We are approaching the end of 2020, which means the festive season is upon us.

But before you head off to do your Christmas shopping, there are a few things you can do still! If you’re a foodie, you’re in for a treat as this weekend promises many new food places to check out.

Here are five things to do this weekend:

1. Chase Pokémon around Singapore

Gotta catch ‘em all! In a collaboration between Pokémon GO and the Singapore Tourism Board, there are now 300 news PokéStops and Gyms at various lifestyle and tourist attractions all over the island, such as Changi, East Coast, Chinatown, Joo Chiat, Katong, Kampong Glam, Mandai and Kranji.

This initiative is part of the ongoing SingapoRediscovers campaign, in a bid to promote local tourism during the current COVID-19 pandemic. You can find out more here.

2. Try the new Coffee Milk Tea ice-cream at McDonald’s

McDonald’s is introducing a new Coffee Milk Tea ice-cream series that will hit its stores islandwide by this weekend. The new ice-cream flavour comes in cones ($1), sundaes ($2) and McFlurries ($3).

On top of that, the Double Samurai Beef Burger and Ninja Chicken Burger ($6.20 each) are returning to the fast-food restaurant’s menu for a limited time, along with the Seaweed Shaker Fries.

3. Have a drink at a new rooftop bar

The menu includes Boneless Korean Fried Chicken Wings ($18++) and Singapore Cereal Prawns with Salted Egg ($24++) as well as Cé La Vi’s signature cocktails such as the Happy Afternoon with Vodka, lychee, and coconut (S$17++).
