Restaurants in Singapore with nett prices
9% GST has kicked in, which makes dining out more of a pain. What’s more: there are eateries in Singapore that are capitalising on the new tax rate to spike prices, despite cost of living issues. Thankfully, there are also a handful of restaurants in Singapore sticking to offering nett prices across their menu or absorbing the GST hike for their patrons.Â
Here is our guide to restaurants with nett prices.
1. Yakiniku Like
Get affordable yakiniku at nett prices over at Yakiniku Like, a solo dining concept with outlets around the island. Sets start from $9.90 here. For the price, you can get their Pork & Chicken Set, where you get 100g of meat, as well as a bowl of plain or bonito seaweed egg rice, soup, and kimchi or a salad. The Like Quattro Set, priced at $17.90 for 200g of meat, is a crowd fave, and comes with four different types of meat for the price.
