It’s one thing to go on a hunt for great-tasting food deals.
It’s quite another to actually find some.
I mean; I would know, considering the number of food escapades I’ve embarked on. In fact, my colleague once said this straight to my face:
“If you spent half the time you commit to your stupid food deals… on your work; you wouldn’t be rushing home late every day.”
But hey; I’m not about to give up
Being the stoic, manly man I am, and having had the words ‘never-give-up’ implanted in the middle of my huge series of names, I’ve grown up to be one thing:
Determined.
No words are going to be able to shake my resolution; not my colleague’s, not my mum’s, not even my pet dog Matilda. I’m a man on a mission, and until I find those elusive food deals I’m not going down.
Editor: So did you find them?
Well yes, I certainly did. After weeks and weeks of training under a waterfall, I’ve finally uncovered six golden deals you gotta know about. And trust me;
They’re totally worth it.
1. Bar Nippon
Located in Japan Food Town, Bar Nippon is a place specialising in three main themes:
- Sake and Japanese Premium Whiskey
- Japanese Fresh Fruits
- Dashi Oden
Being the first and only store in town to provide a wide range of sake collection (which is coincidentally picked by Tokyo-based Michelin-starred restaurants), expect enjoyment of rare Japanese Whiskey brands such as YAMAZAKI, HIBIKI and many more. Also, relish first-class seasonal fruits and sumptuous fruits sake, as well as Japanese traditional hotpot with DASHI soup.
Deal: 20% off min. spend of S$50

2. Ginza Lion
Situated on the first floor of Suntec City Mall, Ginza Lion is a Japanese dining establishment that seeks to “spread the culture of beer hall to the world”.
Specialising in draft beer, it utilises a traditional method which sees the beer being poured in one seamless action, translating to a fine foam that traps the beer’s original aroma.
Though if you’re here for food, the Roast Black Angus Beef is one highly-hyped delicacy you might wanna sink your teeth into.

3. Riz Labo Kitchen
A serial sucker for pancakes? Well, you’ve gotta try Riz Labo Kitchen’s fluffy souffle pancakes.
Impossibly poofy and sumptuous, these pancakes have drawn a huge following over in Japan and attracted entire hordes during its stay here in Singapore. And I’m not doubting it one bit, considering how even the aesthetics seem top-notch.
