Before Universal Studios Singapore came about, it was Uncle Ringo Carnival at our nearby Pasar Malam that many of us looked forward to for our dose of amusement park fun. After being temporarily shut down, Uncle Ringo Carnival has finally reopened at Punggol Container Park.

To hop onto the rides, you can either purchase an Uncle Ringo Card for $25, or top up your existing one with any amount.

To us, all it takes is a few buttons and swipes to conveniently order our favourite restaurant meals. On the other side of the stick stands the delivery riders, whose jobs are more physically demanding than we may be aware of. If you want a deeper insight into the lives of these essential workers, check out Order on the Go ($25/ticket), a local play about food delivery.
Written by local playwright Erwin Shah Ismail, this 45-minute play is inspired by his interviews with the various food delivery riders he encounters. To add a bit of realism to audiences, this play is also a roving performance, where you will be walking around parts of Kampong Glam nearby from the meeting point at Aliwal Arts Centre.
Dates: 16th – 20th & 23rd – 27th Mar 2022
