PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore
PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore is rolling out a trio of culinary experiences in honour of Singapore’s 60th birthday. Skyline, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, has the best seats in the house to view the fireworks, Red Lions aerial display, and flag flypast on 9 August. The all-you-can-eat buffet will feature local delicacies and barbecued favourites, which diners can enjoy with sweeping Marina Bay views.
There are celebrations throughout the month, too, such as Peppermint’s Peranakan Heritage Buffet, running from 18 July to 10 August 2025 and featuring heritage-inspired dishes like assam king prawns and ayam buah keluak. On Friday and Saturday dinners, don’t miss the Live Durian Station offering free-flow Mao Shan Wang, Red Prawn, and more.
Meanwhile, at Portman’s Bar, indulge in a Singapore-inspired Afternoon Tea featuring kopi scones, pandan financiers, and moreish savouries like mini yam baskets and rojak-style you tiao. Pair them with locally-inspired cocktails like the laksa leaf–infused Laksamana or a cheeky Milo Old Fashioned for a nostalgic toast to SG60. For reservations, visit the hotel’s website.
Pan Pacific Singapore
Look forward to Pan Pacific Singapore’s vibrant lineup for SG60. At Plume, the hotel’s destination cocktail bar, mixologists take on the SG60 Showdown Challenge — a spirited six-minute, five-cocktail test of speed and skill — where if you order all five signature cocktails at once and if they aren’t served on time, your next cocktail is on the house.
Edge, the hotel’s buffet restaurant, will present Flavours of the Lion City from 10 July to 9 August 2025, showcasing local delights like wok-fried hokkien mee in opah leaf, durian kueh pie tee, and salted baked crab. Not to be missed is the special Saturday SG60 lunch buffets at just $60 per person (with a minimum of four diners).
At award-winning Cantonese restaurant Hai Tien Lo, tuck into a spread of handcrafted dimsum or savour the iconic Peking Duck, available from 1 August until 30 September 2025. Finally, Keyaki, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, pays tribute to SG60 in its own way, where diners can savour the Gindara Teriyaki with Tempura Gozen on select Saturdays, and teppanyaki delights from Mondays to Thursdays featuring Australian Half Lobster with Signature Golden Sauce and Japanese A4 wagyu.

GU:UM
From 8 July to 31 August, Chef Louis Han of GU:UM pays heartfelt tribute to the country he now calls home with a special SG60 menu that combines Singaporean flavours with the chef’s signature Korean flair. Celebrating not only the nation’s 60th birthday but also his own journey in Singapore, where he met his wife and now leads three acclaimed restaurants, the limited-time menu is a love letter to the Lion City and the people behind GU:UM. Expect playful, inventive dishes like Gochujang Soft Shell Chili Crab with Korean tteok (swapping out the usual mantou for traditional Korean rice cakes), charcoal-grilled Dalkochi Satay skewers with ssamjang peanut sauce, and Mandu Wings stuffed with juicy dumpling filling. The crowd-pleasing Uncle Lulu’s Fried Rice comes in a sizzling hot stone pot, with kimchi and grilled squid, while the Red & White Bingsu comprising watermelon, hongcho, and yoghurt cream provides a refreshing National Day-inspired finale.

The menu continues with a nourishing double-boiled conpoy soup with scallop from Hokkaido; baby spinach dish that marries the buttery savouriness of French lobster bisque with the complex umami of fish maw; and a smoky wok-fried Saga-gyu which sees perfectly marbled Saga beef brightened with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and a dash of Chinese aged vinegar sauce. End on a sweet note with Imperial Bird’s Nest Cream Purée, a luscious dessert of bird’s nest and silky fresh cream. For reservations, visit https://www.tong-le.com.sg/reservations.
