Cheap Eats in Town

[pulpy]

Any good restaurants to recommend, esp new ones around orcahrd or bugis area?

Preferably below $15 per person.

Always don't know where to go when meeting up with friends. Am looking at restaurants other than nooch, crystal jade, sushi places, thanying and pasta cafe. :roll:

where else is good? thanx for ur help in advance!!!

I think Phin's steakhouse is not too bad for western meals!

I their beer batter fish and chips which is about S$11.90?
It's located at Purvis street in Bugis (the mos burger area, go out of Bugis Junction and cross the street to the row of shophouses)

they have a newly opened branch in Cineleisure too!

[pulpy]

where is it exactly at cineleisure?

thanx for the recommendations!

if i'm not wrong,the steakhouse is on the ground floor of cine,near long john/yoshi there...Near the escalator

[pulpy]

alright, anymore suggestions as to where is good?

[baobei]

the stretch of restuarants along Liang Seah Street?

How bout Thai Express, they serve a really mean seafood tomyam soup there. And the maincourses are only around $8. I also like Coffee Club (pastas and desserts are good) and Marche, when I meet up with friends. nice atmosphere. ooh and i just love those plush red circular seats at Cafe Cartel. There's one @ at the basement of Orchard Cineleisure.

My favourite would be the Rice Table though, its indo-chinese restaurant at Penerakan Place, behind Centrepoint. They offer buffet-at-your-own-table. You can order as many dishes as you like, faves including chilli kangkong, egg tofu, beef rendang. Plenty of choices at only around $15/head inclusive of service/tax.

Pills: What don't you like bout Pasta Cafe?

hi there scrapdoll,

i LOVE pasta cafe!!! love it eversince 4-5 yrs back!! hahaha.... but i wanna try new restuarant.

always going to these usual ones. so i wanna try those not so popular ones or new ones.

thanx for ur help!

i love pastacafe too!! i adoreee everthing there from the avocado prawn salad to the spicy seafood pasta to the baked rice. IMO, the decor of the restaurant is quite inconspicuous and dull and un-eyecatching compared to other restaurants in town. people can just walk past w/o noticing it. anyway pastacafe's not very good for my pocket still a struggling student

oops i forgot to say $15 is for lunch..yup cheap right

Hi Amanda, just to give you a rough idea. its about
$7-10 for a salad. $13-$18 for pastas. and $12 for baked rice. the desserts there are very cheap but i havent tried them before.
