GE 2020 Polling day parties and promotions happening on July 10

You’ve cast your votes – now it’s time to kick back with friends and family as you wait for the results.

When all is said and done at the ballot box, you might be faced with a long weekend and no plans during these socially distanced times. In the spirit of polling day, some restaurants around town have rallied together special deals and promotions to help kill time as you wait to see who’s going to run your constituency for the next five years.

Whether you plan on going out with your mask or staying in with delivery options and the news playing in the background, these dining options are sure to keep you distracted, regardless of the results.

1. Humpback is throwing a polling day bash complete with its very own elections. The candidates? Different species of oysters. Cast your vote by ordering your favourite oyster at the all-day happy hour price of only $3 a piece. While you watch the live oyster polling results to see if your candidate wins, nibble on brown crab croquettes ($16) or dig into a plate of ah hua kelong lala ($25) cooked in a rich saffron broth. Head down before 7pm to enjoy drinks at happy hour prices too.

2. Italian gourmet playground Publico Ristorante teams up with Hendrick’s Gin for a month-long party starting on polling day. Soak in the view of the Singapore river from Publico’s outdoor terrace while sipping on summer cocktails created by Hendrick’s Southeast Asia brand ambassador Charmaine Thio. With names like Raspberry Rose Royale and Meadow Mule, you can expect these tipples to be fruity and refreshing. If you’re feeling adventurous, take part in unusual activities like growing virtual cucumbers or be #basic and snap a pic for the ‘gram at a live photo wall. You’ll get cups of Hendrick’s Gin on the house for your efforts.
