As the month of October comes to an end, one of Singapore’s most iconic Indian festivals Deepavali is celebrated. One of the major festivals of Southeast Asia, the festival is celebrated by most Indian families in Singapore and often involves colored powdered Rangoli floor decorations and lights being placed outside houses and symbolizes a day of joyous celebration for Indians from all walks of life.

Celebrating the vibrant festival in true Deepavali or Diwali spirit, Singapore’s premier and award-winning Indian restaurant, Punjab Grill at Marina Bay Sands presents its highly anticipated Deepavali 2016 Sweet Box range. Created by Head Chef Javed and his team, the colourful Mithai boxes of elegant sweets contain the 18-piece “Jannat “for $68 and the 28-piece “Royal Mithai box “for $90.

The hand-crafted sweets include:

1. Alphonso Mango & White Choco magical delight
2. Delectable Darjeeling Green Tea & Refreshing Pista Barfi
3. Sensational Crunchy & Munchy Sugar Free Dates and Figs Sweets
4. Magnificent Sweet Tooth Blueberries Delight Dulce.
5. Macadamia Nuts & Saffron Swirl Roll Stuffed with Rose Petals Marmalade
6. Roasted Flaxseeds & Moti Choor Paak Delight.

“The boxes give a modern twist to traditional sweets by using healthier and creative ingredients. For this year, there’s the ‘Sensational crunchy & munchy sugar free dates and figs that’s sugar free like the sweets’. Other modern flavours include the ‘Magnificent Sweet Tooth blueberries delight dulce’ and ‘Delectable Darjeeling Green tea & Refreshing pista Barfi.’ We hope that our customers will enjoy a bonding session with their families over our delectable gift of sweets!” said Chef Javed

Other than the delicious sweets, Punjab Grill has a delicious Diwali Chef Tasting Menu at $99++ per person that has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The menu itself is a 3 course dinner that consists of a light appetizer, a hearty main course and a refreshing dessert course that is guaranteed to end the meal off on a high note. Most of the food will be familiar to most Indian families, such as Chicken Tikka, Biryani Rice and a traditional Jalebi dessert. So do bring your family down for a gastronomic Indian feast and we wish all of our Indian friends a happy Deepavali!
