At Ichiho, you can expect donburi and sushi crafted with super fresh ingredients. The Premium Kaisen Sashimi Don ($20.50++), for instance, lays a fine selection of sashimi slices atop sushi rice. Fans of the dish have raved about how fresh every slice is, and the generous portions make it worth your money. Non-sashimi options include the Buta Kakuni Don ($18.50++), another rice dish that features thick pork belly slices.

Of the “nasi” dishes in Singapore, nasi ambeng isn’t as well-known as nasi lemak or nasi padang. That doesn’t mean it is any less delicious, however, so if you haven’t tried it before, you should give it a shot at My Spice Affair. The Solo Ambeng ($12) is suitable for one, and features a plethora of ingredients such as sambal goreng, egg balado, and cow’s lungs. You also get to choose between beef rendang and chicken lemak chilli padi to top off your plate.

Everyone has an opinion on Saizeriya, but few can deny that the casual Italian fare there is value-for-money. A plate of Carbonara goes for just $5.90, with no GST or service charge. If you want to get some pizza, you’re unlikely to complain about the price—a Pepperoni Pizza will set you back a mere $7.90.
