Wanna win $200 worth of The Grandstand shopping vouchers? Read on to find out more!

Space and parking lots are hard to come by in Singapore. But not at The Grandstand – the former Turf Club that used to house avid horse racing spectators; lately, it’s the avid shoppers and diners who are drawn into this newly transformed family lifestyle destination. Following a fresh facelift, The Grandstand is set to reinvent the Singapore lifestyle experience, completely surrounded by nature. This 1 million square feet property is home to an eclectic mix of retailers, dining and services outlets, kids’ activities clusters, and one of the biggest pre-owned car malls. Singapore’s latest dining hotspot As we all know, Singaporeans are head over heels in love with food. Here at The Grandstand, foodies can be sure they’ll never run out of options with eateries such as Valentino, Yoyogi, Latte e Miele for ice cream, ET Artisan for some sweet treats, Omakase Burger, Ah Yat Abalone, Jack’s Place and more. With such a diverse range of cuisine choices, you’ll definitely be spoilt for choice. If you’re curious, here’s a quick rundown of six dining spots worth checking out at The Grandstand: VeganBurg | An organic vegan burger fast food restaurant #01-32

Who says meat makes a meal tasty? VeganBurg is all about fab-tasting meat-free cuisine. Driven by the belief that a plant-based diet is entirely possible, patrons can enjoy fast food that is not junk food and reap the many benefits of being a vegan such as health pros and good karma (for saving the animals of course)! HANSANG | Singapore’s largest Korean restaurant #02-14

Boasting a 200-seater restaurant with 10 VIP rooms and even a Korean supermarket LotteMart, it’s no wonder HANSANG has been dubbed Singapore’s biggest Korean restaurant. Featuring over 100 Korean dishes, you can choose to indulge in the hotpot buffet selection or go for the BBQ a la carte. Grill-Out | Premium meat at affordable prices #01-08

What started out as a humble dining place in the heartlands of Clementi is now a full-fledged restaurant at The Grandstand. Grill-Out gives you the chance to savour premium steaks at prices that won’t blow a hole in your pocket – and we’re talking about the darn good stuff like USA Snake River Farms Kurobuta Collar and Canadian Lucyporc Royal Rack. Casallena | Wine, bistro, tapas #01-14

Unwind with a glass of fine wine and finger-lickin’ good grub at Casallena. Whether you fancy sinful pizza, communal dining with tapas or even afternoon tea with dainty little eats, you can be sure this bar-bistro has everything you’re looking for in a casual place where you can kick back and relax. The Ascot | ‘Gastrogrub’ for anglophiles #01-16

An anglophile is a person who is not English but is interested in or likes England or the UK. If you’ve just identified yourself as one, then The Ascot is the perfect place for you. Offering the very best of English comfort food (such as bangers with bubble and squeak), the best thing to do here is pair the nosh with a Fuller's London Pride Beer and get a taste of the real British pub experience. MAD | The most eclectic, creative dining concept yet #01-20/21

Led by TungLok Group, Bar Stories and local celebrity Dick Lee, MAD – which stands for Modern Asian Diner – is as quirky as it gets. However, the décor isn’t the only thing that’s special (check out the fuchsia pink seats!); the restaurant is actually a multi-concept one. In fact, it’s a bakery, café and dim sum place in the day, and a restaurant and cocktail bar at night. Wondering what’s the verdict on the food? What about the signature, must-try dishes of these dining spots? OpenRice will be holding a very special edition of a Food Tasting session with a handful of well-known bloggers very soon, where we’ll sample the cream of the crop of these six eateries.
