As far as food discounts go, 1-for-1 deals rank highly on my list. After all, you’re basically getting 50% off your meal. Unfortunately, it’s hard to plan makan sessions around ‘em as a) they’re hard to come by and b) they usually have a very short shelf life.
Enter ShopBack GO.
From now till 31 December 2019, as part of their first Super Season campaign, the app will have hundreds of 1-for-1 deals, for FREE with no strings attached, at popular places including Pasta Supremo and Earlybird—meaning half-priced Wagyu steaks, brunch dishes, and pasta. The best part is they all come with cashback of up to 50% so you can gorge away without feeling sorry for your bank account.
Here are some restaurants you can snag the vouchers at.

The Salted Plum was one of the best restaurants we visited last year, and it’s easy to see why. Their Taiwanese-inspired dishes pack loads of flavour and are reasonably priced to boot. We especially loved the Burnt Chilli Chicken Rice, which comprises short-grain rice blanketed by seared chicken and an onsen egg. Rounding it up is their signature “burnt chilli” for a huge punch of spiciness.
You can get this dish and other mains at 1-for-1 with ShopBack GO. Just note that you need at least two diners to enjoy the deal.

Their unique take on popular brunch food, coupled with nett prices and a homey atmosphere, landed Earlybird a spot on our list of best cafes. Use the 1-for-1 deal on any savoury main to try as many dishes as you can during your next brunch sesh. While the Chicken and Pancakes ($19) and Salmon and Avocado Toast ($22) are amazing in their own right, it’s the Tom Yum Prawn Pasta ($20) which you should spring for.
The al dente pasta soaks up all the rich sauce, providing each bite with a beautiful mix of savoury, sour, and spicy flavours. As our writer puts it, “Fusion pastas are the norm, but this one reigns king.”

It’s not often you find restaurants serving freshly handmade pasta at affordable prices. Pasta Supremo does just that, and even kicks things up a notch by offering eclectic ingredients such as bak kwa jam and blue pea flower-infused pasta. The latter is a main component in the Prawn Olio Olio ($18++). Coupled with shiny tobiko, this dish will light up your IG feed and taste buds with its blend of oceanic and aromatic flavours.
The 1-for-1 deal applies to this and other Haus Pasta items, so if you prefer something more savoury, opt for the Supremo Porky Marinara ($14++) that’s topped with a gigantic meatball.

With both their outlets located in the CBD, Rookery is a haven for office workers looking to recharge after a hard day at work—be it via booze or hearty food. The restaurant-bar is offering 1-for-1 mains, which includes the Pan Roasted Halibut ($25++) served with pumpkin and parsnip puree. Underneath that crispy skin is tender and sweet meat that meshes well with the crunchy braised cabbage.

Good charcoal-grilled food is something you rarely find at hawker centres, much less at affordable prices, especially when they’re whipped up by the former head chef at Camp Kilo. Thankfully, Nsquared Barbecue pulls it off with well-seasoned meats which go as low as $5.50.
For those who wanna savour a wide variety of meats on their platter, use the 1-for-1 deal on their BBQ set ($12.90) to score a mountain of pork belly burnt ends, chicken wings, half-rack ribs, and more. In particular, the burnt ends will captivate you with a beautifully charred crust that encases sweet and tangy meat.

With outlets at prime locations such as NUS and Raffles Quay, Spinelli Coffee has been responsible for perking up many tired Singaporeans.

Build-your-own bowl stalls are a dime a dozen in the CBD. However, HEYBO stands out from the competition with unique toppings including Impossible patties and mala sauce.

Each bowl has a good balance of protein and carbs for a much-needed energy boost. With the 1-for-1 deal on these bowls, you’ll essentially pay hawker prices for restaurant-quality nosh.

Despite their red logo being a popular sight at pasar malams, few people know that Cha Tra Mue has a permanent store at The Star Vista. Besides their signature milk tea, the stall sells an assortment of refreshing desserts such as lattes and BBT. My personal favourite would be their uber creamy Thai Milk Tea Soft Serve ($3.50). With the 1-for-1 deal, you can try out this frozen treat with friends at less than $1.50 per set.

However, you’ll wanna zoom in on their pasta section instead, as that’s what the 1-for-1 deal will cover. Besides the usual suspects such as Carbonara ($18++), they also sell the Lobster Pomodoro ($20++)—a classic spaghetti dish with succulent lobster meat, roasted Pomodoro sauce, and greens.
