PUBLISHED August 5th, 2015 09:38 am | UPDATED May 14th, 2018 11:55 am
We’re firm believers of the notion that a family who eats together, stays together. Since Singapore is undoubtedly one of the hottest foodie capitals in the world, there’s no better time to gorge yourself silly with family and friends than over the SG50 long weekend.
This week’s patriotic edition of the weekly grub includes a community movement to share home-cooked recipes, two delicious dim sum buffets, chili crab with a twist, and a gastronomic adventure by Dom Pérignon.
Dim Sum Buffet at Feng Shui Inn
With Hong Kong Chef Li Kwok Kwong at helm, Feng Shui Inn will be presenting an a la carte Dim Sum buffet this August, where guests can expect a sumptuous feast of appetisers, soups, roast meats, dim sum, and desserts. Definitely order the flavourful Honey-glazed Barbecued Pork, the sweet-savoury Crispy Yam Pastry with Custard Salted Egg Yolk, and the moreish Crispy Cod Fish with Chili Fragrant Salt. As an SG50 treat, each guest will also receive a complimentary Baked Egg Tart with Bird’s Nest (and a quite a healthy portion of the latter, too)!
Priced at $50 nett per person, Feng Shui Inn’s dim sum buffet will be available daily 7-10 August and every Friday and Saturday till 29 August 2015. First seating is 11am-1pm, second seating at 1pm – 3pm. For every three paying adults, the fourth adult dines free.
#SgEatWithUs
Being a multi-cultural society, we’re blessed with an assortment of delicious and diverse culinary styles. And #SgEatWithUs – a community movement that seeks to build a bond between Singaporeans through food – is presenting a massive food fair showcasing 12 home-cooked recipes by 12 local chefs with heart-warming stories this long weekend. These dishes will be available for purchase and you’ll also get to witness exciting live cooking demonstrations at the same time.
#SgEatWithUs is running from Friday, 7 August 2015 to Sunday, 9 August 2015 at Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade from 12pm to 10pm. Admission is free.
Cove99
The Chilli Crab has always jostled with Chicken Rice and Laksa for the title of Singapore’s national cuisine, but whatever you may consider the popular crustacean dish to be, it is doubtlessly an integral component of Singapore’s culinary fabric. At Cove 99, the iconic dish will be making a comeback as part of the modern Chinese restaurant’s SG50 dining promotion. Enjoy the scintillating flavours of de-shelled Chilli Crab at $29 (after 50% discount), while slurp up freshly shucked oysters at $5 each to top a hearty dinner off.
Cove 99’s promotion is running from now till Monday, 31 August 2015 or while stocks last. Valid for dine-in only, reservation is advised. There is also a minimum of two oysters per order, per method of preparation.
Mitzo Restaurant and Bar
Putting a spin on yum cha (traditional Cantonese breakfast/afternoon tea), the ultra-sleek Mitzo Restaurant and Bar pays homage to Singapore’s total years of independence by offering a brunch at $50++ per person (food only, usually $68++) over the National Day weekend. Expect signatures like the Mitzo Special BBQ Pork and new plates such as the Crispy Prawns with Spicy Mango and Stir Fried Osmanthus Chicken. Love your tipples? Top up $50++ for free flowing cocktails, wines, and beer.
