3. A Unique Experience at TMK Rap & Rolls

For less traditional Christmas fare and a vibey atmosphere, look to TMK Rap & Rolls, where you’ll find a unique menu including an exclusive Uni Hotdog, or the ever-popular signature Poppin Ice-cream. A Festive Brunch is available on 23–26 and 30–31 December, and 1 January and a Festive Dinner on 24 and 25 December and 1 January, both with 90-minute free-flow available. And that’s not all — at all Pirata Group restaurants (including the neighbourhood’s The Pizza Project and Pici), dine during December to go into a raffle for the chance to win a trip to two to Japan. And keep an eye out for an appearance from Santa and his assistant Santarina, who’ll be popping in from 24–26 December!
