Cheap Eats: Free Tikoy and Radish Cake for Chinese New Year, 50% Off at Wildflour + More

(SPOT.ph) Valentine’s may be over, but let’s be honest—the eating doesn't stop when Lunar New Year happens two days after. This week’s Cheap Eats rounds up promos ushering in the Year of the Horse, like free tikoy and radish cake from your favorite Cantonese restaurants, i.e.: Jade Garden, Peking Garden, and Tim Ho Wan.

And if you’re skipping the festivities, don't worry, we've got you covered: You can get a 50% discount at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery and a 40% discount on Kuya J Restaurant's Crispy Bagnet Strips Kare Kare.

Tim Ho Wan's treating you to a piece of prosperity this Lunar New Year: free Radish Cake, a classic Chinese dish that symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. You can get this free fried dim sum upon meeting the minimum purchase of P600, which you can do by ordering their signatures like the Baked Barbecue Pork Buns, Shrimp Dumplings, and Crispy Red Rice Roll with Shrimp and Roselle Sauce—or trying something new like Black Truffle Chicken Buns. Tim Ho Wan's Lunar New Year promo is available from February 16 to 20, and is available for dine-in and takeout transactions.
