10 best spots with awesome birthday perks to celebrate your special day

Birthdays can be celebrated in so many ways. Some love the grand celebrations, inviting everyone they know to spend it with them. Others prefer a quiet affair, wanting just their family or close friends at a simple meal or gathering.

And then there’s those of us who absolutely dread birthdays, get embarrassed over loud birthday songs, or simply resent the fact that we’re getting older.

Whichever category you fall under, I hope my humble guide of 10 best spots with awesome birthday perks to celebrate your special day gives you ideas on where to bring your loved ones on their birthday. You may even get inspiration to embarrass them, all in good spirit!

1. Sliderhouz

Sliderhouz is a small cosy diner that soft-launched on 8 July 2022 and is located within Peace Centre. What’s special about this place is that they offer over 14 varieties of sliders which range from Crispy Belly, Mala Octopus, and Tandooooriieee (featuring a 12-hour marinated tandoori chicken thigh, fresh onion rings, roasted cherry tomatoes, home-made mint yoghurt, sandwiched between a toasted charcoal bun).

The idea over here is to savour at least two or three different sliders as opposed to just settling for one single burger. They also have mouth-watering sides like Mac ‘N’ Cheese (S$4), Peri Peri Chicken (S$4) and 3 Pcs Beef Marrow (S$10).

Good news for folks celebrating their birthday— all you have to do is present your ID to Sliderhouz. With any meal purchase, you’ll be able to get a free Battered Red Snapper (worth S$12), which comes with fries and tartar sauce, as well as 2 Sliders (worth S$10) of your choice. That’s a really good deal!
