Under S$30: This Week’s Best Cheap Thrills in Singapore
A S$10 feelings circle, a S$25 cult-wine tasting and S$29 dialect speed dating — proof this city can be fun without wrecking your wallet.
By Onz Editorial · 9 August 2026
"Singapore so expensive" is the national anthem, but this week quietly disagrees. Here are three genuinely good plans, all under thirty dollars — less than what some places charge for two cocktails.
S$10 — Circle of Feelings: Love Edition (Sat 15 Aug, 7pm, Proud Spaces SG). A guided circle about love, for the price of a fancy sandwich. The cheapest therapy-adjacent evening in town, and you might leave with new friends who already know your secrets.
S$25 — Sami-Odi Wine Tasting (Sat 15 Aug, 3–5pm, Flamingo Coffee & Wine, 68 Amoy St). Sami-Odi is the kind of small Barossa producer collectors hunt for, and two hours with their pours at this price is honestly a steal. Wear something that says "I do this often."
S$29 — Chinese Dialect Speed Dating (Mon 10 Aug, 2pm, near Stevens MRT). A public holiday special and reportedly Singapore’s first of its kind — flirt in Hokkien or Cantonese and let the awkwardness do the bonding. Cheaper than a first-date dinner, with better stories.
Total damage if you do all three: S$64 and one very full long weekend. Forward this to the friend who always says they’re broke — no excuses now.
