Food is the one thing that brings us all together, so dive into these National Day-themed menus as a nod to Singapore's birthday.
Every National Day brings with it a cheery new song, red-and-white hues all over the land, and restaurants everywhere whipping up locally-inspired food. We’re obviously obsessed with food – as evidenced by our constant crop of new restaurants and bars. But, while we’ll never tire of local dishes, our curiosity for fresh takes on crowd favourites will never die down. That’s why chefs in Singapore put together special National Day food menus every year – and we all flock to ’em. Want a sweet deal or a unique take on classic creations? You’ve come to the right place.
