Foodies and bargain-hunters alike are constantly on the prowl in Singapore. If you’re part of the pack and you spend most of your days eagerly hunting for the best deals, heads up: the Chope Deals’ Online Food Festival is happening now.
From 1 to 5 October 2018, get your fingers and bandwidth ready – the Festival comes loaded with flash deals up to 75% off (released at 12PM, 3PM, and 6PM from 1 – 4 October) and up to 50% off cash dining vouchers.
Here’s what you can eat your way through for a fraction of the original price, from CapitaLand Malls’ restaurants like The Coffee Academics, Ambush, and Tim Ho Wan:

Ambush-Pan European Dining describes themselves as a ‘sausage & pasta bar’ – it might sound like an odd combo, but they sure know their European cuisine inside out. Yet, they’re not afraid of a little fusion and can throw together a tasty dish using ingredients like seaweed, fish roe, and thai basil.

They also have a solid selection of pasta dishes, from Arrabiatta with Lobster Tail ($18.80) to Crispy Chicken & Seaweed ($11.80).

Besides seafood, they also have other dishes like the Fried Mushroom Platter ($11) and burgers like the C.O.W Burger ($12.90).

As its name goes, The Coffee Academics serves up an excellent brew. Choose from the likes of Ice Drip Coffee ($10) or Hand Crafted Coffee (from $8) to fill up on your much-needed caffeine for the day. But they do their food equally as well.

Chinese restaurants aren’t just for stuffy family dinners – joints like Lokkee shows off the playful side of Chinese cuisine with fusion dishes like Singapore Slaw ($32) and Chilli Crab Cakes ($16). We tried the Sichuan ‘Mala’ Grilled Fish ($70), which had tender chunks of fish seeping in numbing spice broth.
Another dish worth trying is their baos: the flavours lean towards the quirky side, especially with Colonel San Da’s Chicken Bao ($12), which is an adapted version of Colonel Sanders’ finger-lickin’ good fried chicken.

There’s something tempting about restaurants that let you cook your own food, and Mookata, with their tender cuts of meat and charcoal charr, goes beyond expectations. Order the Set ($34.90/2pax) and you’ll get a selection of both seafood and meat. Pork collar, prawns, and streaky bacons are just a few ingredients that feature in the set.
You can also look forward to veggies like Chinese cabbage and kang kong, along with other ingredients like eggs, golden mushrooms, and tofu.
They’re also offering up Thai Style Bak Kuh Teh that comes with rice and Thai Ice Lemon Tea. There’s both a Dry ($7.80) and Soup ($8.80) version, and for those who like a lil’ kick in their soup – there’s a Tom Yum Bak Kuh Teh ($9.80) too.

Over at Porn’s Sexy Thai Food, the food is indeed…sexy, or at least in terms of how attractive the Thai Fish Cake ($9.90) and Tom Yum Soup (from $8.90) look. And if you’re wondering about the questionable name, there’s an entirely wholesome reason – it was founded by TV host Pornsak Prajakwit.
There’s a whole galore of typically Thai dishes, from Green Curry Chicken ($10.90) to Thai Sambal Kang Kong ($8.90).

For classic Japanese fare – that means bento boxes and intricate dishes – head straight down to YAYOI Japanese Restaurant. When it comes down to ordering, you’ll be left indecisive since they’ve got a wide range of Japanese favourites from Saba Shio Teishoku (salt grilled mackerel, $10.90) to Shogayaki Teishoku (stir-fried pork belly, $9.90).
