If there’s one thing Singaporeans never say no to, it’s a good makan session — and when you throw in theatre, music, drama, and a generous discount into the mix, it becomes an event worth circling on your calendar. For those craving an evening filled with hearty laughter, iconic tunes, and a four-course feast, Dick Lee’s Fried Rice Paradise – The Makan Party is back in town. And for Singtel customers, there’s even better news — they are offering 10% off when you purchase two or more tickets.
Running from 26 June till 16 August 2025, this one-of-a-kind dinner theatre experience combines the best of Singaporean culture: food, music, and family drama. Whether you’re a fan of Dick Lee’s nostalgic hits or you simply want a memorable evening out with friends or loved ones, this immersive event is not to be missed.
What Is Fried Rice Paradise – The Makan Party?
If the name rings a bell, it’s because Fried Rice Paradise is one of Dick Lee’s most beloved creations. After the success of Por Por’s Big Fat Surprise Wedding, this new production takes the dinner theatre concept to another level.
Set in the heart of a fictional family-run restaurant, the story follows Bee Lean, the matriarch and culinary legend who’s preparing to hand over the reins of her iconic eatery. But choosing between her two daughters — the modern, branding-savvy Fancy or the traditional, no-nonsense Nancy — proves to be a sizzling challenge. The only way to decide who gets to wield the legendary wok? A dramatic culinary battle, judged by none other than the guests themselves.
Why Should One Go?
1. It’s Not Just Dinner – It’s Theatre on a Plate
What sets this event apart is the clever integration of live performance and food. Each ticket includes a sumptuous four-course meal, and you can choose from three menu options: Chicken, Seafood, or Vegetarian. As you savour your meal, you’ll be treated to a musical and theatrical performance unfolding right before your eyes — and yes, there’s audience participation too.
2. Sing Along to Dick Lee’s Iconic Songs
Expect to be swept away by the sounds of “Bunga Sayang”, “Mustapha”, and other well-loved Dick Lee classics. The show cleverly weaves these songs into the storyline, adding emotional depth and cultural charm that will resonate with both young and old.
3. Vote for the Boss Lady
This isn’t a passive theatre experience — it’s interactive. You get to decide who takes over the Fried Rice Paradise kitchen. Fancy or Nancy? As the drama heats up, so will the laughter and suspense. There’s something empowering and fun about being part of the story arc.
4. Great Value for Singtel Customers
Exclusively for Singtel users, there’s a 10% discount when buying two or more tickets. It’s a perfect opportunity to grab a group of makan kakis or plan a night out for a special occasion. The offer is available via the Singtel website or the “Rewards” section in the My Singtel App.
