Well, hereโ€™s some advice, donโ€™t; youโ€™ll choke and die.

But from now until 30 April 2019, you can do them one after another at Marina Square with Manekineko and Seoul Garden!

Manekineko and Seoul Garden

Hereโ€™s some information for those who need it:

The Japanese karaoke chain, Manekineko, is popular for a reasonably priced singing experience in its vibrant rooms, along with the perks of free-flow of drinks and snacks at the self-service bar.

Seoul Garden, on the other hand, is a Halal-certified Korean brand offering buffet KBBQs on their 2-in-1 proprietary smokeless grill system.

Worth it?

Karaoke Manekineko has many different outlets, and across different outlets, the rates differ.

The Marina Square outlet, however, has these rates:

Seoul Garden, on the other hand, is priced like this:

Thatโ€™s a ton of information to take in at once, but hereโ€™s the bottom line- you can save a maximum of $28.80 if youโ€™re an adult belting out your tunes/ stuffing your face on a Saturday night.

But, donโ€™t bother with this deal if youโ€™re a student (above 12) going out on a weekday for the lunch buffet and clocking your 2 hours on the microphone before 6 pm, that will only cost you $32.70.

Alternatives for cheapskates

Itโ€™s quite a deal, if youโ€™re old enough and going on the right day/time, but maybe youโ€™re not, but still want the pleasure of eating and singing.

Did you know Karaoke Manekineko has their own buffet?

Itโ€™s only available at Ganso Manekineko at Orchard Cineleisure. But look at the prices, itโ€™s potentially cheaper if you go for the lunch buffet (though the Ganso buffet at night is no different):

My colleague who has been to the buffet has this to say:

โ€œLots of food and lots of people. Itโ€™s really quite a hassle to bring the food all the way to your room. If your room is far, best of luck: youโ€™ll be spending more time walking than singing / eating.

โ€œBut the foodโ€™s pretty good and fresh. Thereโ€™s an array of fresh seafood too, so youโ€™re really getting your buckโ€™s worth.โ€

The main difference between this and our Seoul Garden Karaoke package experience though (other than the type of food you get probably) is you get 3 hours in total for both your food and songs, which brings us back to the eating and choking point.

And if youโ€™re an even bigger cheapskate, did you notice that we brought up the free flow of drinks and snacks you get with any session?

I mean for a whopping extra fee of $0 you get all-you-can-eat soft drinks, hot beverages, tidbits and ice cream.

Now thatโ€™s the real deal.

Would you be jailed for being half-naked in public? Well, the answer will shock you. Seriously. Watch this to the end and you'll understand:
