10 Restaurants In Town For $5 Milkshakes, $55 Five-Course Seafood Menus And More

Dining deals in town

I always keep my eyes peeled for the latest dining deals, especially when it comes to fancy restaurants that are normally out of my budget.

From September 2020 to January 2021, restaurants partaking in the Hi5SG campaign will be rolling out special dining deals themed around the number “5” for you to stretch your dollar. On top of that, this initiative raises funds for =DREAMS, a charity program that uplifts and empowers underprivileged children.

Here’s our pick of 10 restaurants under the Hi5SG campaign with amazing deals for you to indulge in a well-deserved treat. Bring a date along and impress them with a fancy meal and your philanthropic side too!

Their signature beef burger options include Number Two ($14++), which features a charred, juicy beef patty, sweet roasted tomatoes, burrata, crispy prosciutto, and pesto clasped in a fluffy, buttery bun.
