K.STAR (Plaza Singapura)

K.STAR at Plaza Singapura is the space-themed outlet in a chain built around themed rooms, on level 4 of the mall above Dhoby Ghaut station.

The rooms are the point here rather than an afterthought — a space concept running through the outlet, with individual rooms done out as anime, carnival and retro sets. That puts it at the decorated end of Singapore karaoke rather than the plain-room end, and the pricing sits above the budget chains to match. It stays open into the early hours, later at weekends.

It suits groups who want the room to be part of the occasion — birthdays, a night that starts here rather than ends here, and anyone who has been photographing the evening anyway. Families use it in the afternoons. Sitting on top of a three-line interchange makes it one of the easiest KTVs in the city to reach and leave late, which is worth more than it sounds at 2am.
