Diwali just got a whole lot sweeter (literally). Gully, the bold Indian street food restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Little India, is rolling out its very first mithai collection and it’s anything but ordinary. Think handmade sweets in vibrant flavours, savoury nut assortments, and even whisky gift packs that’ll make you the MVP of festive gifting. The Gully Mithai Sweet Box ($60+) comes with 10 sweets in five flavours (we’re talking rose, pistachio, saffron and more), while the Premium Box ($188+) goes all out with 16 sweets and four nut mixes—perfect for anyone who loves a little sweet-and-salty moment.

And if you’re feeling extra fancy? Pair those treats with the Indri Whisky Gift Pack ($180+) for a next-level Diwali surprise. Whether you’re all about motichoor laddus that pop with festive joy, or barfi that melts in your mouth, Gully’s collection is playful, colourful, and made for sharing. Pre-orders are open now with early bird specials until 30 September.

Prego at Fairmont Singapore is back with another round of vino-fuelled indulgence and this time, they’re whisking us straight to the Veneto. Following a sell-out Tuscan edition earlier this year, the Italian favourite is teaming up once again with Angra Wines for an exclusive wine dinner on Wednesday, 15 October 2025. Think a five-course menu by Chef Davide Bizzarri, each dish paired with standout pours from one of Italy’s most iconic winemaking regions.

On the menu? Crispy soft-shell crab with a glass of Zardetto Prosecco, silky cod mousse with a rare white blend, and a lush squid-ink risotto washed down with a bold Valpolicella. There’s also rich Venetian bigoli pasta and melt-in-your-mouth pork cheek paired with the king of wines, Amarone, before the evening wraps up with a dreamy tiramisu and dessert wine. Tickets are $128++ per person (yes, wine pairings included), and you can snag your spot online here.

Singapore is about to get its very first agave festival. On 27 September, Chimichanga VivoCity will transform into an agave heaven with over 30 different spirits to taste—think tequila, mezcal, and even Cocuy (making its Asia debut). Expect three and a half hours of unlimited tastings, margaritas in six flavours, plus plenty of delicious Mexican bites. Tickets start at $68 and come with drink tastings, cocktails, and even food vouchers (basically, a very good deal for a very boozy Saturday).

But the real showstopper? The festival is introducing Cocuy, Venezuela’s rare artisanal spirit, to Asia for the very first time, with only 60 hand-blown bottles of a special edition hitting Singapore.

Resorts World Sentosa’s whimsical whisky bar, Horatio, is raising the bar with the launch of its new series, Horatio’s Curious Companions. The debut edition features none other than Jay Gray, Singapore’s "proud bar dad" and co-founder of the acclaimed Sago House, and founder of our favourite Idle Hands. On Thursday, 25 September from 8pm to 11pm, Gray will take over Horatio for one night only, presenting a line-up of cocktails inspired by his global journey (plus a secret, password-only creation revealed exclusively on Horatio’s Instagram).

Far from a standard guest shift, this experience pairs cocktails with storytelling, music, and a touch of mystery. Gray’s career spans London, Sydney, and Singapore, with multiple award-winning bars to his name, and he’s set to bring that same passion and creativity to the Horatio stage.

ATLAS is turning the stroke of midnight into a moment worth celebrating. Every Friday and Saturday at 12am, the iconic Art Deco bar unveils Midnight Champagne—an elegant ritual that marks the hour with bubbles, glamour, and just the right dose of indulgence.

For $25++ a glass (usually $32++), you can enjoy a rotating showcase of Champagne, beginning with the lively Maxime Blin Carte Blanche Brut NV. Whether you’re wrapping things up in style or stretching the night just a little longer, it’s the kind of ritual worth toasting to.

Ron Zacapa Lands In Singapore

Rum isn’t just for beach bars and mojitos anymore. Enter Ron Zacapa, Guatemala’s crown jewel of luxury rum, here to shake up your sipping game.

Zacapa is crafted from the first press of sugar cane (not molasses, thank you very much), and then whisked away to age 2,300 metres above the clouds in the Guatemalan highlands. Translation: it’s smoother, richer, and seriously fancy. Add in their Solera System—blending rums through barrels that once held whiskey, sherry, and even Cognac—and you’ve got liquid gold.

There are two bottles you need on your radar. Zacapa No. 23 (from $250) is all caramel, vanilla, cacao, and buttery butterscotch vibes making it perfect for slow sipping. Then there’s the showstopper: Zacapa XO (from $400), aged up to 25 years and finished in French oak Cognac casks. Think toasted oak, roasted nuts, burnt caramel, and a cheeky splash of orange peel. Pair it with dark chocolate or, honestly, just a quiet night when you feel like something special.

After an exclusive “Aged Above the Clouds” launch at SUSHISAMBA late last year, Zacapa is now pouring at Singapore hotspots like SUSHISAMBA and Sugarhall. So, swap that basic G&T for something with a little more swagger. Because when it comes to rum, Zacapa isn’t just a drink, it’s a whole mood.

History buffs and food lovers, this one’s massive: Man Fu Yuan is bringing the legendary Manchu-Han Imperial Feast to Singapore for the very first time. First created in the Qing dynasty and reserved for emperors, the banquet traditionally spanned over 100 elaborate dishes across several days. This November, Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan, the first Singaporean formally trained in this imperial tradition, teams up with his mentor, Master Chef Qi Jinzhu (a direct disciple of the last Qing court chef) to present a two-night-only showcase.

Taking place on 8 and 9 November 2025, the “Auspicious Clouds” edition will serve over 20 meticulously crafted dishes that marry the robust flavours of Manchu fare with the refined nuances of Han cuisine.

Expect storytelling through food at its most opulent: the double-boiled bird’s nest broth The Phoenix Returns to the Nest; the painstakingly braised Kun Lun Abalone with dried grouper skin; an ingenious reimagining of the once-forbidden bear paw using pork skin and beef tendon; and a centrepiece roasted whole lamb slow-marinated in Mongolian aromatics. The evening unfolds with tea ceremonies, live orchestral music, calligraphy, and traditional dance to complete the imperial court atmosphere.

Priced at S$588++ per person, this is as close as you’ll get to dining like Qing royalty, and it’s only happening for two nights. Reservations are essential.
