The Entertainer’s most value-for-money deals
Food and my bank account are mortal enemies. As much as my wallet protests, I can’t resist restaurants that serve #foodporn dishes featuring the likes of gooey, stretchy cheese, sizzling meats, and decadent desserts. But each time I visit these places, I leave feeling a little guilty.
This year, the guilt has faded and I managed to check quite a few restaurants off my list of places to visit thanks to The Entertainer, which is a smartphone app that offers one-for-one deals at partner restaurants, bars and other entertainment facilities. The aunty in me says I need to make the most out of my subscription fee, so here are the one-for-one deals that let users – including me and you – make the most out of their money.
1. Senso Ristorante & Bar
As if one-for-one deals on mains aren’t attractive enough, some restaurants on the app offer one-for-one entry to buffets. Senso Ristorante & Bar does this for their Sunday Prosecco Brunch ($99++ with free flow Prosecco, wine, beer, soft drink, coffee and tea). You can look forward to a spread of seafood including smoked salmon and fresh oysters, as well as Italian classics such as cheeses and pasta.

2. Fat Cow
Wagyu in itself is a premium beef, and Fat Cow takes the premium label further with wagyu sourced from prefectures in Japan and Australia. Savour the different tastes of wagyu from various regions of Japan, such as Ohmi Ribeye ($138++ for 150g, $270++ for 300g) with its distinctly viscous fat, and Miyazaki Striplon ($148++ for 150g, $290++ for 300g) for its tender meat. You can choose to have your meats prepared in the style of shabu shabu, sumibiyaki, hobayaki, or sukiyaki.

3. Bedrock Bar & Grill
Bedrock Bar & Grill should be on any steak lover’s bucket list. It’s hard to go wrong with any option on the menu, but Bedrock Pepper Steak ($89++ for 300g NY steak) stands out. It uses cap of ribeye, a rare and prized cut, giving the steak the flavour of ribeye combined with the succulence of a tenderloin cut. Another favourite is USDA Prime Dry-Aged Beef Ribeye ($99++ for 300g) for its rich flavour and juicy bite.Â

4. Museo
They say artists are most inspired when they have a canvas in front of them and a cup of tea on the side, but Museo is changing the game by fuelling art jammers with fine-dining food presented in a cup. Have Soft Shell Chilli Crab ($14++), Pan-seared Foie Gras ($16++), or a sweet treat such as Frozen Pistachio Nougat in Chocolate Ball ($17++) to go along with an Art Jam Session ($38++, or $20++ with minimum spending of $40 on food and beverage).
For a more substantial meal, Museo also serves full-sized entrees including Two Way Lobster ($39++). It has a creamy mixture of lobster meat, egg yolks, and brandy stuffed into a lobster shell along with seafood otah.

Open Farm Community is a beautiful restaurant set in a greenhouse and surrounded by lush greenery, making it a go-to for family gatherings and romantic dates.
