#national day dining deals singapore 2026

L'Espresso at Goodwood Park Hotel has rebuilt its English afternoon tea buffet as 'The Local Palate' — a Singapore-flavoured spread of Crispy Soft Shell Crab Sliders with Singapore Chilli Crab Sauce, Beef Rendang with Kaffir Lime Leaves and Toasted Coconut served with Crispy Prata, Butter Chicken Pizza, and a dessert run of Ondeh-Ondeh Cake, Pineapple Financier, Raspberry Rose Bandung Cake and Mango & Gula Melaka Gelato. For the whole of August 2026 the hotel is charging a flat $61 per adult for it, to mark Singapore's 61st birthday. Here is the bit the reposts miss: $61 is a single price replacing TWO different usual prices, so what you actually save depends entirely on which day you book. L'Espresso normally charges $65++ per adult Monday to Thursday and $68++ per adult Friday to Sunday and on public holidays — so the flat $61 saves you $4++ midweek but $7++ at the weekend, which in real money after service charge and GST is $4.80 versus $8.39. The other catch is that $61 is stated per ADULT only: child pricing ($39 Mon–Thu, $40.80 Fri–Sun/PH, for ages 6–11) is untouched by the promotion, so a family table saves on the grown-up seats and nothing on the children's. Weekends also run two separate sittings (12pm–2.30pm and 3pm–5.30pm) against a single 2pm–5.30pm session midweek — and because the promotion ends on Monday 31 August, the last weekend sitting of the whole run is Sunday 30 August.

TungLok Group has put its premium Deep-Sea Golden Croaker — the fish it brands as TungLok Fish 同乐鱼 — at 61% off for Singapore's 61st birthday, and unusually for a National Day gimmick this one is not a token side dish: it runs across seven of the group's restaurant brands and 12 outlets, from Tóng Lè Private Dining at OUE Tower down to TungLok Teahouse at Square 2, in a spread of styles (pan-fried, deep-fried, braised, and in porridge). The fish is wild-bred in deep-sea waters and fully traceable, which is the part that normally lands it on the premium half of a Chinese menu. Two things the artwork doesn't tell you: TungLok has not published the fish's usual price anywhere, so you can only judge the 61% at the table — and the offer explicitly cannot be stacked with TungLok Membership Privileges, which means TungLokFirst members have to choose between this and the group's other running perk (50% off one signature dish daily till 30 Sep). Dine-in only, while stocks last, and the bill still takes 10% service charge plus GST.
