Image adapted from: Kushikatsu Tanaka SG
The best part of the mid-year period is the Great Singapore Sale. While many stores are reaching the end of their sales seasons as we almost unknowingly ease into the second half of 2018, there are still a good handful of promotions still up and running. From 1-for-1 manicures to 12-for-$12 Krispy Kreme donuts, here are the best lobangs to go crazy for this month.
1. 1-for-1 Korean seafood noodles at Nipong Naepong
The Ro Ppong-Roje ($17.80), with tomato cream sauce

Nipong Naepong is having a 1-for-1 Ppong deal at their newest 313@Somerset outlet. Prices start from about $15.80, which means you could be paying less than $8 for a satisfying bowl of noodles.
The dry-style Tae Ppong ($15.80) with mussels, squid, and tobiko

You’d probably have walked past a T2 Tea outlet and seen their huge wall of tea cubes – and generous jugs of free tea samples – by now. This GSS season, they’re having a buy 2 get 1 free promotion for all teas both in-store and online, so stock up your pantry with their interesting flavours like Chocolate Oolong, Coco Calypso, and Mangoes and Cream.
Each tea cube starts from around $16, which means you’ll get each box from less than $11 with the sale.
