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!

It’ll be unforgettable and magical meal, she will be thrilled to know that we will be dining with the fishes as well as excited to iimmerse herself in the ambience and soak herself up with the atmosphere and vibes of the restaurant!
Thank you for offering this opportunity!

I hope at this special day of the year I will be able to surprise him a lunch date at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora. I’m sure he gonna love it and amazed by the ocean view dining found only in Resorts World Sentosa.
I would love to dine at the ocean restaurant. It is so beautiful to dine in here and i want to share this experience with my beautiful mother. I want to make this a surprise for her, even though its just a lunch with her, it has always been my dream to take her somewhere beautiful for a meal, to see a smile on her face.
I have been wanting to dine at the Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora ever since it opened but never got a chance to.
Hence I’d like to spend Christmas with my dad at this restaurant next month!
I would love to have the chance to celebrate Christmas at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora, especially since Christmas coincides with my mother’s birthday! The concept of Ocean Restaurant is a refreshing and interesting one, and will undoubtedly be a therapeutic, relaxing place to have lunch at.
Me and my husband would like to celebrate our anniversary this christmas in OSIA… we always walk past it when we go to Sentosa but never had the chance to…
UNDER THE SEA! To be chilling with the fishes and having a meal with my special one is definitely the best way to celebrate Christmas so YES I want to celebrate Christmas at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora and make it a memorable one!
Thank you for the opportunity and hope can win!
I would love to dine in the Ocean Restaurant with my boyfriend! As we will be celebrating our 5th year anniversary with a staycation in Equarius hotel. It will be even awesome if we can also dine together with the marine animals. I’m sure it will be a memorable experience for us. Cross my finger to let me win.
ps I do not have much Lady Luck in me when it comes to giveaway/ lucky draw, so hopefully this will be the first time I win something fantastic!
My boyfriend loves fishes as he thinks that it is therapeutic just by looking at them. I remember when we first went to SEA Aquarium, he kept taking photos and staring at those fishes for a really long time and I had to drag him along to move to the next area, if not I’ll probably have stay overnight at the aquarium! He was a dear to take great care of me when I fell sick recently so I hope to win this and bring him along with me, especially since our anniversary is coming up. At least now we can dine while he continues staring at the fishes- really hope to win this!
I would love to dine in the ocean restaurant with my mum as she just got discharged recently from the hospital. I would love to bring her there as she is always scare to go snorkeling and give up the opportunity to be closer to the fishes so I hope that with this give away I could let her get closer to the fishes in a memorable way.
I would love so much to have a meal with my dearest at
OCEAN RESTAURANT BY CAT CORA!
Well keep up the good work
Hi ladyironchef and RWS,
I would really love to celebrate Christmas this year at the Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora. This year has been an extremely busy year for me, and throughout everything, my boyfriend has given me tremendous support and care. Without him, there were really many things I could not have done. He was my pillar of strength and I love him so much that I want to use this chance to properly thank him.
Besides, Christmas is a time of giving, I believe dining at the Ocean Restaurant would be a fantastic gift for him. Especially so, for his love for diving, which I cannot be part of (due to major fear of being in deep waters, haha). And I know he would be thrilled to be dining with the ocean and I, more importantly of course, eating his all time favourite seafood.
I am also stepping down, I guess this would be a perfect celebratory meal for us to end an exciting year, and a start for more to come!
Thank you for this opportunity to share, I look forward to the awesome meal.
I would love to dine in Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora with my boyfriend for Christmas! It’s special as Christmas happen to be our anniversary aa well. He has done so much for me so I would like to give him a surprise
To add on, Ocean Restaurant has a good ambience and also good food too as I have seen many remarkable reviews on the great food, great ambience, and great service. Even celebrities recommend people to try out as it is indeed a special experience to dine with beautiful aquatic life swimming around you. Therefore, I would like to win this special experience.
