A little Oktoberfest. A LOT of neighbourhood. 🍻🥨
Oktoberfest looks a little different on The Drive — and that’s exactly how we like it.

🌶️ MN’A Wings Corner is turning up the heat with a limited-time Pumpkin Spice dry rub joining their 140+ wing flavours.
🇵🇭 Kulinarya Filipino Eatery brings Filipino flavour to the festivities. Kain tayo!
🍹 Nasa Bakery + Café is going Prost without the booze with strawberry mocktails and alcohol-free apple strudel.

Three stops. Three completely different flavours. One very Drive-style Oktoberfest.
