Sync Saturdays Isn't your typical day party, it’s a weekly ritual of rhythm, creativity, and vibrant energy, curated by Haneri and B.LEO at RASA, right in the heart of Singapore. Every Saturday, the venue comes alive with a genre-fluid soundscape spanning house, R&B, nu-disco, funk, and hip-hop. The launch kicks off with Nash.D and Prav behind the decks, setting the tone for the sessions to follow.
But Sync is more than just music. It’s a platform for emerging and underrepresented creatives, think less club night, more creative playground. Graphic artists, vocalists, instrumentalists, and fashion designers are invited to take over the space, not simply to perform, but to experiment, collaborate, and connect with a like-minded creative community.
Guests are encouraged to leave with more than memories, a fresh perspective, a new collaborator, or the seed of an idea already in motion. Sync is where soulful beats meet inspired minds.

Indian Accent, the internationally acclaimed restaurant currently perched at number 46 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list for 2025 is joining hands with Raffles Hotel’s Tiffin Room to deliver a showcase of North Indian cuisine. On one side, Indian Accent’s contemporary flair, playful and precise. On the other, Tiffin Room’s steadfast devotion to the traditional ways. The result is a meal that stretches wide enough to embrace both modern and conservative palates, without ever losing its balance.
You start with an array of street snacks. First, Tiffin Room. Then, Indian Accent. A basil tart, then a black garlic dhokla—each restaurant taking its turn volleying flavour back and forth. Crunchy, soft. Sweet, then salty. Each bite tantalising the taste buds for what’s to come.
This format continues into the quartet of mains, where three dishes shone a little brighter than the others. The John Dory Fish, cradled in a fragrant coconut curry foam, was handled with a kind of care that allows flavours of warmth and creaminess to layer themselves subtly. The Murgh Curry, essentially just curry chicken, perfumed the mouth generously through its long simmering process, where aromatic spices mingled. And then the Braised Lamb Shank, sitting in a pool of baby turnip, prune, and mulberry korma curry. The fat had melted into something velvety, the sweetness from the fruits coaxing out the lamb’s delicate flavours. Fun fact, I hear the lamb was hand-carried by Indian Accent’s Executive Chef from New Delhi himself.
Between bites of the hearty mains came the flatbreads—Butter Chicken Kulcha and Cranberry Cheese Kulcha—each one a burst of flavour, supple and substantial.
And then, dessert. The finale. Look forward to offerings like the Rasmalai Cheesecake and Dodha Burfi Treacle Tart. One was smooth and unyielding, the other, candied and crumbly. Together, they formed a satisfying close.
For those who want the full symphony, there’s a wine pairing, carefully arranged by Tiffin Room’s resident sommelier. And for those who abstain, a vegetarian menu, just as thoughtfully composed.

For one day only, the pitch gets a cultural makeover. Singapore’s first-ever football-themed market arrives with flair, bringing together die-hard fans, vintage collectors, and lovers of cult cinema for a celebration that goes far beyond the game. Think old-school kits, rare trading cards, design-forward memorabilia, and the kind of football nostalgia that stirs up memories of muddy boots and sticker books.
Capping it all off is the legendary Shaolin Soccer—Stephen Chow’s martial arts-meets-football masterpiece—screening at 4:30pm in its original Cantonese. Equal parts absurd and iconic, it’s the perfect centrepiece for a day that champions football not just as a sport, but as a style, a story, and a subculture all its own.

If you've done any sauntering around New Bahru since its inception, you might've noticed a clanedestine Korean restaurant tucked in the corner of the ground floor. Odem, Singapore’s first craft Makkoli bar and restaurant, has recently released a new lunch menu focused on hearty one-bowl meals—each paired with banchan (think house-made kimchi and marinated quail eggs), rice, and seaweed soup.
Before we get to the mains, do yourself the favour of ordering their Brioche, a ridiculously addictive bun glazed with sweet soy, served warm with a smear of gamtae butter. Yes, we're still raving about it.
Weekend brunch brings the Kalbi Sando—beef short rib, perilla pickles, and aged cheddar on milk bread—and the refreshing Duck Guksu, featuring BBQ duck on perfectly chewy buckwheat noodles with perilla seed sauce. Chef Yumi’s Abalone Boribap, a nostalgic nod to her childhood, is a must: tender abalone, pearl barley, and a silky makkoli-abalone jus. These dishes are exclusive only to the weekend, so you'll want to make your plans accordingly. And yes, their makkoli flights are there if you’re feeling bold at noon on a Saturday.
Sidenote: They also have a weekday lunch menu, which includes the Hwe-Dupbap, a Korean-style chirashi loaded with fresh seafood, spicy perilla, and cho-gochujang, or the Seoul-Style Beef Bulgogi, where tender grilled beef meets crunchy veggies and glass noodles.
