Last-Minute National Day Makan Deals

1. Steak And Fireworks At Artemis Grill
There’re no mod Sin plates offered here. But Mediterranean restaurant Artemis Grill at the rooftop of CBD office tower CapitaGreen does offer a dazzling view of the fireworks on August 9. And it will be serving four exclusive a la carte dishes just for National Day, including a Whole Roasted Organic Chicken ($62) and Barbecued Spicy Pork Presa (Iberian pork shoulder, $68). Or choose something from the regular menu, like premium Scottish Tenderloin ($62) that’s been dry-aged for 45 days and served with potato purée, caramelised pearl onions and red wine sauce.
