Go mad over hearty ramyun at Han Bun Sik
We’ve all been there – it’s 2 A.M. and our stomach’s grumbling at the sight of a glorious spread of mouth-watering Korean comfort food through our iPad screens.
Similarly, Han Bun Sik can make you salivate just the same with their authentic Korean Ramyun with a range of traditional flavours, emphasizing the harmony of the five tastes (spicy, bitter, sweet, sour and salty). Here, you can daydream (read: hallucinate) about sharing the warm meal with your oppa of choice. (Note: Oppa’s not included in set meals).
Get your knit on at Jens Craft
Crafting has been an up-and-coming trend since the pandemic where we were left to our own devices, entertaining ourselves in the confinement of our humble abodes – and crocheting is one of the many activities that caught Gen-Z’s fancy.
Arcades and movie hangouts are dated, so plan a date to co-learn about knitting and crocheting instead!
At Jens Craft, you can acquire skills for knitting in just under three minutes (talk about efficiency)! Scarves, hats, gloves or crop tops – craft your one-of-a-kind piece with no limitations on your creativity!
Print memories at Pica Pica
We live in a world where capturing moments has never been easier. With smartphones, we can reminisce over the good ol’ times whenever and wherever we want. Despite so, owning a physical copy of our favourite memories as a keepsake hits different.
Call it sentimental but you’ll be able to carry a copy of your memory in your wallet, on your desk or by your bed to remind you of the good times! The first leading photo printing kiosk – Pica Pica, allows you to do just that. Customise your snapshots by using their templates and BFF’s stickers to spice up an otherwise plain photo!
Smother your taste buds at Formosa
Experience bussin’ flavours of authentic Taiwanese cuisines at Formosa (the former name of the island). To preserve the authenticity of its dishes and maximise Taiwanese flavours, Formosa imports ingredients and sauces directly from the island, so you can rest assured knowing you’re tasting the real thing. Delight your tastebuds with classic Taiwanese dishes like Braised Pork Rice, Shi-lin Chicken Chop, Homemade Taiwan Sausage and more in this modest dining nook.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, folks! There is still so much to do at this bustling hub – check out the video here and visit Asian Avenue for yourself!
