If you want a weekend that feels full (but not frantic), lean into this very Singapore mix: a cultural open house in the day, a couple of “worth-it” food promos in the evening, and a few small perks that make errands and commutes feel a bit more rewarding.
1. Split a S$60++ Seafood Boil Spread at Dancing Crab
If your weekend mood is messy hands, bold flavours, and zero regrets, make it a sharing feast with Dancing Crab’s limited-time #2 Combo Bag Bundle. Priced at S$60++ (U.P. S$100++), this indulgent spread is available from 12 January to 28 February 2026, featuring a generous mix of seafood like fresh prawns, hamaguri clams and half-shell scallops. Choose your sauce—from Signature Cajun and the new Garlic Chilli Crisps Sauce to Zesty Garlic Butter—then complete the meal with two sides (think truffle fries or shrimp cocktail salad) and two desserts, including gâteau au chocolat and Hokkaido cheesecake crème brûlée.
Dining with little ones? There’s a Kids’ Set (S$13++) with a main such as a quinoa kale burger or mac & cheese, served with veggie tots, cherry tomatoes, juice, and a sweet treat like jelly or yoghurt with granola.
Available for dine-in only at Orchard Central and VivoCity. Limited to two redemptions per bill, with no bill or table splitting. Not valid on public holiday eves, public holidays or special occasions. Other T&Cs apply.
2. Goodwood Park Hotel Starts the New Year with Two Irresistible Dining Highlights
For a more “dress up a little” weekend moment, Goodwood Park Hotel is rolling out two New Year dining perks in the Orchard area.
Starting 12 January 2026, L’Espresso runs a daily Happy Hour from 5pm to 8pm, where you can hang out in the lively lobby setting or go for a calmer feel by the poolside terrace. The deal prices house wines and spirits at S$13.80++ per glass, draught beer at S$11.80++, and gives 15% off other beverages, with a drinks list that includes labels like Henriot Brut Souverain Champagne and Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc.
Pair the atmosphere with small bites—options include har cheong pork belly with house chilli (S$16++), crispy spam fries (S$12++), and little neck clams in XO sauce (S$19++).
The hotel is also running Coffee Lounge’s 1-for-1 local main course promotion, which is perfect if your weekend comfort-craving leans more kaya-toast-adjacent than cocktail-adjacent.
Reservations are available via the hotel website or +65 6730 1743.
Goodwood Park Hotel is located at 22 Scotts Rd, Singapore 228221.
3. Make It a “New Restaurant” Weekend at Shikar with a 1-for-1 Set-Menu Deal
If you want a meal that feels special but is still value-smart, Shikar at The Maxwell Reserve has a three-course Celebration Menu on a 1-for-1 promotion from 1 January to 28 February 2026. It’s S$96++ for two, available daily during 12pm–2.30pm and 6pm–6.45pm, with a minimum of two guests, so it’s ideal for a best-friend dinner or family outing.
The format is simple: choose one starter, one main, and one dessert, and you also get unlimited butter naan, basmati rice, and Shikari daal to keep things cozy and filling.
The choices cover both familiar and adventurous—starters range from sweet potato tikki chaat to chicken tikka, duck shikampur kebab, and wild-caught tiger prawns; mains include curd cheese kofta, chicken in smoked tomato butter sauce, lotus leaf-roasted seabass, and coconut shell-baked lamb shoulder sukka; desserts include crêpes with Medjool dates and a caramelised milk cake “jamun.”
The setting also makes it feel like a mini escape: it’s housed in the historic Murray Terrace near Tanjong Pagar MRT, with interiors by Jacques Garcia, and the kitchen is led by Chef Jolly (known for cooking for celebrities and winning major hotel culinary awards).
Shikar is located at 2 Cook St, Maxwell Reserve, Singapore 078857.
4. Go Full Festive with KFC’s New Sichuan-Style La Zi Ji Lineup and Lucky Collectibles
For a casual weekend that still feels seasonal, KFC is leaning into Chinese New Year energy with its first-ever La Zi Ji (Sichuan mala chicken) drop. You can go for the La Zi Ji Crunch (crispy chicken finished with a bold combo of dried chilli, chilli oil, and numbing peppercorns) or the snackable La Zi Ji Bites, then add-on sides like Mala Lotus Root Chips and finish with the Mini Mango Pomelo Sago Pie for something sweet-and-zesty.
If you’re eating with a group, there’s the La Zi Ji Crunch Feast designed for four, while a HUAT Feast keeps things friendlier for people who don’t want the spicy kick; there’s also a Buddy Meal if it’s more of a two-person hang. The festive packaging includes a Bucket of Abundance sleeve styled like a traditional gold-coin bucket, which is honestly half the fun if you’re doing photos.
KFC is also dropping Huat Paws (Fortune Cat blind boxes) from 14 January 2026, priced at S$8.80 each, with any dine-in or takeaway purchase made over the counter or at a self-ordering kiosk. There’s even a bonus chase: if you pull the Secret Gold Fortune Cat, you can post a photo on IG/FB, tag KFC Singapore, and use #KFCHuatPaws for a chance to win S$888—with winners announced on 6 March 2026 (Friday).
For extra festive add-ons, HUAT Socks go for S$5.80 with any breakfast purchase (from 14 January 2026, while stocks last), and Huat Paws red packets (6 per set) are free with any La Zi Ji Crunch Box or La Zi Ji Chicken Bites Box purchase from 21 January to 24 February 2026, limited to one pack per transaction.
5. Turn Dinner into an Event with Bedrock Bar & Grill’s 10th-Anniversary World Meat Series
For a “this is the main plan” dinner, Bedrock Bar & Grill is celebrating a decade of its World Meat Series by elevating it to a 6-course tasting menu featuring 10 different meats (instead of the older five-course, single-meat format).
The 2026 Edition I menu is S$158++ per person and runs from 14 January to 31 March 2026, featuring returning favourites alongside new highlights such as Korea’s Hanwoo beef. It’s built for meat-lovers who like variety—think a spread that includes items like Argentinian Angus, Japanese Satsuma Wagyu A5, and more across the courses, ending with Chocolate Marquise for dessert.
If you’re the type who loves a “one-night-only” perk, the launch night on 14 January includes a complimentary wine pairing featuring French wines; after that, the pairing is still available as an add-on for S$88++ per person. If you want flexibility, some dishes can also be ordered à la carte from 15 January to 31 March 2026, so you can sample the series without committing to the full tasting lineup.
Bedrock Bar & Grill is located at 96 Somerset Rd, #01-05 Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, Singapore, Singapore 238163.
6. MOGĀ at Pullman Singapore Hill Street Unveils Playful, Interactive Japanese Bites with Its New DIY Handroll Tray and Jigsaw Box
More playful surprises await at MOGĀ, the modern Japanese izakaya-inspired cocktail bar at Pullman Singapore Hill Street, with the debut of two new interactive dining experiences — the MOGĀ DIY Handroll Tray and the MOGĀ Jigsaw Box.
Every Saturday, diners can roll it their own way with the DIY Handroll Tray, featuring premium ingredients such as ikura, hamachi, hotate, negitoro and salmon, curated on seasonal rotations for maximum freshness and flavour.
From Monday to Friday, the spotlight shifts to the MOGĀ Jigsaw Box — a playful spread of hotate tartare with caviar, negitoro, ikura, and salmon & mentako dips, served alongside seasoned furikake rice or a trio of crispy chips.
Both are perfect paired with S$10 Highballs or enjoyed alongside a drink from MOGĀ’s new cocktail menu, Kiyoko’s Journey. Designed for relaxed sharing, fun snacking and interactive bites between main plates, these new offerings bring bold Japanese flavours, high enjoyment and excellent value to your night out.
7. Ring in a Joyful Lunar New Year with JOGUMAN at Lendlease Malls
From 23 January to 3 March 2026, four Lendlease malls — 313@somerset, Jem, Parkway Parade and Paya Lebar Quarter — transform into vibrant JOGUMAN wonderlands. Shoppers can soak in playful themed décor, enjoy lively lion dance performances, and take part in interactive Lendlease Plus in-app games for a chance to win exciting prizes.
Adding to the fun, the JOGUMAN Pop-up is now open at 313@somerset Level 1 Atrium until 25 January 2026, where fans can shop for their favourite JOGUMAN collectibles.
The festivities don’t stop there. Shop across the four malls to unlock a mobile in-app game experience, with chances to win up to 160,000,000 Plus$ (worth S$80,000 in Lendlease e-Vouchers) and redeem an exclusive set of JOGUMAN red packets for the season.
8. Drop into the Indian Heritage Centre’s Pongal Open House for a Culture-Filled Afternoon
If you want a weekend plan that’s more meaningful than “just eat and scroll,” the Indian Heritage Centre (IHC) is hosting Pongal Open House 2026 across two weekends (10, 11, 17 and 18 January 2026) so this coming weekend is right in the middle of it.
The theme is village-inspired and built around the idea of community during harvest celebrations, and there are two standout community initiatives to look for: one is an attempt to create the largest kolam made with harvest crops for a Kolam Book of Records, led by Mdm Vijaya Mohan with volunteers from migrant and domestic worker communities; the other is a collaborative art installation with SunLove Active Ageing Centre, featuring 30 hand-painted pongal pots created by seniors. Beyond that, expect the kind of “wander and discover” programming that makes an afternoon fly by—live demos, hands-on workshops, cultural performances, and drop-in craft activities.
Indian Heritage Centre is located at 5 Campbell Ln, Singapore 209924.
9. New Balance’s Week-Long Running Community Pop-Up at Suntec City
The New Balance 1080v15 lands in stores on 15 January 2026, and to mark the launch, New Balance is rolling out a 1080v15 Community Pop-Up at Suntec City Atrium (Convention Centre) from 13 to 18 January. Open to runners of every pace and path, the pop-up invites the community to experience the shoe beyond the shelves.
At the heart of the 1080v15 is New Balance’s latest Infiniōn midsole technology, engineered for enduring comfort, responsive energy return and reliable support—whether you’re clocking easy miles or pushing for a new personal best.
More than a product showcase, the pop-up is designed as a space to move, connect and be inspired. Through a series of interactive touchpoints, runners can come together, share motivation and truly Run Your Way.
Look out for highlights like a Mileage Tracker & live leaderboard, where runners can submit their weekly runs via Strava; shoe trials that let you test the 1080v15 in real-world conditions; and a Mirror Photo Moment to capture your running goals for the year ahead. Shoppers can also redeem a limited-edition New Balance running journal with every 1080v15 purchase, plus a matching sticker pack when they participate in pop-up activities.
10. Do a Practical Weekend Reset with Shell V-Power Pricing
Not every weekend plan has to be a big outing—sometimes the most satisfying move is a mini “life admin glow-up.” If someone in your family drives, Shell is running a limited-time perk where Shell V-Power is priced at Shell FuelSave 98 during specific windows, including Friday 16 January 2026 (7am) to Sunday 18 January 2026 (10pm)—which lines up perfectly with this weekend.
The whole idea is a “fresh start at the pump,” with Shell positioning V-Power as a fuel that helps clean critical engine parts and supports performance over time, including for older, newer, and hybrid cars, using newer deposit-targeting tech.
If you’re more into cute perks than car perks, there’s also a collect-and-redeem promo: from 12 January to 31 March 2026, you can get a sticker by spending S$70 at Shell with a UOB Card (1 sticker per S$70 spend), and once you collect 7 stickers, you can redeem a limited-edition Shell x UOB Moomin bottle, while stocks last. The bottles come in sky blue, sepia rose, and pacific navy, so it’s the kind of small, aesthetic reward that makes errands feel a little more fun.
