CHUAN.GRILL NOODLE & BAR

An outdoor eatery specialising in delectable Sichuan cuisine, Chuan. Grill Noodle & Bar caters to meat-lovers with their Northern-style grilled meat and vegetable skewers, but we felt the real star of the shop was definitely their la mian.

With over 10 different varieties of noodles to choose from, all of which are customisable to your own liking, you’d be hard pressed to find something that doesn’t match your tastes. While the signature dish is their Signature Beef Combination Noodle (S$16.50) that comes with ribeye, tendon and shank, the underdog is definitely the owner’s favourite Pork Rib Noodle (S$12.50) with just how delicious the broth alone was.

KUSHIKATSU TANAKA

If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual ramen or sushi grub, look no further as Kushikatsu Tanaka offers the finest and most authentic kushikatsu experience in Singapore. For the uninitiated, kushikatsu refers to the Japanese style of deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables.

They offer assorted skewer sets for those indecisive about which ones to choose. Their Recommended 5 (S$8.20) comes with Asparagus, Lotus Root, Beef, Pork and Onion that are nothing short of delicious, with the natural flavour retained within a thin crisp breading layer. If you’d prefer something a bit more hands-on, the DIY Potato Salad Mentaiko (S$10) is sure to please.

MARUGAME UDON

Marugame Udon & Tempura is a Japanese restaurant that offers freshly made Sanuki-style Udon at affordable prices. Operating in a self-service manner, you get to choose your preferred tempura to go along with your udon, before slathering as many toppings at the seasoning bar to your hearts’ content.

Mentaiko lovers watch out because they’re seriously heavy handed on the mentaiko. A bowl full of perfectly chewy udon covered in pollack roe makes for an extremely sinful meal that you know you’d be back for over and over again.

RODIZIO DO BRAZIL CHURRASCARIA & BAR

Something further from the norm, Rodizio Do Brazil is an authentic Brazilian steakhouse and bar, where on top of their Asian and Western buffet spread, their chefs come over with giant skewers of meat to carve it right in front of you, on your table.

The meat ranges from lamb to beef and even more varieties and less-commonly eaten cuts such as Chicken Hearts and Beef Hump—in which their pride lies in that their beef and lamb are grass-fed instead of grain-fed, resulting in a lower fat to meat ratio without sacrificing any of the flavours. Not to worry about the meat-fiesta being too overwhelming, their grilled pineapples are the perfect accompaniment to it.

We can’t get enough of the cuts and buffet is definitely the go-to option in this case!

SPICE WORLD HOTPOT

Take what you know and love about the regular hot pot and bring them a few levels up—that’s what Spice World Hotpot is, serving up authentic Sichuan flavour. Both the interior and the dishes themselves are incredibly ornate, almost overwhelmingly so, but whether for a dinner occasion or to settle some post-clubbing cravings, we could always use that touch of extra.

Widely known for their adorable Teddy Bear Spicy Butter (S$9.90) soup base, you get to begin your meal by watching the cute little mascot disintegrate into its own juices. What people normally come in for, too, is their Premium Barbie Wagyu Beef (S$38.90) — a Barbie doll wrapped in thin slices of beef akin to Lady Gaga’s meat dress. Our favourite definitely has to be their One Meter Mutton Slices (S$28.90), its heady game meat flavour complementing the umami of the broth. While it seems rather gimmicky at first, the quality of the ingredients and dishes served makes the presentation just the cherry on top.

They pride themselves on premium ice cream made in-house, sandwiched between meringue like a burger, and believe us, this is worth having a cheat day for.

The results of the continuous effort and passion that goes into their craft is evident in the Iceburg experiences.

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.

This post is brought to you by Fave Singapore.

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.

It may not be the cheapest app, but it will be the app that saves you the most money.

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.

For more information about the Entertainer app, you can find out here.

This post is brought to you by the Entertainer Singapore.

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.

Do you remember The Entertainer?

We shared our love for our favourite app a year ago and you can read it here, and it is still our favourite dining app since. If you don’t already know, it is an app that entitles you to 2-for-1 deals for food, travel and lifestyle. Yes, you read that right. Buy 1 get 1 free – with no strings attached. We know how irritating it is when a promotion comes with all sorts of terms and conditions, so we are done with that nonsense and we are now loyal to The Entertainer.

You have no idea how much money this app has saved us for the past year, and come 2015, we will definitely purchase it again for a whole year of deals and savings. With over seven hundred and fifty offers for Singapore’s hottest restaurants, bars, cafes, spas and attractions, The Entertainer Singapore 2015 will take you through a year of unbelievable and unbeatable one-for-one fun. And if you travel a lot, be spoilt with the choices of over 250 participating 4 and 5-star hotels that are also offering two-for-one night stays!

Get The Entertainer Singapore 2015 before 31 December 2014 and enjoy an early bird promotion at S$60 for the mobile version of the app. That’s not all. On top of the early bird promotion, readers of ladyironchef get an additional 10% off the Entertainer App when you use the promo code: 2015LIC.

We share with you why this is one app that is the best Christmas present you can gift yourself and your loved ones, alongside some sneak peeks on the deals you can look out for in the app.

Here’s why you should get The Entertainer Singapore 2015 – the best 2-for-1 dining and travel app:

HOW AND WHERE TO PURCHASE THE ENTERTAINER

The Entertainer comes in two forms – a mobile app and a book. The offers in both products are standardised, and the expected savings for a full utilisation is S$89,000. New offers are regularly added to the app throughout the year, and each merchant offers three vouchers – they may be identical promotions, or a mixture of various offers.

Okay, now to the cost. Which may be quite a scare on first sight, but allow us to tell you why it is actually not that expensive after all. The app retails at S$75 and it can be purchased on the website or via your app store. The book retails at S$80 that comes in a collective form of individual coupons, and can also be purchased on the website or at selected bookstores. Each purchase lasts you till 31 December 2015.

As mentioned, there is an early bird promotion if you make your purchase before 31 December 2014. The app will go at S$60 and the book will be at S$75 with free shipping. Remember to use the promo code: 2015LIC to get an additional 10% discount. And trust us, you will get this investment back easily with all the savings when you dine out and travel.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE AND NO STRINGS ATTACHED

No complicated procedures on how to redeem your deals. For the book, it is straightforward. They come in individual coupons, so every time you make a purchase, just present the respective ones and they will waive the item instantly.

The app is no rocket science, too. Upon activating the app, you will create a code for yourself, and every time you want to redeem a deal, just punch in your code, then have the merchant key theirs in, and we are done. The second item will then be free and waived from your bill.

You can search by categories – dining, travel, attractions, spas, hotels etc. And you can also search by areas, malls and cuisines.

Found your regular haunts, or places that you’ve been meaning to visit? Have them bookmarked and they can easily be found under your ‘Favourites’, so you’d not have to scramble to look for them when you need to do your redemption.

There is also a tab that calculates your savings. And we call this the ‘feel-good tab’. That inexplicable satisfaction when you see the ticking numbers… your decision to purchase The Entertainer 2015 is proven to be right.

ENJOY THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE… WITH THE BEST 1-FOR-1 PROMOTIONS

Now, where do we even begin? The line up of participating merchants is an enthralling one – expect the finest restaurants, bars, cafes hotels, spas, and attractions. Some of our favourite dining establishments – as well as new dining spots that we have been meaning to try out – include Bedrock, & Sons, Bitters & Love, Lime Restaurant, Fat Cow, Ben & Jerry and Zaffron Kitchen.

Let us illustrate how you can enjoy instant saving: You order a main course at a participating restaurant for S$42, and your partner orders another for S$40. The total bill would then be S$42 before taxes. It is as simple as this, and you now see how it is really buy one get one free?

The Entertainer Travel 2015 is also included as part of the package – it features over 250 free night offers at leading 4 and 5-star hotels across Asia and beyond. So it works the same way – you buy one night, the second one is free.

If you are a food lover and dine out often, there is absolutely no reason for you to not buy the app. So make sure you get it before 31 December 2014 for the early bird promotion. 365 days of feasting with the best 2-for-1 dining and travel deals with The Entertainer Singapore 2015. Get it now!
