Drink birthday freebies in Singapore
1. Mr. Coconut

Perhaps you’re like me after a long day, and you’ve seen the snaking queues of Mr. Coconut forming outside Waterway Point in Punggol or at the basement of PLQ in Paya Lebar, confused about who would have the energy to stand in line for so long. Or, maybe on a particularly hot day, you’re like me and you’ve decided to join these queues for a taste of the refreshing Coconut Shakes.
Regardless of which version of me you are, one thing’s for sure: being a member at Mr. Coconut is a must, thanks to their birthday bonuses! This gives you one free Mr. Coconut item of your choice during your birthday month. (This is redeemable at all Mr. Coconut outlets, except Jewel Changi Airport).
2. KOI
