Singapore’s beloved Tiong Bahru Bakery is expanding its artisanal brand beyond croissants and coffee with the introduction of Crumb & Go, a dedicated lifestyle retail space. Located adjacent to its original flagship outlet on Eng Hoon Street, the new store aims to serve as a tangible extension of the café experience, offering a curated selection of merchandise, exclusive food items, and home goods for fans of the homegrown bakery chain. This strategic move signals the brand’s evolution into a comprehensive lifestyle destination, capitalizing on consumer demand for experiential retail and collectible brand memorabilia.

The Bakery’s Merchandise Takes Center Stage

Crumb & Go functions as a dedicated retail hub, allowing loyal customers to express their admiration for the bakery through physical goods. Central to the offerings is Tiong Bahru Bakery’s branded apparel and accessories. Shoppers can purchase crew neck t-shirts ($56) in a “French vanilla creme” shade—a direct nod to the uniform worn by bakery staff—along with branded tote bags ($40).

The store emphasizes collaborative design, notably featuring textile goods developed with local clothing label Atlas Kind. Smaller, approachable items include pastry-themed iron-on patches (starting at $4), allowing subtle personalization. The concept extends beyond wearables into home décor, with items designed to replicate the cozy café atmosphere. Standouts include canelé-shaped incense holders ($35), matcha-scented candles, and playful, Jellycat-inspired pastry plush toys.

Curated Goods and Exclusive Treats

Beyond its own branded products, Crumb & Go features a carefully selected array of lifestyle items from independent regional and local vendors. This curation adds depth and discovery to the retail environment, supporting the creative community while offering unique finds for customers.

Key Curated Brands and Items:

• Issho Labo: Features conversation-starting houseware, such as distinctive butter- and onion-shaped lamps.
• Sardine: Offers eclectic glassware, previously highlighted for its unique designs.
• Hue Studios (Thailand): Provides adorable 3D-printed animal keychains, adding an international flavor to the mix.

The convenience counter within Crumb & Go caters to those seeking quick takeaways, featuring prepared salads, sandwiches, and beverages. Furthermore, the venue has announced upcoming food exclusives to entice repeat visits. Starting in January 2026, customers can anticipate two unique treats: a kouign amann soft serve and a specialty coffee slushie, available only at the Crumb & Go location.

The introduction of Crumb & Go reflects a broader trend in the dining sector where successful food and beverage brands pivot toward retail and lifestyle integration. By offering exclusive merchandise and unique curated items, Tiong Bahru Bakery strengthens its brand identity, fostering deeper consumer loyalty and creating a new revenue stream that complements its core bakery operations. The new store is located at 55 Tiong Bahru Road, extending the classic Tiong Bahru experience into the realm of modern lifestyle retail.

Singapore cemented its status as a vibrant global hub in 2025, offering an unexpected blend of high-wattage celebrity events, immersive wellness experiences, and revitalized community spaces that captivated both residents and visitors. From global film premieres attracting Hollywood royalty to the emergence of chic new thermal spas and accessible nature trails, the year provided a compelling reminder of the city’s dynamic appeal. The diverse experiences, curated by the Time Out Singapore team, highlighted the city-state’s ability to seamlessly blend urban innovation with natural respite, fostering a deeper appreciation for life within the island’s borders.

Rediscovering Urban Wellness and Escape

The trend of intentional self-care intensified throughout 2025, with several new thermal spas opening across Singapore. Leading this movement was Nowhere Baths, a gender-neutral haven tucked away on Dempsey Hill. Unlike more utilitarian recovery centers, this locale prioritized a calm, aesthetically pleasing environment, featuring organic design, warm pools infused with epsom salt, and expansive windows overlooking a lush jungle patch.

The venue capitalized on the growing popularity of contrast therapy, offering invigorating ice bucket showers and cold plunges alongside traditional heat experiences like saunas and steam rooms. Editor Cheryl Sekkappan found the ambiance transformative. “Going during a rainy Sunday was the perfect backdrop for a hot soak in the mineral pools,” she noted, adding that the designated ‘Hush Hours’ ensured a truly restorative experience. Nowhere Baths broadened its offerings to include yoga and sound healing, providing a holistic escape for stressed urbanites. Other notable openings in the wellness space included The Ice Bath Club, Ice Faction, and Shelter, demonstrating a sustained demand for recovery-focused venues.

Star Power Shines on the Emerald City

Singapore became a magnet for global entertainment when it hosted the Asia-Pacific premiere of the eagerly anticipated film Wicked: For Good in November. Stars including Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum, and Michelle Yeoh descended upon Universal Studios Singapore for an intimate fan gathering and a glittering yellow carpet event.

The premiere was augmented by Sentosa’s spectacular multi-month transformation into the Land of Oz, featuring dazzling lights, intricate installations, and costume replicas extending into 2026. Branded Content Editor Cam Khalid described the magic of standing “mere inches” from the celebrities, a highlight that underscored Singapore’s drawing power for A-list events. This level of international engagement bolstered the city’s reputation as a premium destination for film and arts.

Community and Culture Thrive

The year saw nightlife and cultural immersion evolve beyond traditional venues. Rasa Space debuted in Raffles Place, establishing itself as more than just a club. While featuring a strong lineup of local and international DJs, Rasa quickly became a community hub hosting diverse functions, from matcha ‘raves’ and Sunday markets to dining pop-ups and bodyweight workout sessions. Campaign Manager Farah Adilah called the spot her “personal playground,” reflecting the venue’s success in fostering a strong, engaged community.

Meanwhile, board sports enthusiasts finally found their year-round sanctuary at Trifecta, near 313@Somerset. The complex offers facilities for sports otherwise impossible in Singapore’s climate: an endless surf wave pool, a hybrid skatebowl for both skateboards and surfskates, and a virtual reality-powered snow arena for simulated snowboarding. Regional Content Director Nicole-Marie Ng lauded the facility, sharing that it allowed her to master linked-turns in preparation for an international snowboarding trip, illustrating Trifecta’s role in democratizing often inaccessible sports.

Culturally, the long-running Broadway musical The Phantom of the Opera staged a triumphant run at Marina Bay Sands’ Sands Theatre until June, delivering the iconic gothic romance, dramatic staging, and powerful vocals expected by fans. Separately, music fans experienced four nights of electrifying performances as Lady Gaga’s stadium tour made its sole Southeast Asia stop in Singapore, drawing legions of dedicated international fans.

Embracing Singapore’s Green Heart

Amidst the energy of urban life, the city also introduced peaceful new escapes. The Mandai Boardwalk opened, providing a serene 3.3-kilometer flat trail skirting the Upper Seletar Reservoir and Central Catchment Nature Reserve. This addition reinforced Singapore’s dedication to weaving nature into the urban fabric.

Creative Manager Liqin Lau described the location as “incredibly calming,” recommending early morning visits to catch the sunrise and potentially spot resident otters or diverse bird species like straw-headed bulbuls. These accessible green spaces emphasize how Singapore continues to prioritize natural tranquility, ensuring that urban expansion does not come at the expense of ecological respite. Looking ahead, the focus on accessible wellness, world-class entertainment, and community-centric venues suggests Singapore will remain an unparalleled lifestyle destination.

Singapore’s beloved homegrown confectionary chain, Tiong Bahru Bakery (TBB), is expanding beyond their signature flaky croissants, officially launching a dedicated lifestyle retail extension called Crumb & Go. Located strategically directly behind the brand’s original flagship café on Eng Hoon Street, this new concept offers fans exclusive merchandise, artisanal homewares, and on-the-go food and beverages, transforming the flagship location into a comprehensive lifestyle destination following its recent renovation.

This move signifies a notable shift for the popular F&B operator, positioning the brand not just as a bakery but as an arbiter of curated aesthetic and everyday luxury goods. Crumb & Go acts as a complementary retail space, allowing diners to take home a piece of the TBB experience through unique collaborations and branded items.

Exclusive Merchandise and Unexpected Delights

The shop features an array of TBB-branded apparel and whimsical accessories designed to delight diehard fans. Among the standout items are brand-specific clothing, including an official TBB crew T-shirt ($56) rendered in a “French vanilla crème” hue—a stylish twist on the navy uniform worn by staff. For a more subtle nod to local pastry culture, the brand collaborated with local label Atlas Kind on items such as pastry-themed iron-on patches (starting from $4) and canvas tote bags ($40) emblazoned with dough motifs.

The retail selection transcends simple souvenirs, venturing into home decor that captures the cozy café atmosphere. Shoppers can find items such as canelé-shaped incense holders ($35) and calming matcha-scented candles. Further amplifying the pastry theme are Jellycat-inspired plushies shaped like classic TBB bakes.

Supporting Independent Artisans

Beyond proprietary merchandise, Crumb & Go functions as a curated multi-label store, showcasing unique products from independent local and regional designers. This effort to champion smaller artisans adds depth and variety to the retail proposition.

Standout curated goods include playful, food-themed lighting, such as distinct butter- and onion-shaped lamps created by Issho Labo. The selection also features specialized glassware from Sardine, a brand known for its eclectic aesthetic, and charming 3D-printed animal keychains imported from the Thai brand Hue Studios. This diverse collection ensures the store appeals to shoppers seeking unique gifts or unexpected home accessories.

Quick Bites and Exclusive Treats

For customers seeking efficiency, a dedicated counter within Crumb & Go offers convenience-style service, stocking grab-and-go options like freshly prepared sandwiches, salads, and chilled beverages.

Adding further incentive for repeat visits, TBB has announced several outlet-exclusive food items set to debut in the near future. Enthusiasts should mark their calendars for January 2026, when the counter will begin serving a dedicated kouign amann soft serve and a refreshing coffee slushie, available exclusively at Crumb & Go.

Located at 55 Tiong Bahru Road, Crumb & Go by Tiong Bahru Bakery successfully translates the brand’s culinary appeal into a fully realized lifestyle venture. By blending high-quality branded merchandise with carefully selected artisanal goods, TBB is strengthening its presence in Singapore’s competitive lifestyle retail landscape, proving that its brand resonance extends far beyond the confines of the oven.

Singapore’s wellness landscape is shifting from solitary spa sessions to vibrant, communal restorative routines, exemplified by the emergence of social bathhouses. Following high-profile openings like Nowhere Baths and the expansion of The Ice Bath Club, the latest dedicated facility, Ice Faction Singapore, arrives in the globally recognized neighborhood of Joo Chiat, solidifying contrast therapy—alternating hot and cold exposure—as the metro area’s newest obsession. This new venue, specializing in cold plunges and heat treatments, distinguishes itself by embedding a strong social focus into the fundamental act of recovery, transforming traditionally isolated practices into community events.

The Rise of Contrast Therapy Culture

Wellness pursuits in Singapore, long defined by high-intensity fitness and luxury spas, are embracing the therapeutic benefits of temperature contrast. Ice Faction, located on Koon Seng Road (part of a street recently highlighted in Time Out’s annual index of the “world’s coolest”), offers a comprehensive regimen designed to promote physical and mental restoration. The facility provides an immersive thermal experience that blends multiple modalities including targeted cold exposure and deep heat.

Unlike traditional cold therapy, which often prioritizes silent, meditative endurance, Ice Faction centers the experience around camaraderie. The mixed-gender establishment encourages patrons to engage in relaxed conversation and social bonding between dips. This atmosphere is intentionally fostered by the facility’s layout; key to this design are the 3°C and 12°C cold plunge pools, which feature designated social zones between them where participants can congregate and chat.

The decor further enhances the inviting mood. Instead of an austere, enclosed environment, the space boasts bright, airy interiors and tropical motifs reminiscent of a laid-back beach club, reducing the intimidation often associated with extreme temperature immersion.

Beyond the Ice: Full-Spectrum Recovery

While the name suggests a focus purely on frigid temperatures, Ice Faction offers a complete contrast therapy circuit essential for maximizing benefits. The facility features not only the distinct cold pools but also effective heat treatments, crucial for muscle and joint recovery.

• Magnesium Bath: A relaxing 40°C hot pool infused with magnesium, known for its ability to aid muscle relaxation and recovery.
• Finnish Sauna: A traditional dry heat environment that promotes detoxification and improves circulation.
• Mermaid-Esque Steam Room: A beautifully designed steam room, ideal for skin clarity and respiratory health.

Regularly alternating between these hot and cold extremes—known as contrast bathing—is scientifically supported to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, accelerate muscle repair, and enhance sleep quality over time.

Making the Most of Joo Chiat

To complete the experience, Ice Faction includes an in-house café and social lounge. Patrons can transition seamlessly from thermal therapy to refueling with protein smoothies and coffee, maintaining the communal atmosphere.

Although the location at 86 Koon Seng Road requires an approximate 18-minute walk from Marine Parade MRT station, this presents an excellent opportunity to explore the surrounding lifestyle and cultural gems of Joo Chiat, which is renowned for its architectural heritage and independent boutiques. Visitors are encouraged to stop at nearby establishments such as the quirky Heartware Store & Gallery or the popular bakery-café 174Bingo, turning the journey into a destination itself.

As Singaporeans increasingly seek out accessible and impactful ways to prioritize health, communal bathhouses offering therapeutic contrast therapy, such as Ice Faction, are proving to be much more than a fleeting fad—they represent a significant shift toward integrated, social wellness routines.

After a steep rental increase shuttered its original Siglap location, The Sundowner Singapore, a popular urban farm and nature experience center, has officially reopened at a significantly larger venue within the historic Old Bukit Timah Fire Station, promising expanded workshops and facilities for its loyal community.

Founded in late 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Sundowner quickly became known for its hands-on urban farming and unique interaction programs, particularly those centered on bees. However, the business recently announced via Instagram that it faced a crippling 130 percent rental hike at its original cosy, three-storey home, forcing an immediate relocation. The move, however challenging, is now positioning the couple-run enterprise for major growth.

New Venue Offers Broader Capabilities

The new premises at the Old Bukit Timah Fire Station represents a substantial upgrade in size and capability. This expansion addresses key operational limitations of its former site, allowing The Sundowner to deepen its commitment to experiential learning and community engagement.

The larger footprint accommodates numerous enhancements:

• Expanded Bee Colonies: More space is dedicated to the urban bee colonies, which are central to the center’s signature experiences.
• Professional Workshop Facilities: The location features proper kitchen setups, enabling a broader array of food and beverage classes, including pizza-making, cocktail-mixing, and coffee-roasting.
• Comfortable Craft Zones: Dedicated areas are set aside for hands-on craft workshops, where guests can learn to create DIY terrariums, zen gardens, and the popular beeswax candles.

Celebrating the Second Chapter with a Community Market

To mark its fresh start and welcome the community to the new location, The Sundowner is hosting a special Christmas Market on Sunday, December 28, 2025. Running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the event will offer a festive lineup of farm-fresh produce, handcrafted goods, artisanal gelato, and cocktails, alongside complimentary pizza.

The centerpiece of the market is a schedule of 30-minute mini workshops. These compressed sessions act as “teasers” to The Sundowner’s usual full-day experiences, allowing attendees to sample varied programming for only $20 per session. Participants can select from activities ranging from introductory bee encounters and mead-making to kombucha-brewing and ice baths.

The market is designed to be family-friendly, welcoming children and pets, and serves as an excellent introduction to its regular curriculum before guests commit to a full-fledged experience package.

The Sundowner is now located at 260 Upper Bukit Timah Road, within the Old Bukit Timah Fire Station. Interested visitors can check the latest program schedules and make bookings directly through the official website. This relocation signifies more than just a change of address; it secures the future of a beloved local business, allowing it to scale its mission of connecting city dwellers with nature and sustainable urban living.

This dual launch marks a significant Singapore debut for the gastronomic innovator, following closely after the opening of the world’s largest Pierre Hermé store in the same complex. Pairet’s concepts, Moutarde and Sundae Royale, offer contrasting yet equally compelling French dining experiences within the burgeoning food corridor.

Moutarde: A Celebration of Classic French Carvery

Taking residency at Weave, Moutarde by Paul Pairet establishes itself as a straightforward, high-quality French bistro. The name, which translates simply to “mustard,” hints at the restaurant’s core focus: expertly prepared, generous meat cuts.

Singapore’s vibrant dining scene continues its rapid expansion with the arrival of renowned French chef Paul Pairet, who has simultaneously launched two distinct food and beverage concepts at the new lifestyle enclave, Weave, within Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). This bold, dual debut follows the high-profile opening of a massive Pierre Hermé boutique in the same location, solidifying Weave’s position as a premier destination for international gastronomy and luxury treats.

Pairet, celebrated globally for revolutionary dining experiences, shifts gears for his Singapore entry, presenting a grounded, approachable French bistro alongside a premium, nostalgia-driven dessert parlor.

Moutarde: A Celebration of Classic French Carvery

The first concept, Moutarde (meaning “mustard” in French), channels the spirit of an unpretentious, classic Parisian bistro, anchored by a focus on expertly prepared meats. Designed to evoke the experience of a traditional British carving trolley, Moutarde’s center stage is a lavish carvery service, offering expertly selected, flavorsome cuts.
