National Day’s nearly upon us, and we’re just about ready to break out the patriotic red-and-white apparel for the occasion. And to uplift your spirits even further, VivoCity is bringing you locally-inspired food menus and deals along with miniature clay accessory workshops and vouchers for the avid shopper from now till 12th August 2019.
Make sure to keep an eye out for limited edition merch from TANGS that’s available from 1st – 31st August 2019 too.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Our local cuisine makes up an integral part of Singaporean culture, and to pay homage to our iconic food dishes, here’s a breakdown of the specially-themed food menus coming to you this National Day:
Nasi Lemak Ice Cream
If you simply can’t live without your daily nasi lemak fix, Cold Stone Creamery will be bringing back their iconic Nasi Lemak Ice Cream ($8.50) this year! The savoury combination of coconut ice cream, sambal ikan bilis, and roasted peanuts will have you looking at this classic Singaporean dish in a whole new light.
Mastercard holders take note: between 26th July – 31st August 2019, you’ll be getting 15% off these locally-inspired delights.
Singapore’s home to an array of unique flavours, and this year Mr Bean has a menu filled with pancakes that’ll give you a taste of all these flavours. Satisfy your chilli crab cravings with the Chilli Crab Eggwich ($3.60), while fans of local desserts will find solace in the Gula Melaka Sago Pancake ($2.40).

Those of you embarking on this local food quest together with your best buds can gorge on french fries at Potato Corner. They’ll be having an exclusive 1-for-1 promotion for their Jumbo Fries ($4.30) on 9 August at their VivoCity outlet – embrace your inherent Singaporean-ness and chiong for these, as this only applies to the first 200 redemptions!
In the days leading up to National Day, we often find ourselves feeling a lot more patriotic than usual. To celebrate all things Singaporean, TANGS will have special National Day merch for you to get your hands on from 1st – 31st August 2019.
Swing by for an array of quintessentially Singaporean items and check out a range of home and lifestyle offerings if you’ve got a new BTO to fill. Kope a Good To Be Home Gift Set ($12.90 with any purchase) that consists of a limited edition tote bag and 2 enamel pins.
The enamel pins come in four designs: the BTO, Chilli Crab, Ice Gems, and Otters – all of which are classic Singaporean icons. Pick two of your favourites, attach it to your bag, and you’ll be able to carry around a little piece of home wherever you go.
Show your support for local brands at the pop-up store from 1st – 14th August 2019 at TANGS Level 1. They’ll be featuring collections from Singapore-based artisanal brands, with intricately-carved wooden jewellery from Studio MU YU and chic traditional fabrics from Utopia.
