There’s nothing quite as magical as these words: ‘1-for-1’.
Here’s the good news – buffet lines are back from 12 April, with restrictions in place. For one, food is served by staff, instead of the traditional self-service route.
On top of that, diners are required to wear their masks and maintain safe distancing of 1m when they queue for their food at the buffet lines.
Regardless, this is a good start for buffet lovers, especially for those who have been waiting for 1-for-1 buffet deals to resume across Singapore’s celebrated hotels and restaurants.
With that, here’s some help to know how you can save 50% or more for a sumptuous, leisurely meal with family or friends.
Think 1-for-1 buffet spreads that bring you the latest all-time favourite Singaporean dishes, international favourites, delectable pan-Asian fare, and the latest talk-of-the-town delicacies. Gratifying your soul (and tummy) is the raison d’etre for these buffets.
When dining, know which credit cards to use for a great deal. We’ve simplified this for you with an extensive list of discounts being offered for limited time periods by various banks so you can book your table like a boss (we knew you’d find the quick menus handy).
Make sure you quote the card you are using to pay in order to secure the best deal. If you find this article useful, please share and care! Bon appetit.
