Affordable Less Than $10 Lunch Options Near Your Workplace

profileTracy Lim

What’s better than good food?

Cheap AND good food.

I know you’ll get sick of eating the same food every day. Regardless of how nice it is.

So let’s get right into discussing other affordable food options you can choose from!

Content List (Click to go straight there!)


Central Business District

The list of food in CBD is pretty long, so I will split them into segments.

Food centres

Let’s start with Food Centres, shall we.

As Singaporeans, we can’t do without hawker centres. If not, where else can we get our $3 Chicken Rice, Bak Chor Mee and Chap Cai Png… All in ONE place?

I won’t go into the details of what stalls are in each hawker centre because then the list will be super long. Furthermore, walking around to check out the stalls before deciding what to eat is one of the joys of eating at a hawker centre, right? 😉

Talk no more, this is a list of food centres around this area, in alphabetical order.
