Nestled in a quiet Geylang neighborhood, Builders at Sims is an unpretentious cafe that serves good coffee and food at value-for-money prices. Bonus points for the enthusiastic staff too! Bring your family for a cozy meal or to get some work done during the day (there’s free Wifi). The simply named Beef ($14.90) is one of their most popular items – 24 hour sous-vide beef cheeks atop a bed of mashed potatoes and various vegetables. For something creamy and comforting, the Carbonara ($10.90) was delightfully smooth without being too cloying.
Avg price: $15 per person
