Binge - Eat Up For Singapore! National Day Deals and Meals

It’s National Day round the corner, and I’m heading off next Saturday to catch of glimpse of the fireworks! Time to bring out the red and white t-shirt and shorts ensemble, get the kid a Giordano national day T-shirt and wave the little plastic flag from the hotel room balcony! Such excitement! And of course, it’s a perfect excuse to imbibe in some bubbly along the way. After all, despite the recent floods, the education system that strangles all notions of childhood, and the roller coaster ride at Universal Studios that refuses to start, Singapore is still a good place to live.

There’s lots of eating to in celebration of the 45th National Day. SimplyFab has been bombarded with tons of information on National Day deals around, so we’ll be sharing the love in a few parts – most of which revolve around eating. But what better way to celebrate Singapore than to indulge in our national pastime?

 

If you’re born in the month of August, you get to eat for free at The Line at Shangri-La Hotel, with three other paying guests from 7-9 August.

To get the free meal deal, you have to book in advance and it’s limited to a maximum party of 8 people for each booking. Birthday girl or boy has to bring along the IC for verification.
