Is It Too Late to Celebrate Singapore’s Birthday with These Merchant Cash Vouchers?

Yadadadadadadada, young dumb broke high school kids.

This article was meant to come out before National Day. I wrote half of it, before getting informed that it’d have to be delayed. By a lot.

Now, I’m not saying anything. But most times, silence is more telling. So. I’m saying that I’m not saying anything. Get the hint?

Anyways.

The team behind Purple Rewards recently implemented a new system of vouchers called Merchant Cash Vouchers. This new set of vouchers directly offset a user’s bill and can be stacked alongside normal vouchers redeemed with points.

As the wise Khalid once crooned: “Yeah, we’re just young, dumb and broke but we still got love to give.” I don’t have any love left for whoever or whatever caused the delay in this article, but Khalid was right in saying that I am young, dumb, and broke. And vouchers stacked together means greater savings for everyone, including me, so yippee ki yay.

Here’s how the vouchers will look like stacked together on the Purple Rewards application.

Given that it’s nearing National Day – oh wait, we’re two weeks past National Day – the team behind Purple Rewards thought that it’d be nice to pool together some of Purple’s amazing merchants and organise a National Day voucher bonanza.

Well, it’s an August Month voucher bonanza now.

Here are 10 fabulous merchants with Merchant Cash Vouchers for you to stack over the month of August. Simply download Purple Rewards on iOS or Android to enjoy these offers today.

The Grumpy Bear

Warm, cosy and welcoming café setting that serves Western food with a twist. Enjoy a wide variety of dishes at The Grumpy Bear, such as Creamy Carbonara, Fish and Chips, Mentaiko Salmon, and Ribeye Steak. They even have Ice Cream and Waffles on the menu, for those particularly disinclined to moving after the exercise that is spooning food into your mouth and chewing. And swallowing. And digesting. So. Much. Effort.

55 Degrees

They serve unique coffee bean blends that aren’t common in Singapore, such as flavours like Yirgacheffe, Golden Cup, West Java, and Nanyang Kopi. Forgive me – I don’t drink coffee ‘cause my life is already bitter enough, so I don’t know how they taste, but I haven’t seen those coffee bean bags around (probably cause I don’t drink coffee) but the names sound really cool. Coffee connoisseurs will probably love the wide range of flavours they have. 55 Degrees also serve light bites, like wraps and pies, and they even have this Lasagna dish that looks good. Also, they serve tarts and treats to pair with your coffee. Delicious.

San Ren Xing

San Ren Xing’s already well-known for their Chinese fare. They serve Fujian Sichuan cuisine, and are- Okay, so I left the article alone over National Day and went to eat at San Ren Xing ‘cause I saw their menu and couldn’t resist. Their food was pretty good, ngl. Ordered their Pork Belly with Garlic Sauce, which was aymayzayng, please order it if you go. Of course, I wasn’t a heathen and ordered several other dishes too. Saw many people eating the Sze Chuan Style Spicy Chicken and another Fish Dish – I remember it as Sauerkraut Fish, but they don’t have it on the online menu. But it was some poached fish dish with yellow soup. That looked good too.

Please go try.
