Your Weekend Sorted: Five Unmissable Things Happening Across Singapore

April in Singapore means one thing: the city is absolutely buzzing. The heat is relentless, sure, but so is the lineup of pop-ups, new menus, and events competing for your attention this weekend. Whether you're craving a lazy brunch with views, a late-night cocktail crawl, or something completely unexpected, we've done the legwork so you don't have to. Here's what's actually worth leaving the aircon for.

Brunch Like You Mean It at Fleur

Fleur has quietly become one of the most talked-about weekend brunch spots on Duxton Hill, and their new spring menu — launching this Saturday — is reason enough to book a table immediately. Chef Priya Menon, who previously ran the pass at Burnt Ends, has put together a lineup that leans heavily into seasonal Japanese produce with Southeast Asian inflections. Think miso-glazed French toast with shiso cream, and a stunning slow-cooked egg dish draped in XO butter. The dining room is small, airy, and mercifully not trying too hard with its décor. Expect a wait if you haven't reserved — word travels fast on this street.

  • Signature dish: Miso French toast with shiso cream and yuzu compote ($28)
  • Must-try drink: Sparkling lychee kombucha ($14)
  • Price range: $30–55 per person

Night Market Takeover at Kampong Gelam

The Kampong Gelam Night Market returns this Friday and Saturday from 5pm to midnight, transforming Arab Street and Haji Lane into a sprawling open-air feast. Over forty vendors are confirmed, with standout stalls including Lemak Boys serving their legendary nasi lemak burgers and a new dessert vendor, Kopi Creamery, dishing out gula melaka soft serve with pandan crumble. Beyond the food, there are live DJ sets from local selectors spinning everything from funk to dangdut, plus a curated vintage clothing pop-up if you're in a shopping mood. Entry is free, but bring cash — not every stall takes cards.

Sunset Cocktails at Sago House's New Rooftop

Sago House has long been a Chinatown favourite for no-nonsense cocktails, and now they've opened a compact rooftop space on the third floor that seats just twenty-four. The vibe is stripped-back — think concrete, hanging plants, and a killer view of the shophouse rooftops stretching toward the harbour. Their weekend-only rooftop menu features four exclusive drinks, including a pandan-infused gin and tonic with torch ginger ($22) that is absurdly refreshing. Arrive before 6pm on Saturday to snag a seat without queuing, because by sundown every spot will be claimed.

Sunday Wind-Down: Sound Bath at The Projector

If your Saturday goes hard, Sunday can go soft. The Projector at Golden Mile is hosting a ninety-minute sound bath session at 11am this Sunday, led by practitioner Aisyah Lim. You'll lie on mats in the darkened cinema while crystal bowls, gongs, and ambient synths wash over you — it's genuinely one of the most restorative experiences available on this island. Tickets are $45 and selling fast, with only sixty spots per session. Grab yours online before they disappear.

The Verdict

This weekend has something for every speed and every budget. If you only pick one thing, make it the Kampong Gelam Night Market on Friday — the combination of incredible street food, live music, and that electric Haji Lane energy is hard to beat when the sun drops and the crowd rolls in. See you there.
