Istana Open House on Sunday 1 Nov 2026: Free Entry for Singaporeans and PRs, First Narrated Changing of Guards

Harry's is running two back-to-back deals on its Rewards app this November. From 1 to 15 November, 3pm to 8pm, members get free-flow Truffle Fries with the purchase of any alcoholic drink or mocktail per person at the table, at every outlet except Changi Airport, and it stacks with the Happier Hour menu that runs in the same window. Then from 16 to 30 November, the 'Stache & Stout promo gives members with a real or fake moustache their first Guinness half-pint free (once per lifetime), and everyone, moustache or not, can order up to 3 Guinness pints at $11 each (usual price $18) with an eligible food purchase. Both are dine-in only, redeemed by showing the in-app voucher before ordering.

Six zi char kitchens worth the trip, from Keng Eng Kee's flat-priced $93 crab and Kok Sen's Big Prawn Hor Fun to New Ubin's daily 50% deals and Uncle Leong's $38 crab. Menus, prices and promos were read off each restaurant's own ordering site or promo page on 27 October 2026.

Genki Sushi is giving away a free Salmon Mentai Sushi when your bill reaches $30 nett, from Tuesday 27 October to Sunday 15 November 2026. The catch is where: only 4 of its 22 outlets take part (Chinatown Point, Plaza Singapura, Tampines Mall and Sembawang Shopping Centre). Here is how the $30 nett threshold works out against menu prices, outlet hours, and how it sits alongside the Crayon Shinchan menu and the DBS/POSB free maguro sashimi offer.

Six places to buy sneakers in Singapore, from Limited Edt's eight local shops and JD Sports' ION Orchard flagship to Leftfoot's running wall at Mandarin Gallery and Novelship for sold-out pairs. Every store, sale and code below was read off the retailer's own site on 27 October 2026.

Seven bookshops worth the trip, from Kinokuniya's Takashimaya flagship to a 452 sq ft Chinese indie in Joo Chiat, with the member discounts, delivery thresholds and SG Culture Pass rules for each. Checked on every shop's own site on 26 October 2026.

The Woodleigh Mall in Bidadari has quietly become one of Singapore's densest enrichment clusters: its own directory lists 27 kids and enrichment tenants under one roof, five minutes from Woodleigh MRT. This guide maps all 27 by subject so parents can plan a one-stop timetable: academic tuition (Mind Stretcher, The Learning Lab, Mavis, The Eton Academy and more), Mandarin (EduGrove, Chengzhu at Julia Gabriel, Berries), English and speech (Jan & Elly, Speech Academy Asia, The Write Connection), music (Aureus Academy, Vienna Music School), dance, art studios, taekwondo, right-brain training and coding. Verified trial hooks where published: Mind Stretcher's 1-week unlimited trial at $99 plus GST, and bookable trial classes at Aureus, EduGrove and Dancepointe. Units and phone numbers for all 27 included.

GymKidz's Olympics Camp runs 14 to 18 December 2026, 9am to 12pm daily at The Cage in Kallang, splitting kids into Olympic Cubs (ages 3 to 6: football, hockey, frisbee, captain's ball, dodgeball) and Olympic Grizzlies (7 to 9: swap hockey for touch rugby). It is structured coaching rather than free play, from a company that has run children's physical development programmes in Singapore for 20 years, and the camp page carries a 5.0 Google rating from parents. The fee is $450 for the week or $100 a day, with 10% off for registrations by 15 November, and GymKidz has given MissLobang readers an exclusive code, MISSLOBANG5, for 5% off at registration. The two discounts do not combine, but the code stays valid until 13 December, nearly a month after the early bird closes.

POPULAR has opened textbook pre-orders for the 2027 school year, and the maths plus the queue-skipping both favour ordering early: members get 5% off school textbooks, every order of $120 nett earns a $5 reward for the next purchase, and school supplies run up to 70% off alongside. Two fulfilment routes: free store pickup at any POPULAR outlet (pay only when you collect, they contact you when it is ready) or home delivery with a $9.90 delivery and processing fee per order, where you can upload the school booklist wholesale instead of hunting titles one by one. The catches: school-specific exercise books and stationery are not offered, the $5 reward comes as a cash voucher for pickup orders but a promo code for delivery orders, and orders close 20 December 2026, while stocks last.
