The month of March is off to a busy start as Taylor Swift kicks off her highly anticipated Taylor Swift Eras Tour this weekend. To celebrate the occasion, fans will be treated to a slew of themed events over the coming week. Take, for instance, the light and water shows that will be held regularly at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
For those who are not attending the concert, fret not. Starting on Saturday, Sneaker Con SEA will be making its return to Singapore for two days and will be held at Resorts World Sentosa Convention Centre. A gathering of global street culture luminaries, including innovators (or OGs in street culture lingo) behind the likes of world-renowned street culture brands such as FRGMT, Staple Design and The Hundreds, this event is definitely not one to be missed, especially if you're a sneaker enthusiast.

Introducing Tribal, the newly opened culinary gem nestled within the heart of Mondrian Singapore Duxton. Celebrating the rich tapestry of Asian flavours, the modern Asian grill restaurant focuses on delivering savoury grub that's meticulously crafted through the art of wood-fired cooking. With notable Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Japanese and Thai influences seamlessly blended into each dish, Tribal's menu pays homage to the diverse culinary heritage of Asia.
Some of our favourite dishes that we recommend trying include the juicy Santori Organic Kampung Chicken, glazed in a savoury gai yang barbeque marinade, and finished with an annatto spice blend; the Wagyu Sharing Pot that's made with Japanese wagyu, raw tartare, and infused with black garlic and beef fat; and lastly, the Purple Sweetcorn topped with Mongolian spice.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, be sure to save some room for dessert and try the Bibingka from Tribal's menu. Native to the Phillipines, the Bibingka is a baked rice cake that's traditionally baked on banana leaves. Sweet yet smokey, the dish is complemented with a generous scoop of Kaya ice cream and will have you going for seconds.
Tribal is located at Mondrian Singapore Duxton, #01-07, 83 Neil Road, Singapore 089813
In celebration of Rare Disease Day, the Rare & Share dining experience launching today is a collaborative effort between Roche, a leading multinational biomedical company, the Muscular Dystrophy Association Singapore (MDAS), and Atout, a modern European restaurant.
Following its successful launch in Thailand, the event is now held in Singapore. Unlike your usual dining experience, Rare & Share offers diners to experience some of the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Throughout the 4-course dinner journey, guests will not only get to savour delectable dishes crafted by Chefs Azrin Rahman and Patrick Heuberger of Atout but at the same time, gain deeper insights into the various stages of SMA. Each course is thoughtfully designed to incorporate elements that mirror the experiences of those living with the condition, such as the specially weighted spoons.
A portion of the proceeds will also go towards the ongoing SMA research and initiatives led by MDAS.
The Rare & Share dining experience is located at Atout, 40C Harding Rd, Singapore 249548
