Do you guys know that Sentosa, which is only about 5 km sq (and Singapore's 4th largest island), has over 120 dining options islandwide? It's amazing when you think of all the F&B that's crowded in there, but the beaches remain quite tranquil and serene. I like the organic integration of these restaurants so they fit in the background of the sun, sand and sea, but what's an island without good food? Personally, nothing strikes up an appetite more so than the beach and sun.

That's why for the month of April there was a Feast at Sentosa campaign to encourage everyone to head over and check out the F&B deals and they even had an inaugural Grill Fest (BBQ festival) with Singapore's longest brick BBQ pit! It was a pity that it happened at exactly the same two weekends that Artbox had to come to Singapore, but Artbox was really crowded so I hope some of the smarter locals would have been at Sentosa instead.

Check out the video of the five romantic restaurants in Sentosa to bring your date:


To be honest I myself am guilty of not exploring all the F&B options in Sentosa other than hanging out at Tanjong Beach Club (which has decent fries)! I think I'll head over this long weekend and check out Coastes (Siloso Beach), as well as have a coconut ice cream from Co+Nut+ink (at Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach and Siloso Point)! Since we live in the tropics, we should make full use of our beaches and enjoy some good food while at it.

Can't wait to see what the State of Fun will be coming up with next!

Did you know that it's been six years since DBS has organised the dragon boat race and event at Marina Bay? Heads up, the sixth edition of DBS Marina Regatta (DBSMR), Singapore’s Biggest BayFest, will be coming up soon from 1 to 4 June 2017.  There's going to be loads of events happening on land, while interested parties can watch the region’s top dragon boating teams battle it out against the iconic Marina Bay skyline for Asia’s highest prize of SGD 134,000.

Here's the mock up of the event space this year:

3)    BAY DOME – Singapore’s largest interactive art dome

This year will see the installation of two majestic nine- and 7.5-metre tall domes at the regatta. Reaching a height of 7.5 metres, the Bay Dome will offer an immersive interactive art experience – Singapore’s largest – with an illustrated projection of the Marina Bay skyline. Event goers can customise their own characters and have their designs come to life on the projection to create an ever-evolving digital canvas.

4)    BAY EATS – Offerings from Singapore’s top young chefs

The regatta’s food village Bay Eats will be curated by The Local People and feature food stalls from award-winning and the top new eateries in town such as the “Neo-Sin” restaurant Labyrinth, French eatery Garçons, The Bell Jar, Leng Leng ice cream and more.

5)    PLAY DOME – Play in the day, party at night

Actually of all the activities I think I am most excited by the Ultra countdown party at night (where it is also going to be much cooler), which will have a small ticket price of $15 to attend.

Hope to see you guys there!
