When I think of Swensen’s, what comes to mind is their delicious ice cream and Western fare. That said, their food can get quite costly, especially for a broke, jobless student in this economy. But it’s a whole other story with their Weekday Student Meal, which gets you one of nine discounted mains and a choice of drink or soup from just $8.80++! Do note that the deal is only available for dine-in from 11am to 4:30pm on weekdays, with one meal claimable per student pass.
If you’re a fan of pasta, don’t miss out on their popular Spaghetti Aglio Olio ($8.80++), starring spaghetti cooked to al dente tossed with mushrooms, chilli flakes, garlic cloves, and garlic oil. They also offer several burgers and seafood dishes on the student menu, including their Fish Baked Rice ($10.80++), featuring grilled fish fillets in a creamy white sauce, baked with rice and cheese.

To enjoy this deal, simply present your student card to the staff before ordering.

Big Fish Small Fish has long been my go-to for good and affordable fish and chips, which is why, as an ex-student, I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous when I found out about their $8.50 Student Meal. A main that’s part of the deal, paired with a free drink and free-flow chips and sauces, only amounts to $8.50++!
This deal is available on weekdays for students with a valid student pass. For the classic, and a crowd favourite, go straight for the Fish & Crisps or Fish Baked Rice. If you’re more of a pasta person, there are two options to consider: Creamy Mushroom Pasta and Chicken Cutlet Pasta, the latter of which comes with a sizeable deep-fried cutlet that’s crispy on the outside and juicy within. Whichever you pick, you’re getting solid comfort food without breaking the bank–perfect for a quick lunch after classes.
