Some people enjoy the refreshing and natural taste of seafood on ice, while others prefer hot seafood drenched in a flavourful sauce. If you’re leaning towards the latter, you might want to drop by The Boiler which is known for their freshly boiled seafood bag combos.

The Duo Plus ($89) combo has a flavourful mix of mud crab, prawns, mussels, and clams – a good option for sharing between 2 people. But if you really want to splurge, the Bombdiggity Bag ($179), which trades the mud crab for either their specialty seasonal crab or Dungeness crab, would be the perfect choice.

There are many ways to usher in the Year of the Rabbit, and one of them is to have a grand feast during the reunion dinner. And while it’s culturally significant, the accompanying price tag of holding such a large gathering can be significant as well.
Fortunately, POSB Everyday Cardmembers can earn 3% rebates when they dine out at restaurants, make reservations through Chope, or order through Oddle Eats. 10% cash rebates are also available for food delivery services like foodpanda, Deliveroo, and WhyQ – if you order in to avoid the crowds or having to wash plates afterwards.
For the old-school families that cook dinner every year or have steamboat parties at home, there are perks for you as well, like 7% cash rebates at Sheng Siong and 5% cash rebates from RedMart for groceries. There’s even a 5% cash rebates on utilities as well, so you can save on water and electrical bills during this CNY season when you’re hosting large gatherings.
With a full suite of stackable discounts and offers, you can hold a lavish dinner with family and friends while earning some cash rebates. This means you won’t have to worry about handing out angbaos and paying for an extravagant dinner at the same time.
To unlock more savings and promos for the year ahead, make sure to sign up for a POSB Everyday Card if you haven’t already, and get up to $150 cashback. Refer to the POSB Everyday Card terms and conditions for full details.
