Looking for something fun to do this March school holidays?
South Korea’s popular pink bear Bellygom has landed in Changi Airport for its first-ever Singapore showcase.
Inspired by Singapore’s Peranakan culture, the event will run from March 13 to May 3, said Changi Airport Group on Friday (March 13).
The showcase features a seven-metre-tall inflatable Bellygom that can be found among the Peranakan shophouses at Terminal 3’s departure hall.
Visitors can also pose for photos with Bellygom’s friends such as Ja-ah Dochi the hedgehog with ice gem biscuits, Daldal-Guri the raccoon with a cup of kopi and Malamala the yoga teacher with tingkat carriers.
At basement two of Terminal 3, visitors will find more photo opportunities with Bellygom and friends, such as outside an old-school provision shop and kopitiam, complete with an HDB void deck table.
Backdrops inspired by familiar Singaporean neighbourhood sights are available here.
For those looking to take a break, the ST3PS area has also been decked out in a garden picnic theme, where visitors can unwind alongside Bellygom and friends.
Those looking to do some shopping can check out the pop-up store, which offers Bellygom merchandise ranging from T-shirts to lunch bags, keychains and plush toys.
Another two pop-up stores can be found in basement two of Terminal 3 and level two of Terminal 4.
Bellygom Hawker Carnival
Ready for some carnival fun? Head over to the Bellygom Hawker Carnival at Terminal 3 for five hawker-themed game stalls inspired by Singapore’s local flavours and prizes.
These include a Hokkien mee stall where players step into a giant inflatable wok and catch air-blown ingredients to complete a dish, and a traditional dessert stall where participants can enjoy a ball toss game to recreate beloved local treats.
Others include Malamala Drinks, where visitors can spin a wheel for a drink order and complete it by knocking down tins of the ingredients, Belly’s BBQ, a satay stick-tossing game and Chilli Crab, where players must fish out the ingredients for the dish.
Visitors can win prizes, including Bellygom merchandise such as plushies and keychains, vouchers for sweet treats including The JellyHearts cheesecake and ice-cream from Swensen’s at Changi Airport. Exclusive Changi Rewards (CR) merchandise can also be won.
To participate in the carnival games, visitors must spend a minimum of $30 (or $80 for supermarket purchases) at participating outlets in the public areas of Terminals 1 to 4, and redeem five free carnival credits via the Changi App. Spending with Mastercard would allow the redemption of three more carnival credits.
Alternatively, credits can also be directly purchased on the Changi App at 30 for $30 or 60 at $50, and paying with Mastercard would entitle five additional credits. CR members can also redeem five carnival credits with 1,000 CR points from the rewards catalogue.

On weekends from now until April 5, Bellygom will appear for meet-and-greet sessions at Terminal 3. CR members who spot the mascot and flash their CR card via the Changi App will receive a surprise gift, and non-members who sign up on the spot can receive complimentary carnival tokens.
