With GSS and National Day promos having come and gone, September is a bit of a lull period for dining deals save for some Mid-Autumn mooncakes. Luckily for Maybank Cardmembers, there’ll be exclusive 1-for-1 deals lasting throughout the month, involving the likes of Japanese buffets and Australian outback-style grills. Bookmark this list and grab your makan kaki, as these seven restaurants will be offering value-for-money 1-for-1 deals from now until 30 September 2019.
Barossa is the name and hearty outback-style meat is the game. The Aussie-inspired bar-cum-restaurant is situated just outside Esplanade Mall, granting diners an unrivalled view of the vicinity no matter what time of day. Their 1-for-1 promo is valid on mains including burgers, meat platters, and more.
Sitting pretty is the Wild Wild West Burger ($24++), a simple chargrilled beef burger elevated with crisp bacon, juicy beetroot, house-made cheese sauce and a sunny side-up oozing with golden runny yolk.
If you’re in a group, the Barossa Meat Platter ($89++) cannot be beat, with its variety of cuts and portion sizes. Served on a wooden board are a grass-fed Australia Warrnambool rib-eye steak, barbecue ribs, chicken leg confit, and chorizo sausage, each substantial enough to make up its own individual portion.

Vineyard at HortPark had me at hello with its beautiful garden-like entrance, and interior adorned with potted plants hanging from the ceiling. If being one with nature is your kind of thing, the alfresco dining area might interest you with their wood accent tables and chairs.
With Maybank’s 1-for-1 promotion on all mains, you’ll feel you’ve had value for money at Vineyard. Start off with a Warm Truffle Shoyu Mushroom Spinach Salad ($17++) that’s lavished with an earthy aroma. The Grilled Iberico Pork Chop ($26++) features a bed of roasted vegetables and a 250g bone-in pork chop that’s juicy at every bite. For a filling meal, order their Signature Farmed Poulet ($28++). The plump chicken is brined till tender with a citrus-flavoured herb, then completed with a creamy mushroom ragout.
