There’s something about Singapore’s hawker fare that simply brings people together. Whether it’s the comforting aroma of a freshly fried plate of Hokkien Mee or the familiar taste of Char Siew Rice that reminds them of weekend dinners with family, these local favourites are more than just food—they’re part of their shared heritage. And now, in celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, Food Republic is honouring these nostalgic flavours in a meaningful way that won’t burn a hole in your wallet.
From 1 to 31 August 2025, Food Republic is rolling out their SG60 Shiok $6 Deals—a month-long promotion featuring a tempting array of hawker delights priced at just $6 per dish. These deals are exclusively available at selected Food Republic outlets across the island: NEX, VivoCity, and BreadTalk IHQ. If you’re someone who loves great food and even better prices, this celebration is exactly where you should be headed this August.
Let’s dive into what makes this deal so special and why it’s more than worth a visit.
Celebrating National Pride Through Food
Singapore’s hawker culture is now recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity—and rightly so. These dishes are a culmination of generations of culinary tradition and innovation, and this SG60 celebration is shining a well-deserved spotlight on them.
Food Republic’s Shiok $6 Deals are more than just a food promotion—they’re a culinary celebration of national identity. It’s a reminder of the simple joys in life, like sitting down with a tray of local fare in a bustling food court, sharing stories and meals with loved ones, and revelling in the rich tapestry of flavours that make up the Singaporean palate.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Promotion
In a city where food inflation is always in the headlines, finding quality meals at such a value is increasingly rare. This promotion gives Singaporeans the chance to revisit their favourite hawker classics or even try something new—all at a wallet-friendly price point of just $6 per dish.
Whether you’re on a budget, trying to stretch your dollar during lunch breaks, or simply looking for a reason to get out and enjoy good food with family and friends, these SG60 deals offer both affordability and taste in one package.
It’s also a fantastic way to support local food vendors who have stood the test of time. Many of these stalls have rich histories and loyal followings, and this SG60 initiative helps shine a light on their continued importance to the local food landscape.
A Great Opportunity for Office Workers, Families, and Students
For office workers based around NEX or VivoCity, this is a lunchtime opportunity not to be missed. No need to settle for fast food or overpriced salads when you can feast on authentic hawker food for the same price—or even less. For students or families looking for weekend meal options, heading to one of the participating Food Republic outlets could become your new August ritual.
Plus, because the promotion runs for an entire month, there’s no need to rush. Go once a week, try a new dish each time, and let the family vote on their favourites.
Plan Ahead to Avoid the Queues
With value like this, expect queues—especially during lunch and dinner peaks. A smart move would be to visit during off-peak hours, perhaps around 3–5pm or closer to closing time. It’s also advisable to follow Food Republic’s social media pages or check with the outlet staff for dish availability, as popular items may sell out quickly each day.
Terms, Availability & Tips
It’s worth noting that these $6 deals are available for a limited time only, while stocks last, and other terms and conditions apply. So, if you’re planning a group lunch or dinner, do try to head down early or have a backup choice in mind.
Although only three Food Republic outlets are participating (NEX, VivoCity, and BreadTalk IHQ), the variety of dishes on offer is enough to keep customers coming back repeatedly throughout the month.
The Takeaway
Singapore’s 60th birthday is a milestone, and what better way to mark it than with something close to every Singaporean’s heart—food. The SG60 Shiok $6 Deals aren’t just affordable; they are a celebration of culinary diversity, tradition, and the everyday hawker heroes behind each dish.
So gather your friends, call the family, and head down to Food Republic this August. Whether you’re after something spicy, soupy, grilled or roasted, you’re sure to find a $6 dish that satisfies both your cravings and your budget.
And really, what could be more Singaporean than enjoying good food with good company?
