Upgreat was the Singapore-developed loyalty + dining discount app. Different from Burpple Beyond (annual subscription model) or GrabFood (delivery-focused), Upgreat focused on proper dining promotions + cashback at participating restaurants.
The Upgreat brand positioning:
- Singapore-developed loyalty app
- Dining + cafe + restaurant promotions
- Cashback + discount mechanisms
- The proper “savvy dining” app category
- Direct competitor to Burpple Beyond in some markets
The grilled chicken ($15++ Upgreat effective):
- Grilled chicken breast or thigh (proper Western preparation)
- Standard Western sides (mashed potato, vegetables, sometimes salad)
- Sauce options (mushroom, black pepper, lemon butter, etc.)
- The proper “casual Western main” format
The fish and chips:
- Beer-battered fish fillet (typically cod, haddock, or local barramundi)
- Chunky chips (proper hand-cut potatoes)
- Tartar sauce + lemon wedge
- Sometimes mushy peas or coleslaw
- The proper British-influenced pub classic
The Western pub fare category:
- Casual Western dining tradition
- British + American + Continental European influences
- Affordable mid-range pricing
- Beer-pairing focus
- The proper “Western pub food” Singapore adaptation
At $15++ via Upgreat app, this represents excellent value for the Western pub fare spread. Regular menu pricing typically $25-30 for similar — the Upgreat discount cuts effective cost significantly.
Singapore Western pub-restaurant operators:
- Brewerkz (craft beer + Western food)
- Brotzeit (German-Western pub chain)
- Various gastropubs across CBD + dining districts
- Hawker Western stalls (budget tier)
- Mall casual Western restaurants
The Sunday Western pub fare format is proper weekend casual social dining.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Solid grilled chicken + fish and chips via Upgreat. Would re-do for app deals.
