Readers of ladyironchef can use the code “2016LIC” from now till 31 Dec 2015 for an exclusive discount of S$10 (usual price: S$85) off the Entertainer.

This post is brought to you by the Entertainer.

We all know how much money we can always save when dining out with the Entertainer App – perpetual 1-for-1 deals had us there, and we have been believers since its launch some years ago. With a good variety and number of established restaurants all around Singapore offering 1-for-1 mains, dining out is made a lot more affordable. And it comes as no surprise that the app will come in handy, especially during the festive season when you want to dine out at a fancy restaurant yet watch your spendings.

This festive month, if you are looking to bring your other half out for a romantic meal, restaurants that are under The Entertainer app’s merchant listing is aplenty. The block out dates are Christmas eve, Christmas day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day; other than these, you can enjoy 1-for-1 mains all the same!

Here are 6 Romantic Places in Singapore that you can use Entertainer App to celebrate Christmas with awesome 1-for-1 deals.

#1 HALIA AT RAFFLES HOTEL

While Halia at Raffles Hotel does not come with a beautiful garden view like the original Halia at Singapore Botanic Garden, it is no less romantic and offers the same contemporary European fare with Asian touches.

If there was only one dish that you could try, it would be Halia’s representative dish – the signature Singapore-style Chilli Crab Spaghettini (S$26). The Entertainer’s 1-for-1 offer applies to all mains.

#2 SPIZZA MERCATO AT CAPITOL PIAZZA 

We are big, big fans of the pizza selection here. Also, their amazing pasta options are nothing short of impressing. When we dined at Spizza Mercato at Capitol Piazza, we thoroughly enjoyed mains such as the Quinta pizza, Red Tomato Mezzelune (a stuffed pasta dish) and the springy Gnocchi. And the 1-for-1 offer via the Entertainer App is applicable on all mains here.

There are many mains to love here, and while we have many favourites that you can read about here, one not to be missed is the Prince of Monte Carlo (S$28) and the Beijing’s Dynasty-Duck Pancake (S$28). With the Entertainer, main courses are 1-for-1.

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.

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

This post is brought to you by the Entertainer Singapore.

Dining out in Singapore is a costly affair. We know that the total bill for a meal at a decent restaurant can easily rack up to the hundreds and most people try to avoid dining out at all. But do you know that you can dramatically cut your expenditure with 1-for-1 main course offers and even enjoy complimentary house pours at certain places? No, we are not kidding!

There are numerous ways to significantly reduce the costs of dining and we are thrilled to share these money-saving hacks with you, so that you can feel better about your epicurean lifestyle without worrying too much about the hefty prices.

From credit card rebates, happy hour promotions to The Entertainer app, here are 5 Ways You Can Save Money While Dining Out In Singapore.

#1 CREDIT CARDS REBATE

When used correctly, credit cards can actually help one save a significant amount of money. You just need to choose the right credit cards to apply for.

For example, the OCBC 365 Credit Card gives users 6% cash back on weekend dining and 3% cash back on overseas dining (with a minimum spend of S$600 per month). You can earn up to S$80 cash back every month, which adds up to total amount of S$960 each year!

#2 GROUPON VOUCHERS

Maybe Groupon’s popularity has plummeted, but it is still one of those ways that work. It allows one to purchase dining vouchers from various restaurants via the mobile app or the internet.

You can purchase a S$100 voucher at TungLok XiHé Peking Duck Restaurant for just S$60! These dining deals however do have an expiry date and varying redemption terms and conditions. Do remember to bring the printed voucher along or simply redeem it from your phone.

#3 HAPPY HOUR PROMOTIONS

Most bars do offer Happy Hour Promotions in the evening, where diners usually are entitled to a second alcoholic drink on the house or other discounts. ‘Happy Hour’ sure are two very pleasing words.

For example, diners at Pisco South American Kitchen & Bar get to enjoy 1-for-1 cocktails from 3pm to 7pm daily and Mezza 9 offers 50% discount off all cocktails from 6pm – 9pm from Monday to Friday. What a steal!

For more Happy Hour Promotions, read our guide on The Best Happy Hour Promotions In Singapore.

#4 LADIES NIGHT PRIVILEGES

Being a lady in Singapore has many perks. And you have to make use of them for Ladies Night privileges.

From complimentary beverages to free club entrances, you will be surprised by how much you can save on Ladies Night – typically on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays! Here’s a tip – all ladies are granted free admission and a free house pour at CÉ LA VI on Wednesday nights.

#5 THE ENTERTAINER

The Entertainer is an amazing mobile phone application that entitles users to 1-for-1 main courses and/or beverages (depending on the merchant). And it is an app that we have been signing up for for the last 2 years.

Use The Entertainer App and you can dine at PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel Lime Restaurant for free with a paying adult. Similarly, you get to enjoy 1-for-1 beverage at Habitat Cafe.

About the writer:
Hui Jun Ng is a staff writer for ladyironchef. She previously worked in the food and marketing industry. She loves traveling and enjoys exploring underrated destinations. In her free time, you will find her indulging in coffee and her all time favourite local dish – bak chor mee.

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!

This post is brought to you by The Entertainer Singapore.

Dining out is becoming increasingly expensive, and as of recent times, you have to spend at least S$30 for a decent meal. But what if I tell you that it is possible to enjoy an indulging meal at nice restaurants like B @ Rochester, The Pelican Seafood Bar & Grill, and The Disgruntled Chef at half the price?

I am always on the lookout for good dining deals and promotions, so when I found out about The Entertainer App, I knew I have to share it with all of you.

The Entertainer has just launched in Singapore and it offers an array of ‘buy one, get one free’ offers to the best restaurants, casual dining, swanky bars, popular nightspots, attractions, spas, and even hotel stays in Singapore. It is not just a must-have for locals, but also for visitors to Singapore. And the cherry on top? The Entertainer App http://www.theentertainerme.com/singapore/ is free!

This is one app that no one should miss out on, because it opens doors to the best deals in town. Even with the most common gripe about the increased cost of living, we should still and can pamper ourselves with indulgences like these, because when you have a one-for-one deal so attractive, you can wine and dine – minus the guilt and busting your weekly budgets.

We went to The Pelican Seafood Bar & Grill for lunch last week. Located at One Fullerton, The Pelican has an inviting setting with plush sofa, and wall panels that are made of copper plates, and they look like pieces of glitters. Not to mention that it also has a great view overlooking the Marina Bay area.

We enjoyed two main courses for the price of one, all thanks to The Entertainer App. The usual prices of the Tuna Steak and Bass Fillet were S$36 for each main course, but we got a ‘buy one, get one free’ deal using the app, and the bill came up to S$36 for both main courses. S$18 for each dish? What a steal, and we are completely sold! With The Entertainer App, you can dine in style without burning a hole in your pocket.

The Entertainer App is fuss-free, with an interface that is user-friendly, and there are no hidden costs or underlying conditions attached. All you have to do is to download the free app and flash the coupon when you are at the restaurant. Key in your pin, and the restaurant will key in their pin, then you can redeem. It is that simple! The second main course (the one of the same or lower value) will be completely free.

Besides The Pelican, The Entertainer App also offers one for one offers on main courses at other food & beverage establishments such as B @ Rochester, Bedrock Bar & Grill, Buyan, Brunetti, Coq & Balls, Esmirada, Hard Rock Cafe, Hummerstons, The Disgruntled Chef, Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant, and Yantra.

The free app offers you a glimpse of some of the good deals that The Entertainer offers. But for the real deal, you must get the full version of the Entertainer Singapore which is available as a book or on mobile. There are over 990 buy one get one free offers, and while it is S$76, it is considered a steal because of the savings that you will get in return.

With The Entertainer, there is always something to smile about. Download the app from the App Store and Google Play now!
