Time flies! We are already halfway through 2021 and while the June holidays may be coming to an end, there are definitely things to do before the hustle and bustle of school (or work) resumes.

The creators of the local card game The Singaporean Dream released another game, Hawker Wars, on Jun 22. 

The game was created to celebrate the various elements of our unique Singaporean Hawker Culture, especially during these trying times hawkers face because of COVID-19. 

Players get to take on the role of a hawker and compete with other players to cook as many dishes and earn as many points.

2. Try some minion-themed desserts
