K!dz Pop Con Asia 2026

Back at K!dz Pop Con Asia again, and this year, the booths were more spread out. I like that it was easier to navigate and had more space to think/ spend. We managed to finish most of the booths within a day, call me crazy, but I prefer to have more things so that I will FOMO. Lol! The bouncy areas were the highlight as usual. The area was as large and the children actually went for 2 session - literally the first and the last thing they did. 

After which, we went round the booths. The kids particularly enjoyed booths with crafts. As this year, it was held slightly before the June Holidays, I was a little bummed that there were not as many enrichment class vendors. I would have loved to get a few discounts and fix up some June Holiday Classes for them. Food was affordable and there was good variety this year. You don't have to step away to fill up your tummies!

This year, our favourite booth had to be Syrena, the mermaid's booth. There was so much to do there - including a balloon bubble, shiny face painting, playing with the gymnastics ribbon. All for free too. Plus the whole booth was very instagrammable. Bluey also made special guest appearances at their booths. More excited than the kids, cos I watch Bluey and they don't really. Haha.  I was a little sad this year My Little Pony didn't set up a booth because I am a huge fan. 

Toy Story 5 had a booth and their activities and free goodies were absolutely the best! We even ended purchasing some tickets to the upcoming movie. KPop Demon Hunters also had a booth just to sell merchandise only. Overall, I thought it was still a great, well-priced event. Maybe I was spoilt by last year (read my review here), I just want more! In any case, we can't wait for their next installment next year!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Musical

I am not a 100% favourite fan of Roald Dahl (anyway he has a very interesting love life), so I wasn't really following on their musical. My parents got some tickets and decided to whizz the family off to join them in their very first musical. Initially, I thought the musical was not very well received because there were so many promotions going on. Turns out they are having an extremely long run in Singapore from 19 May – 14 Jun 2026 (almost a month). 

My parents were extremely excited and took photos with almost everything and anything! Lol! To be fair, the musical is not too bad and the whole theatre was packed, but not iconic in my humble opinion. The wardrobe and props were really impressive and the Charlie's mother had a great singing voice. It was visually my most impressive musical to date. But the songs were not catchy enough (like Wicked), so I left not having any potential playlist. 

It was my first time taking the back-middle seat. I thought it was not too bad, you can't really see the cast faces and expressions. I am kinda of regretting for always picking the side-front seat for the ballet. Now I will never know should the spacing between dancers. Unfortunately no golden tickets for us. 

If you are not too particular about the seats/ production, I have learnt that it is ok to wait. Money Saving tips: You need to have a UOB Card. If you want to get MBS cashback, you need to go to MBS to purchase the tickets at the counter. Otherwise, just buy online, it is easier. As and when, there is always some promotions. I don't see any patterns to date, you just need to follow them. But it is never for the best seats!

Edge - Best Buffet in Town

Back at Edge again for their "sea of flavours" cos I just can't get enough of them. This is one buffet place that I keep getting cravings for. I love their variety and how there is something for everyone. I also like how they continuously improve. Their oriental soup used to be very average, but now it is something I go for when I am there. 

Like my fellow Singaporeans, I decided to "attack" the seafood table. My favourite is always the snow crab. They are always generous with the pincers and each come with succulent chunks of meat. Diners usually swipe off a full plate for their table. Try to be there when they refill it. My husband went for the crabs, it was cooked in various gravy. Joy for the tastebuds!

Dishes to look out for this time round includes the Lobster Bisque with Cognac, House-smoked Pork Belly and 12-hour Braised Tajima Wagyu Beef Short Rib. I was super surprised to see Frog Leg being served too. Must try is the Mayura Station Chocolate-fed Wagyu Beef with Ponzu and Braised Leek! For the adults, the selection this time round was insanely awesome! I ate so much, I didn't have any room left for sashimi!

During our 3-hours long meal (yup that's how long we stayed), we even had mini quizzes and htht within ourselves. The kids didn't even watch any shows. I knew that was how engaged they were. After our chat breaks, we continued on with the desserts - the kids went for their favourite ice-cream and chocolate fondue. If you have limited capacity, skip their cakes cos they are not as outstanding as the rest. 

Best buffet in town, it just never disappoints. A perfect place for diners (especially big families) to celebrate any special occasions. For those who want to try "sea of flavours", it is here until 21 June 2026 (Fridays to Sundays from 6pm to 10pm)

$128++ per adult | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

$64++ per child (6 to 12 years old) | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

Best Indoor Playground - HappyWiz

For those who are living in the East, lucky you, I just might have found the best indoor playground to date. First of all, HappyWiz is huge. It easily has the tallest indoor playground slide in Singapore - I tried it myself, it is very thrilling even for the adults. It has the typical pretend play kitchens, hinoki pit and ball pit.

What stood out apart from their very tall slide was a cow which you could milk and feed. I truly have never seen anything like that in any other indoor playgrounds. It was pretty intriguing for the children, I think they might have spent a good half-an-hour just milking it dry. Lol. 

For other play sections, HappyWiz does it better that their competitors. There was also a car repair area with costumes and a trampoline area which is linked to a screen, so you could see yourself hopping up and there. In the ball pit, there was a basketball hoop and a giant float which you could climb on to shoot. As the area was huge, their structure hid many slides, obstacle areas and even a mini flying fox. Some of the obstacle areas even lit up! You probably can even play a legit game of hide and seek!

The whole place was very vibrant and well-lit. Not a priority but every photo came out awesome! :P As a parent, I am quite torn between playing and taking the chance to take a breather. I ended up climbing the structure and sliding down most of their slides. Like most places, they also offer the birthday packages and they have proper space to host. Off the top of my head, I can only think of 2 places/locations which can do that. 

Their only disadvantage is that they are in a rather new mall - imall. It is not the most convenient. But we did a bit of exploration and found it was still worth to be a destination place because imall have an interesting food selection which you probably won't find elsewhere. Either which, you could just cross over to Marine Parade, Katong Streets or iKatong to find something yummy to fill the tummy. 

Like the children, I absolutely adore this. I just hope that they have a little more outlets so that groupbuys will be launched. :D Would suggest going for a 3 hours package because trust me 3 is not enough :D

Mother's Day Quiz with Pigeon

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there. If I may be honest, being a mother is one of the most tiresome journey. There are days I would if I didn't have kids, I probably would have so much more spare time. But how I use it would probably be a waste of resources (watching more dramas maybe). At the same time, it is also meaningful, sharing your day, knowledge with the (appreciative) little ones. They still hug, kiss and massage me. Can't be sure if they are older it will still be the same. 

Pigeon launched quite a cute quiz on what sort of motherhood care we are. It is incredibly accurate and it phrases every type of care beautifully. The why we do it is very true! It is a bit of a fairy tale like storyboard with scenarios that are extremely relatable on a day-to-day basis. Very fun for mothers and maybe even fathers :P
