Burgers for Your Babes Buzzy burger joint Meat Liquor has introduced its new $12 kids’ combo menu, which means you can bring along your little ones without having to buy them an adult-priced meal. Kids can choose between the trendy eatery’s best- selling cheeseburger (made with USDA prime Angus beef), the chicken burger and the hot dog – each served with fries or veggie sticks, and a drink. And, if you’re still throwing back Space Gin Fizzes and Pisco Punch cocktails by the time they’re done, set your kiddos up with some ice cream for $3 extra. 99 Duxton Road. meatliquor.com/singapore
