Finding a genuinely good buffet deal in Singapore these days can feel like a small victory. Prices keep creeping up, portions sometimes shrink, and many “promotions” end up coming with conditions that take the shine off the offer. That is why long-running, bank-backed dining deals tend to stand out — and Plate at Carlton City Hotel Singapore is a strong example worth paying attention to.
From now till December 2026, diners can enjoy a series of 1-for-1 buffet promotions at Plate, located within Carlton City Hotel at Tanjong Pagar. This is not a short-term flash sale or a limited-week dining event. Instead, it is a multi-year promotion that allows diners to plan meals well ahead, whether for weekday lunches, Friday night dinners, Saturday indulgences, or relaxed Sunday family outings.
Plate is known for its spacious setting, polished service, and menus that rotate across different themes without losing consistency in quality. With this 1-for-1 promotion, the value proposition becomes even more attractive, especially for diners who appreciate hotel-standard buffet dining but want to enjoy it at a more reasonable price point.
One of the key highlights of this promotion is variety. Rather than offering a single buffet concept, Plate features multiple themed buffets across different days of the week. This makes repeat visits far more appealing, as diners can return for different menus instead of repeating the same spread.
On weekdays, the Flavours of Hong Kong Buffet Lunch offers a comforting yet refined selection inspired by classic Hong Kong cuisine. Expect familiar Cantonese favourites, roasted meats, dim sum-style offerings, and soups that lean towards traditional flavours rather than overly modern interpretations. For working professionals in the CBD or those meeting friends for a relaxed lunch, this weekday option feels both indulgent and practical, especially with the 1-for-1 benefit.
Friday evenings introduce the Canton Street Kitchen Buffet Dinner, a dinner spread that leans deeper into Cantonese cooking techniques and richer flavours. This is the kind of buffet suited for unwinding after a long workweek, catching up with colleagues, or celebrating small milestones without committing to fine-dining prices. With the promotion applied, the dinner experience feels far more accessible than a standard hotel buffet dinner.
Saturday nights bring a different mood altogether with the Surf and Sear Buffet Dinner. This is where diners looking for seafood and hearty proteins will find the experience especially satisfying. The combination of seafood selections and grilled or roasted meats caters well to groups with mixed preferences, making it an easy choice for family gatherings or social dinners. Paying for one diner while the second dines free significantly enhances the perceived value, especially when compared to standalone seafood buffet pricing elsewhere in Singapore.
Sundays are reserved for something more nostalgic with the Ah Ma Porridge Buffet Lunch. This buffet concept taps into comforting, home-style flavours centred around porridge and traditional accompaniments. It is a slower-paced dining experience that suits multigenerational families, especially those dining with older relatives or children who prefer familiar tastes. Sunday lunches often come with higher expectations, and this concept delivers warmth rather than extravagance, which is exactly what some diners look for at the end of the week.
Another reason this promotion stands out is its long validity period. Running till the end of December 2026, it removes the usual pressure of rushing to book before a promotion expires. Diners can plan birthdays, anniversaries, festive meals, or even casual get-togethers months in advance. This also makes it easier for working adults to coordinate schedules without feeling constrained by short promotional windows.
The location of Carlton City Hotel Singapore adds another layer of convenience. Situated in Tanjong Pagar, the venue is easily accessible by MRT and surrounded by offices, residential areas, and heritage districts. Whether diners are heading there straight after work or making it part of a weekend outing, getting there is straightforward.
From a value perspective, 1-for-1 dining promotions are particularly appealing when applied to hotel buffets. Hotel kitchens tend to maintain higher standards of ingredient sourcing, food hygiene, and service consistency. When diners pay effectively half the usual price for that experience, the perceived return becomes much stronger compared to standalone restaurants.
It is also worth noting that this promotion is valid for adult pricing, which is often where the biggest savings are realised. For couples, friends dining in pairs, or even double dates, the cost savings can be significant over time, especially for repeat visits.
Reservations are strongly recommended, as hotel buffets tend to fill up quickly, particularly during peak meal periods and weekends. Interested diners can make enquiries via WhatsApp at +65 9232 8005 or email dine@carltoncity.sg. For those ready to commit, the booking prompt encourages diners to secure their tables early.
As with most bank-linked promotions, payment must be made with a valid DBS or POSB Credit or Debit Card. General DBS promotion terms and conditions apply, which can be reviewed at www.dbs.com.sg/dbscardstnc. Diners should also note that the promotion cannot be combined with other discounts, vouchers, or free-flow alcohol packages, ensuring clarity around what is included.
Overall, this 1-for-1 buffet promotion at Plate offers a rare combination of longevity, variety, and hotel-level dining at a more approachable price. For diners who enjoy exploring different buffet concepts without overcommitting financially, this is a deal worth bookmarking and revisiting throughout the year.
