Featuring everything from affordable hearty feasts and savoury snacks to free ice cream and beer, plenty of National Day dining promotions await SAFRA members, family and friends. Onward, Singapore!
Free Ice Cream at 929 Desserts & Bites
For anyone looking to satisfy a sweet tooth, a visit to 929 Desserts & Bites is in order. This little dessert shop, which moved from Block 929 in Tampines (yes, from which it got its name) into SAFRA Tampines under a year ago, specialises in Korean and Taiwanese fusion bingsu, along with freshly made buttermilk waffles and ice cream.
From 7 to 20 August, indulge in a red-and-white treat with this National Day promotion. Simply purchase two Red Velvet Waffles and enjoy a scoop of Classic Ice Cream on the house! While Vanilla and Coconut will fit the theme, you’re also welcome to choose other flavours in the Classic range, including Double Chocolate, Mango, and the colourful Tutti Frutti.

10% Off National Day Set at Heavenly Wang
If you happen to be near the SAFRA clubhouses at either Mount Faber or along Punggol Waterway from now till 31 August, then drop by Heavenly Wang for a taste of home. Besides the classic Singaporean breakfast of kopi with soft-boiled eggs and kaya toast, or even hearty halal mains such as Bibik’s Mee Siam, Ibu’s Mee Rebus and Nasi Lemak Kukus, SAFRA members can also enjoy 10% off the National Day set.
At just $5.90 after discount, it pairs a serving of Hae Bi Hiam Thick Toast together with a glass of Cold Barley. Bite into crisp thick toast with a generous sprinkling of house-made spicy dried shrimp on a bed of creamy egg mayo, finished with spring onions and a drizzle of condensed milk. Then wash it down with the ‘cooling’ drink. The perfect nostalgic breakfast or afternoon snack!

Free Ice Cream at Old Habits
Begin your meal with a comforting bowl of mushroom soup, followed by one of the many mainstays that Old Habits’ regular customers swear by. These range from Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Confit Rice Bowl to Chunky Beef Bolognese, which often sells out before the day is over. Other must-tries include the juicy Seasalt Caramel Roast Chicken, as well as Simply Salmon, which pairs pan-seared salmon with spaghetti tossed in spicy belacan chilli paste.
This National Day, SAFRA members who spend $30 enjoy a complimentary single scoop of ice cream to finish your celebration on a sweet note. Options range from Vanilla Bean to Rum and Raisin. Before you leave the homely cafe slightly heavier but happier than when you arrived, browse through the range of vintage collectibles for a blast from the past.

2 Free Pints at Turandot
With live bands playing every night of the week, Turandot is another choice location for your National Day celebration. The unique menu is a marriage of two halves, so you can order up both classic Western grub and authentic Sichuan eats. How does Black Angus Ribeye with Steak Cut Fries sound alongside Braised Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Preserved Chilli, for example?
Throughout the month of August, be one of the first 50 SAFRA members to chalk up a $100 bill at Turandot. You’ll get to toast to the nation with two free pints of your preferred draught beer – choose from Carlsberg or Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc. And even if you don’t make the cut, don’t worry. Just take advantage of happy hour promotions from 4pm to 9pm daily.
