April may be the beginning of sunshine, spring, and the wedding season, but if those are not what you’re into, no matter. This week we have (free!) ice cream, an exotic dinner featuring the wildest game of your dreams, sunset cocktails, and a must-eat buffet for those who love crabs – remember to check back next Wednesday!
Sundown Affair at 1-Altitude
Looking at the sun set over Singapore’s skyline with a summery cocktail in hand and killer beats in the background – sounds like the perfect post-work chillax session, eh? From 6-8pm daily, 1-Altitude‘s daily soiree will see new resident DJ Lindo Martinez will soothe your tired with Nu-deephouse, vocal house, and other jazzy beats. The cover charge of $30 gets you one sunset cocktail and one housepour drink, a pretty good deal for such a sophisticated setting.
Ben & Jerry’s Flagship Scoop Shop at 313 Somerset
The folks at Ben & Jerry’s Singapore are opening their Flagship Scoop Shop at 313 Somerset Discovery Walk on 7 April 2015, Tuesday. And if you head down from 2-8pm, you get free ice cream!

Dine on the Wild Side with NOX
