Here are some of the participating restaurants that serve up truly shiok local food that you confirm must try!  

Five Star Kampung Chicken Rice & Kitchen

We love a good plate of chicken rice, and Five Star Kampung Chicken Rice & Kitchen uses kampung chicken in their dishes, which means less fat but the same amount of tastiness! 

Opt for the classic Hainanese-style Five Star Kampung Chicken and savour the aromatic and tender chicken meat. The savoury sauce drizzled over the chicken further highlights the clean flavours of the meat and of course, you can’t forget to complement it with the classic accompaniments of ginger, dark soy sauce and chilli, paired with a fragrant plate of rice. Try out other equally delicious dishes such as the Chicken with Basil, Chilli and Rice Wine, the Prawn Paste Chicken and the Dried Chilli Diced Chicken (Kung Pao Chicken). We also couldn’t get enough of the Hometown Tofu, a simple yet quality side dish doused in a minced meat sauce that gets more addictive with every bite. 

OCBC Cards deal: Enjoy a complimentary tze char dish with a minimum spend of S$80, from now till 31 October 2022.

Majestic Bay

Boasting a panoramic view of the Marina Bay waterfront, Majestic Bay pairs this tranquil dining atmosphere with a stunning repertoire of seafood dishes and a mix of classic and innovative creations. 

Their lunch menu is the perfect place to start – with a variety of dim sum dishes done in a modern twist, which includes the Baked Matcha Egg Tarts, the Pan-Seared Chilli Crab Meat Buns, the Steamed Spinach and Prawn Dumplings, and the Oven Baked Charcoal Honey Pork Buns. For the main courses, try the Stir-Fried Green Dragon Chives with Beansprouts and Minced Garlic, the Stewed Ee Fu Noodles with Straw Mushrooms, and one of their best-selling dishes – the Signature Coffee Sauce Mud Crab! Crack those crabs open to unearth the deliciously sweet and fresh meat, and don’t forget to mop up with the toothsome coffee sauce that the crustaceans are doused in. 

OCBC Cards deal: Enjoy the Crab Set Menu for two at S$70 (U.P. S$93.50), from now till 30 November 2022.

Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat

Hailed as one of the oldest fish head steamboat restaurants in Singapore, Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat prepares bubbling hotpots of soup brimming with fresh fish and a bounty of ingredients, all cooked using ember charcoal right at your table. 

One of our favourites is the Grouper Fishboat, and the broth, following an original recipe dating back to 1927, was light on the palate yet full of flavour and warms you down to the bone. The firm flesh of the grouper fish had a delicately sweet taste which elevated the feeling of home-cooked goodness; pair it with their sides of chilli for an even better taste. We also loved the fried yam sticks among all the other ingredients in the hotpot, and not forgetting the addition of ti poh (dried sole fish) in the broth! Another must-try is the Signature Pork Belly, that is well-marinated with their in-house fermented tofu recipe. 

OCBC Cards deal: Enjoy S$10 off with a minimum spend of S$80, from now till 30 June 2023.

New Ubin Seafood

With humble beginnings of offering kampung-style seafood on the shores of Pulau Ubin, New Ubin Seafood has flourished and serves a wide array of zi char dishes and their own renditions of Singaporean favourites. 

Excite your senses with their Tequila Infused Chicken in Claypot, cooked in a medley of herbs and tequila that gets burned off in a flambe right before your eyes! Crabs are an absolute must-have – their Live Mud Crab can be cooked in 11 different ways, including Black Pepper, Garlic Baked, Salted Egg and Bee Hoon Soup. Our top recommendation, however, is the Classic Chilli Crab that comes with a copious amount of that decadent spicy-sweet gravy. Be sure to mop up every last bit with the Deep-Fried Mantous! For dessert, check out their take on kaya toast with the Fresh Kaya on Toasted Baguette, which comes served with French butter and homemade kaya. 

OCBC Cards deal: Enjoy 15% off with a minimum spend of S$100 from Monday to Thursday, and 10% off with a minimum spend of S$100 from Friday to Sunday, from now till 30 December 2022.

Wan He Lou

When Wan He Lou is mentioned, their famed Signature Lobster Porridge is the first thing that comes to mind. What started out as a coincidental creation by Chef Lau Siaw Dee on a diving trip has been further refined into an award-winning comfort dish. Cooked in a Teochew style, the rich soup is dyed a gorgeous golden hue from the lobster roe, and each slurp yields an umami-filled fragrance. The enormous lobster is difficult to miss; once you dig into its springy flesh, you would have entered foodie heaven. 

Another culinary masterpiece that won us over is the Wild Caught Colossal Tiger Prawn in Hawthorne Sauce. The hulking crustaceans are super-duper juicy and fresh, bathed in an irresistibly savoury sauce. 

OCBC Cards deal: Enjoy 1-for-1 on the Signature Epicurean Set (S$138++), which not only includes the Signature Lobster Porridge but also other amazing dishes like the Wan He Lou Trio Appetiser, the Premium Shark’s Fin with Conpoy, the Stir-Fried Asparagus with Prawn Ball and the Thai Coconut Pudding with Ice Cream, from now till 31 December 2022.
