S’pore App Alerts You To Free Food Nearby So Leftover Buffets Won’t Go To Waste Source: https://mustsharenews.com/free-food-app/ Makan Rescue App Helps You Find Free Food Nearby Ever walked past an event’s buffet spread and yearned for a plate of free food? Now you can fulfil that wish with Makan Rescue, an app created by a group of Singaporeans which alerts users to leftover food nearby. The initiative which aims to curb food wastage is a win-win solution – no food gets thrown out, and people get to eat for free. Extra buffet food for everyone Events tend to cater more food than necessary perhaps out of precaution, but that means heaps of servings leftover. What happens to the food then? Well, caterers often have no choice but to discard them, since the food which was prepared hours earlier could go bad soon. That’s where hungry folks like us come in because we just can’t say no to free food. Locate free food using Makan Rescue app More than just alerting users of free food, Makan Rescue also locates the exact venue, along with photos of what the spreads look like. Users can also upload “missions” if they know of any leftover food that needs to be “rescued”. Based on the sample photos uploaded so far, most of the missions seem to occur at tertiary institutions only, though there’s an “others” option too. But local universities like NUS, NTU and SMU have their own “channels” which users can follow, to find food at the respective campuses. Students scrimping on every dollar should definitely check the app out if you don’t want to spend on food. Eat for free and reduce wastage Even the app, which is available on Google Play and the App Store, is free, so there’s no excuse not to install it. It’s always such a shame to see large amounts of food go to waste. Hence, this initiative by the Makan Rescue team is truly commendable. Let’s support a good cause and do our parts to work towards becoming a zero-waste city. Featured image adapted from the Makan Rescue app and Facebook.

Desperate lah . . need to arrange for one at MIL's place for about 20 this weekend. Any good (must be good hor) buffet caterer to recommend? Thanks in advance!

The 10 Best Cheapest Singapore Buffets Last Updated: January 22nd, 2014! The ten cheapest and best buffets (relative to their price) in Singapore. No, we are not going to list the steamboats you see at Chinatown and Bugis who's utensils come with remnants of the last person's meal. "Cheap" does not have to mean bad if you know where to go. In this list, we show you not only the most affordable, but also the most delicious buffets in Singapore you can find under $30. Singaporeans love food but what they love even more is unlimited food! Today, even the bigger chains like Crystal Jade and Jumbo have started to diversify their restaurants by offering steamboat buffet options. In the first part of our buffet series, we show you 10 buffets of various cuisines under $30 that we have scouted out. Remember, it is always a good idea to read more reviews of these places by going to their TSL pages. This is so you can be certain the place is worth visiting after reading several different perspectives. 10 Great Value Singapore Buffets under $30 1. Chicken Up (Korean Fried Chicken) Address: 48 Tanjong Pagar Rd, 088469 Price: $25 weekdays / $30 weekends Reservation: 6327 1203 This place may actually be considered expensive, if not for the fact that they offer a chicken buffet daily ($25)! Not to mention a beer buffet for just $7 more ($32). A drawback though is how they don't serve free water. When I first came here I was unaware of their chicken buffet and I felt they were overpriced. $18 for four pieces of chicken may seem pricey, which of course makes the buffet deal sooo much sweeter. Not to mention they are easily among the top 3 best Korean friend chicken stores in Singapore. Their chicken comes in plenty of flavours, I recommend the Swicy and Crispy versions. These pieces by the way are full chicken pieces (drumstick+wing) unlike 4 fingers / bonchon that counts a single drumlet as one piece. I bet the maddening 4 finger crowd would be here instead if they knew better. Other than the chicken, you won't have much else to eat, apart from the unlimited fries and a Korean style soup to go along with your buffet. So you must really like Korean style fried chicken to enjoy yourself here. I had a huge Korean chicken craving one day and came here and ate 8 pieces. Needless to say my craving was satisfied and I'm actually quite scared of Korean chicken now as I stuffed myself silly! Make reservations (number above) as this place is small and usually packed with a working type crowd that spills over from Chinatown / Raffles Place offices. Read more Chicken Up reviews. 2. Crystal Jade Kitchen (Chinese Steamboat / Xiao Long Bao) Address: #02-43 Great World City Singapore 237994 #02-32, Plaza Singapura Price: $20.80+ (Weekdays) $23.80 (Weekends) Reservation: 6738 2911 (Great World City), 6336 2833 (Plazza Singapura) UNLIMITED XIAO LONG BAOS!!! Yes, Crystal Jade Kitchen has their own special steamboat restaurant too. Apparently the one at Holland V comes with endless streams of Xiao Long Baos and its priced very reasonably! The one we've been to was at Great World City and it looks like they have one at Plazza Singapura too. Dining here becomes an attractive option if your dining partners are concerned about hygiene. The sauces and dishes here are served in immaculate cleanliness, which is a refreshing change from the Bugis steamboats. However, if you are here for the steamboat and want to eat lots of meat, you will be sorely disappointed. One or two seafood/meat dishes are given free then its mostly just vegetables you can order. If you wish to order more meats you can but at their a-la-carte prices. So although we really like the fresh, cheap and hygienic take here, the lack of meat is the thing that stops up from coming back for more. Especially where there are so many other options on this list! Read more Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao and Steamboat Buffet reviews. 3. Chiso Zanmai (Japanese) Address: #02-17 6 Eu Tong Sen Street Singapore 059817 Price: $14.90+ Reservation: 6221 3177 Chiso Zanmai makes this list on the virtue of being so amazingly affordable for a Japanese buffet. Yes it is our lowest rated in this list but 68% is still very decent. For some perspective, the more expensive Sakae Sushi has a 58% rating from our members. You should come during LUNCH time for the ultimate bargain as dinner prices aren't that cheap. I did not enjoy their buffet but many members did. And their lunch is priced at $14.90 making it an absolute steal. Jeremy says: "The (dinner) price per person is more or less what you'd pay in a typical mid-range jap restaurant here in SG (approx $30). The fare is more or less what you'd find in such establishments too (e.g. salmon sashimi, the usual sushi selection, tempura etc). The only difference being the unlimited free flow of everything, making this place very worth the money. The salmon sashimi was fresh and generously cut. Noteworthy were the chawan mushi and agadeshi tofu. The prawn tempura was wonderful: freshly fried on the outside, succulent on the inside. The dessert selection was limited, but the soft serve ice cream is really all you're going to need. I can't wait to go back!" Check out more Chiso Zanmai Reviews from our members. 4. The House of Steamboat (Chinese Steamboat) Address: 7 Tan Quee Lan Street Singapore 188096 Price: $17.90 Reservation: 6336 2875 The House of Steamboat is located opposite Bugis Junction at the mid-point of Tan Quee Lan street. This is one of my all time favourite steamboat buffet places when I feel like filling up my stomach without spending more than 20 bucks. It's the quintessential Bugis-type steamboat on steroids. A few things make this place stand out. First, their soup here is a level better then the other Bugiis steamboats. They have a special soup chef that prepares the stock and no MSG is used. I also find the hygiene levels slightly higher here. Next, I love how they offer BBQ as well. If you pay a few dollars more you get to have both the steamboat and BBQ tray at your table! How cool is that? We normally just get the steamboat though, but this mix seems popular with other patrons. The vegetables are self service and the meats have to be ordered from the menu. Don't worry, its unlimited! Finally, there is free flow of fried food - super spicy chicken, man tou, Shi Sha mo etc. So forget the antagonizing wait while your raw food cooks and tuck in right away! Chloe loves Shi Sha Mo so she especially loves coming here. And the price? Just $17.90 NET. Amazing! After dinner you can head over to the next lane "Liang Seah street" for some great dessert. I recommend Ah Chew's Mango Sago.

Come early or you're gonna have to queue. 2D1N is an extremely popular Korean BBQ restaurant along Tanjong Pagar road. The actual name for this place is Ssikkek Korea BBQ and they are located at the top of the 2D1N restaurant. But because its a hard to pronounce its Korean name, most Singaporeans just remember this place as 2D1N. Remember it is not the same and access is through the side staircase next to 2D1N. Variety is not as wide but it still has 12 MEATS and all of the most popular dishes from Pork Belly to marinated Bulgogi. You will not be able to find any other quality Korean BBQ at such a great prices in Singapore and that is why its one of my favourite buffet places. They have also opened a branch in Novena and one more on the edge of Chinatown. Meeafl: "It is perpetually crowded and there is always a queue outside as no reservation is allowed for the buffet dinner. The place is cramped and hot and stuff and noisy and smokey, BUT, the food makes it all worth it. There may not be a large variety of meat available, but the quality of meat and the tastiness of the food available is amazing. It makes leaving the restaurant with a layer of oil on your face extremely worth it. They even provide febreeze at the stairs for you to get rid of the bbq smell on your shirt."

Coca Restaurant (Thai Steamboat) Address: #04-23, Ngee Ann City, 391 Orchard Road, Singapore 238872 Price: Lunch: $26++ Dinner: $42++ Reservation: 6734 7887 Coca pioneered Thai-style Suki steamboat dining and they have been around for a long time now with 3 branches in Singapore - at Takashimaya, International Building and even Resorts World Sentosa. They lunch menu is priced at just $26 and you get to try their special COCA sauce. Their dinner menu is a lot pricer because you can help yourself to seafood like prawns, oysters and flower crabs making it a great deal for its price. Missy W: "Since my childhood days, my family always celebrated a happy occasion with a visit to Coca. During our dating days, Hubbs and I also liked to frequent Coca for a happy meal and still visit frequently. It's menu has not changed much over the years. My favorites are the pork ball, their green spinach wanton noodles and their home made chili sauce. Their meat balls (Beef, chicken, pork and fish) are all hand made by their in-house kitchen staff. It's yummy and full of flavor, unlike commercial pork balls which are springy, sweet and taste of food additives. The green spinach noodle is their spin on normal yellow wanton noodles. It might look unappetizing but after you have cooked it in the sweet broth, it is amazing! Oh, don't get me started on the chili sauce! It had coriander leaves, sesame seeds and their special rendition of chili sauce. I always ask for several helpings as it is just so good! Spicy yet sweet." Read more Coca Restaurant reviews. 7. JPOT (Chinese) Address: #01-53 VivoCity (Lobby F) 1 HarbourFront Walk Singapore 098585 Price: Lunch Sets: 14.80 / 17.80 ++ | Dinner Sets: 58++ for two JPOT is a uniquely Singaporean concept from the well known JUMBO Group of Restaurants. And this is actually a-la-carte and not buffet. Opps, but since I've mentioned them on top I thought I'll include them here too. There are seven different hotpot soup bases from mild to spicy, and they come in individual pots, an innovative take and they are marketed as a more "hygienic" way to enjoy hotpot. I personally prefer the less "hygienic" way though as its easier to bond with your dining companions over food when you share your meal from the same pot. duskofdoubt says: "I'm not a big fan of steamboats, I'll admit that, but my dining experience at JPot was so wonderful that it made me doubt my initial dislike for steamboat. Firstly, I have never ever been to any other restaurant that allows customers to order their food through an iPad. I was pretty amazed when the staff pulled out an iPad and started teaching my family the basics of ordering from the restaurant, and it definitely impressed me a lot. JPot is definitely a good place to go for steamboat enthusiasts. Although on the slightly pricier side, the steamboat there is extremely fulfilling, and I can assure you that you won't regret dining there." Read more Jpot Buffet Reviews from our members. 8. Kiseki (Japanese) Address: #08-01/02/03 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road, Singapore 238896 Lunch: 19.80++ (Weekday) Dinner: $31.80++ (Weekend) Reservation: 6736 1216 Kiseki has over 29 categories and 200 buffet items from grills to Hot Pots to Japanese Western. Despite its relatively bad location (who goes to Orchard Central, let alone the 8th floor?) and ability to accommodate 280 diners, every single time we've tried going here it had an insane 1 hour queue. So go early or forget about it. desirabbit says "KISEKI is definitely my favourite buffet restaurant. From first entering the shop, you can already feel a sense of freshness and the space is just humongous so it feels like you are walking down a street of Japanese food stalls. I especially love their prawn and crab selection although these may change from time to time. Sometimes they have snow crabs with huge pincers while other times they only have flower crab. They also have the largest mussels I have ever seen and these are always fresh and really tickle your taste buds. Their dessert counter is another section to look forward to. They have a chocolate dip which you can use freely and lovely cheesecakes and sponge cakes.... I always enjoy my dining experience at Kiseki and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good buffet." Read more Kiseki Buffet Reviews from our members. 9. Buffet Town (International /Seafood) Address: #B1-44E, Raffles City 252 North Bridge Road Prices: Lunch $26.80++ (Weekday) Dinner: $36.80++ (Weekday) Lunch $31.80++ (Weekend) Dinner: $41.80++ (Weekend) Reservation: 6837 3793 Like Kiseki, Thai Express and Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe, Buffet Town is another franchise under the Minor Food Group in Singapore. They are located at the basement in Raffles City, have a seating capacity of 450 and they even have a mini playground for kids in their restaurant! There are over 300 buffet items in 29 item categories, including chilled prawns, mussels, freshly shucked oysters and fresh sashimi. alvinjuano says: "There is no denying the huge range of food offered here. There’s something from each culture, from a bowl of laksa to a delicious plate of sashimi. I have been to the place three times and have tried almost everything they offered and the only thing that makes me return is the plate of sashimi they have. The salmon is cut neatly to satisfyingly thick pieces and will melt in your mouth as you chew those heavenly pieces. And that’s it. I wasn’t amazed at the taste of the other food they offered and neither of them leave a significant impression. But if you want a taste of almost every culture, Buffet Town would be the most affordable place to go." Read more Buffet Town reviews. 10. Mushroom Pot (Mushroom! / Chinese) Address:2 Stadium Walk, Singapore 397691 OG Orchard Point, Level 4, 160 Orchard Road Singapore 238842 Lunch:$21.80++ (Weekday) Dinner: $29.80++ (Weekend) Reservation: 6733 9910 (Orchard), 6342 3320 (Stadium) Now this is a really interesting steamboat restaurant and the only one of its kind in Singapore. Their mushroom soup contains over 20 types of wild mushrooms, seafood and meats! wangkh says: "If you translate the Chinese name, it meant "longevity pot". What a good place to celebrate birthdays especially for your parents or parent-in-laws. I had been to their indoor stadium branch many times. It is not especially crowded so you do not need to make reservation even if you need a big table. Mushroom pot is basically steamboat but a more healthy variant of it. You can choose two soup bases and besides the steamboat dishes, they also served cooked dishes. The favourite for my children is the mushroom fries. This is a healthy variant of French Fries but equally tasty. Remember to order two plates because most likely it would not be enough to go around. My personal favourite is their drunken chicken, tender chicken cooked with wine and served cold. Also order two plates because the serving is not very big."

Went to sakaru buffet yesterday. sitting beside a family of China ppl. We arrived at the same time and they are rowdy man! well,they don q and took quite a lot of food, maybe they thought can only take 1 time. anyways, i saw them taking a lot of japanes food like salmon, clams, etc. and they were sitting for a good 10 mins with the food infront of them. i was wondering what are they waiting for until i heard them asking the waiter in Chinglish " whare sting boat?" the waitier looked at them and said"no steamboat, buffet, take and eat." chinman. "how eat no cooks......" the waier shaked his head and said, japanese food no cook" Chnaman."no(s) cooks!" after that the waiter walked away. and i heard the china family said in mandarin" no cook how to eat. Haiyo!" apparently they have never seen or ate japanes food before. They threw the dishes at the the next table and went off to take "cooked" food. again, table full of food and some they don even touch after 1 bite.... cannot tahan!

A STOMPer was appalled to see a Facebook posting made by a woman, who bragged about stealing food from a buffet at a restaurant for her kids at home. Said the STOMPer: "I saw these photos online plus the caption saying that she took food from the buffet at Sakura restaurant for her kids at home. "What kind of mother is she? She goes out and enjoyed the food. But she steals food for her kids? "As you can see she has the money but why must she do that? Plus she's lucky the staff at the restaurant did not notice what she was doing. "Come on lah, Singaporeans. "You willing to dine but not pay more for your kids?. Tsk tsk. "And she proudly posts her deeds on facebook for all to see. "I think this woman is too much."
