Paella and Sangria Wednesdays
UNA dishes out some of the best paella and sangria in town – if you agree, you’ll be glad to hear that they’ve launched All-You-Can-Eat Paella and Sangria Wednesdays! Priced at $65++ inclusive of free-flow sangria and $48++ inclusive of free-flow soft drinks and juices, this sumptuous Spanish dish will be prepared and served in the garden with a gargantuan paella pan. This is one to bring the little ‘uns to, since kids under the age of 12 dine free with every paying adult.
Mitzo’s 45-Minute Set Lunch
Whether you’re a time-starved white-collar worker or an executive on a hunt for a power business lunch, you’re in luck. Mitzo‘s weekday set lunch (12pm-2.30pm) actually comes with a guarantee: if you don’t finish your meal and foot the bill within 45 minutes, lunch is on the house! With more than 20 different options, including some of Mitzo’s signatures like the Mitzo Special BBQ Pork and Golden Fried Soft Shell Crab in Curry Floss, the four-course set lunch starts from $28++ per set.
Specials at UJONG
On top of their three-course set lunch on weekdays (12pm-2pm) – the menu changes monthly and February saw dishes like Prawn Mee Soup and Tau Suan – UJONG at Raffles Hotel is also running a weekday afternoon tea Teh Tarik Set at $5++ (3pm-5pm), which includes 2 pieces of local kueh with your cup of teh tarik.
