Some highlights include a pop-up playground where kids can build creative spaces using everyday materials, an interactive “River Hunt” treasure trail through the National Museum of Singapore, and free craft stations where little ones can fold origami sampans or make moving bridge-themed art pieces.

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.

Things to do this weekend in Singapore - Flavours of Malaysia
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

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.
