HaveFun Karaoke (Pasir Ris Mall)

HaveFun at Pasir Ris Mall is the one to pick if nobody in your group has been to a KTV before. Staff here explain the charges before you commit — which package covers what, when the rate changes, what the free-flow includes — and in a category where headline pricing routinely catches people out, that is worth more than a better sound system.

The rooms are heavy on neon, with artwork on the walls and coloured lighting rather than the beige box the category is known for, and they hold more than a microphone: there are pool tables and dart machines, so the half of a group that does not want to sing has somewhere to be. The largest takes twenty-five standing or fifteen seated. There is a kitchen rather than a warming cabinet, though the food divides opinion more than the singing does.

It works for families too: the song catalogue is the full multilingual one and covers what the children want alongside what their grandparents want. Worth knowing the rules before arriving — a two-hour minimum, no outside food or drink apart from birthday cakes, and corkage if you bring a bottle. It is on level 2, beside Pasir Ris station.
