Heading to town but don’t want to break the bank on food? I know I do.
You know that feeling when you’re secretly on a budget but your friends or S.O. suggests an expensive place so you end up going to somewhere expensive with terrible food? Ugh. I hate that too.
It’s a common perception to think that Orchard Road is simply not a good place to eat great food at low prices. Or is it? Tighten up that purse (or wallet) strings because we got your back! The team at Discover SG has compiled some of the best and cheapest meal options you can find in Orchard Road.

JTown Café
A hidden gem in Orchard, this place is often packed during lunch hours. Try the authentic Bakmie Ayam – Indonesian Chicken Noodles ($5.90), which comes with a bowl of a soup and an iced tea. Drenched with sesame oil, the noodles are super springy while the chicken cubes are really flavorful. Top it off with the fragrant Durian Murtabak ($3.90). Psst, the “J” stands for Jakarta.

New Station Snack Bar
One of my favorite places to go for dinner with my friends, New Station Snack Bar, is best known for its Salted Egg Yolk Pork Ribs. This hole-in-the-wall shop is usually crowded so be prepared to squeeze with others. It’s worth it though, the Salted Egg Yolk Pork Ribs Rice ($6.00) had me licking my plate. The sauce was amazing and the chili padi adds a pleasant spicy zest.

Tangs Market
A foodcourt-esque experience, Tangs Market is unique because you can order your food, find a table, and wait for your number to flash on the display. No more waiting in line, ugh! Dig in to the famous 85 Redhill Teochew Fishball Noodles at ($4.00) a bowl, which comes with 5 huge signature fishballs. Also, sink your teeth into the popular Penang Char Kway Teow ($5.00) which is simply yums!

Fisherios
The specialty Beer-Battered Fish & Chips ($7.90) offered here really gives other places a run for their money. For that insanely reasonable price, you’d get 2 juicy and aromatic fish fillets served with a side of crispy chips! If seafood is your thing, try the Seafood Combo ($9.90), which comes with 1 Fish Fillet, 2 pieces of Shrimp and 3 pieces of Calamari. Happy fishing!

Ayam Penyet Ria
Although there are many outlets, the original is located right here in the heart of Orchard! At ($7.40), the signature Ayam Penyet set comes with an enormous succulent deep-fried chicken, rice, some vegetables, and my personal favorite, the sambal chili sauce. The highlight of this meal is really the chili sauce, which is fiery spicy yet addictive. Did I mention it was free flow?

Astons Specialties
Astons never fails to deliver. With generous servings at an affordable price, this franchise store is one of my go-tos for casual Western fare. For $9.90, savor their range of grillworks chicken ranging from many mouthwatering flavors such Chargrill, Black Pepper, Hickory BBQ to Lemon Lime. It also comes with a choice of 2 sides!

Eighteen Chefs
This place is very popular among students for its low-cost student meals ($6.40), which comes with a choice of pasta or baked rice from the menu, ice lemon tea, and an ice cream. I had the pleasure of meeting local celebrity-chef and owner Benny Seetoh, who is quite a personality. His signature dish, the Heart Attack Fried Rice ($8.90), is to die for.
