There are three options for the lunch set: Seafood ($9.80), Meat ($9.80 - choose pork, beef or mutton) and Mushroom ($8.80). Each set comes with a veggie platter and a good amount of meat. Oh, and all soup broths already come with chicken pieces in them! We added on rice, and a mojito mocktail, which is currently on promo ($3.80).

The spicy & fragrant soup was tasty but got slightly oily after awhile. My friend really loved the original flavour (non-spicy), and I'll be trying that the next time I'm here. A really worthwhile lunch set in my opinion - certainly great for those days you feel hungry for something different but still wanna go easy on your wallet.

Wasn't expecting much from this but boy was I surprised! Generous serving of chicken, well-coated with salted egg without being too overpowering, and so reasonably priced. My new go-to if I'm in the Sim Lim / Rochor area. Try it if you're around the area!

For a local option in the hipster Tiong Bahru area, Sam Yat Coffee offers local favourites like kaya toast sets, curry chicken, traditional kopi / teh, but also modern likes such as bingsu, lemongrass tea, etc.

Coffee is freshly brewed, and their kopi o kosong had a nice bitter taste. Most of all, it's a great place to escape the heat (it's air-conditioned)!

Happiness in a cup! My coffee of choice any day.

Coffee is always freshly made, served in a hot cup, and the proportion of coffee to water, evaporated milk and sugar is consistent no matter which outlet I go.
