Love local? Us too! Here are all the fabulous local businesses in and around Singapore that scooped gold and silver in our Love Local Awards 2023!
After the success of our inaugural awards last year, we couldn’t wait to run our Love Local Awards 2023! We wanted to continue to recognise those businesses that make family life in Singapore a whole lot easier. And let’s be honest, there’s a lot. Whether it’s our favourite fam-friendly restaurant or our go-to local toy store that can always be relied upon, we think these businesses, and the teams behind them, deserve the spotlight.
We whittled down the list to final nominations, and after receiving all your votes, and counting each and every one of them, we have our winners! Read on for your Love Local 2023 Gold & Silver winners, as chosen by YOU!
And to say a BIG thank you to our readers for taking the time to vote, we also had a prize draw to win a fabulous stay at Club Med Bintan, courtesy of Club Med. Congratulations to our winner (check your email!)
