Join us as we applaud URA's Peter Ho and discover mouthwatering local-inspired snacks that will make your taste buds dance!

In celebration of Singapore’s vibrant National Day, the spotlight shines on Mr. Peter Ho Hak Ean, the esteemed chairman of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). This year, his dedication and visionary leadership earned him top honours at the National Day Awards, making him a true beacon of inspiration for all Singaporeans. Peter Ho’s initiatives in urban planning have not only transformed Singapore’s skyline but also ensured sustainable growth benefits the future generations. Just think about it! Who else could turn concrete jungles into a garden city?

As festivities ramp up, it’s not just about honouring our heroes—food also takes centre stage! Festival-goers are excited about National Day nibbles that bring familiar local flavours to life in a playful twist. For instance, ondeh ondeh-inspired egg tarts promise to give your dessert table a mouthwatering makeover. Remember snacking on crispy, crunchy popcorn at the movies? Now imagine it seasoned with the beloved taste of nasi lemak! These innovative bites are sure to spark joy and keep every child—and adult—grinning like a Cheshire cat at the family gathering.

But wait, there’s more! As you gather around with loved ones to celebrate National Day, why not impress them with these creative flavours? Foodies in Singapore are all about sharing experiences, and these snacks provide the perfect talking point. Imagine sharing the story of how these unique snacks combine tradition with innovation, bridging the gap between generations and culture right at your table. It’s the culinary equivalent of wearing classic outfits with trendy sneakers—it just works!

Let’s not forget to have fun while celebrating our richly diverse heritage. Did you know? The URA is not only reshaping Singapore’s landscape but also fostering a greater sense of community and identity through urban spaces. And speaking of identity, the delightful combination of flavours in our food tells stories of our vibrant multicultural society, with origins from the Chinese, Malay, Indian, and various ethnic communities. So, this National Day, honour our heroes like Peter Ho and elevate your snack game with local flavours! It’s a celebration fit for all!
