This new karaoke joint in Singapore has vibrant themed rooms and affordable $9.90/pax 2-hour sessions
Gone are the days where KTV joints were dark, nondescript, and filled with the telltale scent of cigarettes. Ever since K.Star opened its first outlet in Singapore, things have taken a fun turn with rooms boasting futuristic neon-lit decor and adorable character designs. The family-friendly chain now has multiple branches under its belt – including those at hotspots like Orchard and the revamped CQ @ Clarke Quay – and a new one has recently been added to the list.
K.Star's latest opening is located at Leisure Park Kallang. Unlike most of its other outlets, it's not quite central, but it's a stone's throw from the Singapore Indoor Stadium and National Stadium – making it a great spot to pre-game with your favourite songs just before a concert. Now, where was this when we needed it during Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour last year?
The entrance and corridors of this particular K.Star outlet is similar to the rest – sleek, steely, and almost spaceship-like. But its rooms bring a colourful surprise with themes featuring your favourite childhood characters including Donald Duck, Super Mario, Doraemon, Barbie, and the gang from Toy Story. There's also a yellow polka-dotted room with framed art by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Make your booking in advance to ensure you secure your favourite one!
It's not just the themed rooms you can look forward to – prices are wallet-friendly as well. K.Star Leisure Park Kallang has a special promotional rate of $9.90 per person for two-hour sessions from Mondays to Thursdays, between 12pm to 7pm. That works out to just $4.95 per hour, which is even cheaper than some hawker meals. This ongoing happy hour rate is specifically for the thematic rooms which fit up to six persons, but no worries if you're just going in a pair or trio, because you're not required to fill up the room to its maximum capacity.
If you're in need of a good date activity that won't bust your wallet, this would be a cute option aside from our list of other affordable date ideas in Singapore.
As for those who are keen to hang out in a larger group, check out the outlet's other promotions

Morgan Wallen review – country's biggest star sings of whiskey, heartbreak … and more whiskey
Morgan Wallen's world domination continues apace. The country singer's last two albums spent 29 weeks at the top of the US chart. This week his latest, fourth offering, I'm the Problem, had the biggest opening week of the year so far in the US as well as going straight in at No 1 in the UK. This prodigious achievement may owe a little to a canny release strategy: streaming metrics mean that longer albums often chart higher, and I'm the Problem weighs in at a staggering 37 tracks. Equally, all 37 are in the US singles chart this week, setting a new record – Wallen is a commercial phenomenon, the biggest country star to cross over to mainstream success since Taylor Swift. Like Swift, Wallen's tours have graduated from arenas to stadiums, which makes this rare intimate album-launch show a spectacularly hot ticket. The preshow queue, in which Stetsons and cowboy boots figure large, stretches way down Chalk Farm Road in north London: 'I hear 300,000 people tried to get tickets for tonight,' marvels Wallen. Yet it is hard to see why there is quite that level of fuss. Not even Wallen's fiercest defenders would claim he is remotely groundbreaking. A laid-back, mustachioed, regular guy possessed of an easy-going charm, he simply perches on a bar stool and plays smooth, well-crafted country and western powered by earworm melodies. His six-piece band are slick and his lyrical themes are repetitive. Wallen sings about drinking to forget women who leave him because he drinks. He bids these escapers from his serial doomed relationships a self-pitying, passive-aggressive adieu: 'If I'm the problem, you might be the reason.' Then he drinks some more, and longs for their return. These laments have the ring of authenticity. Wallen's appeal rests largely in him being a flawed everyman figure (with two recent court convictions for public intoxication). The maudlin Superman finds him sighing that his toddler son will one day learn of his dad's transgressions: 'That bottle's my kryptonite, brings a man of steel down to his knees.' It's hokum, but oddly moving. Love Somebody has a melody as exquisite as Fleetwood Mac at their most swooning as Wallen craves a romance 'stronger than the whiskey'. The witty wordplay inherent in all the best country is present and correct: Whiskey Glasses begins, 'Poor me… pour me another drink.' And then Wallen takes his leave and ambles off to notch up a million more streams.
