Everyone has their obsessions, and for a growing number of Singaporeans, that obsession comes in the form of blind box collectibles.

One of the many things to do when visiting South Korea is to take photos at their self-photobooths-and Keith Kok did just that during his graduation trip to the country in 2022.

The business offers wallet-friendly and accessible self-photobooth experiences, with pricing starting at just S$10 for two photo strips or one print.

Turns out she can't get enough, and believes that there's space for a "fourth wave" coffee culture-one that combines "speciality coffee craftsmanship with culinary innovation, new techniques and multi-sensory experiences."A lot of big words there, but what does it mean? Daphne's answer lies in Big Short Coffee.

When I went to McDonald's as a child, the Happy Meal was a highlight, not just for the nuggets, but for the surprise toy inside. The thrill of not knowing what I'd get-and the hope of scoring the one I really wanted-felt like winning the lottery. Two decades on, that same "lucky draw" excitement has been reinvented for adults through Pop Mart blind boxes, which are now selling like hotcakes around the world.
Home cafes are growing popular in S'pore, but here's why some F&B veterans are against the trend

From fluffy pancakes at Fluff Stack to the Instagrammable buns of America's Eggslut, some of the most beloved F&B names have folded under pressure in Singapore. But while these brands have shuttered, a quiet counter-movement was brewing-right in our HDB corridors and landed homes. Home-based cafés are flourishing, offering iced lattes and sourdough buns from dining tables and makeshift counters.
These S'poreans started a pasta biz 3 yrs ago, now it's grown to an F&B chain with 13 outlets

Pasta might be easy to find in Singapore, but it's usually part of a fancier dining experience, not something you'd grab on a quick lunch break. But TWSYT flips that script-think of it as the fast food version of pasta. The homegrown chain offers pastas that are affordable, customisable, and best of all, served fast, making it a convenient option for busy Singaporeans who crave a hearty meal without a hefty bill.

Singapore has never had a shortage of bubble tea brands, and among the sea of options stands Woobbee-a homegrown brand founded in 2010, best known for its signature pei pa koa milk tea. At the time of its launch, renowned names like Koi and Gong Cha were only beginning to gain traction in Singapore, and there was also a lack of local brands that specialised in bubble tea, especially in those that catered to Singaporean tastes.
