Directly connected to Raffles Place MRT, in the heart of Singapore’s CBD, is the revamped Republic Plaza with a refreshed retail and dining enclave that many can come to have delicious sit-down meals or get easy eats to go.
After dealing with your hunger pangs, indulging in a little perk-me-up retail therapy never hurts, as the enclave also has a curated mix of lifestyle offerings. So the next time you’re down at Republic Plaza, be sure to give these places below a visit to sort out both your dining and lifestyle needs.
Looking for a fine vino to buy home or to impress a guest? Look no further than Bar a Vin. The trusted vintner is a purveyor of wines from all the major wine producing countries in the world, and you can browse to your heart’s content at their double-story, 3000-bottle wine cellar at Republic Plaza. From rare vintages to more accessible bottlings, find them all here.
With more time being spent in the house, having an immersive audio solution for your home entertainment systems is more attractive than ever. For televisions, the newly launched Bose TV Speaker is the fuss-free, one-step option most owners are looking for. It’s small and space-saving, yet powerful and clear with superior bass performance. A special Bose TV Speaker with Bose Bass Module 500 bundle is now available at $998.
Check out this verdant space, the international flagship store of the well-known Thai cafe chain, to rest your legs and have a spot of coffee while you’re at it. Definitely try their Amazon Blend, that’s wholly created and owned by them thanks to close working relationships with Thai farmers. And since they process and roast their own beans, expect only the freshest brews in this downtown oasis. There’s also a limited-time seasonal item available right now, the Mango Tango Frappe ($6.90), a sweet and refreshing treat made using 100% pure mango puree.
Whether you prefer building your own or selecting from their signature offerings, this vibrant grain bowl store is sure to satiate your cravings for a healthy, yet thoroughly delicious meal. Those strapped for time will appreciate their quick service while retaining maximum nutrition and wholesomeness with their foods. In celebration of National Day, a Meal for two: Spice Trade & Kampong Table with choice of two sparkling teas is available on Fave for just $11.16 (UP: $24.80).
For local eats and traditional kuehs, head on over to Kueh & Mee. They’ve got favourites like Kaya Butter Toast, Ondeh Ondeh, Mee Rebus and a must-try Signature Mee Siam, plus lots more. Complete your meal with their unique Gula Melaka Latte that’s great as a perk-me-up during breakfast. In celebration of our nation’s 55th birthday, their $6.90 set meals (includes one main and one drink) are going at 55% off on Fave.
A box of chocolate paired with a bottle of wine is a fine gift for any occasion, and at Le Rouge, you’ll find a generous selection of both. Pick up a box of liquor-infused (or non-alcoholic) pralines, then couple it with wines and even other spirits like gin, vodka and tequila. Their whisky selection is well-curated too, perfect for the connoisseurs out there. As a National Day special, a bundle of one box of six-piece chocolates plus one box of nine-piece chocolates is going for $16.20 (UP: $36) exclusively on Fave.
Not many know this, but the very first TWG store was founded here at Republic Plaza back in 2008. Today, the homegrown brand has enlarged their collection immensely, now offering well over 800 different single-estate, fine harvests and exclusive blends from the world’s top tea producers. While stocks last, every purchase of their Darjeeling First Flush Haute Couture Tea entitles you to purchase a Cotton Tea Filter for just $2 (UP: $6.50).
In line with Singapore’s 55th National Day in August, enjoy F&B deals at 55% off exclusively through Fave. Delicious eats from participating outlets are available for purchase from Aug 1-31 on the app and redemptions can be made until Sep 30.
