Dining out is an expensive affair, and nowadays, it is very difficult to find a decent restaurant/cafe which has main courses for under $20. However, if you know where to go, there are still some hidden gems that are waiting to be discovered.
Here is a list of Singapore?s Top 20 Inexpensive Restaurants where you can go for a good meal, even on a budget.
Note: I?m a little wary of using the words ?inexpensive and budget? because everyone has different interpretations. For me, a good inexpensive restaurant is one that serves quality food at acceptable prices. It doesn?t necessarily need to be dirt-cheap, it can also represent places that offer value-for-money options, such as Club Street Social and Oriole Cafe in this list.
Big Mama Korean Restaurant
I think I?ve found my new favourite Korean Restaurant in Singapore. Big Mama is a hole-in-the-wall eatery that has been gaining a strong following for its home-style cooking. While some of the signature dishes cost slightly more, it has a ?Big Mama?s Simple Menu? with sets like Kimchi Fried Rice ($12), Pork Bulgogi with rice ($13) and Soyabean Soup with rice ($13).
