The buffet was a spread! Alot of varieties were served from yellow rice, noodles of sorts, seafood & meat. A must eat was the satay! The meat was thick & the gravy was awesome. Overall, the food was great & the staffs were friendly!

This little eatery commands a queue during lunchtime because people love it for the lip-smackingly good rice and noodle dishes that are cooked only upon order. Top of my list is their Nasi Goreng Kampong which is a spicy fried rice that has every grain of rice infused with the aroma of "sambal belachan". Stirred into the mix are a few strands of green veg (but that's fine because getting your fibre fix isn't why you eat this dish anyway). Topping it off are copious amounts of tiny crispy anchovies and "keropok" plus a fried egg. If you ask me, that's $5 well spent.

This 90-seater space sets you in the perfect mood for a lovely Indonesian meal, making it a great space for a date night or family dinner. The must-order dishes include the Tahu Telor ($8.80), which is hailed to be one of the best, the Ayam Bumbu Rujak ($8.80) or the super tender Rendang Sapi ($9.80). Your meal will be affordable, and full of flavor. *Halal-certified

I Am cafe has gained widespread popularity, attracting diners by the dozen to their humble, airy space just at the start of Haji Lane. Their unexpectedly good food is what brings diners back again and again, especially for their perfectly battered and fried fish and chips, and exquisite rainbow mille crepe and red velvet cake. Enjoy a nice meal here with a couple of friends! *Muslim-owned, not Halal-certified but Halal supplier

Known for their cakes and pies, The Royals Cafe has been around for a while now, and is a safe bet for affordable food that satisfies. Go for their most popular dish, Mee Siam, with fragrant hints of lemongrass, and lime that brightens it up. End off your meal with a slice of the Chocolate Truffle cake if you're feeling indulgent!
