Naruto exhibition runs into Bangkok this May

Time Out29-04-2025

Bangkokians are always ready for action, especially when it's about their beloved Japanese anime. This time, Naruto fans can gear up to jump into the ninja world as the exhibition Naruto The Gallery brings the spirit of Konoha right into the Big Mango.
After debuting in Singapore to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Naruto anime, the exhibition is now set to arrive in Bangkok. It will be held at RCB Galleria 1–2 on the second floor of River City Bangkok, from May 31 to July 31.
Over two decades, this Shonen Jump manga series, later adapted into an anime, has captured the hearts of both kids and adults worldwide. In many ways, we grew up alongside the journey of ninja Uzumaki Naruto, from a mere student to the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Now, this exhibition is set to bring these iconic characters to life across seven zones. Experience legendary anime scenes, explore original storyboards, uncover character designs and relive the pivotal moments that made this anime a must-love.
Some highlights include a detailed diorama of the beloved setting, a section dedicated to memorable quotes from characters and an exclusive collaboration with five rising stars from the Japanese art scene. Featured artists include Kohei Kadowaki, an animation artist; Kosuke Sugimoto, a video artist; and Kohta Morie, the founder of MORIE Inc. Each will reinterpret famous scenes from the anime in their unique style, offering perspectives that can only be seen at this exhibition.

Debenhams shoppers rush to grab £78 watch that is 'mistaken for Rolex' before Father's Day

'Excellent looking watch! Great shine, perfect case size and good weight.' With Father's Day just around the corner, a watch can be a quality gift to give your loved ones that is both practical and heartfelt. What's better is that Debenhams is holding a massive sale on many popular timepieces so you won't need to break the bank. One issue that can arise when buying a watch is that the style may be perfect, but your preferred colour is not part of the advertised selection. If this is a common issue shoppers encounter, we have found a watch that has six different colourways available. The STÜHRLING Original Lineage Classic 42mm Quartz Watch normally retails for £720, but shoppers can snatch it up for £78.75 after a massive 89 per cent discount. Designed with a sleek polish and an ultra-thin profile, the Lineage watch is sure to look elegant for a formal event as well as become a go to timepiece for everyday wear. Boasting luminous stick hands and hour markers, these are perfectly framed by a striking fixed coin edge bezel. Powered by a Miyota 2315 Japanese quartz movement, this watch will consistently keep its wearer on time no matter the occasion. Finished off with a 20mm stainless steel link bracelet, this timepiece is said to provide "sharp looks and supreme comfort". As mentioned, this watch is available in six colourways on the Debenhams website. However, shoppers will need to be quick to grab their favourite as some of the designs are noted as having limited stock left. Customers can choose silver, two-tone or a rose gold bracelet and either a white, black or blue dial. STÜHRLING Original Lineage Classic 42mm Quartz Watch. Product Description Another watch available in the sale is the STÜHRLING Original Ascot Quartz 38mm Classic Watch which features a leather strap. Normally retailing for £400, shoppers can now grab this elegant black and rose gold watch for £60 after a 85 per cent reduction. Alternatively, H. Samuel has reduced the price of the Citizen Men's Blue Chronograph Watch. Usually priced at £250, shoppers can now get this stunning silver and blue watch for half the price at £125 just in time of Father's Day. However, many shoppers have been interested in the Lineage Watch, which has an array of positive reviews from delighted shoppers on both the Debenhams and Stuhrling websites. One happy watch lover said: "This a very stylish watch and is great for dress and casual. A dead ringer for that expensive watch that begins with an 'R', but I don't need to mortgage my home to own it!" Another shopper agreed, writing: "The watch looks amazing, the first time wearing it, I had so many compliments and multiple people asking is that a Rolex; it just kept shining on your wrist during the whole meeting. Great purchase." However, a third shopper wasn't pleased with the size of the watch. They said: "The watch is fine but the strap is VERY large. My husband is 6'1" and we had to have a jeweler take a full inch out of it which was a nuisance." Fashion deal of the week In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices. Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon. With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis. The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet. Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air". Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway. With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable". One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." Whereas, another reviewer wasn't happy with the quality: "It's a nice looking watch but unfortunately it doesn't feel as good as it looks, I'd say it feels like a Seconda" Despite this, a five-star reviewer commented: "Excellent looking watch! Great shine, perfect case size and good weight. Great watch for the price!!!" With a further shopper praising: "I have a Stuhrling watch for many years and love it so I decided to buy one for my husband as a surprise and he loves it. He has worn it since the day he received. I would buy again." Click HERE to buy the STÜHRLING Original Lineage Classic 42mm Quartz Watch. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

5 new restaurants in Singapore to check out this June 2025

June is here, and with the mid-year mark comes a fresh crop of new restaurants in Singapore waiting to be explored. From rooftop Italian dining inspired by coastal lighthouses to sizzling chicken offcuts that'll change the way you think about Korean barbecue, you'll want to make space on your calendar – and in your belly. This June, you can sip on aperitivo by the sea at 1-Alfaro, dive into bold Latin American flavours at Cudo, and join the hype train at Tokyo's cult-favourite Pizza Studio Tamaki. There's also something for noodle lovers – Kyo Komachi brings regional Japanese udon specialties to Vivo City – and a whole new take on KBBQ at Korea's Song Gye Ok. Here are the hottest new tables in Singapore to book right now. Explore Singapore's 2025 restaurant openings by month: 1. 1-Alfaro A brand new lifestyle destination by 1-Group, the folks behind well-known concepts like Wildseed, Atico Lounge, and Botanico @ The Summerhouse, launches this month. 1-Alfaro takes inspiration from the lighthouses of Emilia-Romagna in Italy, and fittingly, this new spot is perched on the rooftop of Labrador Tower, overlooking the sea. Dig into classic Italian plates and sip on aperitivo – the restaurant La Torre and bar La Luna at 1-Alfaro are run by the same team behind Monti, so you know they mean business. Feast on a spread of handmade tagliatelle ($28) and pinwheel pasta ($22), grilled meats ranging from Australian ribeye ($148) to Iberico tomahawk ($78), and then mosey over to La Luna for sundowners, whether it's wines (from $12), cocktails (from $16), or sharing jugs ($40) that you fancy. Once the sun sets, the mood turns electric with a live DJ spinning till late. Address: Labrador Tower, Level 34, Singapore 118479 Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8am-1am; Sat 10am-1am; Sun 10am-midnight Expect to pay: Around $80 per person with drinks. 2. Song Gye Ok Think Korean barbecue and you'll most likely picture thick strips of samgyeopsal (pork belly) or slabs of galbi (beef ribs) over the grill instead of chicken. But prepare to have your perception changed after June 5, because Korea's famed grilled chicken restaurant Song Gye Ok is opening its doors in Singapore. The chain commands hour-long queues in Seoul – and mind you, these hungry patrons are usually locals, not tourists. Head down to Telok Ayer to sample Song Gye Ok's assorted grilled chicken platter ($98), featuring six chicken cuts including rare bits like chicken neck fillets, gizzards, hearts, and chicken breast softbone. It's a medley of textures and flavours that highlight the oft-overlooked parts of the chicken that can be just as delicious as the thighs, wings, or drumlets. On top of that, you'll also find Modu 's samgyetang on the menu – in particular the perilla seed, collagen, and spicy hangover soups. Address: 113 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068582 Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11am-3pm, 5pm-10pm; Sat-Sun 11am-10pm Expect to pay: Around $60 per person including additional sides to share. 3. Pizza Studio Tamaki The pizza fever in this city never dies, and Tokyo's Pizza Studio Tamaki is here to prove it with its legendary Tokyo-Neapolitan slices. This popular pizzeria from Roppongi officially opens to the public on June 10, taking over a unit in Duxton where the cocktail bar Tippling Club used to be. Maybe it's because of its celebrity-endorsed status (both Justin Bieber and Jeff Bezos have dined here) or its stamps of approval from Michelin and 50 Top Pizza, but we hear PST has already racked up some 2,000 reservations in its opening month alone. What sets the pizzeria apart is its dough, lightly fermented for 30 hours for a softer, fluffier texture, which is almost mochi-like in the way it pulls apart. The peel is also dusted with a fine layer of salt before the pizzas are slid on and fired up in the oven, adding a subtle savoury touch to each bite. Address: 38 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088461 Opening hours: Daily noon-3pm, 5pm-11pm Expect to pay: Around $60 per person with drinks. 4. Cudo The people behind Siri House and Mediterranean restaurant Moxie bring us Cudo, a new Latin American restaurant at Stanley Street. Executive Chef Steven Chou spent years travelling around New York, New Jersey, Mexico City, and Cancún, so everything at Cudo is tinged with the same punchy flavours and soul. A popular pick here is the lunchtime exclusive Cubano – sandwich stuffed with pork jowl, belly, Emmental cheese, and pickles – which is part of a reasonably priced $28 lunch set. But if you're dropping by for dinner, you'll get to try Chef Steven's Disco Fries ($16) – golden fries baked with Cotija cheese, beef gravy, chorizo, and salsa; and the squid ink pasta ($36) with lobster bisque cream and grilled tiger prawns. Stay for desserts like the tres leches ($14) with milk-soaked sponge and coconut cream, or the toffee plantain ($15) topped with vanilla ice cream. Address: 13 Stanley Street, Singapore 068732 Opening hours: Mon-Thu 11.30am-10.30pm; Fri-Sat 11.30am-11.30pm Expect to pay: Around $90 per person with drinks. 5. Kyo Komachi Remember when Himokawa udon (wide, flat noodles from Gunma, Japan) took the internet by storm early last year? Now, Umai in Guoco Midtown won't be the only place you can visit to try this unique dish – you can also check out Kyo Komachi in VivoCity, an udon-specialty restaurant highlighting the many versions of udon across the different regions in Japan. All the noodles here are handmade with Unryu wheat flour, imported from Japan. The signature Himokawa udon set ($14.90) comes with two sauces – pick curry for a richer flavour, sesame sauce, or the classic shoyu if you prefer something lighter. While you're here, sample the other udon dishes, including comforting, bubbling pots of Nabeyaki hot pot (from $16.90); white curry udon (from $12.90) from Ebisu, Tokyo; or fusion maze-udon (dry noodles, from $16.90) with toppings like ebi chilli, tom yum, or basil.

Ayrshire restaurant reopens after huge makeover as part of £2.5m renovation

An affordable market menu has also been introduced with two courses on offer for £20. The Brig o' Doon in Alloway has officially reopened its restaurant after a five-month refurbishment and expansion. Now called Tales, the restaurant inhibits a purpose-built wraparound extension which also includes a lounge bar, private dining room and elevated public spaces with views of the River Doon. ‌ Purchased by the RAD Hotel Group from Costley & Costley in 2022, the Brig o' Doon has undergone a number of changes as the new owners invest in the hotel, restaurant and wedding venue. ‌ And the restaurant refurbishment marks the completion of the iconic venue's £2.5 million makeover. Ayrshire Live were invited to the soft launch of the restaurant which took place last week and over the weekend. The interiors have been curated by Lucid Interiors in collaboration with co-owner Vivien Kyle and relaxed, modern feel which is still in keeping with the hotel's past. ‌ An effort has been made to incorporate parts of Alloway's history and heritage with a hand-painted mural by artist Roderick McKenzie featuring a scene from Tam o' Shanter. ‌ The name and concept of the new restaurant is rooted in the poetic legacy of Robert Burns who famously penned many of his greatest works just steps from the hotel on the iconic Brig o' Doon bridge. Tales will operate seven days a week from noon until 10pm offering seasonal Scottish cuisine and sweeping views of the River Doon and gardens below. ‌ The menu features a range of cuisine to suit all tastes including traditional Scottish delights such as steak pie, Japanese-inspired BBQ pulled pork Bao Buns and The Immortal Smashed Burger for the burger aficionados. And it doesn't disappoint while the ample portion sizes leave enough room for a dessert such as the raspberry and white chocolate tiramisu. ‌ On Mondays to Thursdays before 6.30pm, Tales offers a more affordable two-course Market Menu for £20 which includes options from the full menu. ‌ RAD Hotel Group co-owner Vivien Kyle said: 'I wanted Tales to feel like stepping into a storybook. Something rooted in heritage but filled with imagination. 'Each space feels like its own chapter, from the cosy booths to the visual anchor of the riverside views. The palette, textures, and layout are all about creating little moments of magic.'
