Cheap and Good food in the East

With the cost of living rising, there are still places where good food is available at reasonable prices. Many still at $2.

An initiative of MP, Mr Lee Yi Shyan, a list of places where cheap and good food can be found in the East is being compiled and listed here.

We intend to highlight "value-for-money" stalls to help residents and the public reduce their expenditure.

Hi,

i want to recommend old airport food center, nasi lemak, rice with chicken wing, egg, ikan bilis and nuts selling at $2. the stall provides sufficient rice than other stalls which sell at same price. the stall name is Weng Hock Nasi Lemak.

i paid same price for stall @ Hup Lee, but only rice and wing and egg. some stalls same price but the rice is not enough for me.

Thank you

Jacqueline

If only each constituency has the same effort for we cannot end up going to Bedok just for the meal…

At  Heartland Mall Kovan, there is one stall on the higher level, selling Tou Hua (very soft and nice) for just 30 cents per bowl…..same price for umpteen years…

With best wishes,

Nicholas

 

Dear Sir/Mdm,

May the officer in charge submit my email to the MP concern. Thank you.

First of all, I think it is a good idea to inform all citizens of stalls selling cheap or reasonable prices in Singapore . But I'm staying in Ghim Moh, how can myself or others that are not living in the vicinity to patronise these stalls that are selling at cheap or reasonable prices ? To cummute to these stalls, it just doesn't make economic sense due to additional transportational cost.

I have an idea that may perhaps can be explored by NTUC co-operative or other interested parties together with the grassroot leaders.

Perhaps, NTUC co-operative can set up a separate branch that venture into cheap food catering for families. These stalls that are selling cheap or reasonable prices can be roped in on a voluntary basis. One may argue that it may compete with other food catering or hawker stalls for business but think again why NTUC co-operative venture into groceries business when other private companies can provide such service ? The objective is to a maintain a balance in the prices of food to all consumers in Singapore .

Appreciate the MP concern can look into my suggestion and explore its feasibility. Pls let me know  what you think about it too.

Thank you.

Best Regards

WHILE the prices of rice and other staples are skyrocketing, it still is possible to find a cheap meal.

 

they are cheap and tasty but they might not be nutritious - not that I'm implying that costly means very nutritious. there are many things to consider when we choose where to settle our meals, not just the cost.

I would like to ask why the Bedok area food ctrs are selling cheaper food compared to the rest of S'pore ? We cannot be travelling all the way to Bedok to have our meals and back home. This add to our travel costs and doesn't makes sense...1) Are other food ctrs paying higher rents ? 2) Is subletting in other food ctrs driving up rental costs ?....The devils are in the details.

I am a regular at the Blk 216 hawker centre...about once a week. And two things that I go for.....kopi O and the nasi lemak. You won't miss out these two stalls because the long queues seem to be there all the time!

I dont know about cheap and nutrition, but sometimes I got a very good lunch of 2 large bananas at just 60 cents and a hot soya bean drink at 1.20 and this adds up to 1.80 which is less than 2 dollars.

Enjoy yr nasi lemak and kopi o....no regrets!
Nasi lemak stall only opens on thurs, fri & sat (mornings only).
kopi o business is daily from early morning to 10.00 am....yes, business closed at 10.00 am!!!
