#CALENDAR AND EVENTS

What’s New In October

Skip the loungewear and put on something presentable, as we head - cautiously - into the new normal this month.

By Amanda Tan        8 October 2021

Even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are now seeing semblances of the new normal. With most of Halloween and other events cancelled during this time last year, we are now looking forward to having a delightful time trick-or-treating, or even going about our normal activities such as shopping.

Halloween Fun And Frights At Resorts World Sentosa

If youve missed last years festivities, make up for it this year with a slew of activities at the integrated resort. Revisit some of the haunted houses and creepy zones that were featured at the very first Universal Studios Singapore (USS) Halloween Horror Nights Exhibition.

The exhibition includes a killer line up (pun fully intended) of the scariest icons during the past nine years. The exhibition is not suitable for guests under the age of 16.

On a lighter note, if horrors not your genre, embark on a lighthearted journey with the characters at USS, where Cookie Monster, Kung Fu Pandas Po and Minion Monsters are all geared up to meet you.

Wild Child Pizzette

If you’ve ever looked at a pizza menu and simply couldn’t decide, the 10-inch pizzas at Wild Child Pizzette will make you happy. The newest brainchild of the group that brought you Italian restaurants Cicheti and Bar Cicheti, this cosy new eatery slings both classic and new age toppings like Margherita (tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, basil, grana padano, extra virgin olive oil) and Cavolo Nero (Tuscan kale, garlic confit, lemon, fior di latte cheese, bagna cauda, grana padano, pickled onions) on a slow-fermented, Neapolitan style crust that’s light, airy and chewy. Order up a pizza – or three – to share (with more than one friend, when it’s possible to do so) and pair them with the eatery’s wide selection of spirits ranging from beers to wines and sake.
