To receive a free takeaway scoop of Rum & Raisin, simply show up at Sugarhall from 5.30pm on Sunday, while stocks last.

Secondly, Uniqlo's Orchard Central flagship store is running a tasty promotion from May 13 to 15.

3. Rose romance 2022

An idyllic Italian summer filled with roses comes to Flower Dome with Rose Romance at Gardens by the Bay. Held in partnership with the Embassy of Italy in Singapore, the floral display celebrates the beauty of the queen of flowers through a plethora of gorgeous rose varieties, set against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape inspired by Italy.

Aside from recreating the narrow, winding alleyways of Italian towns and the rustic, arcadian feel of Italy's countryside, the display also includes a representation of Verona's famous Juliet balcony from Romeo and Juliet as a nod to the play's Italian origins. Time to bring bae and recreate the iconic balcony scene!
