Why i prefer to eat a SGD1.30 lunch time meal
For many colleagues who know me would know my preference for eating at the office cafeteria. Why is that so?
- It is really close to my office. its just next to my office.
- They give a huge serving of rice for the same price. And you don’t have to ask for it. Not that its entirely good for people my age to take so much carbohydrates
- I prefer to have 2 servings of vegetables. The alternative should i go out is Char Siew and Roast Pork which is simply delicious but could in the long term be cancerous. My second alternative is the Wu Xiang Bee Hoon which comes to about SGD2.20. That is nice as well but most of the Wu Xiang dishes are fried which in the long term is not good for health as well. Vegetables although not organic and contains pesticides are the best alternative i feel.
- 2 Vegetables + rice cost SGD 1.30. Thats SGD26 per month (1.30 x 20) or SGD 312 per year. Its very low cost. I don’t earn alot so i would prefer simple dishes then 20++ meals.

As someone who works in the CBD, I find it quite amazing to get food at SGD1.30.
The cheapest is 2 dollars mixed rice at Golden Shoe,although that comes with 3 servings of vegetables.
if you notice, the cheapest food anywhere is always mixed vegetable rice. which cost like 2 dollar plus plus.
tianhong, this is something i do called it as a perk of the job, but really you might not appreciate the quality of food. but i have a simple taste bud. cheers
nope, its good to go out once in a while to take in the sun. thats what alot of office folks seldom do as work gets more hectic. cheers kiat.
Cool.. Still some places where cheap/good food is offered. Personally I like to go at company cafe to have a quick meal..Once a while 10 min walk to foodcourt..
i think it will be even more smashing if your cafeteria at the office have smashing good food. how are all your cafeteria!
it’s really amazing to find such cheap food in sg. makes me wonder why my office cafeteria is still peg to outside price.
