We will soon get to experience one of Taiwan’s hugely popular Shilin Night Market on our home grounds!

You can expect a bonanza of Taiwanese and local street munchies like fried chicken cutlet, grilled beef cubes, sweet potato fries, and bubble tea! And if the wafting scent of sizzling food, the idea of making your own bubble tea at Gong Cha’s Lab, and pop up stores offering artisanal goods, from fashion to lifestyle, doesn’t tempt you, there’s still much to do at Singapore’s Shilin Night Market!

A sea of brightly lit lanterns and rainbow-colored windmills will give you a perfect backdrop as you snap away some insta-worthy shots. With the Streets of Taiwan art mural walls, you’ll feel like you’re actually standing in the streets of Taiwan. But don’t just stand there, give your vocal chords an exercise with POWER K!, try your hand at the various carnival game booths—the human claw machine is a must-try—and wrap up your night with a leisurely movie screening.
