A family that eats together stays together, and we believe it's the best way to cut that birthday cake with Singapore! Explore some of the best restaurants, and their signature National Day-themed dishes to make this celebration the most delicious one yet!
Singapore may be that little red dot on the world map, but size does not define the strength of a lion. In the hearts of every Singapore resident, the country has only grown 59 years stronger, younger and more vibrant. So we say the only way to really celebrate the glory of this nation is with a feast that signifies its accomplishments and is fit for a lion (aka our family). If you hadn’t guessed, we are big foodies here (especially when it comes to local food!), so we had no trouble putting together this list of the best National Day dining promotions for you and your little cubs to devour to make this National Day celebration memorable. So wave your Singapore flags high, sing the national anthem strong and let the feast begin!
