To brighten up the months of June and July and save us from a depleting bank account, here is a mix of 12 restaurants that are giving you 50% discount off your 2nd main from now till 25 June 2018 – thanks to the DBS Lifestyle App.
P.S.: Read on to find out how to score your dining coupons and make your booking.
