Expat Kitchen Cooking School
9 Norris Road, #02-01, Little India
6299 4221 | expat-kitchen.com
Located within a historic building
in bustling Little India, Expat
Kitchen’s large, fully equipped
commercial kitchen is the ideal
space for all kinds of events,
from birthday parties to hands-on
cooking classes and interactive
workshops – great for corporate
team-building parties, too. In
fact, the Expat Kitchen team can help create a competitive environment
for individual team members to challenge each other in a fun, culinary
atmosphere, while learning great cooking tips and techniques from the
professionals – the perfect way to live out those
MasterChef
fantasies!
Other party options include a “cook and feast”, where you create the menu,
a demo-style cooking session, and a soiree-style sit-down during which
Expat Kitchen serves the food while guests relax. The Expat Kitchen team
can also provide food and beverage catering services on site for any event
you might wish to hold. Kids’ cooking parties are also popular – four-to-
eight-year-olds will love the “Cupcake and Crafting Party”, while nine-to-13-
year-olds will have a blast trying their hands at a “Mini Master Chef Party”.
Additionally, the kitchen space can be rented out on its own for private
parties, with full use of kitchen equipment and utensils.
For event enquiries, email

Inspiration for aHenDo
The girls will love a visit to
Bobbi’s
Pole Studio
(bobbispolestudio.
com.sg); you don’t have to get
down and dirty if you feel that’s a
tadmuch, but it really is fun to strut
around in heels and test out a few
spins on the pole. The
EL
girls did
this a while back, and we giggled
for a good hour (while burning
calories!). Afterwards, walk over
to
Here & There
at Chijmes for
post-pole drinks, or to the chic
New Asia
Bar
at Swissôtel for
sexy cocktails, DJs, dancing and
fabulous panoramic views.
Float @ The Bay
floatatthebay.com.sg
Whether you’re a group of two or 20,
Singapore’s first-ever floating bar is a fun
way to take in the city’s spectacular skyline
over drinks and music. The boats, which
can accommodate up to 30 people each,
are open to the public every evening, but
can be reserved for private functions. Hop
aboard at Clifford Pier, Raffles Place or
Marina Bay Sands, or arrange a pickup at
another pier along the Singapore River by
messaging or calling 8139 9115.

Hire A Yacht
Throw an adult bash with a difference
by hiring a boat and setting sail around
Singapore. There are lots of options to
consider, from group size and boat type
to specific routes and catering – check
out our handy guide to yacht hire at
expatliving.sg. Frommooring on Lazarus
Beach during the daytime to watching
the fireworks on Sentosa by night, hitting
the water is a very cool option.
S.E.A. Aquarium
8 Sentosa Gateway, Resorts World Sentosa
6577 8888 | rwsentosa.com
The massive Open Ocean tank in
Singapore’s popular marine centre is
available to hire for huge dinners and
glamorous parties. If you find yourself
sitting next to someone awkward, just
point at the gigantic sharks and make
polite chat about being eaten alive.
Nox – Dine in the Dark
269 Beach Road
6298 0708 | noxdineinthedark.com
One way to ensure that everyone has
plenty to chat (and laugh) about is to
get them to wear blindfolds and eat their
meals entirely in the dark. Nox offers
exactly that, treating diners to innovative
cuisine that they must try to recognise
with taste buds alone. It makes for an
unforgettable night, and may even
encourage you to try a few delicious
dishes that you’d have otherwise avoided.
