Din Tai Fung put a four-month card offer on its own site on 1 September 2026, and it is one of the few restaurant freebies here that runs long enough to plan around rather than chase. The Weekday Treat gives OCBC credit and debit cardmembers a complimentary Original Hot & Sour Soup in the small size, which the brand's own poster values at $9.50, once the bill clears a minimum spend of $80.
> Quick view: free small Original Hot & Sour Soup (worth $9.50) on a $80 minimum spend, 1 Sep to 31 Dec 2026, OCBC credit or debit card, weekdays only, dine-in only, orders placed 11am to 2pm or 4.30pm to 6pm, while servings last. The $80 and the $9.50 are both before GST and service charge, so the real bar is about $95.92 at the till.
The offer, exactly as the poster prints it
| Reward | Original Hot & Sour Soup, small, stated worth $9.50 |
| Minimum spend | $80 |
| Run | 1 Sep to 31 Dec 2026 |
| Days | Weekdays only, and not on the eve of a public holiday, a public holiday, or a public-holiday-in-lieu |
| Times | Orders placed 11.00am to 2.00pm or 4.30pm to 6.00pm |
| Channel | Dine-in only |
| Payment | Must be made with a valid OCBC credit or debit card |
| Where | Din Tai Fung Singapore restaurants |
| Also | While servings last. Prices may vary across restaurants. Not applicable with other promotions, discounts, vouchers, offers and/or privileges unless otherwise stated |
It sits under TASTE by OCBC Cards, the programme badge that appears in the corner of the poster.
The line that changes the arithmetic
The terms carry a sentence that most reposts drop: all prices and amounts stated are before GST and service charge. That applies to both numbers, and once you put them back you get a very different picture of the deal.
At Din Tai Fung's usual 10% service charge and Singapore's 9% GST:
- $80 before tax is $95.92 on the receipt. That, not $80, is the bar you have to clear.
- $9.50 of soup is $11.39 of value once the same service charge and GST come off it.
So the offer is worth 11.9% of the bill, and it stays 11.9% however you compute it, because the minimum and the reward are quoted on the same pre-tax basis. That is a perfectly respectable number for a restaurant that discounts almost nothing, but it is not "a free $9.50 soup" on a $80 bill.
What it means at the table. Two adults ordering xiao long bao, a noodle dish, a vegetable and drinks will pass $80 before tax without trying, and for them the soup is free money. A pair spending around $60 is in a worse position: adding another $20 of food before tax costs about $23.98 more at the register to claim $11.39, so topping up to reach the minimum loses you roughly $12.59. The rule of thumb is that this offer rewards a bill you were already going to run up, and punishes one you inflate to qualify.
The time window is the real catch
The poster gives two windows, 11.00am to 2.00pm and 4.30pm to 6.00pm, and the order has to be placed inside one of them. Read the second one carefully: it shuts at 6pm. This is an early dinner, not a dinner. A table booked for 7pm or 7.30pm, which is when most families actually eat, qualifies for nothing.
It is also weekdays only and dine-in only, so weekends, takeaway and delivery are all out.
The three weekdays you cannot use
Because the offer is void on the eve of a public holiday, on a public holiday and on a public-holiday-in-lieu, three weekdays disappear from the rest of the run:
- Monday 9 November 2026, the in-lieu holiday for Deepavali. Deepavali itself falls on Sunday 8 November, and its eve is a Saturday, so those two were weekend days you could not have used anyway.
- Thursday 24 December 2026, Christmas Eve, as the eve of a public holiday.
- Friday 25 December 2026, Christmas Day.
That still leaves 83 usable weekdays between today and 31 December, out of 85 across the full campaign. There is no reason to rush this one.
The one stack Din Tai Fung has confirmed
The soup poster's blanket line is that the promotion is not applicable with other promotions, discounts, vouchers, offers and/or privileges unless otherwise stated. Din Tai Fung has otherwise stated exactly once, and it is on a different poster.
A Crispy Comeback, running 1 September to 31 October 2026, brings back the Noodle with Crispy Wanton in Spicy Sauce at $15.30 with 10% off for OCBC cardmembers (crispy wanton served separately, dine-in only, while servings last). Its terms say the 10% can be combined with the OCBC year-long complimentary dish offer on a minimum spend of $80, which is the soup offer described in the brand's own words.
So that noodle is the dish to order on a Weekday Treat visit. The 10% takes it from about $18.34 to about $16.51 at the till, a saving of $1.83, and the dish still counts towards the $80.
Where you can use it, and the one restaurant you cannot
The offer is valid at Din Tai Fung Singapore restaurants. The brand's own contact page lists 31 of them, but that same page flags JEM as temporarily closed for renovation, so 30 are actually trading during this promotion.
The newest is ION Orchard #B4-03, Din Tai Fung's 31st Singapore restaurant, which opened at the end of August 2026 and carries two dishes you will not find elsewhere: Shrimp & Pork Wantons in Spicy Sauce and Noodle with Shrimp & Pork Wantons in Peanut Sesame Sauce. That restaurant also runs its own gift-with-purchase, a limited-edition Bao Zai Pouch free on a minimum spend of $80 (also before GST and service charge) while redemptions last. Note that this is a different offer on the same threshold, and Din Tai Fung has not named it as combinable with the soup, so do not assume you can walk out with both on one bill. Ask before you order.
Getting it right
- Go on a weekday, and be seated early enough that the order goes in before 2pm or before 6pm.
- Pay with an OCBC credit or debit card. This is a card offer, so cash or another bank's card gets you nothing.
- Aim past $80 before GST and service charge, not $80 on the receipt. If your bill shows about $95.92 or more, you are clear.
- If it is on or before 31 October, order the Noodle with Crispy Wanton in Spicy Sauce and ask for the 10% as well. It is the one combination Din Tai Fung has confirmed in writing.
- Skip 9 November, 24 December and 25 December.
