Racines (Sofitel City Centre) 1-for-1 Saturday Buffet Brunch — Effectively $64++/pax via Bank Cards (Till 20 Jun 2026)

THE DEAL: Racines' Ultimate Buffet Brunch is normally $128++ per adult. With the promotion, cardmembers of DBS, OCBC, Citi, JCB, and Maybank get 1-FOR-1 on the adult price — for up to 8 persons — valid till 20 June 2026. HOW THE MATH WORKS: 1-for-1 means you pay for one adult and the second adult is free, so a pair pays $128++ total = effectively ~$64++ per person (before the ++ service charge + GST, which apply on top). For a group, every PAIR triggers the deal up to the 8-pax cap, so go in even numbers (2, 4, 6, or 8) to maximise it — an odd person out pays full price. KEY CONDITIONS to confirm when booking: (1) your specific card is eligible (the deal is tied to those 5 banks — check whether all card types under each bank qualify, as some promos exclude certain card tiers); (2) the up-to-8-pax limit per booking/card; (3) whether you need to pre-book + quote the promotion, and if the payment must be made on the eligible card; (4) the deal applies to the ADULT price (children are separately priced at $64++). The 1-for-1 ends 20 June 2026, so it only covers the Saturdays up to then. Always reconfirm card eligibility + the latest terms directly with Racines / your bank, as card promotions change.

WHAT'S ON THE SPREAD: Racines' Ultimate Buffet Brunch leans premium-meets-local. Expect freshly-shucked OYSTERS, SASHIMI, artisanal CHEESES, and a live-carving station with ROASTED SUCKLING PIG, alongside Racines' locally-inspired signatures — SINGAPORE CHILLI PRAWNS, ROASTED DANG GUI DUCK, and the NYONYA ASSAM CURRY FISH the restaurant is known for. It's a Saturday spread designed to span both the indulgent (raw bar, carving) and the comforting (local hot dishes). HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE 12:30–3PM WINDOW: (1) ARRIVE AT 12:30 — you get the full 2.5 hours and the freshest first round at the oyster + sashimi stations before they get busy. (2) GO HUNGRY — skip breakfast. (3) PRIORITISE THE HIGH-VALUE ITEMS FIRST — oysters, sashimi, and the carving-station suckling pig are where the $128++ value sits; don't fill up on bread/rice early. (4) PACE YOURSELF across the 2.5 hours rather than overloading one plate. (5) SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT — hotel brunch dessert spreads are usually strong. (6) For the 1-for-1, GO IN EVEN NUMBERS so every pair is covered. SETTING: it's a hotel fine-dining buffet at Sofitel City Centre (Level 5, 9 Wallich Street, above Tanjong Pagar MRT / Guoco Tower) — smart-casual is the safe call.
