5. Astons Steak and Salad

Astons Steak and Salad brings back memories of the now-defunct Ponderosa Steakhouse and Sizzlers—both famed for their salad bar—with its salad station. On its own, the Supreme Salad Buffet is a tad expensive at $19.90. This is why we recommend you getting it with a main course, as you will only need to fork out an additional $11.90 to enjoy never-ending refills of soups, bread, cheeses, salads, and hot and cold side dishes. The side dishes are impressive, featuring onion rings, garlic potatoes, and even chicken drumettes! Â
Address: 176 Orchard Road, #03-28/28A, The CentrePoint, Singapore 238843
Opening hours: Daily 11:30am to 10pm

The lunch set is very value for money, as it not only comes with a soup of the day, garlic bread, dessert, coffee or tea, but unlimited greens from the salad bar! Defo’ enough food to quell the hungriest of tummies!
