Smart Ways to Maximise Your CDC Vouchers in 2025
– Share a main with sides: Many cafés and bistros offer generous sharing plates. Split one main and add a couple of sides to turn it into a full, budget-friendly meal.
– Buy whole tarts or cakes: Bakeries like Drips often price whole tarts reasonably for groups. Grab one and divide it among friends for better value.
– Use vouchers for unique experiences: Spots like The Cat Café and certain dessert bars accept vouchers for entry sessions or shareable desserts — a fun and memorable alternative to regular dining.
– Check outlet-specific acceptance: Not every branch accepts vouchers even if the brand is listed. Always confirm on-site or on the brand’s website.
Example: Hello Arigato — only the Everton Park and Tiong Bahru outlets accept CDC vouchers.
