The place: It’s the prime spot to get a sweeping, panaromic view of the Singapore Straits and Marina Bay skyline. The restaurant’s indoor space exudes elegance and class, while the Sky Bar (just right outside) allows you to unwind alfresco-style.
The deal: A National Day lunch menu ($268++), which affords you a sumptuous spread of 10 modern Asian dishes such as premium cuts of Japanese bluefin tuna sashimi and the chef’s take on local favourites like braised pork belly. 1 Bayfront Avenue, Marina Bay Sands, tel: 6508-2188. Only available on August 9. Make a reservation here
The place: The buffet restaurant is full of old-world charm, from the colonial-inspired tufted dining chairs to the unique hanging lights, textured tiles and walls. But the piece de resistance lies in its seven conservatory kitchens, each helmed by a different ‘live’ culinary chef who will display stage-like showmanship.
The deal: A lunch ($62) and dinner ($82) buffet. Both will feature a mix of Asian and western dishes as well as local favourites like spicy sambal stingray, tasty Indian rojak and laksa. 7 Raffles Avenue, The Ritz-Carlton, tel: 6434-5288. Available only on August 9. Make a reservation here

The place: Edge offers a theatrical, interactive dining experience with its open-kitchen concept, where you can indulge in authentic, traditional street food options in air-conditioned comfort.
The deal: A National Day heritage dinner buffet ($88). If you crave comforting homely dishes, this is the place to be.

Available from August 5-9. Make your reservation here
The place: One word for it: posh. Complimenting the modern, steak-based menu is an equally, if not more, modern aesthetic, with the restaurant swathed in warm lights and floor-to-ceiling wine displays.
The deal: A three-course set menu ($65++). Cut’s specialties lie in their high-quality beef selections, so its main draw would naturally be a slab of juicy flat iron steak complete with crispy, hand-cut fries and home made sauce. Of course, another must-have here is celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck’s interpretation of uniquely Singapore flavours: the Kaya ‘Baked Alaska’, made of coconut cake, pandan ice-cream, coconut sorbet and coffee crumble. #B1-71 Galleria Level, The Shoppes at Marina bay Sands, tel: 6688-8517. Only available on August 9 from 5.30pm-7pm. Make a reservation here.
