WHY DOES EATIGO WORK?

All these discounts are great, but is there a catch?

Not at all. The app makes use of yield management to bring peak-hour crowds to off-peak hours.

Restaurants are often packed during traditional mealtimes but tend to be almost empty during off-peak hours (say, 3pm). This isn’t good for restaurants, especially when costs for manpower, electricity, water and rent are still being incurred.

But would you shift your eating times for no reason at all? We wouldn’t too. eatigo’s yield management gives us that reason. These time-based discounts are offered throughout the day. Higher discounts of up to 50% offered during off-peak hours, while peak hours yield lower discounts, at a minimum of 10%.

This way, while us diners are enjoying meals at a lower cost, restaurants can also continue turning a profit during off-peak hours even after the given discounts, resulting in a win-win situation for both.

This post is brought to you by eatigo.

How is it that we are already in December?

We are done to the last 30 days of 2016, and it sure had been an eventful year. Forget the bad, and focus only on the good; always be grateful, eat well, and live well.

We all want only the best meals to close the year, and here are some awesome dining deals in December for your enjoyment.

COCOBOLO POOLSIDE BAR + GRILL

Cocobolo Poolside Bar + Grill at Park Hotel Clarke Quay should definitely be on every meat lover’s list for some serious meat feasting this festive season. On top of digging into the conventional turkey and ham, there are many other barbecued treats to look forward to!

We are nearing the end of the year, and that’s when things are getting exciting for the F&B restaurants in Singapore. In November, many of us are already in our holiday moods and that means that the feasting and self-pampering begins!

Over time with inflation, meals get more expensive and each day is a reminder for us to be mindful of our spendings, yet there are times when you just feel like giving yourself a treat. Pampering yourself should not come at a high cost and we agree with that!

In our city where the F&B businesses have strong competition is where we as consumers stand to gain. Almost all the restaurants in Singapore are collaborating with various credit card companies, mobile applications and coming up with their own promotions to give customers the best deals in town.

While we sure aren’t complaining, it can be hard to keep up with all the different discount schemes that are popping up every day. Here is a simple guide to 7 Dining Memberships in Singapore that we live by.

#1 THE ENTERTAINER

One single app/book, more than 1,275 offers. Covering across food, travel and lifestyle, The Entertainer has partnerships with over 325 merchants in Singapore alone for you to choose from. This user-friendly app allows 1-for-1 access to dinners in restaurants, cafes and fast-food takeouts. Who does not like ‘buy-1-get-1-free’ deals?!

Foodies may be pleased to know that participating F&B merchants include big names and upcoming favourites such as Ben and Jerry’s, Spizza, Arbite, Fat Cow, Pool Grill at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, and Bedrock Bar & Grill.

The Entertainer comes in two forms – a mobile app and a book. You are expected to save around S$89,000 upon full utilisation, with new offers added regularly throughout the year. Each merchant offers three vouchers which may be the same or vary slightly so you get discounts at your favourite place three times!

Going for S$85, the mobile app can be purchased on the website or via the app store. There is no complicated procedure nor hidden terms and conditions.

All you have to do is to create a code for yourself, punch in your code to redeem a deal, then have the merchant input theirs and that’s it. Your second item will be waived off.

HOW MUCH IT IS: S$85
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: 1,275 offers that range from restaurants, beauty salons, activities such as fitness classes and discounts at worldwide hotels and resorts – with total savings up to S$89,000.

The Entertainer app is available for purchase at S$85 on the App Store and Google Play.

It may not be the cheapest app, but it will be the app that saves you the most money. Think about how you are entitled to more than 1,000 deals, and they are all 1-for-1 – in other words, you buy one (can be a main, can be a drink) and enjoy the second for free. Do note that the 1-for-1 offers vary, and are ultimately dependent on the merchant you visit. No hidden terms and conditions, most definitely! However, they are not applicable on the eves of public holidays and public holidays itself.

A steak may cost S$80, and a dinner for two at that steak restaurant will then be S$80 with the 1-for-1 offer! It does not take you many redemptions before you earn your value back. And of course, if you use it regularly, your savings will be gastronomical.

Few things in life will have us preaching about relentlessly, much less of an app. But when we do, you’d know it is one that we really swear by. You might have already guessed, and yes, it is the Entertainer app. God knows how we (our wallets) are so thankful for this one-for-one deal app.

Very essentially an one-for-the-price-of-one app that allows you to dine at many restaurants in Singapore, the Entertainer is the ultimate cost-savings app to buy for all food enthusiasts – with no strings attached. Dining out is made a lot more affordable and attractive, and there are also 250 four and five star and resorts hotels from all around the world that are listed on the app too! Yes, you read that right. Travel with more cost savings because with the app, you pay for one night and you get the second free.

Among our favourites is Lime Restaurant at PARKROYAL on Pickering. Its buffet spread never fails to cheer us up after a long day at work, and with the Entertainer app, it means major cost savings for us – S$48++ for a couple on regular weekday lunches, and S$62++ for a couple on regular weekday evenings. This deal alone makes purchasing the Entertainer worth it.

Fancy a meal at Au Petit Salut at Dempsey Hill? It need not be an expensive affair, as long as you use the app to redeem deals. A main course will set you back by at least S$45, but with the Entertainer App, you will enjoy a complimentary main course with every main course ordered. Sounds like a good deal, yes?

Jewel Cafe & Bar is a frequent coffee spot for us, but their food makes us happy too. Well, life is even better because they are part of the Entertainer app – yay to one-for-one main course! Average check per visit (excluding coffee)? S$17 per couple. Score!

We can go on and on about our favourites, but nothing beats experiencing such phenomenal cost savings yourself. To existing users, aren’t you so convinced to dine out more often with this app? And to those who are still hesitating about buying the app, we’d say it is high time you convert. Come over and join us here where the pasture is greener!

Dining out in Singapore is a costly affair, but it does not have to be that way if you use the Entertainer – the best 2-for-1 dining and travel app. We are on our second year of using the app, and really, no regrets at all. We’ve saved so much!

The Entertainer features over 750 of the best restaurants, nightspots, leisure, attractions, spas, beauty and fitness centres in Singapore. While it can be quite a headache deciding on which place to check out, we will spare you from the filtering and share with you the top 10 restaurants curated on the Entertainer that are worth checking out.

Fat Cow is known for its Gyudon and Kuroge Washu (Japanese Black wagyu), and a meal here will easily set you back by S$100/pax. The Entertainer allows you to save at least S$50 – that’s almost the price that you have to pay to use the app for a year! UNA at Rochester Park specialises in home-style dishes from Spain – think tapas, grills and desserts prepared with the best seasonal ingredients. Get 1 free main course with every main course ordered.

Another restaurant that you should try out on the Entertainer is Candlenut. Helmed by Chef Malcolm Lee, Candlenut specialises in modern Peranakan cuisine. Regulars of Coca Steamboat will be happy to know that the outlet is also a participating tenant of the app too, with the same offer of 2-for-1 for its buffet lunch and dinner.

Lime Restaurant at PARKROYAL on Pickering is one of our favourite buffet restaurants in Singapore, and you enjoy 2-for-1 for its lunch and dinner buffets with the Entertainer. We like to go to Saint Marc Cafe for its hot matcha and Little Fuji, and we are very stoked to know that it is available on the app as well. Over at Zaffron Kitchen, feast on authentic Northern and Southern Indian cuisine in a chic and stylish setting.

How does 2-for-1 pizza/pasta sound? Head over to Da Paolo Pizza Bar at Chip Bee Gardens! If you like Italian food, mark down Gattopardo too. A main course ranges from $30-50; we will leave you to do the sums on how much you will save. Skyve Wine Bistro is a charming place to head to for a casual catchup with friends. With the 2-for-1 deal, you will only pay S$9.50++ for a brunch item like Ricotta Hot Cakes or Sous Vide Eggs Benedict.

We know it sounds too good to be true, but having been converts since 2013, we are loyal supporters of the Entertainer and we cannot think of why you should not be too. Get an additional 10% off the Entertainer App when you use the promo code: 2015LIC.

There’s the afternoon tea at 10 SCOTTS that we love, pizzas and pastas at Pete’s Place, local delights at StraitsKitchen’s popular uniquely Singaporean buffet spread, a round of BBQ buffet by the poolside at Oasis, and lunch at our favourite mezza9, the five signature restaurants at Grand Hyatt Singapore offer options for all occasions, and we can never get tired of dining there.

I will cut to the chase and tell you to go En Japanese Dining Bar at River Valley for their 50% promotion off Sushi and Sashimi from 6pm – 8pm daily.

The prices of the ala carte menu are similar to other Japanese Restaurants in Singapore. But it makes a whole lot of difference when you factor in the 50% discount off sushi and sashimi. Forget about the other Japanese casual dining restaurants, go to En Japanese Dining Bar’s for their 50% Early Bird Promotion.

It was a table full of food that night. We had Sashimi Platter, Maki rolls, Pork Belly (picture below), Sushi Platter, Soba and Black Sesame Ice Cream. By the way, En Japanese Dining Bar’s menu is not restricted to just Sushi and Sashimi. They have a good selection of Grilled Dishes, Tempura, Salad and Appetisers too.

We started with the Nigiri Platter ($23.80 before 50% discount) with 8 pieces of Sushi. Up next was the California Maki ($10 before 50% discount) which was nicely placed on an elongated white plate. Even without the 50% discount, I think it is good value considering that it comes at $10 for a platter of 6 Maki rolls.

Where else can you find a California Maki Platter at just $5++? This is incredible. Other selections on the Maki menu includes Soft Shell Crab Roll, Tuna Roll, and Salmon Avocado Roll (prices range from $4.80 to $12 before 50% discount).

Sashimi fans will definitely order the Sashimi Go Ten Mori ($34.50 before 50% discount) with five different kinds of sashimi. If you have a big group of friends, go for the Sashimi platter with seven different sashimi ($47.50 before 50% discount). Otherwise, the individual Sashimi options are available too.

En Japanese Dining Bar is a great reasonably priced Japanese Casual Dining Restaurant to satisfy your Japanese Food cravings.

Do note that the food promotion of 50% discount off Sushi & Sashimi is only available at their Mohamed Sultan branch (River Valley road). For those who cannot make it for the early bird discount from 6pm to 8pm, you can go there for supper as the Mohamaed Sultan branch opens till late night 3am on Friday and Saturday.

En Japanese Dining Bar has another branch at Bukit Timah and they have a different promotion of Japanese Hotplate Buffet at $48++/pax.

Service at the Japanese Restaurant was quite poor during our visit. Their staff were not very knowledgeable about the menu, and they missed out one of our orders. But I guess we can’t complain since they have such a good promotion.

This is going to be my new favourite place for cheap and good Japanese food… Unless you guys make it too crowded!
