There’s something about food that does more than just fill the stomach – it takes us back in time. The first birthday party at Swensen’s, a simple morning treat at Ya Kun Kaya Toast, or family dinners at Jack’s Place – these places aren’t just restaurants, they’re memory-makers. And for many NSmen, they were the backdrop of growing up years, first dates, or celebratory meals. Today, thanks to SAFRA promotions, these beloved names are still here to serve up comfort food and familiar vibes – at even friendlier prices.

Ya Kun Kaya Toast: The Toast That Binds Across Generations
Since 1944, this cherished kopitiam-style café has been serving up simple but unforgettable fare – crunchy kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and robust kopi.

SAFRA members can once again dig into their favourite sundaes or family platters – with promotions that make celebrations sweeter without stretching the wallet.
Must-tries: You cannot go wrong with their classics like Fish ‘N’ Chips and Chicken Baked Rice, but be sure to try out their new creation, the UFO Burgers, available in three different flavours. Of course, the meal is not done without a helping to one of their iconic sundae scoops!
