If you are making plans for things to do for the upcoming Lunar New Year, here’s a great idea – visit Universal Studios Singapore!
The park gets all dressed up for the Year of the Rooster. Here are five things to include in your to-do list when you visit.
1. Take photos with characters in festive costumes
Catch Woody the Woodpecker, The Minions, the gang from Sesame Street, and Kitty Softpaws in their festive outfits which are worn for a limited time for the Lunar New Year.





2. Get Lunar New Year-exclusive merchandise
Available only during the festive period, these merchandise at the Universal Studios Store will make everyone smile: cute red packets with Sesame Street or The Minions, red packet holder and Mandarin orange bag.




Looking for decorations? Sesame Street babies plushies are perfect to brighten your house with cuteness.
3. Try Mala Turkey Leg
Introduced this month, the Mala-flavoured Turkey Leg adds an extra zing to this fan-favourite snack. The roasted turkey leg is coated with a layer of Mala sauce with Sichuan peppercorns, chili pepper and spices.

The numbness from the Mala sauce kicks in several seconds after you bite into the turkey leg. Your lips and tongue will tingle from this for a long while even after you’ve finished the juicy drumstick.
At about 20cm-long, the turkey leg is HUGE! After getting over the numbness of the mala on the skin, you’ll find the smokey flavoured meat that’s firmer than chicken.
Because of its size, you might need to share the turkey leg with someone else or you’ll feel too full to enjoy the other food at USS.
Find it at Marilyn’s …Has Great Legs food truck next to Hollywood China Bistro.
4. See Park decorations and cool window display
The Park is decorated with Lunar New Year decorations. They’re only up for a limited time and make great photo opportunities.


Don’t miss the window displays, especially those at Universal Studio Stores.

5. Walk through a Universal Journey
If you haven’t visited the Guinness World Record-breaking light display yet, you’re in luck. It has been extended until 12 February. Bring your camera and snap photos in all the eight themed zones.
Universal Journey is located at SoundStage 28. You can reach there by taking the path between the Brown Derby and Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase. Here’s a video with visual directions.
