When it comes to discussing the best side in Singapore, it is often a battle between the East and the West, with those staying in the North often getting left out of the conversation despite the northern region being the second largest region in Singapore by land mass.

With 1-for-1 dining deals however, it is all fair and square. Check out this list of all the 1-for-1 dining deals and offers you can redeem in the northern part of Singapore with your merewards app.
