You’ve seen the red and white flags billowing on the walls of every HDB flat, heard the parade’s theme song blasting from every public speaker imaginable, and caught the planes ripping through the skies overhead. You’ve guessed it: National Day is coming soon!
With National Day 2024 just around the corner, there’s no better way to celebrate than with the one thing we can all agree on — good food! More specifically, good local food. Maybe it’s just me being extra patriotic on the big day. Still, my love for local may never die down, and I can’t think of anything more befitting to commemorate our nation’s birthday than local fare!
From local classics to elevated hawker fare and Singaporean dishes being creatively spun, check out our list of the best National Day-themed eats to rouse some celebratory cheer!
Restaurants
YÀN
They say, “Good things come in small packages,” and this couldn’t be truer for the perennial favourite of many Singaporeans — dim sum!
At YÀN, these bite-sized delicacies have been combined with local inspirations to make YÀN’s National Day Dim Sum Menu! Some highlights in the assortment include the Steamed Hainanese Chicken with Sticky Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf (S$8++ for 1 piece), a Cantonese interpretation of one of Singapore’s star dishes. The tender chicken thigh is steamed with aromatic ginger, garlic, and lemongrass and is served with condiments that are a must-have with chicken rice — chilli sauce, dark soy sauce, and ginger sauce!
Another Singaporean staple which has also been turned into a steamed bun is bak kut teh, a pork rib dish cooked in broth. Aptly titled Xiao Long Bao with Minced Pork in Bak Kut Teh Stock (S$8 for 4 pieces), the handcrafted dumplings are stuffed with minced pork and peppery pork bone broth.
Ever wondered how the iconic Singaporean dish laksa would taste with bean curd? The Steamed Bean Curd Sheet with Shrimps, Pork, and Singapore Laksa Sauce (S$7.50 for 3 pieces) is the answer! The bean curd sheets envelop pork and shrimp marinated in an in-house-made laksa sauce, which you can also drizzle over the bean curd before eating!
For more shrimp-filled delight in a bite, try the Deep-fried Shrimp Dumplings with Diced Celery and Shrimp Soup Stock (S$12 for 3 pieces), an homage to the local prawn noodle soup. Deep-fried wontons filled with diced shrimp and celery, as well as the rich shrimp stock boiled from prawn heads, make this dumpling densely stuffed with flavour and comfort!
YÀN is definitely trying to cover all bases, as they’ve incorporated the iconic breakfast item, Chwee Kueh (steamed rice flour cake topped with preserved radish), into the Steamed Preserved Radish Dumplings filled with Peanuts (S$7.50 for 3 pieces).
Of course, we can’t talk about Singaporean staples without mentioning the chilli crab, and luckily, YÀN has its Pan-fried Singapore Chilli Crab Meat Buns (S$12 for 3 pieces). These meat buns model the famed Chilli Crab, with spicy, savoury crab meat stuffed in its inseparable companion, the deep-fried man tou.
Finally, we have the perfect end to the dim sum collection, the Deep-fried Satay Chicken Dumpling (S$9 for 3 pieces), the ultimate indulgence stuffed with succulent chicken marinated in savoury satay sauce.

The Gyu Bar
Fusion food is nothing new, but The Gyu Bar has put unique twists on your local favourites that I bet you’ve never had before! Especially for National Day, The Gyu Bar presents two limited-edition creations.
The two new dishes include the Wagyu Bak Kut Teh (S$35++), a play on the traditional pork rib soup. The broth has plentiful succulent Kagoshima rib fingers, bean curd puffs, and bean curd skin and is infused with cloves, cinnamon, star anise, garlic, and other spices.
The Gyu Bar only uses premium wagyu beef sourced from Japan, so best believe they’ll put this high-quality ingredient to good use! And for those familiar with the sando, a Japanese sandwich made with shokupan (Japanese milk bread), you’re in for a treat!
The Wagyu Otak Katsu Sando (S$32++) combines minced Kagoshima Wagyu with otak, the savoury, spicy fish paste, in a golden-brown, juicy cutlet. In the sandwich, the cutlet is nestled between the must-have shokupan, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, creamy scrambled eggs, house-made barbecue sauce, and honey mustard.
While you can order them individually, they have also been bundled as a National Day Combo at S$59++, the price saluting Singapore’s 59th birthday.

Priced at S$59.90++ per pax, a cheeky nod to Singapore’s grand age, the stars of the show include the Steak Tartare served with shiso Kueh Loyang. A delectably tender Dry Aged Spiced Roasted Chicken paired with a piquillo pepper chilli jam that pays tribute to chicken rice chilli, parsnip puree, and soy sauce chicken jus.

Snacks
CHOCOELF
It only feels right to support local brands during a national holiday celebrating Singapore, so why not support CHOCOELF, a homegrown chocolate brand?
Established in 2005, CHOCOELF has worked with three iconic Singaporean brands: Tai Hua Food Industries, Fragrance Foodstuff, and Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee. These are well-known soy sauce brands, a brand famed for its bak kwa (a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky), and a coffee brand. Just how did these three very contrasting brands and flavours come together with CHOCOELF?
Well, CHOCOELF has infused chocolate bars with one product from each brand to make three new uniquely flavoured chocolate bars! These three latest additions are to add to CHOCOELF’s 100% Made in Singapore range, a range that honours Singaporea’s culinary diversity.
These three new flavours are Umami Soy Brew Chocolate Bar, a collaboration with Tai Hua; Fluffy Chicken Floss Chocolate Bar, made with the help of Fragrance Foodstuff; and Black Cold Brew Chocolate Bar, which was only possible with Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee’s support.
While combining some of these local flavours with chocolate might seem wild, maybe even illegal, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! Plus, these make great souvenirs for foreign friends or loved ones coming from overseas who are curious about Singapore’s culinary landscape.
To get your hands on these unique chocolate bars, you can go to CHOCOELF’s official retail distributor, The Cocoa Trees: The Best Candy Shop in Singapore, which is conveniently located at its 11 duty-free chocolate stores across all four Changi Airport terminals.
You can also go to Taste Singapore to get them. The stores are located at T1 Changi Airport and T4 Changi Airport.
💲Price: S$12.50 per box (duty-free)
Discover the best of Singaporean flavours in one place—or, more accurately, in one CHOCOELF chocolate range. For more information, visit CHOCOELF’s official website or their socials on Facebook and Instagram.

Rempapa
As the saying goes, “There’s no place like home”, and Rempapa is here to back this statement up with their Multi-ethnic Kueh Box! Inside the box, you’ll find five handmade kueh varieties from local ethnicities’ culinary traditions.
These include the colourfully layered Gao Teng Kueh, the kueh representative of the Chinese ethnicity. Fun fact! This soft kueh is named “nine-layer kueh” due to its distinctive coloured sections. Rempapa’s Gao Teng Kueh has a fresh pandan and coconut fragrance, where each coloured layer is meticulously measured, poured, and steamed layer-by-layer.
As for the Malay ethnicity, their representative kueh is the Sarang Semut, which has origins in Batam. For those unfamiliar with this specific kueh, its name derives from its honeycomb-like texture. Aside from its honeycomb-like texture, the Sarang Semut is also just as sweet as a honeycomb with its rich flavours of caramelised sugar.
For my readers whose ethnicity is Indian, the Putu Bambu is your representative kueh! The roots of Putu Bambu can be traced back to the Tamil Puttu, which are rice cakes steamed in bamboo cane sections. To make this delicacy, rice flour has to be pressed into a cylindrical mould before steaming to tender perfection. Rempapa’s version is served with homemade gula melaka syrup.
Those of Eurasian ethnicity, you haven’t been forgotten by Rempapa! Putugal is a staple in Eurasian homes during festive seasons, so Rempapa has made its own Putugal for its Multi-ethnic Kueh Box!
As per customs, Putugal is made with freshly grated tapioca and coconut milk. A section of this kueh is also dyed in a vibrant blue using butterfly pea flowers and sandwiched between layers of the uncoloured tapioca base and ripened bananas before finishing with a coating of freshly grated coconut.
Last but not least, we have Pulut Tai Tai representing the Peranakans! Just a little trivia on the Pulut Tai Tai: this dish is also known as “Pulut Tekan”, whereby “Tekan” means to apply pressure, which involves pressing glutinous rice into slabs to form the kueh.
The glutinous rice is cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaves, which allows it to absorb its delicate flavours and fragrances. Once completed, the rice is marbled cobalt with butterfly pea flower dye, and as in tradition, Rempapa serves the kueh with kaya.
🗓️Date: 1 July to 11 August 2024
📍Location: 2 Paya Lebar Rd, #01-01/02/03 Park Place Residences at PLQ, Singapore 409053

The Lobby Lounge
A high tea set may seem like a posh but simple midday affair of light bites and tea, but The Lobby Lounge is upping the ante by taking you on a culinary voyage through time with their Singapore Heritage Afternoon Tea!
This isn’t just a reinvention of Singapore’s signature dishes, no. This tea set pays homage to the nation’s origins by allowing you to revisit your favourite dishes as you rediscover Singapore’s history through this afternoon tea experience.
Consisting of three chapters, each chapter celebrates various aspects of Singapore’s history. The first chapter, East Meets West, blends European culinary traditions with Southeast Asian spices and ingredients as it’s inspired by Singapore’s past as a British trading port.
To set sail on your journey, start with a modern interpretation of Chicken Rice, featuring a tender poached chicken breast sat on a fragrant rice ball and complemented by a zesty garlic chilli puree. Then, savour the Hainanese Kurobuta Pork Chop as well, served in a brioche sando with the classic HP ketchup sauce, which acts as a tribute to Singapore’s Hainanese heritage.
To rekindle memories of one of our favourite breakfast go-tos, try the Kaya Toast, elevated with foie gras butter and a delicate hen’s egg foam. And for a classic afternoon tea bite with a local touch, have a Pandan Scone served with red bean clotted cream. To complement this culinary experience, you can relish a tea pairing of Mist Valley White Shou Mei, a delicate brew that enhances this sumptuous spread.
Moving over to Chapter 2, Local Takes Centre Stage: we celebrate the evolution of Singaporean cuisine and rapid urbanisation as Singapore emerges with a unique identity post-independence.
Those seeking authentic Singaporean tastes mustn’t skip on the Chilli Crab Petit Pain, a spicy crab filling housed in a soft bun. Another savoury bite is the Otak Otak Toothfish, which infuses chilli paste with kaffir lime which is brought together with the rich toothfish for a harmonious yet surprising flavour.
On the sweeter side, these sweet bites are just as mouthwatering! The Ondeh Ondeh Cake, for example, is adorned with coconut and rich Gula Melaka. The Bubur Cha Cha Panna Cotta is also another sweet delight, topped with a light sweet potato foam. As for the complementary tea, pair these dishes with the Mist Valley Pu-Er tea, an earthy tea that provides a deep, grounding contrast to make your meal a balanced and satisfying one.
The final chapter, The Melting Pot, concludes the gastronomic journey by showcasing the evolution of local cuisine as it unfolds alongside the nation’s rise as a global hub. Here, international influences blend seamlessly with traditional dishes, reflecting Singapore’s status as a cultural melting pot.
The signature dishes in this chapter are must-tries, including the Laksa Espuma, where laksa essence is transformed into a foam atop steamed scallop prawn curd adorned with crunchy dried shrimp floss.
For a taste of nostalgia, the Milo Dinosaur Berliner, in which its choco malt powder, will take you back to the days of your wonderful childhood. Another equally sweet treat that will evoke more childhood memories is the nostalgic Ice Cream Uncle, which includes a cilantro wafer and strawberry dacquoise drizzled with Valrhona chocolate sauce. To mark the end of your journey, complement it with the Mist Valley Lapsang Shouchong tea pairing, a tea that will enhance every dish with its smoky floral notes.
