Every set meal comes with multiple sides including coleslaw, thick-cut fries, beans and a baked potato - definitely lasting you the whole night! For less than $15, you are able to get a hearty meal that satisfies you for the rest of the day.

AB Grill
AB Grill follows a more traditional style of a narrow but delicious menu, specialising in grilled foods. They are fairly new to the area, but provide a decent meal for less than $10.
Each meal is served with thick-cut fries, a fried crispy bun and a particularly delicious, creamy coleslaw.

As you eat your food, enjoy the atmosphere of the serene Holland neighbourhood - reminiscent of some older generation HDBs with a slight modern twist.

JWS Grille Factory
JWS Grille Factory are a well-known chain of western hawkers with several outlets across the island. While meals are slightly pricier, you’ll be able to choose from a selection of sides not commonly seen at your typical western hawker.
Sides include cheese broccoli and corn, sweet potato fries and mac and cheese. Every order allows you to choose two so you can get exactly what you want in your meal! You’ll want to spend an average of $10 a meal here to enjoy their best grills and customisable sides.

Hua Soon Western Food
Hua Soon Western Food is a truly traditional Singaporean style western hawker. Poorly lit signage, low prices and deliciously simple food complete this nostalgic storefront. You’ll get to choose from a modest menu of grilled chicken, chicken cutlet and fried rice combos, each a satisfying meal.
The biggest draw of Hua Soon is price for value, with the most expensive meal at just $6. Besides, who wouldn’t want to support an old auntie and uncle who’ve been in the business for more than a decade?
Address: 1 Lor Mambong #01-20, Singapore 277700
Operating Hours: Mon - Sun, 11am - 9pm
