Besides shopping at Orchard Road, pop down to the Local Gourmet Fiesta and taste signature dishes by six popular Singapore restaurants
Think Orchard Road is just a haven for retail therapy? Think again. Come 21 April, see the popular shopping district turn into a four-week triple threat – Fiesta On A Great Street – where you can shop ’til you drop, play harder than ever and eat to your heart’s content.
Foodies, listen up! One of Fiesta On A Great Street’s highlights is the Local Gourmet Fiesta, a dining pop-up at Shaw House. From 21 to 23 April, revel in samples of signature dishes from six major restaurants, including Good Chance Popiah and Keng Eng Kee Seafood. Aspiring chefs can even take a dig at the culinary art by joining masterclasses led by a sterling roster of guest chefs. Seats are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, and registration fee costs $28.21 per person. For the greater good, 20% of food sales and masterclasses proceeds will go to Singapore Red Cross Society.
Not a foodie? Not a problem. Shopaholics can treat themselves to a number of fashion and beauty promos and deals at participating malls such as 313@somerset, Forum The Shopping Mall, Takashimaya Shopping Centre/Ngee Ann City, Orchard Central, Paragon, Scotts Square and Wisma Atria. Let the shopping games begin!
