London’s cult-favourite BAO is bringing its latest concept, BFF (BAO Fast Foods), to Singapore for a limited-time pop-up at New Bahru from 11 November to 28 December 2026. Part fast food joint, part Asian convenience store, BFF puts a playful spin on Taiwanese comfort food and everyday snacks as shelves are stocked with local favourites, grab-and-go bites, and BAO merch. The Singapore outpost is a chance to try the evolving concept before its first permanent location opens in 2027 (country to be confirmed), with new menu items rolling out throughout the pop-up’s run. 

The star of the show is the Chicken Chopper, a Taiwanese fried chicken steak developed through more than 140 iterations, with soymilk batter and tapioca starch coating the meat for a juicy centre and light, crackly crust. Choose from Original Crispy, Flamed Glazed or Master Scalded, then pair it with riceboxes, Dan Dan Noodles or a special Cup Noodle that’s topped with beef carved from a slow-roasting spit. There are several Taiwanese craft teas, too, alongside lighter grab-and-go options such as egg sandos, marinated eggs, quinoa “fried rice”, and soy pudding desserts. Beyond the food, BFF will even host a series of talks co-hosted with Remedial Kids exploring connection and community in an age of hyper-convenience. Consider it a quick-service stop with a little more to chew on.

Campari Group Is Bringing More Italian Spritzes To Singapore

Campari Group is expanding its Italian aperitivo portfolio across Southeast Asia, bringing four new names to join Aperol and Campari. The six-strong line-up spans everything from bright and fruity to bold and bitter, as well as alcohol-free options, giving Singapore drinkers more ways to embrace the Italian tradition of an aperitivo: that golden hour before dinner spent catching up with friends over a light drink and something to eat. At the centre of it all is the spritz, traditionally made with an aperitif, prosecco and a splash of soda.

Joining Aperol and Campari are Sarti, a vibrant pink aperitif with notes of blood orange, mango and passion fruit; Cynar, an artichoke-based aperitif with a more herbal, bittersweet profile; Mondoro, a premium sparkling option; and Crodino, the alcohol-free Italian aperitivo that has been around since 1965. Leading the regional expansion is Sarti Rosa, which has been gaining attention in Europe and the US for its fruity, approachable character and striking rosé-pink colour. With Singapore's year-round warm weather, busy bar scene and appetite for lighter, social drinking occasions, Campari Group sees the city as the starting point for bringing its take on aperitivo culture to the region.

In Singapore, the group will also host a series of masterclasses led by brand ambassador Bystrik Uko, where guests can learn how to build the perfect spritz, including Sarti, and recreate the aperitivo hour at home. The sessions will explore the different serves across the portfolio, alongside the food and hosting rituals that make aperitivo more than just a pre-dinner drink.

Writers Bar is giving cocktail hour an Italian twist with the launch of Aperitivo Hour, a permanent new addition starting from 9 September 2026. Available every Tuesday to Thursday from 7pm to 9pm, the literary-inspired bar will serve six cocktails designed around the gentle bitterness and herbal notes that define the classic aperitivo. Expect live music, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of excuses to settle in for a drink or two before the rest of the evening begins. 

The menu puts approachable spins on Italian classics, including The Easy Choice, a sparkling combination of Aperol, dry vermouth, watermelon, and Champagne, as well as Garibaldino, which adds mezcal to Campari, orange, and mandarin for a smoky taste. Summer in Milan takes the Negroni in a tropical direction with coconut and mango foam, while the Little Dirty Bamboo combines sherry, vermouth Bénédictine, and olive brine. Better still, Writers Bar has also refreshed its food pairings with new additions to their bites menu including Beef Tartare Costini, Lobster Roll, and Frozen Tomato Bruschetta. Think of this as the best way to ease into the Raffles Hotel charm.

The steakhouse takes its beef seriously, dry-ageing cuts in-house for a minimum of 45 days to concentrate flavour and tenderise the meat before cooking it over a wood-fired grill for an added layer of char and smokiness. Sides rotate seasonally, with current options including cauliflower cheese, baby carrots, Brussels sprouts and mash, while future additions will include green peas, Cameron Highlands broccolini and hispi cabbage. Set within Stags Head's dark, intimate steakhouse, the Sunday roast is designed to be a relaxed weekly ritual with plenty to share.

Calling all spirit lovers—MO BAR has bottled its own signature gin, and you can try it in an exclusive cocktail flight. Created in collaboration with local craft distillery Distillius, MO BAR Edition No.1 Gin is the bar’s first-ever house spirit, developed over the course of a year as part of its ongoing exploration of Singapore through cocktails. Inspired by the historic Old Tom gin style, the bespoke spirit is infused with botanicals including dried mango, mandarin, osmanthus and coriander seed, with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc that lends a floral complexity to its rounding finish. Housed in a striking ceramic bottle inspired by traditional Chinese plum vases, it’s decorated with illustrations of Singapore’s national flower, making it just as display-worthy as it is drinkable. 

Plus, to celebrate the launch, MO BAR is rolling out The First Edition Experience throughout the month of August, a three-serve tasting flight showcasing the gin in different ways. Start with a neat pour before moving on to a refreshing signature Gin & Tonic, then finish with your choice of either the tropical M.O. Mango Gimlet or the savoury M.O. MAMI Martini. And don’t worry. If you fall in love with the spirit, the limited-edition bottle is available to purchase exclusively at Mandarin Oriental Singapore, whether you’d like it as a thoughtful gift or a stylish addition to your own home bar.
