December’s finally burst into the scene and in its trail is a slew of great year-end shopping deals just waiting to be grabbed. But before you can even set foot in a shop, the Russian Roulette presents itself: “Is it cheaper to get it here?” or “I didn’t know this brand got promo!”
With Marina Square’s new app, you can finally bid adieu to FOMO on good deals as the app lists every promotion of every store in Marina Square – that’s over 200 promos! We’ve sussed out 8 of the best deals:.
If you’re really hungry and can’t wait till dinner to gorge yourself silly, Astons is here to save your belly – and wallet – with their Irresistible Express Lunch special between 11:30AM to 3PM on weekdays, excluding PH.
Just purchase a main course and you’ll get free flow soft drinks, ice-cream, and Supreme Salad buffet – a surfeit of dishes that’ll knock you up with a food baby.
The main courses available are:
We loved how the Chargrilled Chicken ($12.90) was perfectly seared without being dry. The contrast of textures between the charred skin and the tender meat worked well to bring out the chicken’s savouriness, making this a must-get if you love meat.
Don’t let the word “salad” throw you into thinking that green’s the only colour you’ll see at the spread, as there’s also an assortment of delish sides, like pasta, grilled mushrooms, and onion rings just waiting to be devoured.
If you can’t make it for lunch, fret not as you can still have a go at the buffet any time on a weekday by purchasing the Grilled Salmon Fillet ($24.90)* which has a nice crust and a soft, flaky inside.
Note that the Irresistible Express Lunch has a 1 hour time limit.
*Limited to 20 sets a day.

Embracing the #hypebeast aesthetic usually means shelling out some serious cash but with Herschel’s 1-for-1 packables, bagging those IG likes will be a wallet-friendly deal.
The range includes travel totes ($39) and daypacks ($59), with many designs to choose from.
Unlike Herschel’s regular bags, these packables are lightweight and can be folded into their own pockets, making them convenient to be packed in luggages without taking up space.

Tucked away in a corner of Marina Square lies redpan – a hidden gem of Modern-Singaporean nosh just waiting to be uncovered. The reward that awaits you: a free house drink with every main* purchased.
We tried the Steak & Chinchalok ($25), a hearty ribeye doused in spicy chinchalok (fermented shrimps paste), and loved how every morsel practically melted in our mouths.
The steak was sliced into thick, succulent strips which brought to mind the feeling of eating ribs – especially when dipped into the rich house-made sauce.
To wash down that spiciness, get either the Lemongrass with Gula Melaka ($5) or Roselle Sour Plum Soda ($6) which are both refreshing. We preferred the Lemongrass drink, as its sweetness wasn’t overpowering while still retaining a strong kick.

You don’t have to pay exuberant air fares just for a slice of authentic Hokkaido beef. Head to Tenkaichi and indulge in their 1-for-1 ala carte BBQ meat & seafood because dishes so nice are worth getting twice!
Take your pick from over 30 dishes, like the Wagyu Tongue ($19.90), Sea Bream ($10.90), Prawn ($12.90), which are all prepared by experienced chefs who have spent years in Japan honing their craft – and it shows.
Even though the wagyu tongue slices are thin, the fatty juices oozing out from them will send you into an ecstasy. And you can practically taste the ocean, given how fresh the seafood is.

You can choose 4 free toppings to go with this swirly goodness, all of which are handcrafted from scratch. Opt for the matcha crumble, Ferrero brittle sauce, and lavender macarons using real lavender flowers if you wanna try unique flavours that taste great as well.
