Makan: Treat yourself to these deals this weekend (Nov 21 to 23)
From indulgent sweet treats to classic Korean dishes, enjoy a variety of flavours with these new culinary launches.
Here's where to eat and drink next.
1. Ring in the holiday season with Sky22's festive semi-buffet dinner
If you want a celebratory dinner that feels indulgent without the festive price tag, Sky22 @ Courtyard by Marriott's semi-buffet deserves a spot on your list. Diners can help themselves to free-flow appetisers and desserts, including a generous salad bar, soup, poached prawns, sweet treats and a classic chocolate fondue.
The lineup of main courses has plenty to offer. Savour seasonal delights such as the Chicken Roulade with Foie Gras and Chestnut Stuffing, or enjoy all-time favourites like the Sky22 Tiger Prawn Laksa Lemak and Black Garlic Braised Wagyu Cheek. Feeling fancy? Go for the mouthwatering Lobster Thermidor, paired perfectly with mushroom and fries.
The buffet is available at $38++ per person on Fridays and Saturdays, 6.30pm to 10pm, from Nov 7 to Dec 27. A kids' menu is available á la carte and provides a practical option for families seeking a fun night out.
2. Smith Street Taps serves the holy trinity: whisky, beer and hawker food
For one night only on Nov 22, Smith Street Taps and Isle of Raasay Distillery present Hawker Soul, Hebridean Spirit: a mash-up of rare whisky, premium craft beers and beloved hawker favourites at the iconic beer stall in Chinatown Complex.
For the uninitiated, Isle of Raasay is the first legal distillery on the tiny Hebridean island of Raasay, founded in 2017 and home to just 161 residents. Its whisky may come from the remote northwest coast of Scotland, but this collaboration with Smith Street Taps is designed to spotlight how great food and drink elevate each other.
On the menu: peated and unpeated single malts, spiced mead and stout, paired with crowd-pleasers like salted fish fried rice, pork satay and sweet pork ribs.
All this for $51.40 per pax — grab your tickets here before they're gone.
