You can’t escape the wave of nostalgia that strikes when you step into A&W. The OG burger joint in Singapore now operates two outlets locally ─ one at AMK Hub and the other at Jewel. It’s a cardinal sin not to order their signature Root Beer Float ($3.50), best paired with A&W’s most popular burger, the Mozza Burger (from $7.50). Those looking for something more sinful can try their Cream Cheese Burger Combo ($10.90) which comes with either a chicken or beef patty. Don’t leave without trying the Curly Fries ($3.40) too!

Akimitsu is an award-winning tendon franchise hailing from the Asakusa province in Tokyo. This outlet, opened in 2018, is their third in Singapore after Vivocity and Plaza Singapura. Tendon, short for tempura donburi, is their speciality.
The Signature Tendon Bowl ($14.90) here is inexpensive, especially considering how it comes with chawanmushi, miso soup, and free-flow pickles on the side. If tempura isn’t for you, there are other options like the Pork & Egg Don ($12.90) and the Salmon Teriyaki Makunouchi Bento ($20.90) on the menu for you to choose from.

Most people would have heard of the incredible story behind Eighteen Chefs and its mission to give troubled youth and ex-convicts a second chance.

They also recently launched a series of lunch sets that are available every weekday from 11am to 5pm, from $10.80. Each includes the soup of the day and a glass of iced lemon tea.

There’s something comforting about digging into a bowl of springy wanton noodles, and the kitchen at ENG’s Wantan Noodle delivers on this craving. A small Wantan Mee ($4.50) comes with savoury wantons, sliced char siew, blanched veggies, and crispy pork lard on top of springy noodles that have been tossed in fragrant oil. The star, however, is their super spicy chilli that has a cautionary label on every bottle. Add on a bowl of Boiled Wantans (from $3) if you’re still feeling hungry!

The sizzling of food on the hotplate at Pepper Lunch outlets is an instantly recognisable sound. Here, you’re given the illusion of being the chef as the ingredients are merely assembled on a piping-hot teppan for you to cook to your preferred doneness. As of October 2020, Pepper Lunch has also introduced a New Zealand Rib Eye Steak ($19.90) that is served with sweet corn and broccoli on the side. Students nearby can also capitalise on the affordable student meals which start from $7.20 and include a soft drink.
