Where to use CDC Vouchers 2026
If there’s anything Singaporeans can agree on, it’s that free things must take. After all, the only thing better than a good deal is not having to pay a thing at all. A new set of CDC Vouchers was released just this month, and each household will be able to claim a total of $300 from now till 31st December 2026.
If you don’t already know, the use of the CDC Vouchers is split 50-50 between hawkers, heartland merchants, and supermarkets. But that doesn’t mean you’re relegated to utilising them at just hawkers and participating supermarkets. Here’s where to use your CDC Vouchers, including things to do, eat, and buy that you might not have known about.

- Where to spend your CDC vouchers
What are CDC vouchers?
As part of Budget 2025, every Singaporean household is entitled to a total of $800 worth of CDC vouchers to help offset the cost of daily expenses in 2025 and 2026. These vouchers will be given out over 2 tranches – $500 in May 2025, and another $300 in January 2026.
Although the vouchers we received back in May 2025 have already expired as of last year, the latest tranche of vouchers that you can redeem starting from 2nd January 2026 has an expiry date of 31st December 2026.
Note that unlike SG60 Vouchers, CDC Vouchers are allocated based on your household’s address, rather than individually. So, each household will receive 1 set of CDC vouchers worth $300 in total in Jan 2026.
But before you run with the idea that you can use the $300 to get yourself a fresh pair of kicks or some bubble tea, hold up! You can’t use the CDC vouchers just anywhere. After all, this initiative is not just meant to help households, but also to support heartland merchants and hawkers.
How to claim & redeem your vouchers
In case you are unfamiliar, redeeming your vouchers is actually quite a simple affair. For starters, all you have to do is to first head to CDC vouchers redemption website on mobile or desktop, login with your Singpass, and claim your vouchers. Only 1 member of your household will have to do this.
After the first person from a household claims the vouchers, they’ll receive a unique link sent to them via SMS. Afterwards, the rest of the household can start using them by accessing the page on mobile via this link.

To use the vouchers at a participating merchant, simply select how much you want to redeem in that particular transaction. The vouchers come in denominations of $2, $5, and $10.
After which, a QR code will be generated, and all you have to do is to show this QR code to the merchant, who will scan it and offset the corresponding amount from your purchase. All in all, pretty easy and no-frills!
Where can you use your vouchers?
In total, the $300 is split into 2 categories: $150 for supermarkets and $150 for local heartland merchants like hawker stalls. Here are some places where you can use your CDC vouchers:
Supermarkets
As mentioned, you’ll be able to use up to $150 worth of supermarket CDC vouchers to fund your grocery runs. Plus, you’re not limited to just shopping at major supermarkets either. Apart from well-known chains around Singapore like FairPrice, Prime Supermarket, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage, HAO Mart, and U Stars, you can also use your vouchers at smaller supermarkets found in your neighbourhood.
To be sure that the supermarket you are visiting accepts CDC vouchers, check that it displays the following yellow decal:

Take note that this $150 amount won’t be transferable with the other $150 meant for local merchants, and vice versa.
Visit the CDC website to check out a full list of participating supermarkets.
Eateries
CDC voucher-eligible hawker stalls make up a majority of participating merchants, and you can use them to either offset the cost of your food or to pay it off directly. Similar to supermarkets, participating stalls would have to display the following teal decal, so do check beforehand:

You’ll also find that quite a number of other eateries like restaurants and cafes are also on the CDC website’s list of participating hawkers and heartland merchants, so here are a couple for you to check out.
1. Cafe Wabi Sabi
Japanese cafe with rice bowls & sandos
2 things Singaporeans can never have enough of: Japan and cafe hopping. Which is why Cafe Wabi Sabi is the best place to use your CDC voucher on, as it hits all the marks with their Japanese-themed menu. They’re known for their sandos that are made with housemade shokupan.
Image credit: Eatbook
The fluffy milk bread is what holds classic fillings like tamagoyaki ($10.90), which also has egg salad and mixed greens; and beef steak ($16.90) that comes topped with caramelised onions. The sandwiches are stuffed to the brim, but if you want to fill up further, you can add on fries for $3.50.
Sukiyaki don.

If you must have rice, there are also various donburi bowls that are served with miso soup. Popular ones include sukiyaki don ($15.90), which has pork belly and an onsen egg; and salmon mentai don ($22.90) with sashimi salmon and mentaiko sauce.
Cafe Wabi Sabi review: “The bread was lightly toasted and yummy. The torched cheese gave a light tint of smokey flavour. The white coffee was delightful and well-presented. The staff casually checks if you’re done with your mains to serve desserts.Great ambience to get some work done, and there are power points too.” – jiyong lim via Google maps

2. Cafe Fufu
Wood-fired pizzas from $15
Image credit: Eatbook
Wood-fired pizza sounds like something you’d get at a fancy Italian restaurant, but they’re readily available at Cafe Fufu, a hole-in-the-wall eatery under an HDB block in Redhill. These pizzas are made from sourdough, which adds a tangy kick to the crust. What you get is crunch on the outside, and a tender chew on the inside, making it one of the best places where pizza-lovers can use their CDC voucher at.
Pizza Salami.
Image credit: Eatbook
The signature is the Pizza Fufu (from $22), which uses a coriander pesto base that is topped with prawns, dried tomatoes, and chilli flakes. If you want something more conventional, there’s the Pizza Salami (from $19.80), which sees salami slices on a tomato base. The whole pie is drizzled in a savoury and fragrant oregano olive oil.
Cafe Fufu review: “We ordered the salmon pasta and the pizza salami and we both enjoyed both thoroughly. The pasta was not overcooked, and it wasn’t overly creamy. As for the pizza salami, we felt the ingredients were fresh and for a woodfire pizza, the dough was not overcooked & perfectly chewy.” – Michelle Chiu via Google Maps
3. Bailey and Whiskey
Pet-friendly cafe serving all-day brunch
Tucked along Depot Road lies Bailey and Whiskey, make full use of your CDC voucher at this pet-friendly cafe serving all-day brunch. Known for their Whiskey’s French Toast ($16), the safari-themed cafe has all wooden furnishings and plenty of plants to really complete the nature theme. The floor is even carpeted with artificial grass on which the kids can make themselves at home.

For those looking to truly embrace their wild side, they have outdoor seating open to all, fur friends included.
Bailey & Whiskey review: “The waffle is fab, but is not on the menu so be sure to ask for it at the counter. The scrambled egg with mushroom toast is another must try! Scrambled perfectly with a generous portion of sautéed mushrooms on a delicious buttery toast.” – S Wun via Google maps
4. Little Island Brewing Co
Artisanal brewery with 30 beers on tap
With over 30 craft beers, wines, and spirits on tap, Little Island Brewing Co – a microbrewery in Changi Village – is perfect for those who enjoy their booze. Made in-house using traditional methods, the beers are brewed fresh – from grain to glass.

Available on a rotational basis, signatures include the Stars & Bars, an American IPA, and Naked Lager, which has notes of malt, vanilla, and honey. Prices start at $14 per serving, and vary depending on size. Do note that while Little Island Brewing Co also has outlets at South Beach and Gillman Barracks, only their Changi Village location accepts CDC vouchers.

5. The Cat Cafe
Bukit Timah cafe with 14 felines to cuddle
Nestled deep in Bukit Timah is The Cat Cafe – with 14 snuggly kitties under one roof. Unlike most other animal cafes that don’t really sell food, they have a pretty substantial menu here, with signatures such as Lasagna ($12) and Chicken Mushroom Pie ($7).
Image adapted from: The Cat Cafe via Facebook
$22 gets you 2 hours with the fluffy felines and a canned drink. While the cafe has another branch in Bugis, do note that only the Rail Mall outlet is where you can use your CDC vouchers at. You might want to swing by soon to pay a visit to the playful bunch though, as the Cat Cafe will be closing this particular outlet later this year in March, leaving only their Bugis outlet open.

Diamonds might be a girl’s best friend, but if they’re a little too far out-of-budget, you can never go wrong with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Since nothing shows sincerity like a handmade gift, go the extra mile with Flowers By Sadha’s floral arrangement workshops where you can make your own bouquet.

Fishing Buddy, quite simply, sells all the reels, rods, and lures you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Taman Jurong might be out of the way for some but you’ll just be minutes away from Jurong Lake, one of the legal fishing spots in Singapore.
Since you’re already out West, take a gander through the neighbourhood. There are plenty of things to do in Jurong, such as a Japanese onsen and Singapore’s oldest dragon kiln to check out.
Fishing Buddy review: “The store is well-stocked, and the staff was very knowledgeable and really helped me out on choosing a few lures for a beginner fisherman.” – Wee Seng Teo via Google Maps
9. Kiddy Palace
Children’s department store in Toa Payoh

Specialising in children’s and maternity products, the department store chain is a one-stop shop for parents, with everything from toys to toothbrushes in one place. Plus, most of their products are heavily discounted in comparison to retail, a welcome surprise considering how expensive parenting can be.

It’s run by a sweet elderly couple, and there are no prices here – in true retro fashion, the services are charged on a case-by-case basis.

Popular threading shop in Clementi
They say that the brows are the windows to the face – whoever “they” may be, it’s undeniable that a tidy set of eyebrows can have a dramatic effect on one’s appearance. If your caterpillars are looking sparse, eyebrow embroidery creates the illusion of fuller brows without the need for extensive drawing, spooling, and shaping.

You can get that at Brow Art Asia. Hidden in Clementi, the shop is especially popular among residents in need of an eyebrow grooming. They’re known for their detailed work and minimal pain during the tattooing process. If your brows are gucci, they also offer eyelash extensions and eyeliner embroidery to hasten your makeup process in the morning.

Where to spend your CDC vouchers
Until about 10 minutes ago, chances are you were one of many who thought that your CDC vouchers could only be spent at the same hawker stalls you’ve been frequenting all your life. From this list, though, it’s clear that that is not the case. From pet grooming to eyebrow threading, you can not only spend your vouchers on yourself, but your pets too. Heck, you can even spend them grooming the hair pets above your eyes.
