Singapore’s vibrant food scene is a feast for the senses, offering a myriad of tastes and flavors. But let’s face it, dining out frequently can put a strain on the wallet. With inflation stories becoming a constant in the news, it’s only natural to wonder if you can still enjoy affordable, healthy meals in the city. While meal prepping is ideal, particularly for those with specific fitness goals, life’s busy pace sometimes calls for convenient, quick bites between work and gym sessions.
Searching for tasty, budget-friendly meals in Singapore? You’re in luck! Plenty of spots serve delicious fare for S$10 or less, and conveniently, they’re close to Evolve MMA Singapore locations. Perfect for the martial arts enthusiasts heading to Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or boxing classes post-work!
1) Rong Ji Chicken Rice & Porridge
A short ten-minute stroll from Evolve MMA Kinex leads you to Dunman Food Centre, home to a variety of local dishes priced under $10. A standout here is Rong Ji Chicken Rice & Porridge, renowned in Singapore for its classic Hainanese chicken rice. Expect reviews lauding its succulent "jelly-like" chicken, plus a comforting porridge crowned with a gooey egg. Open from 6.45 am to 3 pm from Monday to Sunday, closed on Wednesdays, it’s a well-loved spot post-workout where you can pair your meal with other affordable treats.
2) Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee
For those training at Evolve MMA Far East Square, an 8-minute walk to Hong Lim Complex unveils two floors teeming with delectable hawker delights. Among them, Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee awaits. Slightly pricier than typical hawker fare, a hearty bowl still costs under $10. This dish, similar to laksa but milder, combines a rich curry gravy with tau pok, fish cake, and potato. Opt for bee hoon over yellow noodles for a lighter meal, but be ready for a line if you’re aiming for lunch, as it often draws a crowd. Operating Monday to Saturday from 10.30 am to 3:30 pm, it’s perfect for a nourishing pre-gym treat.
