Children’s Festival Food
Opening Hours: 15 – 30 June, 10am – 9pm
Picnic Food Park
Omakase Burger
Make some space for some of the island’s best burgers. Picnic Food Park is bringing Omakase Burger to Children’s Festival, so you’ll get to savor their signature Cheeseburgers at Gardens by the Bay!
As part of the cooking process, Omakase’s USDA Choice beef patties are smashed against the grill, giving the burgers more caramelisation and char on the edges. Combined with the pillowy-soft potato rolls, melty cheese and tangy-sweet Omakase secret sauce, it makes for one satisfying burger.
Choose from the classic Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Applewood-Smoked Bacon Cheeseburger for your meal. Each set comes with your burger of choice, fries, and a drink, along with the option for premium upgrades!
For smaller hands and appetites, the Kids Meal comes complete with an Omakase Mini Cheeseburger, fries, a soft drink and a toy!
Further customise your set from the range of Premium Upgrades on offer. You can upgrade your drink to an A&W Rootbeer Float or fresh Thai Coconut, and upgrade the side of fries to Cheese Fries or Truffle Fries.
You can even swap the beef patty out for an Impossible™ Patty and change the fries to Impossible™ Chilli Cheese Fries, as part of the Omakase Burger X Impossible™ Foods collab!
Picnic Hawaiian Pizza
Pizzas make for perfect festival food, and you can either single slices or whole pizzas at the Picnic food truck! We like the Hawaiian pizza for the juicy slices of pineapple and thin-crust base – they also have Margherita, Pepperoni and Teriyaki Chicken pizza pies available.
Smöoy Frozen Yogurt
End your meal off with a topping-laden cup of Smöoy Classic Frozen Yogurt. This frozen yogurt company from Spain swirls out froyo that’s smooth and just slightly tart, perfectly refreshing for a humid day.
Toppings-wise, give the signature Spanish Nougat Sauce a try. This add-on is nutty and surprisingly not too sweet, with a unique texture to boot.
