If you’re a student, finding more ‘atas’ places around Singapore that you can actually afford can be a challenge. But don’t worry, we’ve compiled this list of student meals under $10. This list of deals have been carefully curated so you won’t have to worry about cheap-but-unsatisfying meals!
1. Big Fish Small Fish
If you’re sick of your typical fast food, Big Fish Small Fish is a pretty novel alternative to go for. Depending on how rich you feel that day, they have student meals ranging from $5 to $10. They all come with sides and a soft drink, but you can top up $2 for additional sides.
Honestly one of the best student meals out there. (Plus, you get free flow sauces like salted egg and tartar sauce!)
