What to book first

If you only act on one thing this week, make it Kei Kaisendon — the 1-for-1 runs only Fridays to Sundays and only at the rotating outlet of the week, so there are just three weekends left: Woods Square (31 Jul–2 Aug), The LinQ (14–16 Aug) and Jewel (21–23 Aug). Miss your nearest branch's slot and that's it till next year. After that, book Seasonal Tastes for a proper sit-down treat — it needs an advance reservation under the card promotion, and August fills up around National Day.

> Ended 31 July: the DBS/POSB 1-for-1 buffets at Crossroads (Marriott Tang Plaza) and Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria have finished their run and have not been extended. We've replaced them above with the Seasonal Tastes 1-for-1, which is live through August.

Kei Kaisendon — 1-for-1 Sashimi Don Bowls, Fri–Sun (Till 23 Aug)

Kei Kaisendon — 1-for-1 Sashimi Don Bowls, Fri–Sun (Till 23 Aug)

The standout value deal right now: Kei Kaisendon is celebrating its 9th anniversary with a 1-for-1 promotion running till 23 August 2026. Two things to get right before you go — it runs **Fridays to Sundays only**, and it **rotates between outlets each weekend** rather than running at all 12 stores at once, so check which branches are live that week before heading down (the National Day weekend is excluded). The remaining August weekends are **Woods Square (31 Jul–2 Aug), The LinQ (14–16 Aug) and Jewel (21–23 Aug)**. Nine don bowls are included; buy one and get another of equal or lower value free, so the entry Signature Kaisendon ($14.90++ for the small bowl) works out to roughly $7.45++ each — excellent for fresh sashimi over rice. It's takeaway only, so plan to bring it home or to the office. Full details, including the outlet rotation →

Surrey Hills Grocer — 'Dinner Club': Order 2 Mains, Get 2 Free (Sun–Thu)

Surrey Hills Grocer — 'Dinner Club': Order 2 Mains, Get 2 Free (Sun–Thu)

Australian-inspired all-day diner Surrey Hills Grocer runs 'The Dinner Club' across all 5 outlets every Sunday to Thursday from 6pm: it's a 2-for-2 (also 3-for-3 and 4-for-4) deal — order 2, 3 or 4 selected mains and you get the same number free, so you double up on your fav mains. It's a great sit-down option for a group on a weeknight (a generous, relaxed dinner without the weekend prices). Selected mains only, so check the participating dishes, and confirm outlets and timing on their website before heading down.

Seasonal Tastes @ The Westin — 1-for-1 Dinner Buffet on 8 Card Issuers (Till 31 Aug)

For a treat-yourself meal, the Seasonal Tastes pop-up at Cook & Brew (Level 33, The Westin Singapore, Asia Square Tower 2) runs a 1-for-1 dinner buffet till **31 August 2026** — and it takes an unusually wide spread of cards: DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, Citibank, Maybank, Bank of China and JCB. The weekday semi-buffet (Mon–Fri, 6pm–10:30pm) is $98++ per adult, so 1-for-1 works out to about $49++ each; the weekend and public-holiday buffet is $108++, or roughly $54++ per pax. Free-flow soft drinks, coffee and tea are included, and it's a Level 33 room with the view to match. Advance reservations are required (say you're on the 1-for-1 card promotion when you book), it's for adults 13 and up, and there's a cap of 10 diners per booking. The '++' means service charge and GST apply, so budget above the headline — and check your own issuer's blackout dates, which vary by bank.

KFC — $6.50 Monday Meal Deals (Via the KFC App)

KFC — $6.50 Monday Meal Deals (Via the KFC App)

Beat the Monday blues: KFC Singapore is running weekly Monday meal deals at $6.50, redeemable through the KFC App. It's a reliable, recurring value lunch or dinner to start the week — and because it's app-based, you'll want the KFC App installed and your deal loaded before you order. Check the app each Monday for the exact set on offer, as the featured meal can change.

YAYOI — $5 Off With No Minimum Spend (1 Jul–31 Aug)

Japanese teishoku chain YAYOI is running a simple $5 off with no minimum spend from 1 July to 31 August 2026 — which knocks a real chunk off even a solo set-meal lunch. Redemption is about as easy as it gets: flash the promo post in store and the discount comes off on the spot, valid on dine-in or takeaway. Teishoku sets come with rice, miso soup and sides, so it's a proper meal rather than a snack. Selected outlets only — check the participating branches before you go.

Beast & Butterflies — All-You-Can-Scoop Tiramisu $9.90++ (Fridays From 6pm)

Not a 1-for-1 but arguably better: order any main dish at Beast & Butterflies (M Social, Robertson Quay) on a Friday from 6pm and $9.90++ per pax unlocks all-you-can-scoop tiramisu, served scoop by scoop until you surrender. Given a single tiramisu slice runs $8–12 at most cafés, free-flow at $9.90++ is one of the cheapest dessert buffets in town. Riverside seats, ~5 min from Havelock MRT — book on Friday nights.

McDonald's — App-Exclusive Deals, Currently 20% Off Chicken McCrispy (Till 2 Aug)

The reliable value fix: McDonald's runs app-exclusive deals that refresh every few days, so the specific offer changes but the habit pays off. Live right now is **20% off Chicken McCrispy (6pc)** — usual price from $19.65, down to roughly $15.70 — redeemable daily from **6pm to 3:45am till 2 August 2026**, in Signature, Spicy or Mix. It's one redemption per customer, no customisations, while stocks last, and a handful of outlets are excluded (the Shell kiosks at Tampines, Hougang and Havelock, plus Clementi Ave 3, Parklane and Tampines Kiosk). You'll need a McDonald's app account and the voucher selected before you order. Because the line-up rotates, it's worth opening the app before any McDonald's run rather than paying menu price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best-value 1-for-1 dining deal in Singapore right now?

For sheer value and how long it lasts, Kei Kaisendon's 1-for-1 sashimi don bowls are hard to beat — the deal runs till 23 August 2026, and at 1-for-1 the entry Signature Kaisendon works out to around $7.45++ a bowl (note: takeaway only, Fridays to Sundays, at rotating outlets). If you prefer a sit-down dinner, Surrey Hills Grocer's 2-for-2 'Dinner Club' on selected mains (Sundays to Thursdays from 6pm, all 5 outlets) is great for groups. For a splurge, the 1-for-1 dinner buffet at Seasonal Tastes (Cook & Brew, The Westin Singapore) runs till 31 August at about $49++ per pax on weekdays. Always confirm participating outlets, timings and terms on each brand's official channels, as deals can change.

Do these deals need an app, a card or a coupon?

It varies by brand. KFC's $6.50 Monday deals and McDonald's rotating offers are redeemed through each chain's app, so have them installed with the deal selected before you order. The Seasonal Tastes 1-for-1 buffet is card-linked — you'll need an eligible DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, Citibank, Maybank, Bank of China or JCB card, plus an advance reservation made under the promotion. YAYOI's $5-off just needs you to flash the promo post in store. Beast & Butterflies' tiramisu free-flow requires you to order a main dish, dine-in on a Friday from 6pm. Kei Kaisendon and Surrey Hills Grocer are straightforward in-store deals. When in doubt, ask staff at the outlet how to redeem.

Which of these deals are still running in August 2026?

Most of the list runs into August. Dated deals: Kei Kaisendon's 1-for-1 don bowls till 23 August (Fridays to Sundays, remaining weekends at Woods Square 31 Jul–2 Aug, The LinQ 14–16 Aug and Jewel 21–23 Aug, National Day weekend excluded), the Seasonal Tastes 1-for-1 dinner buffet till 31 August, and YAYOI's $5 off with no minimum spend till 31 August. The rest are recurring rather than dated — KFC's $6.50 Monday deals, Beast & Butterflies' tiramisu Fridays and Surrey Hills Grocer's Sun–Thu Dinner Club run week to week, and McDonald's app deals refresh every few days. One thing that has ended: the DBS/POSB 1-for-1 buffets at Crossroads (Marriott Tang Plaza) and Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria closed on 31 July 2026 and have not been extended. We re-check this list through the month, so the dates above reflect the latest update.

Where can I find 1-for-1 buffet deals specifically?

This list is broader than buffets — it covers 1-for-1 bowls, 2-for-2 mains, app deals and discounts, so it's aimed at everyday cheap eats rather than a big spread. If a buffet is what you're after, our dedicated round-ups go much deeper: [Best 1-for-1 Dining Deals in Singapore (July 2026)](/article/best-1-for-1-dining-deals-singapore-july-2026) covers the card-linked and restaurant 1-for-1s currently live, and [Best 1-for-1 Buffet Deals in Singapore (August 2026)](/article/best-1-for-1-buffet-deals-singapore-august-2026) focuses on hotel and specialty buffets with per-pax prices. Both are updated more frequently than this page for buffet-specific promos.
