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!

Ocean restaurant by cat cora.
Ever since my three sons r born, we didn’t have the luxury of dining in a fine restaurant. This will be a great gift!
My husband has been very busy and hard at work to prepare for the opening of his shop. It was our anniversary in end Nov but we’ve not had time to celebrate yet. Winning this would definitely be a great chance for me to pamper my husband with such a unique & wonderful dining experience, to encourage him for all the hard work he’s put in at work for the family.
Me and hubby had never go to any restaurant for dinning as we just married and spent alot for wedding ~I wish that I could win so that I can share with my hubby for this year Christmas ~

Dining at OCEAN RESTAURANT by CAT CORA will be the perfect birthday gift for my dearest hubby, whose birthday falls on 1 Jan (serious). He’s a crazy marine life lover and dining in the arms of his greatest loves (me and the fishes!) will be a most memorable gift for him.
There’s a girl that has stolen my heart. I heard from legends of old that Cat Cora is the only place where I can hope to win a girl’s heart. I think it’s time to make things more even, at the place called Cat Cora.
Because I am a fan of the ladyironchef. And I haven’t tried fine dining in Singapore before because I’m scared of the bills and might not be able to afford it. If I get to win this promotion, Dining in the ocean restaurant would indeed be a treat for me and my husband. It would also be the first time we would be able to sample dishes by a world renowned chef. I am only among the hopefuls, but whoever will be lucky enough to win this will certainly enjoy the experience with a love one.
