LUNAR NEW YEAR EDITION Downtown East Bustles With New Experiences

14 January 2022 - Lift your spirits as we roar into the Lunar New Year and soak in the spirit of romance on Valentine’s Day. Downtown East raises the curtain on the Tiger Year with new experiences, new openings, and programmes this month and next.

This season, the charming zodiac animals in shimmering lights set the backdrop of Downtown East. Families visiting the lifestyle destination have so much to look forward to.

Cartoon Network surprised viewers around the world on 8 Jan with a re-energised channel experience called “Redraw Your World.” To celebrate the launch of the new brand chapter, a flurry of activities await at Downtown East's Open Plaza from 4 – 13 Feb (pg 3).

Fuss-Free Reunion Meals

If cooking up a storm isn't your thing, don't worry. You can feast on a hearty Chinese reunion dinner at E!Hub and E!Avenue. We have selected the top three reunion sets (yep, we know hotpot buffet is among your faves!) with the best deals (pg 5) – and NTUC Plus! and Plus! members, don’t forget to redeem the awesome goodies such as red packets and sets of travel size Tiger Balm Ointments, from now till 31 Jan, while stocks last (pg 4).

Dining Under The Stars

It’s a double celebration in February with Valentine’s Day. Couples are in for a real treat with a one-of-a-kind staycation at Downtown East (7 – 28 Feb) – a romantic outdoor dining experience right at the doorstep of your container - hotel staycation (more on pg 4).

Only Women Get It

The Lunar New Year also welcomes the recently-opened Ark Liv fitness gym. Ladies, listen up: work-out solo or with your gal pals (no gym bros) at this friendly female-only gym. There’s even a rock climbing wall located in the gym – the first women-only rock climbing facility in Singapore – besides the wide range of cardio and weight stack machines.

With much thought put in for the female clientele, Ark Liv has ensuite bathrooms and vanity area.
