Jewel Music Box (SAFRA Punggol)

Jewel Music Box at SAFRA Punggol is a karaoke studio on the fifth floor of the clubhouse at Punggol Waterway, three minutes on foot from Sam Kee LRT and about ten from Punggol interchange.

You take a room as a three-hour block, with free-flow hot and cold drinks and snacks included rather than billed separately, and board games, dart boards and drinking table games in the room alongside the sound system. This is the chain’s late branch, running well past the point where its other outlets have closed — which is the difference between a night that ends when you want it to and one that ends when the lights come on. SAFRA members take a discount on the VIP rooms at weekends with no minimum spend at all, and on weekday afternoons before five.

Agree how you are splitting the bill before anyone orders. Where members and non-members are in the same party, the discount is worked out on the members only, which is a conversation you want to have early rather than at the counter. Bookings online run from four people up to thirty; anything smaller or larger goes through the outlet, which runs two phone lines. If you want the late end of an evening rather than the early one, this is the branch in the north-east to pick.
