February has arrived and love is in the air. For those with a resident bae by your side, Valentine’s Day is full of expectations for both parties. Doesn’t matter if you’re that hipster couple who frowns upon the holiday – we all secretly love it. But this may also mean spending a truckload on a romantic meal to complete the whole experience.
Beating the V-Day crowd is hard but the worst part is having to part with your ‘hard-earned’ ang pao money when it comes to settling the bill. When you’re stuck in a dilemma between pleasing bae and saving money, a solution is always welcome. So fret not, for we’re here to offer it with 10 eateries that offer massive discounts this February with your DBS/POSB card:

For those curious about its unique name, Arteastiq is a portmanteau (fancy term for word rojak) of art and tea. Mainly because this boutique house is insta-famous for their gourmet high tea sets and art jam studio for those wanting to put their creativity to work.
If you and your significant other are the artsy fartsy kind, then indulge in their Valentine’s Day menu with a full 15% off whilst painting introspective Picasso portraits of each other to bring home. After all, love is an art that consistently needs perfecting.

Clink your champagne glasses against the backdrop of Sentosa Cove’s stunning sea view that might almost trick you into thinking you’re on a tropical vacay. While Museo’s perks might have you fearing the state of your wallet post-bill, simply use your DBS/POSB card to be entitled to 15% off their Valentine’s Day Menu.
Now you can enjoy that golden sunset without the added worry.

We’ve seen this fad all over our Facebook news feeds or watched the Buzzfeed clips of it – dining in the dark. And if the both of you are always up for a new experience, a dinner at NOX would be just that. Experts say that eating in complete darkness enhances our senses to provide for a more intense taste-gasm.
At NOX, diners are also guided and served by the visually impaired who are there to offer guidance to those who may not be used to the whole experience. It may be the blind leading the blind, but definitely on to a memorable meal. In addition, NOX is treating you to a free bottle of sparkling wine for 4 diners or more, if you’re more of a welcoming couple always up for double or triple dates.
