Craving for Chinese food? You're in luck. From your favourite Hong Kong street eats, to hearty broths and tongue-numbing Sichuan cuisine, there is something for everyone craving some tantalising Chinese food. Check out this list of Chinese restaurants with amazing 1-for-1 deals now!

1. BBQ Box

We all love skewers. What we don't love is when the skewers get cold and the meat tough after being left on the table for too long. And this is why we cannot help but praise the people at BBQ Box for bringing grillers to our tabletops to keep our beloved skewers hot and succulent throughout our incessant gossiping session (that is the reason we gather our friends for, right?).

Diners will be spoilt for choice with close to 50 Chinese-style grilled skewers to choose from, in addition to ala-carte items like their crunchy and addictive Sichuan Tasty Lotus Root ($7.80), springy and spicy Chong Qing Noodles ($9.80) or their specialty Spicy Chicken Wings ($3.80 for 3 pcs)

From the same people behind Black Society, Black Society Dimsum Kitchen (BSDK) is like its name suggests, a restaurant with its focus on dimsum. That said, BSDK is not your typical dimsum eatery.

Imagine your traditional ordinary yam pastry in the shape of a swan, or a typical round traditional red bean bun (dou sha bao) in the shape of a pink rose -  you get the drift.
