Deliveroo Uncovers Singapore’s Top National Dishes In Time For National Day

Ever wondered what Singaporeans crave for when it comes to ordering in to commemorate Singapore's National Day?

Ahead of the nation's upcoming 56th birthday, Singapore's most loved food delivery service has dug into data from last year's stay home National Day celebrations to answer the age-old question: "What is Singapore's national dish?".

The Little Red Dot is especially renowned for its seafood, so it's no surprise that it topped last year’s list. Chilli crab, in particular, is a quintessential local dish that dominated the scene.

One of the largest food orders during last year’s National Day was a chilli crab order worth over S$400! Coming in at a close second and third are comfort food such as fried chicken and local delights like nasi ayam penyet and wonton noodles - yummy guilty pleasure dishes that have filled our bellies for as long as we can remember.

Staying home also had many families opting for healthier options, which has never been easier with a wide range of selections on Deliveroo.

In fact, SaladStop! saw enough orders snapped up over last year’s National Day weekend to feed an entire HDB block! As a pioneer of the healthy eating movement, SaladStop! will introduce a new salad bowl, Home Grown, this National Day.

This 100% locally grown bowl, with a carbon footprint almost three times lower than a traditional cheeseburger, consists of a fragrant house-made laksa vinaigrette and ingredients from six local farms.

As a treat for Deliveroo fans, Deliveroo will be the first delivery platform to bring the Home Grown bowl right to your doorsteps from 2 - 8 August.

There’s no better way to celebrate our foodie nation this National Day than to continue the tradition of indulging in some of Singapore’s favourite dishes.

Based on last year’s popular choices, Deliveroo has compiled a selection of shiok National Day deals to order in for feasting with family and friends at home during Singapore’s Phase Two (Heightened Alert).

That’s not all! Deliveroo will be offering a S$1 delivery fee for all grocery orders throughout the month of August as well as for orders from close to 300 participating restaurants¹ from now till 15 August.

Deliveroo customers can choose from a wide selection of dishes from local chains such as Qi Ji and Old Chang Kee to neighbourhood hawkers like Tiong Bahru Tian Bo Shui Kueh and Ming Fa Fishball Noodles, so you can still order in a sumptuous feast to catch the National Day parade on TV on 21 August.

Don’t forget to show some support for our local businesses as Deliveroo is offering free delivery for close to 1,500 small and medium-sized businesses from 2 August.
