If you weren’t already aware, there is a free-to-enter space beside Bird Paradise that’s chock full of dining options, animal-themed playgrounds, aesthetic photo spots, and even an eco-friendly grocery store. It’s called Mandai Wildlife WEST.
Whether you’re looking for a spot to fuel up before or after your Bird Paradise visit, or just want to have a day out filled with lush nature and vitamin D, you’ll be even more incentivised to head there with the slew of Mandai Wildlife WEST promos available.
Mandai Wildlife WEST is home to many eateries, ranging from familiar favourites like Old Chang Kee, A&W, Han’s Union and Collin’s to exotic options like Pavilion Banana Leaf for South Indian fare, and a 3-in-1 cafe serving goodies from Luke’s Lobster, Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, and Leckerbaer Danish pastries.
Even the classics have special Mandai Wildlife WEST-exclusives that you won’t find elsewhere. For instance, Old Chang Kee (#02-04)’s beloved twist-and-share curry chicken bread bowl sees a cute animal twist here – in the form of Bearee Flower Bread With Curry Chicken ($16.90).
The hearty treat serves 2-3 pax, and there’s now a promo where every purchase of it also comes with 2 Mushroom Chicken’O puffs (U.P. $2.30 each) on the house.

Over at Collin’s (#02-10), there is an entire menu of Mandai exclusives including plant-based options and dishes made with sustainably sourced ingredients. Dig in to some meatless nuggets from The Vegetarian Butcher, or tuck into sustainable meat concoctions spanning sous vide chicken breast to charcoal-grilled lamb shoulder.
Take advantage of their 1-for-1 beer promo and wash your meal down with your choice of Hoegaarden or Stella Artois, available at $8 for 2 half-pint glasses. Feel free to mix and match to get the best of both worlds! Take note that this deal is available for dine-in customers only, Monday to Friday from now till 31st March 2024.
If you love the sound of 2 beers for the price of 1, you can also hop over to Luke’s Lobster (#02-08). They’re offering 1-for-1 pints for Draft Lion Beer (U.P. $12 each), available daily from 6pm till closing. Food wise, they have a kids eat free deal for every 2 paying adults.
Simply order any 2 dishes from their selection of seafood rolls and sandwiches (from $10.50 each), and your little one will get to enjoy a yummy treat of grilled cheese sandwiches plus tomato soup.
The freebies don’t stop there. A&W (#02-01) has a free root beer float (U.P. $4.90) in store for you when you purchase a waffle ice cream set ($10.80) with toppings. Not really feeling plain ol’ waffles? The A&W at Mandai Wildlife WEST has an outlet-exclusive of aromatic pandan waffles. Dig into it with coconut ice cream and your choice of chocolate fudge, strawberry sauce, or gula melaka drizzled on top.
For a complete meal, A&W also has a 50% discount on ala carte coney dogs (U.P. $6.50) for every coney dog combo ($11.40) purchased. You can choose from chicken or beef sauce, and the combo comes with curly fries and a refreshing root beer. These promos are available every Monday to Friday, between 6pm-8pm.
Dining deals aren’t the only way you can save money when you visit Mandai Wildlife WEST.
UnPackt (#02-09) is a zero-waste grocery store that makes it incredibly easy to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle. It’s got everything you need to lessen your carbon footprint: snacks without single-use packaging, bulk toiletry refills, and various tools and accessories that are either reusable or biodegradable.
Spending a minimum of $10 here (excluding fresh produce) will nab you a free serving of housemade dark chocolate sea salt granola (U.P. $5). Use it to whip up your own wholesome treats like overnight oats and smoothie bowls, or nibble on it for a quick and tasty snack.
