Set Dinner For Less Then S$10

You know how you step into a restaurant on any other day, order a set meal for two, and end up almost S$30-S$50 lighter in the pocket? Out of which around $5 - $7 is paid for food you did not consume? (eg Service Tax and GST). Bummer.

Well why not cook a meal at home instead? Dinner for two will cost you less then S$10, and takes less then one hour to prepare (provided you have all the ingredience at home already)


For starters, a light Caesar Salad (lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, hard boiled eggs, Caesar Salad and Parmesan Cheese). Ingredient cost - S$2.20

Main course of Portebella Mushroom Scallops Spagetti (the obvious, with some garlic, olive oil and salt to taste). Ingredient cost - S$5.00


And wash it down with a bowl of soup (Campbell Mushroom Seafood Soup). Ingredient Cost - S$1.80.

Total Cost S$10 (add in sauces etc)

And yes, I am damn 'kiam'(stingy) to calculate my meal cost like that, but think of all the savings you get! Plus you get a better nutricious meal too!

And just to share, here a great site for 'kiam' people like me -> The Dollar Stretcher If you know a better site, or a site more in Asian context, do let me know!

Tomorrow I'll be posting 3 more meal time entry: breakfast, lunch and dinner :)
