How these gamers found their tribe in Singapore's arcades
By CNA/Joyee Koo
When was the last time you visited an arcade? For some arcade enthusiasts, it's become their "second home" where they build friendships and a community through gaming.
Two of the most popular games are Maimai - where players hit circles in sync with the visuals and music - and Pump It Up, where players step on arrows that move towards the top of the screen.
Ronald Santoso, Hor Zheng Jie and Amos Lim met while playing Pump It Up and have been friends ever since.
Daniel Ling and Tang Wai Jing were brought together by their shared love for Maimai.
'Our bond has grown beyond gaming – we celebrate milestones together, hang out outside of the arcade, and support each other in life. Connections like these are truly special,' said Zheng Jie.

Popular pizzeria Casa Vostra opening new outlet at Jem in September
Casual pizza and pasta hotspot Casa Vostra may have launched its first restaurant a year ago at Raffles City, but it continues to attract daily queues today. The no-reservations eatery currently has an average queue time of 45 minutes during peak mealtimes on weekdays and an hour on weekends. SECOND OUTLET OPENING THIS SEPTEMBER AT JEM MALL Hopefully, the lines will ease with the opening of its second outlet at Jem mall in Jurong East on Sep 1. Casa Vostra takes over the space formerly occupied by Marche on the first floor of the heartland mall. MORE SEATS AT UPCOMING JURONG BRANCH The bad news: You'll still have to queue for a table at the Jurong outlet. The good news – there are more seats here: 80 versus 60 at Raffles City's outlet, which may or may not ease waiting times. While the folks at Casa Vostra have yet to reveal any exclusive dishes and prices for its Jem outlet, some of its signature dishes are expected to remain on the menu, says its PR representative. Some of the dishes we think may be included are: Prosciutto e Rucola Pizza and Carbonara Rigatoni. Similar to the Raffles City outlet, all pastas at Jem will be handmade and some of its preserved meats like guanciale are cured in-house. WALLET-FRIENDLY PRICES Casa Vostra's Raffles City menu currently features 18 pizzas, including options like Mortadella and Tartufo e Funghi (ham with truffle and mushroom). It also serves 16 pasta dishes, including the tasty Agnolotti del Plin bathed in lush chicken jus and butter sauce. Prices for pizzas and pastas at the Raffles City outlet range from a wallet-friendly price point at S$15 to S$28, though they may differ a little at the upcoming Jem location, says the brand's PR representative. The Italian chef-owner Antonio Miscellaneo, 52, tells that the same flavoursome pizza dough will be served at the outlet in Jem: 'It all begins with a mix of unrefined and low-refined Italian flours, which is then made into dough and fermented through different stages and temperatures for 72 hours.' 'The dough is further shaped by pizzaiolos, and baked in a wood-fired oven at 460°C for a base that's crispy, airy and melt-in-the-mouth all at once.' The man is right, declares our food editor, a fan of his pies. Several new dishes introduced in April this year at Raffles City will also be available at the Jem outlet. The dishes include: PROSCIUTTO E FICHI PIZZA A savoury-sweet number layered with salty Parma ham, sweet fig puree, bitter, nutty rocket leaves, umami Parmigiano Reggiano, crunchy candied walnuts and gooey Fior di latte cheese. Pretty addictive paired with the crisp, puffy-edged crust, says our food editor. BAKED SCAMORZA A tiny but mighty-tasting appetiser of stretchy baked cheese, which boasts an irresistible smoky flavour and oozy mouthfeel that's lovely with a drizzle of honey. Shiok. MAMMA'S AGLIO E OLIO This simple dish of house-made fresh spaghetti with garlic, chilli, fresh parsley and a scattering of sun-dried tomatoes is inspired by chef-owner Miscellaneo's mum's recipe. HOW CASA VOSTRA WAS BORN Since opening its doors at Raffles City Shopping Centre last July, Casa Vostra has been drawing massive queues. The pizzeria is co-owned by the quirky and talented otaku Italian chef Antonio, who began his culinary journey with private dining concept Casa Nostra ('our home' in Italian) at his condo. After closing his home diner, Miscellaneo launched his first commercial eatery: The award-winning La Bottega Enoteca, a slightly upmarket brick-and-mortar Italian restaurant in Joo Chiat. From there, Casa Vostra ('your home' in Italian) was spawned – initially as a home delivery service, offering more affordable pizzas out of a central kitchen in Tai Seng. Next came its thriving dine-in equivalent at Raffles City and soon, Jem. Casa Vostra was opened in collaboration with F&B company the Ebb & Flow group, which is also behind other food concepts like tapas bar, Carlitos. Stay tuned to Casa Vostra's socials for updates on exclusive dishes as well as the opening date of its Jem outlet.

Tourism bump from Lady Gaga concerts raked in up to estimated $150m for Singapore economy
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox US pop star Lady Gaga performed a sold out concert in Singapore at the National Stadium on May 18, the first of her four night shows at the venue. SINGAPORE - Lady Gaga's run of four Singapore-exclusive concerts in May raked in an estimated $100m to $150m in tourism receipts for the Republic, say experts. While this was a fraction of the $350 to $500m that Taylor Swift's and Coldplay's concerts in March 2024 generated in total, it still solidified Singapore's position as a premier concert destination in Asia, they said. Figures published by American music and entertainment publication Billboard in end June show that Lady Gaga's Singapore concerts grossed US$40.8 million (S$52 million) from the sale of 193,000 tickets. The monthly report of top-grossing concerts showed that her only stop in Asia on the Mayhem tour, held at the National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21 and 24, averaged around $13 million per night. The stadium can hold about 50,000 people. These were Gaga's only ticketed concerts in May, since her May 3 show on Copacabana Beach in Brazil to 2.5 million people was free. Maybank economist Brian Lee said tourism receipts related to Lady Gaga's concert may amount to between $100 million and $150 million. He noted that the $52 million of revenue of Gaga's May 2025 concerts is half of the $104 million brought in by Taylor Swift's March 2024 concerts in Singapore. Concert revenue primarily refers to ticket sales, whereas tourism receipts encompass spending by overseas visitors on everything ranging from accommodation and food and beverage, to shopping and services.

Figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) show that inbound visitors grew by 8 per cent year-on-year in May 2025. In contrast, visitor arrivals jumped 43.5 per cent year-on-year in March 2024. 'The smaller tourism boost from Gaga concerts compared to Taylor Swift is not surprising, given Gaga's smaller and more niche following,' said Mr Lee of the numbers, adding that the uncertain economic climate may have also dampened demand for travel and big-ticket discretionary spending. 'In contrast to Taylor Swift's completely sold out shows, demand for Lady Gaga's was more lukewarm with last minute tickets still available and resellers slashing resale ticket prices,' he added. It appeared that tickets took longer to sell, with checks by The Straits Times showing unsold tickets still available up until the week of the concerts. It was a sentiment mirrored by Associate Professor Kiattipoom Kiatkawsin from the hospitality and tourism management degree programme at the Singapore Institute of Technology, who also attributed Gaga's smaller economic impact to playing fewer days than Swift's six - where the number of tickets and overall tourism receipts may be proportionate to the show size. He also alluded to Swift being at the peak of her popularity during her Eras tour concerts in March 2024, unlike Gaga, whose Mayhem album had only been released a few months prior. 'All three world-renowned artists, including Coldplay, may well be on par when it comes to economic impact as well as building Singapore's reputation as a premier destination for global entertainment for the region,' he said. 'The success of these concerts contributes to a virtuous cycle, where successful events attract more artists, which in turn draws more international visitors and enhances Singapore's brand as a vibrant cultural and entertainment capital,' he added. However, experts also expect a quieter second half of the year for mega concerts on the scale of Gaga, Swift or Coldplay. In terms of marquee events, the Formula One (F1) Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix in October has a jam-packed line up with the likes of American rock band Foo Fighters and British legend Elton John, while K-pop megastars Blackpink are due in the Republic in November. While the concert calendar might appear quieter in terms of new announcements for top-tier acts for the second half of year, Prof Kiatkawsin said it does not necessarily indicate a long-term slowdown. It is not uncommon for the second half of the year to have a different rhythm in terms of concert announcements, as the planning and logistics for top-tier international tours often take considerable time, and announcements can be staggered throughout the year, he said. 'Furthermore, Singapore's strategy is not solely reliant on a continuous stream of mega-concerts but also on a diverse portfolio of events, including major sporting events like the F1 Grand Prix, Mice (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions), and other cultural festivals,' he added. However, Maybank's Mr Lee said that tourism will not likely be a major boost to Singapore's growth in 2025, as headwinds persist. 'The trade war and heightened global economic uncertainty will likely dampen both business and leisure travel.'
