any lunch place to suggest other than Expo? lunch => normal self-expensed types, not on company's account

Looking for good places for weekday lunches. No particular preference on food type or style, impt is nice and value for money

Wow! I must say I really like the punchline of MacDonald's $4.50 lunch! I wonder how many of you eat macdonald's $4.50 value meal but I go Mac for Lunch at least twice a week. Quite saving and filling especially if you add another $2 for the MacChicken Anybody else got any other lobang? Recently I also had my lunch at Wheelock Place The Pasta Shop - I feel that it taste much better than Waraku though some of you may differs. They are giving me 50% rebate for my lunch bill! totally worth it! I heard from the manager that they have another outlet at Tiong Bahru and I ask them got rebate or not but he said rebate is offered only to Wheelock Lunch patrons. But Tiong Bahru has a 99cents! MY GOSH! 99cents upgrade to any main course you get DRINK + SOUP + ICE CREAM! For Students around Tiong Bahru there is also student meals for $4.50 with drinks! Alamak must go tackle a JC girl to enjoy this one. Heheheh next time I want to save money with my date u can see me either at Mac's or The Pasta Shop! Any other lobang pls recommend! Times are hard! calls for tough measures! 10 cents bigger than bullock cart!

S'pore investors in UK land buying scheme may LOSE ALL Housewife with cancer and brain tumour wants her money back after firm shuts down By Tay Shi'an December 22, 2008 SHE said she was promised returns of more than 500 per cent if she invested $31,000 in a plot of land in the UK. MISSING: MrTham with the 'certificate of purchase' for the $31,000 investment in the plot of land in the UK, and the lawyer's letter sent to UK Prime Land. TNP PICTURES: TAY SHI'AN Thinking she had a chance to make some money, the Singapore woman put down a deposit and signed a contract. The woman, who is a cancer patient, said she had hoped to repay her husband's kindness and pay him back the savings he had poured into her treatment. But the $3,100 deposit she put down has now allegedly disappeared, along with the real estate company UK Prime Land that once operated from an office in Parkway Parade. The couple are also stuck with $2,000 in legal costs they incurred while trying to pull out of the deal. It is not known how many other investors also put money into the scheme. What is clear is that many are likely to suffer a total loss. A companies search revealed that UK Prime Land's sole shareholder is a Vietnamese national with no Singapore address listed. Its registered office at Albert Street is nothing but a service that offers premises and secretarial support for hire. Police reports The vacated office of UK Prime Land at Parkway Parade. When contacted by The New Paper on Sunday, police spokesman Stanley Norbert said police have received reports against the company and are looking into the matter. The couple requested not to be named, as most of their family members do not know about the case. But they hope their story will alert other Singaporeans. Said Mrs Tham (not her real name), 34, a housewife: 'I don't know why I believed them. I've never gone for such things before. 'That day, I thought if I really get $200,000, I can do a lot of things... considering, you know, my condition, my sickness.' Mrs Tham is suffering from stage four breast cancer, a brain tumour and epilepsy. She had hoped to gain back more than $200,000 in one year, as promised by the company. Mrs Tham had to quit her sales job last year when her cancer got worse. The couple now depend on her husband's $3,000 monthly salary. She said: 'Almost every month, I have to take medicine and see doctors. If I have my own money, I can pay my husband back.' Mrs Tham said she received a call in October from UK Prime Land saying she had won a 40 sq m plot of land in Dundee, UK, as part of a lucky draw, and that she had to go to its office to claim the prize. She said: 'I didn't take part in any lucky draw, so I was suspicious. But she said it's free, just go down and get the (land title deed), no need to pay anything.' So she went to the company's office at Parkway Parade a week later. It was a professional-looking outfit, with wooden floors, the company's logo stamped on all their stationery, and more than 10 staff in office wear. Mrs Tham said she was ushered into a room, where a man congratulated her and showed her photos of the plot of land she had 'won'. He then allegedly started to persuade her to invest $31,000 in a second plot of UK land. Mrs Tham claimed that when she said she wasn't interested, he kept repeating his sales pitch, and got a female supervisor to join in. Said Mrs Tham: 'The lady kept saying, if you invest just $31,000, after one year, you can get back more than $200,000.' Mrs Tham claimed she was shown several contracts signed by others and was told that the available land was going fast. She was also allegedly told she could just put down a 10 per cent deposit of $3,100, and if her relatives didn't approve of the investment, she would get a refund. Mrs Tham claimed she was subjected to the high-pressure sales tactics for about two hours. Worn down, she finally agreed to pay the deposit and sign the contract. It included the line that the deposit is 'refundable in case of hers disapproval of next of kin' (sic). Mrs Tham admitted she didn't read the contract before signing. She said: 'The words are so small, so many, who has the patience to read everything.' When she got home and showed the contract to her husband, he felt something was wrong. Said Mr Tham, 35, a service engineer: 'The sum and the investment period are all not there in the contract.' There was no mention of the $200,000 returns, or even a guarantee on the $31,000 principal. He got Mrs Tham to seek a refund of the deposit from UK Prime Land office the next day but the company allegedly refused. Worried that his wife may be liable to pay the rest of the $31,000, Mr Tham sought a lawyer's help to ask for a refund, and to declare the contract null and void. Again, the company allegedly refused, so the couple filed a suit against them. The company did not turn up in court on the hearing date, and Mr and Mrs Tham got a judgement against them in their absence for the $3,100, plus costs. When the company still did not pay, Mr Tham went to its Parkway Parade office early this month. That's when he realised the office was empty. Nearby tenants told The New Paper on Sunday that the office has been closed for about a month. All calls to the land lines went unanswered, and a handphone number given to Mrs Tham is no longer in service. The serviced office operator at Albert Street claimed he knows nothing about the daily workings of the company. He said his main role was to help do the paperwork when the company was set up in the middle of last year. He claimed he did not know anything was amiss until last month, when the police came to the door asking him questions. He said he has also since filed a police report against UK Prime Land.

Another good one I spotted off BITOG: An Irishman, a Mexican and a redneck were doing construction work on the scaffolding of a tall building. They were eating lunch. The Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building." The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time, I'm going to jump off too." The redneck opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again. If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too." Next day the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death. The Mexican opens his lunch, sees a burrito and jumps too. The redneck opens his lunch, sees the bologna and jumps to his death as well. At the funeral, the Irishman's wife is weeping. She says, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!" The Mexican's wife also weeps and says, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much." Everyone turned and stared at the redneck's wife. "Hey, don't look at me," she said. "He makes his own lunch."

I was driving at my usual leisurely pace toward my lunchtime destination, when I was being confronted.. well confronted seems to be the right word here, given the lack of words dedicated to describe "disturbance from the rear of the vehicle" by a yellow suzuki swift from behind. Going at the non-threatening pace of 70kmh in the middle lane, my GTR rumbled a litte along, not ready for any battles yet but hinting me of its prowess beneath its bonnet. The Swift may be gunning for the "tailgating a GTR: bumper to bumper width" category Guiness record, but all I wanted was my lunch. This swift had enough of fun apparently, after coming to the sound decision that I was not going to engage him today. With a haughty little blow of his titanium tipped exhaust, he overtook me from the left while giving me a smirk. Now, I would have let him go at that. But being overtaken and smirked at by a pimply teen with black rimmed glasses and crooked teeth was definitely not one of the reasons I bought this car. Heck the running in. Some gurus advocate the hard running in method anyway. Today I shall see if they are right. Downshifted and revved. Did not really floor just in case the guys at Nissan were right (Don't rev it about 4k ah!). The revs climbed with urgency as if the GTR was telling me to set it free. 100kmh came and went in a blink. The swift was looming closer and closer, and at some stage it tried to escape I think. The exhaust sound of the swift grew in pathetic intensity, but like black death, the GTR was relentless, closing upon and tearing pass the swift with finality. I had a glimpse of the swift driver's countenance for that 0.5 seconds I passed him. It was as though he was frothing like a rabid dog whose bone snack was forcefully taken away from him by a bigger dog. A much bigger dog. 200kmh came and went too, to the same place the 100kmh went I guess. The GTR was only gaining stride then, pulling me along like a composured thoroughbred stallion. The swift became just an infinitesimal speck in my rear view mirror. All was peaceful again. I calmed the beast down and put it back to prowl at a much more sedate pace. It seemed to urge me to take it back to the realm of speed and terror again but I guess its a case of living to kill another day. Looks like my GTR had lunch before I did today.
