However, December is also a peak period for many restaurants and hotels as both locals and holidaymakers will be taking time off to enjoy themselves. If squeezing with the crowd is not your cup of tea, why not enjoy this festive season in the comfort of your home?

To spice things up for your house party, we are sharing exclusive Festive Takeaway Offers. This includes must-haves for Christmas dinners such as homemade pastries, luscious turkeys, all sorts of ham and the ever-popular log cakes!

We can only imagine how delicious your dinner table is going to look like with these additions.

We are nearing the end of the year, and that’s when things are getting exciting for the F&B restaurants in Singapore. In November, many of us are already in our holiday moods and that means that the feasting and self-pampering begins!

Last month, we shared 8 Irresistible 1-For-1 And One Dines Free deals at various restaurants in Singapore. If you missed them out, fret not because this month you get to enjoy a whopping 50% off Second Diner Promotions for the finest Sunday Champagne Brunch at Opus in Hilton Singapore and the freshest catch at Seasonal Tastes in The Westin Singapore!

Think bubbly drinks and seafood spreads with crabs, half-shell scallops, freshly-shucked plump oysters; and so much more at two very prestigious restaurants in Singapore. If you haven’t got anything to look forward to in November, this shall be it.

HILTON SUNDAY CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH AT OPUS, HILTON SINGAPORE

Dishes prepared a la minute include the signature Scotch Egg with Black Truffle, Egg Cocotte and 3 variations of foie gras including the pan-fried Foie Gras with Apple & Passion Fruit.

And you cannot leave without stopping by the six-metre long dessert bar. It was one that left us bewildered, with the endless options of sweets. We’ve got cakes, puddings, macarons, cookies and everything in between. Gaining another kilo never seemed easier, really!

Of course, the highlight has to be the free flow of Lois Roederer Champagne, wines and beer.
