1. Discover your creative side with a batik painting workshop at Goodman Arts Centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goodman Arts Centre<\/span><\/a> is an art hive that serves as a platform to bring artists, enthusiasts and neighbouring communities together. They regularly organise performances, dance classes, and workshops wherein you can learn anything under the sun including paper marbling, perfume making, and batik painting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Re-watch iconic football matches at the Singapore Sports Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n

Sport fanatics will have a whale of a time at the <\/span>Singapore Sports Museum<\/span><\/a>, which exhibits Singapore\u2019s sporting achievements and history. Check out the Hall of Fame, which features local sports legends such as Tan Howe Liang, the first Singaporean to win an Olympic Games medal in 1960. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then knock yourself out rewatching iconic football matches of the past, and browse through legendary football icon Fandi Ahmad\u2019s collection of jerseys and footballs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Say no to beautifully made but mediocre tasting desserts at Ugly Cake Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n

Have you chosen your side? We\u2019re firmly on #teamugly<\/em> with the folks behind <\/span>Ugly Cake Shop<\/span><\/a>, who would rather bake \u2018honest\u2019 cupcakes and cakes than pile on artificial colouring, fondant and gum paste for beautifying purposes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the bestsellers at Ugly Cake Shop is the Sally, a peanut butter chocolate cake which actually originated as a cupcake. The Sally is, amazingly enough, rich and luscious without being overly sweet. Whoever said you can\u2019t have your cake and eat it at the same time clearly hasn\u2019t chanced upon Ugly Cake Shop! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Unleash your inner carnivore at this roast joint located at the riverside<\/h2>\n\n\n

We\u2019re talking about <\/span>Camp Kilo Charcoal Club<\/span><\/a>, which is where you can find the best roast meats in town. We kid you not when we say this place is <\/span>intense \u2013 <\/span><\/i>the sight (and smell!) of their specialty roasted pig cooking on their self-made spit is sure to have your mouth watering in anticipation. Other than the Roast Pig, be sure to try their other bestsellers such as the Chipotle BBQ ribs and Burnt Carrots. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
