Who are we kidding? 2020 has been tumultuous, to say the least. While I would love to rehash all the reasons why this 2020 was not all we hoped to be, I’d rather focus on the positive and the future to come. Let 2020 fade into all our history books and let’s welcome 2021 with wide-open arms with a proper New Year’s Eve meal.
To give 2020 the sendoff and ultimate bye Felicia, we’ll need a ton of bubbly, exceptional food and even a gorgeous vista thrown in as well. Luckily, by the New Year’s eve Phase 3 would have already been in full swing and that means we can have these New Year’s Eve dinners with parties of eight! The New Year is looking up after all.
We’ll take all the small wins we can get, so here are 10 places to celebrate New Year’s Eve say sayonara to 2020 and usher in an even better 2021.
1. Lawry’s The Prime Rib Singapore
If there is any restaurant that embodies abundance, it will be Lawry’s The Prime Rib Singapore. Eat to your heart’s content with their New Year’s Eve 6-Course Set Menu (S$178/ S$198 per pax).
Besides the famous Lawry’s Signature Roasted USDA Prime Rib of Beef, you’ll get to feast like royalty with their selection of mains such as the Atlantic Lobster Tail with Ōra King Salmon and Duck Leg Confit.
