If you have been to Clarke Quay (particularly the area around Liang Court), you will probably have noticed the Park Hotel Clarke Quay at some point. The hotel which mimics a gigantic castle houses Brizo Restaurant & Bar on street level. In commemoration of Singapore's Golden Jubilee celebrations this year, Brizo Restaurant & Bar is currently running 'Taste of Singapura' seafood and local buffet between now and 30 September 2015. 

If you haven't hopped on the bandwagon to celebrate Singapore's Golden Jubilee by getting out of the country, take a stroll down memory lane (and Sentosa Cove) when you check out the special Lion Remix lunch at W Singapore Sentosa Cove's Kitchen Table on 8-9 August 2015. 

The Line at the luxurious Shangri-La Singapore has been a favourite amongst the locals for as long as I can remember. To commemorate Singapore's Golden Jubilee this year, The Line will be adding 10 modern reinterpretations of local signature dishes to the extensive buffet line (pun intended). This special menu will complement the international dinner buffet across the 16 different show kitchens (as well as an al fresco durian pop up stand between 1-16 August 2015). 

The Regent Singapore is one of the very few hotels in Singapore that allows you to stay with a pet. I stayed at the property earlier this year with my toy poodle in a Four Seasons Executive Suite and it was one of the most unique staycation experiences I have up to date. To commemorate Singapore's Golden Jubilee this year, Regent Singapore (a Four Seasons Hotel) is offering a special SG50 weekend staycation package for all Singaporean citizens and residents. 

Celebrate Singapore's birthday with an unforgettable durian-inspired Afternoon Tea for the whole month of August. Specially presented by Executive Pastry Chef Yong Ming Choong, the one month only special menu will feature dishes like the refreshing lemongrass barley jello, poached chicken roulade with chilli and ginger, fried carrot cake, beef rendang pot pie, and finally (and more importantly), the extravagant experience with three tiers of desserts, D24 durian tea cake, durian crème brulee, durian scones, gula Melaka durian soufflé roll amongst many others.

If you think there's no other way to beat the sweltering heat than to jump into a swimming pool then you may very well be wrong! To commemorate Singapore's Golden Jubilee (yes, SG50), Jen will be attempting to break the record for having Singapore's "Highest Ice Kachang" at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore! 

I visited the Dorsett Singapore last year and stayed in one of their newly-appointed Loft Rooms. Located just three minutes walk away from the Outram Park MRT Station, the Dorsett Singapore offers affordable accommodation in a charming location. If you have been putting off the idea of visiting the restaurants (and bars) along Keong Saik just because it is slightly inconvenient, this hotel would be an excellent place to spend a weekend in - particularly because everything is just a short stroll away.

The National Day long weekend is coming right up (just a month from today!) and if you still haven't gotten anything planned for it (and you should!), check out what the Orchard Hotel Singapore has to offer! Stay in one of the Deluxe Rooms at the Orchard Hotel Singapore between 07 to 10 August 2015 and enjoy 50% discount on the BAR for every second night (minimum 2-night stay) with complimentary internet access. You will also receive a special 50% off the breakfast, lunch, hi-tea and dinner buffets at Orchard Café during the stay!
