Non-sleazy KTVs in the East of Singapore
Karaoke has been and always will be a favourite when it comes to group activities. Something about being in a dark room with a great sound system helps you wipe away all your inhibitions and sing your lungs out. Forget Grammy winners – between us and the soundproof walls, the real star is whoever’s holding the mic.
1. Kloud Karaoke at Tanjong Katong – from $12/pax for 3 hours

If you’re one of those people who would prefer to do something else while your friends scream “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”, you can play a game of darts in the main lounge at Kloud Karaoke.
Individuals rooms are pretty spacious and songs are all updated. Kloud Karaoke would be suitable for small group outings to medium sized company get-togethers.
The best part? There’s a bar. So if you spot that one quiet friend bobbing along without a sound, get him/her a drink and maybe you’ll get to see them belt out to an emotional song or two.
