There are few things that unite Singaporeans quite like a good plate of chicken rice or a hearty bowl of laksa. And this National Day season, OK Chicken Rice is giving Singaporeans a truly meaningful reason to celebrate – by giving back to the pioneers who helped build the nation.
From 19 July to 9 August 2025, OK Chicken Rice is launching an SG60 Seniors Appreciation Giveaway, offering a free full meal to Singaporeans born in 1965 or earlier. This heartfelt initiative is part of a wider celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday (SG60) – a timely reminder to honour and thank the generation that laid the foundation of the country’s progress.
As a third-party observer who has seen countless promotions come and go, this one genuinely stands out. Not just for the free food, but for the sentiment behind it.
Why This Promotion Matters
It’s not every day that a business puts seniors front and centre in such a thoughtful way. Too often, promotions focus on attracting younger crowds, but this time, OK Chicken Rice is deliberately choosing to recognise and reward Singapore’s seniors with something meaningful – a comforting, delicious meal served with gratitude.
This campaign is especially relevant in the current social climate, where many elderly Singaporeans may be facing rising living costs and other pressures. A simple act of kindness, like offering a complimentary meal, can go a long way.
Even better, this isn’t some small symbolic tasting portion – the giveaway consists of a full serving of their signature chicken rice (available in roasted, steamed, or mayo/lemon varieties) or a generous bowl of chicken laksa. This shows them aren’t cutting corners; they’re giving seniors a proper treat.
What’s On Offer
If you or your loved ones were born in 1965 or earlier, you’re entitled to redeem one complimentary meal during the promotional period. The redemption includes:
-
A limited edition SG60 fan – a great memento to mark the occasion.
-
A choice of signature chicken rice (roasted, steamed, or mayo/lemon) or chicken laksa – both full portions.
-
The chance to be featured in OK Chicken Rice’s SG60 photo collage – making the experience a part of a community celebration.
All it takes is to drop by an OK Chicken Rice outlet, snap a quick photo for the collage, and enjoy a wholesome meal. No complicated sign-ups or app downloads, just a simple way to give thanks and build memories.
What You Should Know Before Going
To ensure fair and manageable distribution, there are some important terms and conditions to keep in mind:
-
Eligibility: The promotion is open to Singaporeans aged 60 and above, born in 1965 or earlier.
-
Redemption Limit: Each eligible senior can redeem the meal once only.
-
Daily Limit: A maximum of 60 redemptions per outlet per day, so it’s best to come early in the day.
-
Peak Hour Exclusion: Redemptions are not allowed during peak hours between 12–2pm and 5–7pm.
-
Total Campaign Limit: Each outlet has a 600 redemption cap for the entire campaign.
-
Dine-In Only: The meals are for dine-in customers only, making it a great opportunity for seniors to sit down and enjoy their food comfortably.
The campaign runs from Saturday, 19 July to Saturday, 9 August 2025, giving ample time to visit and redeem, provided the daily caps haven’t been met.
Where to Go
OK Chicken Rice has multiple outlets across Singapore, many located in neighbourhoods easily accessible by MRT or bus. Their outlets are popular for their affordability and consistent quality, often run by friendly staff who provide warm service. While exact locations aren’t listed in the promotion post, the brand regularly posts outlet updates on their Facebook page, where further details and participating stores may be available closer to the promotion period.
Why You Should Encourage Loved Ones to Go
If you have parents, grandparents, or older relatives who qualify for this promotion, it’s worth encouraging them to take part – or better yet, accompany them for the meal. It’s more than just free food. It’s a chance for them to feel appreciated and celebrated in a communal setting.
In fact, many older folks may not even hear about this unless their children or grandchildren tell them. Spreading the word could ensure more people benefit from this thoughtful campaign.
Additionally, having them take a photo for the SG60 collage adds a personal touch and inclusion into a broader national celebration. It’s an experience that goes beyond eating – it’s about being seen, honoured, and included.
About OK Chicken Rice
For those unfamiliar with the brand, OK Chicken Rice has become a well-loved local name thanks to their dedication to classic flavours done right. Their chicken rice – in both traditional and creative flavours like mayo and lemon – is often praised for its tenderness, fragrant rice, and addictive chilli sauce. The laksa, meanwhile, hits all the right notes with its rich, spicy broth and hearty toppings.
They’ve also run several community-driven campaigns over the years, including budget meals and festive meal sponsorships for lower-income families. This SG60 giveaway is very much in line with their track record of giving back, making them more than just a food vendor – but also a brand that believes in community values.
Final Thoughts
In a sea of National Day promotions, it’s refreshing to see one that puts seniors first. While many deals revolve around shopping or entertainment, this campaign serves a deeper purpose: celebrating the very people who helped shape the Singapore of today.
For seniors, it’s a meaningful token of appreciation. For the rest of the community, it’s a reminder of how simple gestures can uplift lives and strengthen bonds.
So whether you’re eligible yourself or know someone who is, do make the effort to be part of this. Bring your loved ones, take a photo for the SG60 collage, and enjoy a delicious meal in good company. It’s these small, heartfelt initiatives that truly make National Day celebrations more inclusive and memorable.
