The holy month of Ramadan is a time for Muslims to come together in prayer, reflection, and celebration of their faith. This Ramadan 2024, there are even more reasons to celebrate with a myriad of Ramadan deals and promotions-everything from limited-time retail offers to decadent feasts!
Here's a round-up of the best Ramadan deals, promotions and offers in Singapore 2024, including a secret Ramadan bazaar in Tampines, up to 70 per cent off IT products, and not one, but two Hari Raya Block Parties to celebrate this year.
Ramadan 2024 menus and buffets
1. Permata - 1-for-1 Ramadan 2024 buffet ($54++/pax)
How would you like a 1-for-1 bountiful buffet deal at one of the best halal restaurants in Singapore?
A finalist for Best Halal Restaurant (Fine Dining) and Best Buffet at the Epicurean Star Awards 2023, Permata serves up progressive Nusantara cuisine. Nusantara (Javanese for "outer islands") is the Indonesian name for Maritime Southeast Asia, and Nusantara cuisine is a blend of Indonesian and Malay culinary fare.
Available from now till April 9, 2024, Permata's Ramadan 2024 buffet ($108++ for two pax, $20++ for children) will feature Nusantara dishes full of authentic flavours with a modern twist. Highlights include Striploin Beef with Lomak Cili Api, a beef curry dish, and Botok Botok Barramundi, a modern Nusantara-flavoured rendition of traditional Botok Botok.
And as far as ambience goes, does it get any better than in a historical palace? Permata sits in Gedung Kuning ("Yellow Mansion") at Kampong Gelam, which was once the place of residence for Tengku Mahmud, a Malay prince. Today, its regal yellow walls host weddings, events and special gatherings of families and friends.
Permata - Ramadan 2024 1-for-1 buffet

2. Pestle and Mortar Society - Malay-Western Ramadan Special Platters (from $10++/pax)
Located along MacPherson Road, Pestle and Mortar Society is a cosy, Muslim-owned joint serving up fusion Malay-Western cuisine. For Ramadan 2024, they've crafted not one, not two, but six Ramadan Special Platters! These are:

If you fancy Japanese cuisine this Ramadan 2024, Hei Sushi has a value for money Family Seafood Platter at $118++ (usual price: $138++) for five pax. Tuck into this special Ramadan feast of soft shell crab, prawns, scallops, and more. The platter is served with fragrant Japanese rice and Coke zero to wash it all down.
It's available at all Hei Sushi outlets except for the outlet at IMM. If you don't want to self-collect or dine in, order it to be delivered right to your doorstep!
Hei Sushi promo code
Ordering from Hei Sushi online? From now till Dec 31, 2024, pay with a Maybank credit card and use the following promo codes for up to $12 off your total bill:
- MB4: $4 off with minimum subtotal spend of $40
- MB12: $12 off with minimum subtotal spend of $100
4. All Things Delicious - up to $50 off take-home sets
Love buffets, but also love staying home? All Things Delicious has the perfect solution this Ramadan 2024. They've curated special take home Ramadan and Raya sets that let you enjoy a sumptuous buffet right from the comfort of your home.
All Things Delicious’ most decadent set is the Aidilfitri set for 10-16 pax, which is now $50 off ($308.40, U.P. $358.40) for the festive period. It includes:
- 1 x Ramadan Raya Canapes (Box of 36): Mix and match Curried Lamb & Potato Pies, Otak-Otak Melt, and Sticky Beef Meatballs with Sesame
- 1 x Mezze Platter, Ramadan Raya Edition
- 1 x Mini Bundts, Eid Edition (Box of 9): Choose either Chocolate Banana or Pandan Kaya
- 1 x Mini Fruit Tarts, Eid Edition (Box of 12): Choose either Lemon Meringue or Banoffee
I've dined at All Things Delicious myself on several occasions and can testify that their cakes and pastries never disappoint.
For something lighter, opt for the Chef-To-Go Mini Buffet ($144.50, U.P. $174.50). From now till April 9, 2024, this set will come with a complimentary serving of Bubur Lambuk, a rice porridge traditionally served during Ramadan.
I really like that the prices you see on All Things Delicious' online store already include the nine per cent GST we would otherwise dread. You're definitely going to want to order via their website — orders made via phone or email won't include this benefit and will cost more.
However, prices exclude delivery costs. Delivery fees start from $14.90 per location.
5. Segar Restaurant (50% off seabass)

"Segar" is Malay for "fresh", which is perfect to describe their promotional seafood dish this Ramadan 2024. Enjoy a whole seabass in your choice of cooking style: sweet and sour, Thai style garlic spicy, or deep-fried!
Do note that this promotion is only for dine-in customers. Here are their outlets:
- Segar Restaurant Chinatown Point: 133 New Bridge Rd, #B2-39/40/41, Singapore 059413

Auntie Anne's pretzels hold a special place in my heart for being possibly my favourite childhood snack. Who doesn't love warm, baked bread smothered in cinnamon sugar?
This Ramadan 2024, indulge in the buttery baked goodness that is Auntie Anne's Sharing Bundle. For $21.50 (U.P $22.60), you'll get a selection of four Stix and Bites of your choice, with the exception of Eclair Stix.
I would personally recommend anything smothered in their cinnamon sugar. The sugar is generous with large crystals that offer some crunchy depth to the soft, chewy bread — excellent mouthfeel!

15. Bazaar Bawah Block ("Bazaar under the block")
Tampines has been hiding a secret (almost) every Ramadan.
Bazaar Bawah Block means "bazaar under the block", and that's literally what it is — a Ramadan bazaar under an HDB block.
This year's edition looks packed with stalls selling nasi padang, nasi bukhari, Ramly burgers, churros, stuffed donuts, durian pengat, and many more food items than we have the space to list here.
There's not a lot known about this bazaar, because it doesn't even have so much as a Facebook page with an address. However, according to The Halal Food Blog, it's up and running from 3.30 pm till 7 pm daily at Block 301, Tampines Street 32.
Bazaar Bawah Block
- Dates and times: Ongoing now, open around 3.30 pm till 7 pm daily according to The Halal Food Blog. End date unspecified.
- Address: Blk 301, Tampines Street 32, Singapore 520301
