The Scenic Eye: Visual Arts and the Theatre
National Museum of Singapore flaunts its new outfit with the exhibition The Scenic Eye: Visual Arts and the Theatre.
Le Tonkin Restaurant & Lounge
The décor at Le Tonkin is modern and sophisticated, belying its laid-back atmosphere. Outside, there is a lounge area with rattan sofas for lying back with a few cocktails, as well as a dining area with tea candles. Inside, the setting is more formal, with chintz curtains, plush lounges and clean white linen tablecloths—a perfect […]
Jazz It Up
Jazz birds from The Manhattan Transfer fly into town.
Women Power
A smorgasbord of events is lined up in the international women’s contemporary theater festival Crossroads 2006.
Brewerkz Restaurants & Microbreweries
In the years that it has been around, Brewerkz has established itself as a veritable institution of great beers brewed in-house and stick-to-your-ribs American chow.

Superman Returns
Lois Lane (played by Kate Bosworth) and her coworkers at the Daily Planet have been watching the skies hopefully for five years, waiting for Superman’s return. But that’s nothing: It’s been nearly 20 since we saw our hero in 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.Largely faithful to the original series but with enough self-parody […]
La Petite Cuisine
The folks behind French bistro La Cuisine French Restaurant have opened up a casual eatery just down the road, a good choice for cheap and friendly French food. Everything is pretty basic—tables indoors and out give the little place a transient feel (this is where you’d head to for a reliable quickie rather than a […]
The Man Behind the Man
Sometimes, a man got to do what he got to do.
