Spending a Perfect Friday Evening at Marina Bay: Gastrobeats & i Light Singapore 2026

Gastrobeats 2026 - The People's Festival Let’s face it. Singapore can feel a little boring at times (at least for us). After a long, exhausting week at work, it usually feels like our options are limited to just another shopping mall or the usual dinner spots. GASTROBEATS 2026 - The People's Festival  So last week, I decided to shake things up for TGIF. My husband and I headed straight down to Gastrobeats 2026 . To be completely fair, I had one very specific mission in mind: the Coca-Cola booth. I am a massive Coca-Cola fan (hey Coca-Cola, if you’re reading this, wanna sponsor me? I can do a very good job you know!). But beyond my soda obsession, I just wanted a classic festival night filled with good food, thirst quenchers, and live music. It truly felt like a festival for the people. P.S. If you haven't been yet, you need to hurry! Gastrobeats ends this weekend on 28 June 2026 , so this is your sign to go before it's gone! And it's free, you know? Or you want a ...

Food Review | Tampopo

Stumble upon Tampopo when I was in town w the ladies and we made a deal to try out the next time we hang out. But since I'm in town w the husband, might as well try it out first. To save their calories from lousy stuff.

Tampopo is a family style Japanese restaurant that aim to serve with the best quality ingredients and is the pioneer of Kurobota (black pig) and has since named one of the best ramen in Singapore.

They have 2 restaurants in Singapore at Liang Court and Takashimaya. We visited the one at Takashimaya. 

IKA KARAAGE $11.00

This dish is tasty yet salty and have to go along with rice to minimize that saltiness. However this deep fried squid was good and chewy. Fresh ingredients indeed. Didn't squeeze the lemon as I always feel that it did not much help in enhancing the taste, like in Fish N' Chips.

KANI RAMEN $18.50

It didn't look that appetizing at one glance. But don't judge by its look. 


This is how it looks after mixing it. Lots of crabmeats you can find plus the noodles were well-cooked. The thicken soup base taste like sharkfins we had in a Chinese banquet. A good choice indeed. The egg was added in from their Mini Pork Rice ($4.80). The husband had the Ika Karaage with the Pork Rice. 

NABEYAKI UDON $13.50

Served in a mini hotpot, the broth was light and clear with just few ingredients to bring out the taste further. A light meal that simply ideal for weight watchers and comfort food during winter time. Definitely filled you 80% full towards the end. Unless you are a big eater.

Conclusion: Pricey but worth it once awhile.
