Things to Do in Singapore: Food, Art, and Nightlife in the Lion City

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore with Oly Bennet—your irrepressible sports fanatic globe-trotter, reporting live on Thursday, September 25, 2025! The Lion City’s buzzing and so am I. Today’s forecast? Spicy tropical heat with a decent drizzle—pack an umbrella unless you like your hair in humid poodle mode. The city sizzles with energy: foodies on the hunt, arts crowds flitting between shows, business folk caffeinating furiously, and tourists gawking at anything that isn’t nailed down.

I’ve wrangled up today’s most exhilarating events. First up: the Singapore Food Festival fires on all cylinders from hawker icons to chef pop-ups—“Have You Eaten Yet?” is this year’s theme, and if you haven’t, get ready to taste Singapore one delicious bite at a time, spread across the entire island until September 24. Your taste buds may need a seatbelt.

For the culture vultures, don’t miss the SMU Arts Fest—Singapore’s uni students are strutting their creative stuff with immersive performances, art installations, and local narratives, running right up to September 28. If you fancy high design and think napkin folding is an Olympic sport, Singapore Design Week is in full swing until September 21, showcasing sustainable concepts and creative lifestyles at the National Design Centre and just about everywhere else.

Families, don’t say I never look out for you. The Pawfect Journey: Mid-Autumn Series at Jurong Lake Gardens promises lantern walks, mooncakes, and activities that’ll have kids wishing every night was festival night. For the night owls with rhythm in their bones, tonight marks the All Black Affair at RASA Space—dress to impress, move like you own the dance floor, and yes, maybe pretend you’re in a K-pop video.

On to local news: Marina Bay’s culinary scene just exploded with the opening of the noodle joint “Wok the Line”—yes, that’s the actual name, and it’s serving late-night laksa for the adventurous. In public transport buzz, SMRT’s Circle Line is rolling out extended service hours this weekend for race season, so no need to do the “last train dash” in your finest flip-flops.

Must-do activities today? Stroll through the futuristic Gardens by the Bay (don’t skip the Cloud Forest if you like feeling vaguely elfin). Snap a selfie with the Merlion—legend says every good photo gains you 20% more luck at the next hawker stall. If the rain gets wild, duck into the Asian Civilisations Museum for their new “Let’s Play: The Art and Design of Asian Games” exhibition, featuring interactive boardgame art. It's great for gamers, culture hounds, and anyone who claims to be an Uno champion.

Local tip of the day: skip the main line at Maxwell Food Centre and hunt for “Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice.” Not only will you taste Singapore’s unofficial national dish, but you’ll earn bragging rights. And, pro move—pay with a mobile app to dodge the endless coin-fumbling.

Tomorrow, race fever amps up as Sentosa’s Grand Prix™ Season launches full throttle—think music stages, culture pop-ups, and more sporting mayhem. Plus, word on the street is the Night Festival’s closing weekend will light up Bras Basah Bugis like you wouldn’t believe. Tune in for all the wild, quirky happenings—sports, food, and offbeat fun, served up Oly Bennet style.
