If you live in Singapore and you’re not using the ENTERTAINER properly… you’re leaving money on the table.
And in a city where a casual dinner can easily hit $150–$200 for two, that adds up fast.
I’ve been scrolling through the latest additions on the ENTERTAINER for March, and there are some genuinely good new spots, both in Singapore and, excitedly enough, across the border in JB, that are perfect whether you’re doing date nights, coffee catch-ups, or planning a weekend escape.
Here’s what’s new, what I’d actually order, and how this fits into a smart “live well but spend intentionally” plan.

SINGAPORE – New Spots Worth Using
LEILA
Middle Eastern food done properly.
Think grilled meats, vibrant mezze, fresh herbs, smoky dips. If you’re going, I’d order:
- A spread of mezze to share
- Grilled skewers
- One of their signature mains
With a 1-for-1 style offer, this is easily a $25–$30 saving on a dinner for two.
This is exactly the type of place where the ENTERTAINER turns “we probably shouldn’t” into “why not?”

STYXX
Great for after-work drinks or a casual night out.
Expect elevated bar bites, cocktails, and a good social vibe. If you’re doing 1-for-1 mains or drinks, you’re effectively cutting your bill in half, which makes spontaneous plans much less financially painful.

TOMORO COFFEE
This one is great for my coffee lovers! If you’re working remotely, doing client meetings, or just living your best café life, we all know that coffee savings add up fast in Singapore.
Two lattes easily = $14+. With 1-for-1? That’s proper weekly savings without changing your lifestyle.

BURMA SOCIAL (SIGLAP)
Check out Burma Social for Burmese food; genuinely one of the more interesting cuisines in Singapore’s dining scene right now.
Order:
• Tea leaf salad
• Curries
• Sharing plates
If you live in the East (or want an excuse to head there), this is a strong one to use the app on. And as an Eastie and a Foodie myself, this is one of the places worth checking out!
APT (A Place To…)
Coffee by day, cocktails by night, which basically means two opportunities to save.
I love multi-use venues like this because you can justify the membership across different occasions, brunch, work catch-ups, or evening drinks. For someone like me, who needs to attend client events, business meetings and networking, I love utilising the app for multi-function venues like this.

BASQ & BEAN
Basque cheesecake lovers…this is your sign.
Dessert spots are underrated on the ENTERTAINER. A 1-for-1 cake and coffee situation? Yes please.
TIGRESS Premium Billiard Club
This one’s fun, and something genuinely a bit different from a lot of the offering I normally use on the ENTERTAINER.
Pool, food, drinks and offers available there too.
Perfect for:
• Date nights that aren’t just dinner
• Group socials
• Something different without paying full Singapore prices
Experiential savings > just food savings.
JB – Stack the Savings on a Weekend Escape
If you’re already heading to Johor Bahru for groceries, salons, or just a breather from Singapore prices, it makes sense to layer your savings properly. There are some genuinely good additions on the ENTERTAINER across the border right now. SIBLINGS GELATO is perfect for a post-dinner dessert stop (because let’s be honest, you’re getting dessert), while SUNDAY MORNING COFFEE SHOP and THE REPLACEMENT are ideal for slow, aesthetic brunches that feel like a mini reset. If you’re after something more substantial, FLAME & FERN, KYUDON, and FIREPITZ cover everything from Western grills to Japanese comfort bowls and easy group pizzas; all at JB pricing, made even better with 1-for-1 style offers. And if you want to do something different, CAMP5 at Paradigm Mall offers indoor rock climbing, which is significantly pricier in Singapore, so using an offer here makes it an easy yes for a fun, active afternoon.

The key is this: if you’re already saving on exchange rates, transport and everyday costs in JB, stacking ENTERTAINER offers on top means your weekend away feels indulgent, without quietly undoing your monthly budget.
How This Actually Helps You Save in Singapore
Here’s the key point.
The ENTERTAINER works best when you use it for:
• Things you were already going to do
• Social plans you would’ve paid full price for
• Regular habits (coffee, brunch, date nights)
If you use just:
• 2 dinners per month
• 2 coffee meetups
• 1 JB weekend
You can easily offset the cost of the membership within a month or two.
And for expats especially, where we all know lifestyle inflation creeps in quickly, this is one of those quiet tools that helps you enjoy Singapore without overspending.
Live well. Spend intentionally. Optimise where you can.
