For new flight redemptions made between March 7 and 23, KrisFlyer members can enjoy a 20% discount on the miles needed for economy flights across the worldwide Singapore Airlines network. This discount applies to all Saver- and Advantage-level economy redemptions operated by Singapore Airlines, with no blackout dates for travel between May 1 and Nov. 15.

“The incredible thing about London is the diversity of the people, and that's also reflected in the food scene,” says the Indonesia-born and Singapore-raised chef Rahel Stephanie. But when she first moved to the capital, in 2013, to pursue a degree in fashion, she found it lacking in Indonesian options. To cook the food she wanted to eat in the city, Stephanie began hosting dinner parties for her friends and sharing dishes she grew up with, such as nasi campur (rice with meats and veggies), as well as innovative recipes of her own creation, like pandan blackberry blondies. Eventually these feasts evolved into the Indonesian supper club Spoons, launched in 2019, which has branched out into culinary residencies and pop-ups throughout London at esteemed restaurants including Orasay in Notting Hill and The Sea, The Sea in Chelsea. When she's not cooking, Stephanie pursues the less touristed sides of London, away from the city center: mom-and-pop shops, avant-garde music venues, and a bar that serves her favorite tomato-flavored tipple.
