profileJustin Oh

If there’s one thing that unites Singaporeans like no other…

It’s… FOOD!

Better still if it’s a buffet. And with Valentine’s Day coming up, this is the time to enjoy a meal with your partner!

Even better if there’s a 1-for-1 buffet promotion to be had.

I mean, you’ve got to be able to enjoy life once in a while, right?

TL;DR: 1-For-1 Buffet Promotions

Before you run out to the nearest restaurant to enjoy your 1-for-1 buffet promotion, here are a few things you should do first:

  1. Always check with the banks’ websites for the terms and conditions, as these 1-for-1 deals can be changed anytime
  2. When making reservations, remember to quote the bank and credit card to enjoy the 1-for-1 deal (specific promos might be capped at a certain number of patrons per day or per seating)
  3. Make sure you pay your bill using the correct card to enjoy the 1-for-1 buffet credit card promotion

Here it is… your personal guide to the best 1-for-1 buffet dining promotions:


1-for-1 Buffet by Cuisine

When it comes to buffets, drilling down on the cuisine matters.

It affects your starters, mains and finally, desserts. In this article, we have picked out three popular cuisines among Singaporeans.

International Buffet

If you ask me, international buffets are the epitomes of buffets.

Indulge in a global culinary journey where various flavours from around the world await. From savoury Italian pasta to aromatic Indian curries, succulent American BBQ, to delicate Asian stir-fries, every dish seems to have a country representation.

With a diverse selection that caters to all preferences, this type of buffet satisfies every craving.

Prices start from $50++ on weekdays and go up to $100++ per pax on weekdays.

Seafood Buffet

Imagine freshly-caught delights, from plump shrimp and briny oysters to tender crab legs and succulent lobster tails…

Most seafood buffet serves an array of delectable sauces and condiments that bring out the unique flavour of the ocean catch.

Seafood buffets typically cost about $120 – $150++ per pax.

Japanese Buffet

Japanese cuisine has long been associated with artistry and elegance, and this should be what you will get when heading to a Japanese buffet.

Besides classics like sushi and sashimi, there are other Japanese classics like teriyaki, tempura, side dishes, and contemporary creations.

Japanese buffet starts from $30++, depending on where you’re headed.
