Finding an affordable meal in Singapore that also feels comforting and satisfying can sometimes be a challenge, especially when dining out during the workweek. With food prices continuing to add up, a meal deal that offers something more substantial than a quick snack is always worth taking a closer look at.
For diners who enjoy nourishing soups, generous ingredients and hearty flavours, Milkfish & Broth at Raffles City Shopping Centre has introduced a weekday dining promotion that could make an afternoon meal a little more worthwhile.
From 7 August to 31 August 2026, selected ala-carte broth bowls are available at just $9.80++ per bowl, compared with the usual price of $13.80++. The offer is available on weekdays from 2pm to 5pm, making it particularly suitable for those looking for a late lunch, an early dinner or simply a comforting bowl of soup after the lunchtime crowd has cleared.
There is a small condition to take note of, though. The $9.80++ promotional price applies when two diners dine together and order two bowls. So, instead of heading down alone, this is a good excuse to bring along a colleague, friend or family member and enjoy a proper meal together.
A closer look at Milkfish & Broth
Milkfish & Broth is a homegrown brand that has been serving wholesome, flavour-focused meals since opening in 2021. The concept has now been refreshed with a stronger focus on milkfish belly and nourishing, slow-brewed broths.
The idea is fairly straightforward. Rather than relying on overly complicated dishes, the menu puts attention on naturally comforting ingredients and broths that are prepared with care. For anyone who enjoys a warm bowl of soup as part of a meal, this approach can be particularly appealing.
The Raffles City outlet is located at B1-44F, making it convenient for shoppers, office workers and visitors who happen to be around the City Hall area.
The current promotion also comes at a useful time of day. Between 2pm and 5pm, the usual lunch rush has already passed, while dinner has yet to begin. That gives diners an opportunity to slow down and enjoy a quieter meal without having to squeeze into the busiest dining period.
Selected broth bowls for $9.80++
The main attraction of this promotion is, of course, the selection of slow-brewed broth bowls.
There are three comforting broth options available under the offer, giving diners a few different flavours to choose from. One of the highlighted choices is the Dang Gui Chicken Broth 当归鸡汤, which combines a nourishing herbal-style broth with boneless chicken leg, shiitake mushroom, red dates, celery, Chinese angelica and Chinese yam.
It is the kind of bowl that feels particularly suitable when a simple, warm and comforting meal is what someone is after.
The combination also gives the bowl plenty of variety. There is tender chicken for a more substantial bite, mushrooms for extra texture and vegetables and traditional ingredients that complement the herbal broth.
For diners who are already fans of Chinese-style herbal soups, this could be an especially interesting option to try. Meanwhile, those who usually prefer lighter meals may appreciate having a warm broth-based choice instead of going for heavier fried or fast-food options.
The other selected broth choices provide additional alternatives, so diners can choose according to their own preferences when ordering.
Why this $9.80++ deal is worth considering
At first glance, saving $4 on a bowl might not sound like the biggest food promotion in Singapore. However, the value becomes more noticeable when considering what the meal actually provides.
The usual listed price is $13.80++ per bowl, while the promotional price is $9.80++. That works out to a saving of $4++ per bowl. For two diners ordering two qualifying bowls, that means a total saving of $8++ compared with the usual price.
More importantly, this is not simply a discount on a small snack or drink. The promotion centres around a proper broth bowl with ingredients such as chicken, mushrooms and vegetables, making it more suitable for diners who want something that can serve as a satisfying meal.
It can also be a useful option for people working nearby. Rather than rushing out during peak lunch hours, colleagues could arrange a slightly later meal and head over between 2pm and 5pm. The timing could also work well for those with flexible schedules, students around the area or shoppers who happen to be visiting Raffles City in the afternoon.
A good excuse for an afternoon catch-up
One of the best things about this promotion is that it is designed around two diners and two bowls. That makes it less of a solo meal deal and more of an opportunity to enjoy lunch or an early meal with someone else.
A weekday afternoon catch-up does not always need to involve an expensive café meal or elaborate restaurant visit. Sometimes, sitting down with a warm bowl of broth and having a proper conversation is enough.
The location at Raffles City also makes the promotion easy to combine with other plans. Diners could meet for a late lunch, do some shopping afterwards or simply use the afternoon as a short break from work and everyday routines.
For office workers, this could be a convenient way to escape the desk for a while without having to travel too far. For shoppers, it gives another reason to stop by Raffles City during the promotional period.
Timing is important
Anyone planning to enjoy this offer should pay close attention to the promotion hours. The discounted broth bowls are available on weekdays from 2pm to 5pm, rather than throughout the entire day.
That means this is not really a deal for the conventional 12pm lunch crowd. Instead, it is better suited to diners who can adjust their meal time or are specifically looking for an afternoon dining option.
It is also worth remembering that the offer requires two diners and every two bowls ordered. Diners should check the promotion conditions at the outlet before ordering if they are unsure whether their chosen bowls qualify.
As with most food promotions, availability and promotional terms may be subject to the participating outlet’s conditions, so it is sensible to confirm the details before making a special trip.
Why go for this promotion?
There are several reasons why this Milkfish & Broth promotion deserves a spot on the list of August food deals to consider.
First, the discount is straightforward: selected broth bowls drop from $13.80++ to $9.80++.
Second, the meal focuses on hearty, slow-brewed broths and wholesome ingredients rather than simply offering a cheaper version of a snack or side dish.
Third, the afternoon timing can be useful for people who prefer to avoid the peak lunch crowd.
Finally, the two-diner requirement makes it a practical deal for a casual meal with a friend, colleague or family member. Instead of paying the regular price for two bowls, diners can enjoy a combined saving of $8++ when the qualifying conditions are met.
For those who enjoy traditional-style soups and comforting meals, this is a promotion that could be worth checking out before it ends.
The offer is only running from 7 August to 31 August 2026, so there is a limited window to enjoy the $9.80++ price. With Raffles City being centrally located, the promotion is also relatively easy to fit into an afternoon around City Hall.
If a warm bowl of nourishing broth sounds more appealing than another rushed lunch, this could be a good opportunity to take a break, bring someone along and enjoy a more relaxed meal without spending as much as usual.
