I have seen many influencers/ youtubers doing this and I always wanted to try it. Basically, it is a buffet-leftover takeaway box. At around S$10+, you are given a bento box which you can fill to the brim with whatever food that is available. That includes seafoods, roast etc., unless it is specifically stated to be an exclusion. Not only was this kind to your pockets, it was also help to reduce food waste.
Since I had a late lunch day, I decided to give it go. Each place would only have a few lunch boxes available, so it doesn't work if you are there specifically for it because you might be disappointed. Also, the deal can only take place around 1.45pm, after the normal lunch hours. If you are used to an early lunch or have fixed lunch hours, this won't work.
True enough, you are allowed to check out the quantity and choice of leftovers before committing. I got the last box and most of the more pricey items were snagged. I decided to go for what I like and filled up my 2 portion of my box with blue-pea rice and vegetables. The rest were stacked with my favorite meats - beef and friend chicken. It was satisfying to fill my box to the brim! And frankly for a girl, this was way too much food. I think it is good enough for 2 pax.
Supposedly, I was to share this, this would fall into the normal lunch budget with a wider variety and hotel-level quality sides. Overall, this really is one of my best gem finds. You just need to download treatsure app and you can find more goodies within it. But...I won't recommend the buffet-takeway-bento for your everyday meal. Because it is not sustainable in the long run. Overly rich food would lead to health issues and you will grow sick of this if you were to have this everyday.
