Presented by Hublot, the worldâs leading alchemist of revolutionary timepieces, 1965: Swinging Sexy Singapura (the 14th edition of the Rice Ball) will transport guests back to the Swinging â60s â a time when the streets and clubs of Singapore were already abuzz with life, noise and music, and history was being made every day.
Travel back to a time when Singapore was already a cosmopolitan city, blending and bridging East and West with nary a swamp or mudflat in sight! In a heady cocktail of glamour, music and history, rediscover the bustling port that was then known as the Hollywood of the East.
Have a blast in the past as we serve up a sumptuous banquet celebrating the richness and diversity of local cuisine. Revisit the glitz and sparkle of Singaporeâs hedonistic club scene â from Tropicana to Barbarella, via Bugis Street â in Cabaret 65, a variety show directed by Ivan Heng and Glen Goei and featuring a galaxy of Singaporeâs brightest stars led by Pam Oei, Kumar and Judee Tan.
