In life, there are many things that make us happy ? spending time with family, chilling out with friends, awesome music, travelling to new places, reading a good book, getting a job, getting paid for the job and than there is food. A four-letter word in the dictionary that manages to cure most?of your problems. When paired with words cheap and good it becomes like an item sent from heaven to solve our rumbling tummies and cancer-stricken?wallets!
We know what it?s like to look into your wallet on holiday and think twice before eating something. It?s like opportunity cost. If you eat that $20 bowl of Japanese ramen for dinner, you would not be able to buy the Singapore Zoo ticket that we sell (isn?t that convenient!) for $20 and go visit the animals that you have been clearly planning to see for months.
Also, we?re pretty frugal people ourselves and we love discovering tasty and affordable eats around our area! Therefore, we present to you the few places that we?ve been da-pao?ing (Mandarin for ?takeaway?) our lunch from. We hope we try it and let us know if you like it, love it or simply can?t get enough of it like us!
62 South Bridge Road
Closed on Mondays / Opens from 7am to 3pm
Located on the opposite side of where our hostel?s at, convenience just doesn?t justify how convenient it really is! What makes this delightful joint much more appealing is the fact that every sort of noodle variety on the menu goes for just?S$2 a bowl! Top it up with an additional dollar if you feel like upsizing your meal. We recommend: Laksa, if your a spice lover your sure to enjoy this Singaporean dish ? it?s a combination of Asian spices with coconut milk, dolloped over with rice noodles, fish cakes, dried beancurd and topped up with a halved egg! Too sin-ful indeed.
- Nur-Hikmah Malay Food Stall at BK House?
92 Circular Road?
Closed on PH / Mon ? Fri 10am ? 9pm
Having absolutely no relation to the fast food joint known worldwide, this coffeeshop tucked along the side of Circular Road boasts a good few food shops that?s sure to make you drool with hunger! One of them is a Malay food stall (look out for the green signage) that sells absolutely smashing Nasi Lemak! For the price of S$3 a plate, you get a standard portion of coconut milk rice paired with 1 piece of deep fried chicken, ikan bilis (fried anchovies) and a spoonful of sambal chilli. The best way to eat it? Have a bite of everything at once, close your eyes and let the fireworks in your mouth explode with pleasure.
92 Circular Road
Closed on Sundays / 24 hours every other day
Located just next door to the Nasi Lemak store is the famous Bak Chor Mee (it means ?minced meat noodles? in Hokkien) it?s a popular eating spot for night go-getters and you?ll often see people flocking towards this joint in the evenings to grab a bite before going to party the night off. There are a variety of noodle options available for the minced meat noodles but the standard yummy option would be to say ?mee pok dry ? bak chor with chilli? Alternatively, if it?s a cold night you can always opt for the soup option and have it without chilli!
- Saizeriya Ristorante E Caffe at Liang Court
#02-22 177 River Valley Road
Open from 10am ? 10pm daily
If your looking for a place to beat the heat but not your wallet than look no further! Easily found on the 2nd floor of Liang Court (which is known to be a Japanese mall filled with everything & anything Japan related) this affordable Italian-Japanese jont offers cutting edge prices with flavor to beat. We recommend: Squid Ink Pasta (S$5.90) ? it?s not exactly the kind of dish you?d want to eat infront of a first date (hint: it leaves black squid ink dye on your lips and tongue) but it?s something that?s definitely worth a try if you haven?t had it before! The restaurant also serves up other good pasta dishes and has a SS$2.90 all you can drink softdrink offer.
Drooling yet? It?s time to hop off your chair and hop into theirs! :)
