Singapore’s rooftop playground HighHouse and its creative sibling NOVA have announced a September calendar that blurs the lines between gastronomy, performance, and spectacle. More than just a nightlife program, the series is a curated descent—or ascent, really—into the sensorial, where Michelin-starred chefs, world-class bartenders, and boundary-pushing DJs convene above the city skyline.
This month’s programming crescendos toward NOVA’s one-year anniversary, marked by a carnival-themed blowout with Italian techno duo Agents of Time, but the road there is lined with richly textured experiences: immersive dining with Chem.lab, cocktail storytelling from Vietnam’s rising-star SAVOR Cocktail Club, and the return of The High Table, an ongoing collaboration that pairs fine dining with fine drinking.
Futures Feast: Rethinking the Meal Itself
The month begins with Futures Feast, an experimental dining workshop hosted by Chem.lab. Here the meal becomes both object and subject, a conversation starter about what food might mean tomorrow. Guests don’t just taste—they interact, analyze, question. It is part science, part theatre, and wholly immersive, pushing the act of dining into philosophical terrain.
Coast to Toast: Vietnam Edition with SAVOR Cocktail Club
On September 12, HighHouse continues its Coast to Toast guest shift series with a Southeast Asian neighbor stepping into the spotlight. Vietnam’s SAVOR Cocktail Club, based in Ho Chi Minh City, brings its unique mythology-driven mixology to Singapore for a one-night takeover.
Founded by Dinh Thép, crowned Vietnam Bartender of the Year 2023, and his creative partner Huy Ngô, SAVOR has built its reputation around cocktails as narrative devices. Each serve is imagined as a story—often drawn from the ancient Greek symposium tradition—where gods, heroes, and legends pour into the glass alongside vermouth, spirits, and bitters.
At HighHouse, their cocktails will be paired with the city’s own soundtrack: Vietnamese DJ V-South, known for fluid genre shifts, will guide the atmosphere from intimate and mellow to electric and euphoric. Tickets are priced at $35 nett, inclusive of two drinks, and can be purchased online.
The High Table Returns with Michelin-Starred Guest
Later in the month comes the second edition of The High Table, featuring none other than Chef Rishi Naleendra, Singapore’s first Sri Lankan chef to win a Michelin star. Known for his modern, ingredient-focused cuisine, Naleendra will collaborate with HighHouse’s bar team to create an evening where the plates and pours speak in dialogue. It’s not so much a dinner as it is a culinary concert—textures, flavors, and aromas building into harmony.
NOVA Turns One: Carnival in the Sky
September’s climax arrives with NOVA’s one-year anniversary celebration, staged as a carnival high above the clouds. Expect pop-up installations, roving performances, and a headline set by Italian DJ duo Agents of Time, whose blend of melodic techno and hypnotic soundscapes has graced festivals from Sonar to Tomorrowland. It is part dance floor, part spectacle, a night engineered to etch itself into memory.
Where Nightlife Meets Narrative
HighHouse and NOVA’s September calendar demonstrates how nightlife can be more than background music and cocktails. Here, every event is conceived as a story, one that extends from the bar into the kitchen, across the turntables, and out into the wider imagination. For those looking to move beyond the usual rhythms of city life, it’s an invitation to taste, listen, and wonder—high above it all.
