It’s September, and we know what that means: cue that now-stale joke about being woken up only when the month ends, a la Green Day. Ha ha, very funny. But those keeping their eyes peeled will be the ones having the last laugh, because there are a couple of great money-saving promos you’ll want to snag before the month zooms by – from $8 Bath and Body Works fragrances to free pancake batter at DIY pancake joint Slappy Cakes.
Having a comfortable pair of kicks is important because inadequate support and bad cutting will give you foot problems and nasty blisters. If your go-to shoes are falling apart, save your soles with some spanking new ones at Star 360’s warehouse sale. Up for grabs will be trendy sneakers from brands like Adidas, Birkenstock, Dr Martens, and more at up to 80% off.

Fancy a mountainous feast? Fujisoba is now offering their 6-course Mount Fuji Icy Hot Pot Party Set at $49.80 per person, down from $65. An ice hotpot might sound like an oxymoron, but how this works is that the seafood and chicken broth is frozen into ice overnight for optimum freshness – and later on heated up into a bubbling broth, revealing ingredients like snow crab and shrimp beneath.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg – pun unintended. Other courses in your meal will include an appetiser set with soba, sashimi, and shredded yam, as well as Matcha Warabi Mochi with Caramel Sauce as your dessert.

It pays to pig out at casual Japanese restaurant Watami’s Causeway Point outlet this month, because you’ll be getting a free Tonpeiyaki (U.P. $9.90) with every $30 spent there. For those who haven’t heard of this dish, it’s basically an omelette with cabbage and pork, topped with bonito flakes – pretty similar to okonomiyaki.
Simply “like” Watami’s Facebook page, and flash this post to their staff to claim it.

Mid-Autumn festival is around the corner, and you know what that means: time to impress your mother-in-law with some decadent mooncakes. Gim Tim is a good choice, and even Eleanor Young would probably approve of their traditional and crispy mooncakes – just don’t tell her that you got the 2nd box at half price.
Yep, for every Early Bird pre-order before 6 September, you’ll get to enjoy a 50% discount off your second box of mooncakes. Let’s say you get 2 boxes of classic White Lotus Paste mooncakes (U.P. from $42/4pieces) – this will add up to just $63 for 8, or less than $8 per piece.
Other flavours to try include Crispy Yam Paste with Single Yolk (U.P. $50/4 pieces) and Classic Assorted Nuts (U.P. $50/4pieces).
