tradition through a witty and whimsical lens.”

Global Glamour, Raffles Style

As the campaign launches globally across print, video, display, and social, it comes hand-in-hand with “The Butler Did It Experiences” — curated packages designed by Raffles Butlers to offer insider access and cultural immersion at each property. From Singapore to Jaipur, Sentosa to Shanghai, each destination unlocks a story told through impeccable service and poetic detail.

For those seeking more than just a hotel stay — but rather, an atmosphere, a moment, a feeling — this is Raffles at its most charismatic. Whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth, the magic lies in the mystery. The sparkle in the eye of a Butler who knows what you need before you ask. The feeling that something enchanting is always just around the corner.

And wherever the journey goes next, one thing is certain: at Raffles, The Butler Did It.

After seven quietly powerful years, Po at The Warehouse Hotel reopens with a bold new direction — one that deepens its Nanyang roots while reimagining heritage dining for today’s taste. Drawing from the shared culinary traditions of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Peranakan cultures, Po’s new menu, interiors, and bar concept invite you and your loved ones to step into a refined yet familiar world where the flavours of Singapore’s past are celebrated with modern precision.

A Menu Framed by Memory

Po’s new culinary direction is anchored around three thematic chapters: Reminisce, Refine, and Relive. Curated by Executive Chef Hong Dingzhao and Restaurant Chef Yasmin Shima, the menu offers a refreshed lens on Singapore’s culinary identity. You and your loved ones will still find Po’s iconic Popiah platter — with housemade wheat skins, tiger prawns, crab, flower crab bisque and crispy sole — but it now sits alongside dishes designed for sharing and storytelling.

Start with the Crispy Oysters, coated in assam aioli and tobiko, or the Wagyu Brisket Rendang served with grilled sweet corn roti. Dishes like Ayam Pelencheng — kampong chicken marinated in shrimp paste, fermented soy bean and lemongrass — reflect layered Nanyang traditions. For grilled mains, the Charcoal-Grilled Ribeye Satay (with buah keluak sambal) and the Red Grouper Assam Curry bring bold heat and depth.

Vegetable-forward creations such as the King Oyster Mushroom and Okra and Petai Fried Rice cater to modern diners seeking lighter, produce-driven plates. Classics like the Oyster Omelette are reinterpreted with finesse — a nostalgic nod with a decadent twist.

Design That Respects Its Origins

Designed by EDG Design, Po’s interior transformation draws from The Warehouse Hotel’s rich past while crafting a contemporary dining sanctuary. The palette is earthy and refined — fluted timber panels, woven rattan screens, porcelain tile frames and marble accents evoke the tropical modernism of Singapore’s heritage homes. Anchoring the space are bespoke lantern chandeliers that cast a soft glow, while murals by Singaporean artist Kat Ong pay tribute to popiah-making, kampong life, and the botanical lushness of the region.

A Bar Programme That Tastes Like Home

The newly refreshed bar, led by Naz Arjuna (Diageo World Class Singapore winner), presents a cocktail menu that spotlights local botanicals and Southeast Asian stories. Highlights include the Tembusu — pandan, vanilla and rum — and the First Bloom, a grapefruit gin and roselle spritz. Other signature drinks like Tekka and Orchard nod to the evolving neighbourhoods of Singapore, while the bar’s curation of natural wines, sakes, and low-intervention labels add a conscious modern touch to your dining experience.

Midday Feasts & Weekend Plans

Po now opens for weekday lunch service from 12:00pm to 2:30pm and dinner daily from 5:30pm to 10:30pm. Plans for new lunch set menus and communal feasting formats are underway, with the team embracing the concept of shared experiences in both spirit and presentation. As the Warehouse Hotel’s signature restaurant, Po continues to serve as a culinary anchor on the Singapore River — drawing from the past while facing forward with boldness and grace.

📍 Po, The Warehouse Hotel, 320 Havelock Road, Singapore 169628
🕐 Lunch: Mon–Fri, 12:00pm–2:30pm | Dinner: Daily, 5:30pm–10:30pm

Something bold is blooming by Sentosa Island. This October, W Singapore – Sentosa Cove invites you and your loved ones to experience its next evolution — unveiling redesigned rooms and suites inspired by a tropical microcosm, deeper wellness offerings, and meaningful sustainability initiatives. With the full room refresh to be completed by end-2025, the resort’s reimagining is part of the brand’s global shift towards “Luxury, Liberated” — a philosophy that champions self-expression, indulgence, and playful freedom within every stay.

Where City Energy Meets Island Calm

W Singapore’s redesign captures the duality of Singapore’s soul — cosmopolitan edge meets lush sanctuary. Each room reflects this spirit, with sleek city-inspired lines blending into organic curves, warm wooden tones, and the deep blues of the marina. Plush coral-orange sofas, reminiscent of Sentosa sunsets, add a vibrant glow, while earthy finishes anchor the space in serenity.

Most rooms now come with private balconies, inviting you to soak in views of yachts bobbing in the cove or the gentle rustle of tropical trees. Super King and Double Queen beds — larger than standard — are paired with a curated pillow menu, Nespresso® machines, and 65-inch TVs for elevated comfort. You can unwind with a rainforest shower or bathtub, wrapped in indulgent MOMO bath amenities and robes designed for lounging and lingering.

Sustainability Gets Sexy

Beyond the aesthetics, W Singapore is rewriting what it means to stay light on the planet. Over 680 solar panels have been installed across the property, expected to generate half a million kWh of clean energy annually. In your room, in-house water filtration taps eliminate the need for single-use plastics, while hotel restaurants and event spaces now bottle water on-site.

The resort also holds the Mid-Tier Farm-to-Table certification from the Singapore Food Agency, meaning the produce on your plate often comes from nearby farms, minimising food miles. Leftovers do not go to waste either — they are upcycled into fertiliser to nourish Sentosa’s green surrounds. These integrated efforts have earned the resort its EarthCheck Silver certification.

AWAY Spa: Where Rituals Begin

For those craving stillness and renewal, the refurbished AWAY Spa is now a destination in itself. Designed like a rainforest sanctuary, the spa flows from infrared saunas and steam rooms to a vitality pool and experiential showers. Later this year, ice baths will offer a refreshing edge to your recovery routines.

Signature treatments use formulations from Comfort Zone and Valmont, merging high-performance skincare with deep indulgence. Whether you are here for a solo ritual or a post-sunset couples’ escape, the space is crafted for surrender — of tension, noise, and the outside world.

Wellness, Beats & New Rituals

W Singapore’s reimagined guest experience now offers curated activities to suit every mood. You might kick off your morning with a complimentary upper-body strength workout, followed by a 10-minute shoulder massage to reset. Craving creativity? Join a DJ masterclass helmed by the resort’s resident DJ, where you will learn how to sync tracks and read a room.

Fridays through Sundays come alive with Sunset Sessions at WET Deck, running from 3pm to 6pm with live beats curated by the hotel’s Music Director. It is the perfect time to sip, swim, or sway as the sun dips behind the palms.

W Presents: Music Under the Palms

To celebrate its new era, W Singapore – Sentosa Cove will host W Presents from 24–26 October 2025 — the hotel’s take on a global live music series. Expect a weekend of sonic discovery with performances from international headliners like Pippi Ciez and rising Singapore talents, all set against the lush tropical backdrop of Sentosa. Whether you are in for the music or the mood, it promises to be an unmissable celebration of self-expression and shared energy.

Stay Your Way at W Singapore

From wellness to nightlife, sustainability to design, the new W Singapore does not just offer a place to stay — it gives you permission to live exactly how you want. Dance until the stars come out. Soak in a tub at midday. Share beats, bites, or simply a quiet morning coffee on your balcony. Whatever your mood, W is ready to meet it with style, comfort, and care for the planet.

A lush new chapter unfolds at Singapore Botanic Gardens this July 2025 with the opening of il Giardino, a garden-inspired Italian restaurant that brings cicchetti-style dining, botanical cocktails, and heritage Italian flavours with a twist. Taking over the second floor of The Garage, il Giardino blooms just in time for the 10th anniversary of the Gardens’ UNESCO World Heritage status — inviting you and your loved ones to celebrate with hearty sharing plates and alfresco Italian vibes in one of Singapore’s most iconic natural landmarks.

An Italian Garden Within the Garden

il Giardino — which means “The Garden” in Italian — is a natural fit for its setting. The interiors glow with walnut wood finishes, copper accents, and forest green tones, made all the more vibrant with the addition of live plants and an airiness that draws nature in. Its breezy terrace is purposefully designed to stay cool on warm tropical evenings, while the biophilic design of the space creates a seamless blend between restaurant and rainforest.

From weekday date nights to weekend family feasts, the ambience here is an invitation to slow down, savour, and share. Even before its official launch, it had already hosted a wedding — setting the tone for the kind of moments this restaurant is designed for.

Cicchetti-Style Dining with Local Twists

Under the direction of Chef Felix Chong, 1-Group’s Culinary Associate Director, il Giardino introduces the Venetian ‘bacaro’ tradition to the heart of Singapore — small, shareable dishes meant for lively communal dining. Chef Felix’s career includes leading some of the country’s top Italian kitchens (including Monti), and here, he infuses classic Italian flavours with local herbs, botanicals, and Asian inspirations.

Take the Panzanella ‘Singapura’ ($14), for instance — a reimagined Tuscan salad using green mango, cashews, heirloom tomatoes, and smoked tamarind vinaigrette. Or the Italian Harvest Salad ($16), served tableside and brimming with roasted vegetables, spicy salami, arugula, and grana padano for a dramatic touch.

Plates are offered in small and large portions, with some dishes such as the Slow Braised Osso Bucco ($28 S / $38 L) standing out for their richness and depth. Here, fork-tender veal in Barolo wine jus is lifted with a kaffir lime gremolata — a subtle Asian accent that cuts through its richness beautifully. Similarly, the Roasted Corn-fed Chicken ($16 half / $28 whole) is brined for succulence, then roasted and finished with a lemon caper sauce inspired by the Amalfi coast.

From the Sea to the Garden

Seafood lovers will be drawn to the Pan Roasted King Salmon ($28), topped with a crisp crust of parsley and pine nuts, and served with a tangy ginger flower salsa verde and signature eggplant caponata. The Slow Cooked Venetian Octopus ($20 S / $32 L), a rustic favourite, arrives from a large pot and is plated tableside — a visual and sensory feast. Dressed with Laudemio extra virgin olive oil and paired with house bread, this dish brings a generous Mediterranean spirit to the table.

Each plate celebrates the bounty of the garden — from traditional Italian cheese and house-made gremolata to the subtle brightness of ginger flowers and local citrus. Dishes like these reflect Chef Felix’s philosophy: start with strong roots, and let new flavours grow.

Botanical Cocktails and Dessert Drama

No garden gathering is complete without a toast, and il Giardino’s cocktail list is where things bloom even further. The signature Giardino Spritz ($18) pairs Prosecco and Limoncello with a fragrant thyme syrup. Meanwhile, Under the Tuscan Sun ($18) blends white rum and Limoncello with basil and lemon — capturing the freshness of the garden in every sip.

As for dessert, expect nothing less than performance. The il Giardino Affogato ($14) brings together hazelnut or vanilla gelato on a crunchy buttered almond-coffee base, hidden under a delicate Valrhona chocolate shell. At the table, a hot shot of espresso is poured to melt it, releasing aromas and a molten chocolate swirl that is made for the ‘gram.

Looking for something lighter? The Crispy Fried Chiacchiere ($14) comes with a choice of four gelato and sorbet flavours, including honey ginger and blood orange.

Plan Your Visit: A Place for All Celebrations

With its tranquil views, elevated dishes, and zero-waste ethos, il Giardino feels at once indulgent and grounded. The restaurant welcomes intimate dinners, casual family gatherings, and milestone events — all against the backdrop of tropical trees, birdsong, and botanical elegance. Its cicchetti-style dining encourages conversation, laughter, and slowing down — reminding you that good food tastes even better when shared.
