There are times slaving over the stove does not seem like a viable option over the weekend, especially after a stretch of particularly trying workdays. Or weekend just feels like a good time to cut yourself some slack and indulge in some snacks. Here are food ideas that can be enjoyed alone (it's okay, we understand) or with the family – including the fussy young palates.

1. Earle Swensen's opens at Pasir Ris Mall East-siders can look forward to Earle Swensen's newest outlet at Pasir Ris Mall. The restaurant has six different cuts of steaks that are charcoal-grilled and topped with your choice of hand-crafted compound butter.

Prices start from $35 for Sirloin, Ribeye or Tenderloin. Also exclusive to Pasir Ris Mall is the new range of Butter Burgs ($21) and Signature Dry-Aged Beef Burger ($24). 5 things to add to your weekend to-do list There are also savoury and dessert croffles on offer (from $10).

What's a croffle? A hybrid of flaky croissant and waffle, freshly made to order. 2. healthy chicken for a healthy meal Never mind if your children refuse to eat brown rice or swallow the fish oil capsules.

U Farm Chicken boasts the world's first brown rice- and superfoods-fed chicken enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. Scientific tests have shown that the chicken retains a high level of omega-3 even after cooking. A 100g portion of U Farm Skin-On Chicken Leg contains 841mg of omega-3 fatty acids – higher than consuming two 300mg capsules of fish oil.

U Farm Chicken is available.
