Sunway Carnival's 4 Weekends of Buy 1 Free 1: 24 Outlets Take Turns (1-23 August 2026)

If you live in Penang, you know the drill: every weekend turns into a debate about where to eat. This August, that debate is settled. From 1 August, Sunway Carnival Mall in Seberang Jaya, Seberang Perai, is running a Buy 1 Free 1 food festival across four straight weekends - three outlets a day, a different line-up on Saturday and Sunday, 24 outlets in total over eight days.

The best part: no vouchers to buy, no app to download. Just ask for the Buy 1 Free 1 deal when you order at the counter. We have put together the full list for all four weekends below - bookmark it and work your way through the month.

How the Sunway Carnival Food Fest Works, in Three Lines

• Dates: 1 August to 23 August, Saturdays and Sundays only - eight days in all, three outlets each day

• How to claim: order at a participating outlet and tell the staff you want the Buy 1 Free 1 deal

• Fine print: terms differ by brand (selected items only, limited quantities) and it is while stocks last, so go early if there is something you really want

Weekend 1 (1-2 August): It Starts Tomorrow

The opening line-up is a strong one. On Saturday 1 August, Buy 1 Free 1 at Paris Baguette is basically half-price breakfast for the week, Cafe Amazon covers your coffee, and Garrett Popcorn - never cheap by the tub - is the one worth stocking up on. Sunday 2 August switches to Auntea Jenny, Baskin Robbins and Thai outlet ParaThai.

Saturday and Sunday Are Two Different Line-Ups

Saturday 1 August leans towards bread, coffee and popcorn, which suits breakfast and an afternoon snack. Bubble tea, ice cream and Thai food only come up on Sunday 2 August. If you want both, you will have to come on both days.

Highlights of the Next Three Weekends: Dolly Dim Sum, Jom Cha, Chili's

Weekend 2 (8-9 August): Dim Sum and Ice Cream

Dolly Dim Sum's Buy 1 Free 1 is the headline act of this weekend and an easy call for the whole family, but it runs on Saturday 8 August only, alongside HWC Coffee and crowd favourite Inside Scoop. The next day, Sunday 9 August, switches to Dave’s Deli, Salon Du Chocolat and Xing Lin Herbs Drinks.

Weekend 3 (15-16 August): One for the Bubble Tea Crowd

Saturday 15 August brings Daseo, Toro Fries and XiXiang Kaya Kopitiam. Sunday 16 August switches to Shawarma King, Jom Cha and Winter Warmers, landing right in the afternoon tea slot.

Weekend 4 (22-23 August): The Biggest Finish

Chili's, Yuzhou Tea and Sushi Zanmai land on Saturday 22 August; Heytea, iMP'za and Kialai Cakepastry on Sunday 23 August. Buy 1 Free 1 saves you the most on full meals, so this is the weekend to plan dinner around.

Four Things to Know Before You Go

• Go early: Buy 1 Free 1 usually comes in limited quantities, so get to the popular ones (Inside Scoop, Heytea) as soon as they open

• Bring someone along: buy one free one works best with two of you, one portion each

• Ask before you order: every outlet applies it to different items, so check with the staff which ones are included this time

• Plan the trip: the mall is in Seberang Jaya, an easy run across the bridge, but weekend parking fills up, so go in the morning

FAQ

Do I need to buy a voucher or be a member for Sunway Carnival's Buy 1 Free 1?

According to the organiser, no voucher and no membership are needed - just ask the staff for Buy 1 Free 1 when you order. Individual brands may set their own conditions, so it is safest to ask before ordering.

Is Buy 1 Free 1 available on weekdays (Monday to Friday)?

No, Saturdays and Sundays only. And it is not just each weekend that differs: within the same weekend, Saturday and Sunday have two different sets of outlets, so check the schedule above before you go.

Does Buy 1 Free 1 apply to everything on the menu?

Not necessarily. Brands may limit it to selected items or to a set quantity, so the outlet's notice on the day is what counts.
