As Singapore steps up its vaccination drive and restrictions are gradually lifted, more people are looking forward to leaving our homes! If you’re ready to unplug from your work-from-home (WFH) lifestyle and unwind with some safe, leisure time, we’ve got you covered.

Wine to unwind at Wine Mansion
For many people, nothing beats a good glass of wine to unwind after a long day. Research has shown that moderate amounts of red wine can help you de-stress — and it has nothing to do with alcohol. A natural compound found in red wine called resveratrol purportedly has anti-stress effects. So, take the heat off and chill out at Wine Mansion, with its impressive wine list and selection of small bites. Visit Wine Mansion at Katong V, #01-01.
Good vibes at Tipsy Panda
Known as the grooviest bamboo grove in the North, Tipsy Panda is a great place to get your vibe on. The contemporary bar is well loved for its cocktails, mixed and shaken with zeal and zest, and served with an assortment of Asian-inspired dishes such as Anago Claypot Rice with Bonito Flakes or Spicy Cumin BBQ Skewers. You can also head over in the day for lunch-only specials like Thai Basil Pork Shabu-Shabu and Crispy Chicken Katsu. Visit Tipsy Panda at Woods Square, #01-01.
Take a break at Wen’s Floral Studio
Did you know that surrounding yourself with flowers has several hidden benefits? Aside from being aesthetically-pleasing, placing flowers near your bed is said to improve sleep quality.
