I’m killing two birds with one stone today with one post on both blogs, because I think it’ll be of interest to everyone.
I think I’ve mentioned the Enjoy card before but haven’t devoted a full post to it, which it definitely deserves. Basically, you pay 399 RMB for one year (with discounts for multiple year commitments) and you get a book of vouchers that get you special one off deals at many bars and restaurants around town, as well as other shopping and lifestyle establishments. The offers vary by establishment, so some are pretty useless, like perhaps one free cocktail when 4 people dine or something silly like that. But there are more than enough genuinely great offers to make this a complete no-brainer. A few examples include buy one, get one free brunch at T8 in Xintiandi which is a saving of over 300 RMB right there. 50% off (food only) at Kebabs On The Grille which is one of my favourite Indian restaurants is another great offer.
The vouchers can only be used once but every establishment also offers an ongoing deal which can be enjoyed on every visit. This is commonly a percentage off, or a free drink or something that might not be an amazing deal but still goes towards making the card worth holding.
You do need to be careful as there are some establishments that participate just to drum up extra business that they desperately need and I do not recommend going to places just for the offers. But there are more than enough good places participating that are worth visiting. Even M1NT which I have also reviewed participates (free dessert platter when 4 people dine, free glass of Champagne on every visit).
Here’s a list of a few other places that I recommend and that are in the Enjoy book, many of which will be reviewed here shortly, in case you’re not sure:
Pin Chuan Sichuan Restaurant (50% off food)
Lost Heaven Yunnan Restaurant (68 RMB off)
Di Shui Dong (20% off food)Kakadu (30% off food)
Fat Olive (30% off total bill)
Downstairs @ Urbn Hotel (50% off)
Simply Thai (50% off food)
