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.

#1 FENG SHUI INN – BEST PLACE FOR FAMILY GATHERINGS

Feng Shui Inn prides itself on its authentic fine Cantonese cuisine and you could tell from the moment you step into the restaurant on level G2 of Crockfords Tower. The restaurant’s interior is quintessentially Chinese, with a warm, intimate colour palette that sets the mood, and your appetite, for some good Cantonese chow down.

It has a mix of square tables for groups of four, huge communal tables for big groups, and a couple of private rooms for those looking for well, a quieter dining experience. Things can get pretty busy during meal hours, especially on weekends so visit at ‘non-peak’ periods if you want a more intimate experience. Lunch is served from 11am, followed by high tea, dinner and then supper; it doesn’t break or end until 1am (on weekends) so you can walk in anytime in between.

Now to the food. For those who grew up on Cantonese cuisine, this restaurant is perfect for birthday celebrations. Whether it’s for your old folks or even yourself, the menu has a selection of favourite dim sums and classic stir-fried dishes that is sure to get quite the reception from gourmands. They specialise in the Canadian Geo-Duck Clams Two Ways (S$268++) – Sashimi and Stir-Fry.

The Double-Boiled Chicken Soup with Cordyceps and Fish Maw (S$38++) is a comforting broth with very huge fish maw pieces.

#2 FRATELLI PIZZERIA – CASUAL HANG-OUT WITH YOUR BUDDIES

As one half of the newest addition to the dining options here, Fratelli Pizzeria is the more casual and communal side of the entire establishment, offering sharing plates and a huge range of authentic Italian pizzas. Fratelli Pizzeria has an amazing ambience for get-togethers with friends.

We were oddly drawn to the Baccala Pizza (S$36++), a pizza topped with cod fish and potato mousse. The combination of tangy tomato base and light airy mousse was such a wonderful one. We loved the Mare Pizza (S$68++) too, which is a classic seafood pizza. If you prefer pasta, the Gnochetti Di Patate Alla Piemontese (S$30) is a lighter gnocchi option.

Fratelli Trattoria is the other half, and it is a fancier one with an interior that is set to impress. Thankfully, the food lived up to our expectations and they completed the whole authentic experience for us.

The Paccheri Alla Vittorio (S$32++, Vegetarian option) is the definition of a simple, fuss-free and delicious pasta. The Paccheri pasta is tossed with tomato sauce, fresh basil and parmigiano reggiano cheese – balanced flawlessly. They have a ton of different meats and pasta options for you to pick from. Treat you and your partner out to a romantic date and we can assure you that they will be satisfied.

With a wide and unblocked view of the aquarium, featuring a huge number of underwater creatures, the restaurant specialises in sustainable seafood dishes.

Start off with Oysters on Ice (S$29++) – done three ways with three different toppings. Then, move on to a starter of romantic Sous Vide Salmon (S$28++), before finishing off with a Pan Seared Glacier 51 Toothfish (S$68). The Toothfish was cooked extremely well and had a texture akin to cod fish – smooth and creamy. Aren’t you also surprised that prices are reasonable for the quality and ambience?

Osia Steak and Seafood Grill is an Australian-style restaurant, focusing mainly on meats and grilled items. Great precision is taken to ensure that every dish put on your plate is done to perfection. Bring your friends or business partners down for a nice meal here and start off with the Hot Seafood Plate (S$128++), consisting of grilled octopus, king prawns, white wine clams and more.

Then, you can move on to your mains. Two particularly popular choices are Byron Bay Berkshire Pork Rack (S$56) and Mayura Station Signature Full Blood Wagyu Beef Ribeye (S$180++). The pork had just the right amount of fat to lean meat ratio and the Wagyu is basically melt-in-your-mouth – especially if you order it medium-rare.

Located inside ESPA, Tangerine is a quaint and serene cafe that serves healthy food that actually tastes out of the world. Food here are low in calories and naturally healthier for your body. Each dish is plated so beautifully, and they deserve a spot on your Instagram feed.

Healthy food is often associated with bland and unappetising dishes, but at Tangerine, the dishes are an explosion of flavours – especially the Scottish Salmon Fillet (S$32++). The salmon was done so well, we polished the plate clean. We suggest finishing the meal off with the Compressed Tropical Fruit (S$16), a light and decadent end to your meal that is simple but refreshing.
