Love local? Us too! So we decided to shine a spotlight on the fabulous local businesses in and around Singapore with our Love Local Awards 2021!
If we thought we were struggling in the ongoing pandemic, let’s share a thought for the many local businesses battling for survival too. We think now, more than ever, they deserve some recognition for the wonderful services and goodies they provide to make family life in Singapore a whole lot easier. Whether it’s our favourite fam-friendly restaurant or our go-to local toy store, they can always be relied upon.
So, this year, we decided to introduce the inaugural Love Local Awards 2021 – an awards series that allows us to shout about these amazing establishments and hopefully provide some much-needed cheer. Which, let’s be honest, we all need. Well, it goes without saying that the awards were a resounding success. We received more than 28,000 votes, and after counting each and every one of them, we have our winners! Read on for your Love Local 2021 Gold & Silver winners, as chosen by YOU!
