The best National Day meals with fireworks in Singapore

If your idea of a good time is an unlimited flow of wines, beers and tasty cocktails, Caffe Fernet is the spot to spend National Day while you relish in the infectious parade atmosphere. On August 9, from 5pm to 9pm, the alfresco joint is serving up a one-day-only family-style course dinner with unlimited drinks (from $200). Expect to feast on Italian dishes with a local twist such as Peranakan rendang braised short ribs, coal-kissed hamachi and prawn otah tortellini. Thirsty? Quaff down a punchy Singapore Sling Slushie specially curated to commemorate the special day or stick to the comforts of a stiff negroni, either way, they're both a worthy toast to the incoming F15s flying above you.

On National Day, this waterfront restaurant and bar is almost certain to draw a patriotic crowd– all thanks to the binocular views of the parade and hypnotic fighter jet flybys on the alfresco deck. It is also a spot where the party and after-party will be held. From 5pm to midnight, the National Day Rooftop Package ($588 per table of up to six) sets the after-party tone with a bottle of Roku Gin, a choice of one bottle of Haku vodka or Chita whiskey plus mixers, all paired with a sharing platter of Japanese fried comfort food. It's the spot to gather round your crew and revel in the festive atmosphere and welcome the celebratory fireworks with a toast.

The iconic rooftop destination is holding a National Day barbeque and everyone's invited – tickets from $48. Happening from 4pm to 10pm, tuck into juicy lamb chops, thick-cut tenderloins and Canadian lobsters while you marvel at the flypasts and aerial view of the parade. There are also large format dining platters such as the classic BBQ ($155) and surf and turf ($200) platters to cater to larger groups of patriots. That's not all. The nightlife spot transforms into a family-friendly night market with live food stations dishing out satays, steamed tutu kuehs and muah chee. There will also be complimentary face and body temporary tattoo activities for the little ones.

Chill out with a cold one with unobstructed views at the world's highest microbrewery – there's nothing like seeing (and hearing) NDP fireworks in such close proximity. Gather a few bosom buddies to raise a patriotic toast at this exclusive one-evening-only party (from $268). Happening from 5pm to 9pm, the dinner format is free flow which means all food, house-brewed beers, wines and even the deceivingly drinkable Singapore Sling are yours to savour. Expect executive chef Jake Kowalewski and his team to whip up locally-inspired dishes such as the mouth-watering rendang Wagyu sliders and beer-brined charcoal grilled soy chicken wings.

Perched on level 39 of Andaz Singapore, destination rooftop bar Mr Stock is hosting a national day party with the backdrop of fly-by jet shows and magnificent fireworks. On August 8 and 9, groove to the beat of a live DJ set and feast on locally-inspired bar grub like Chicken Rice Arancini, Tandoori Chicken Satay, Salted Egg Prawn Toast, Chilli Crab Cake and Prata Pizza. To booze up the evening, there will be classic and modern takes on the Singapore Sling with a special showcase of Tanglin Gin, Singapore's first gin distillery. And if you're planning for something romantic, the iconic teepee huts are going at $200 per booking, for a maximum capacity of three pax.

Enjoy some dim sum before you head up to the viewing deck for the fireworks. On Singapore’s 58th birthday, Yàn commemorates the nation’s rich culinary heritage with a patriotic dim sum lunch menu that starts from just $6 a pop. From August 1 to 15, the Cantonese restaurant will present a sumptuous spread of classic delights incorporated with local flavours such as Peranakan and Hainanese – from poached prawns and cod fish dumplings slathered with assam sauce to steamed bak kut teh xiao long bao.
