A light-up for the westies? Yes, please!

Where: 92 Amoy Street
A new gelato joint has just hit the city. This one opens until late on Fridays and Saturdays – making it especially perfect for weekend date nights, especially with its sleek leather seats and moody lighting. Classic flavors to look out for include Sicilian pistachio, but the menu also includes bold experimental ones like blue cheese with candied pear, and lighter sweets from their sorbet line.

Find out how paper offerings are made
Where: Macpherson
You’ve seen the Chinese paper offerings accompanying Taoist funerals under HDB blocks across the island. Hey Lad Tour brings you to one of the few shops still producing these effigies, expertly transforming pieces of bamboo sticks and paper into offerings for ancestors in the afterlife. Pro-tip: this tour is also covered with the SG Culture Pass!

When: Until 1 November
Where: Haw Par Villa
Haw Par Villa’s very own Hell’s Museum turns 4 this Halloween season. The celebration includes 3 scare zones: a spooky Asian haunted house, a spooky guided tour, and puzzle hunt that brings you through the 10 courts of hell. If you’ve still got SG Culture Pass credits, this is the one event to spend it on.
