There’s a certain thrill in the unfamiliar—tasting a flavour slightly askew from memory or writing something too honest to say aloud. This weekend, GRAZIA Singapore invites you to veer off the well-worn path and chase the frisson of uncertainty. Whether it’s through a daring new establishment reimagining Singaporean classics, a writing salon sparked by a film unraveling deep desires, or a hands-on encounter with the craft of exquisite timepieces, this is a lineup curated for the curious and the bold.
Friday Night: Rediscover Homegrown Flavours At Belimbing

Just in time to stir up a little National Day pride, a new restaurant is reimagining what Singaporean cuisine can be. Helmed by chef Marcus Leow and brought to life by the team behind The Coconut Club, Belimbing serves local fare that’s both fresh and deeply rooted. Housed in a restored shophouse, the space is lined with rattan and anchored by a sweeping mural from artist Dawn Ang. Familiar flavours like otah, crispy meesua, and gado-gado come together in unexpected harmony to deliver a love letter to home—just told in an updated accent.
Belimbing is located at 269A Beach Road, Singapore 199546.

Sunday Afternoon: Celebrate Durian Season with a Luxe Durian-Themed Afternoon Tea

Durian season is upon us, and you know what that means: rich, creamy indulgence with a side of Singaporean pride. The Mao Shan Wang Durian Afternoon Tea returns to the Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, bringing back its wildly popular spread of durian-laced sweets and savouries. Set on a whimsical tree-inspired stand, this experience is anything but ordinary. From brûléed custards to durian tartlets sculpted like the fruit itself, each bite reimagines durian through an elegant lens. Complete the experience with blends from Singapore’s own TWG Tea, or a flute of champagne (if you’re really feeling it)—an ode to durian done right.
The Mao Shan Wang Durian Afternoon Tea runs till 31 October at the Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, 320 Orchard Road, Singapore 238865.
