A carnival experience is not complete without walking around with a bucket full of food. At $12, you can get this Meatballs In A Bucket from Sofnade. Other items on their menu include Twister Fries In A Bucket ($8) served with warm cheese and Wings In A Bucket ($10). For an even more shiok version, ask for your wings to come with either Texas BBQ or Wasabi Mayo sauce!

2. Burgs & Satay Boy

Run by three young chefs at Golden Mile Food Centre, Burgs is popular for their burgers that are not just finger lickin’ good but also affordable. If you haven’t had a chance to try The Classic Burger ($6.50) made of freshly minced Australian beef, this weekend is the time. For those who don’t fancy beef, they will also be serving Barbeque Chicken Burger ($6.50) and Chicken Parmigiana Burger ($6.50). Every burger comes with a side of Onion Rings, but if you’d like a portion of that on its own, you can also get it at $4!

3. Ah Lock Tofu
If carnival food reminds you only of unhealthy and overpriced fare, visit Ah Lock Tofu when you’re at the festival. Check out their Ah Lock Tofu Bowl ($6.50), which is a rice bowl topped with minced pork belly-stuffed bean curd, chopped chilli, long beans, seaweed, and a soybean-based sauce. Mix the Japanese short-grain rice up with the toppings and you will have a hearty meal to go!
