We are so lucky to call Singapore home. Our sunny little island may be just a small red dot, but this dot has proven herself to be a foodie’s paradise with cuisines of all kinds, celebrity restaurants, international names, independent restaurants and what-have-you. You will never be caught in the situation of not knowing where to dine at, neither will you need you pull your hair out when thinking of a worthy place to dine for special occasions.
The addition of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) to Singapore’s tourism is definitely a great move, but more than its theme parks and attractions, do you know that they are a gourmet’s playground too? With an impressive list of celebrity chefs’ restaurants and family-friendly restaurants, RWS is one of the most comprehensive dining destinations in Singapore.
Christmas is approaching and the joyous festive spirit is filling the air fast. Everyone we know is making plans for dinners and that well-deserved indulgence, and by now, we have our own lists of go-to places and restaurants. But the more the merrier, right?
We went on a food trail some weeks back to curate today’s post, and we are so stoked to be sharing with you some of the festive highlights that you can find at RWS this Christmas. There is surely something that entices, and we know many families will be happy to find friendly options here that suits every generation!

After staying out of Singapore for slightly more than a year in Sri Lanka taught me how to appreciate Singapore, our homeland, even more than before. This trip back home for Christmas meant a lot to me! I would love to have my Christmas dinner at the OCEAN RESTAURANT BY CAT CORA with my husband due to many reasons like missing home, not sure where to start with after so long not being home, miss seafood in Singapore as I still believe it has the best even though people tend to say Colombo has the best crabs or seafood, not forgetting the romantic ambience OCEAN provides. Hope I’ve the chance to enjoy awesome food and treasure every moment with my love at the OCEAN this very Christmas!
Cheerios,
Serene Teo
My parents (Dad, 83 & Mum, 79) have never been to Sentosa, much less seen Resorts World! I’d like to bring them over to take a look and dine at this restaurant, which I’ve heard has fabulous food and is a great experience! It would be a great outing for them!

It’s going to be our first year of celebrating Christmas together as a couple. My girlfriend is currently studying in Malaysia and she will be travelling down all the way to meet me for Christmas. I would want to do something special with her and contribute something memorable as she has never been into any fine /casual dining restaurants prior to this.
It would have been great if I could arrange her for a surprise meal at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora considering the quality of food as well with the amazing ambiance.
I would like to celebrate our Christmas at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora together with my husband & our soon to be born baby.

Please let our small family to go there for another reason. Thanks!
