Swensen’s Is Turning Laksa Into Pizza And Muah Chee Into Waffles For Singapore’s 61st Birthday

Written by Jon Phay

Every National Day, restaurants roll out limited time menus inspired by Singapore flavours. This year, Swensen’s is giving local favourites a Western twist.

Highlights include Laksa Pizza, Muah Chee Waffle with Ice Cream and Jumbo Blue Prawn Hokkien Mee. Meanwhile, the S$61 SG61 Family Set Meal is the promotion’s biggest highlight. Available from 9 July to 9 September 2026, it’s designed for three people.

The set includes:

  • 1 Shiok Fish Burger
  • 2 mains (choose from Fish Baked Rice, Chicken Baked Rice, Black Pepper Seafood Pasta or Spaghettoni Carbonara)
  • 3 MILO Bandung drinks
  • 1 Muah Chee Waffle with Ice Cream

Participating Swensen’s outlets islandwide will serve the National Day menu from 9 July to 9 September 2026.

Local favourites with a Swensen’s twist

The Laksa Pizza is easily the biggest conversation starter on the menu. Instead of tomato sauce, it uses aromatic laksa flavours before being topped with prawns, fish cake, tau pok, egg and laksa leaves. Mozzarella ties everything together for an east meets west combination.

If you prefer noodles, the Jumbo Blue Prawn Hokkien Mee gives the hawker favourite a more indulgent treatment. Seafood broth infused noodles come topped with a whole jumbo blue prawn, grilled chicken breast, squid, fish cake and egg. Sambal belacan and calamansi are served on the side.

There’s also the Shiok Fish Burger, which swaps the usual fast food style patty for a crispy battered fish fillet layered with lettuce and creamy mayonnaise tartar sauce inside a soft brioche bun. It comes with fries and a mesclun salad.

Don’t skip dessert

For dessert, the Muah Chee Waffle with Ice Cream combines two nostalgic favourites. Swensen’s fills a freshly made waffle with chewy muah chee before topping it with your choice of ice cream and peanut powder.

Meanwhile, the Chili Crab Soup with Mantou returns this year with real crab meat and golden mantou for dipping. Diners can also add an extra mantou for just S$0.61 with any SG61 dish.

To complete the meal, the nostalgic MILO Bandung also makes a comeback. It blends creamy MILO with rose scented bandung for a drink many Singaporeans grew up with.
