There are also sensory play sessions, interactive theatre performances, and storytelling sessions using traditional Japanese kamishibai paper theatre. Basically, it’s a giant excuse for kids to touch everything, ask 4,000 questions, and accidentally learn something along the way.

Image credit: Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore

Our idea of a good buffet involves aggressively strategic plate-stacking and saying “just one more round” 5 times. So, the Flavours of Malaysia buffet showcase at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore deserves a spot on our makan radar. This halal-certified buffet brings together chefs from Johor, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, and Sarawak for a massive cross-country feast celebrating regional Malaysian cuisine.

Instead of the usual buffet staples, expect lesser-seen dishes rooted in family recipes and regional traditions, from Penang street food flavours to indigenous Bornean specialities from Sabah and Sarawak. There’ll also be live cooking stations where dishes are prepared fresh on the spot, adding a little culinary theatre to your carb-loading session.

More details via Food Capital’s Flavours of Malaysia buffet page

Price: 

• Lunch: Mon-Sat, $72/adult | $36/child
• Dinner: Sun-Thu, $106/adult | $53/child

Take to the skies with the Canopy Glider, as you soar above the treetops; look down to spot critters such as estuarine crocodiles and bongos chilling beneath you. The Ravine Swing is another thrilling attraction to have a go at, as it takes you 8m up in the air before plunging you down to catch a glimpse of the passing African painted dogs.

The high elements don’t end there, as you’re invited to scale a strangler fig during Primate Climb to get a better view of Diana monkeys. On the other hand, the Split Rock Summit promises sweeping views of the park after conquering its 11m-tall peak, but if you’d rather more greenery, opt for the Treetop Traverse’s 125m-long harnessed course instead.
