Singapore is known for its diverse and delicious food options, but eating out can get expensive. As inflation news hits the headlines regularly, you might wonder whether you can still find an affordable dining place to get healthy meals. And while meal prepping is always a good idea if you have specific fitness goals, sometimes it’s easier to grab a bite when rushing from work to the gym.
If you’re looking for delicious and affordable food options in Singapore, you’re in luck! Some budget-friendly places offer food options for S$10 and less. Best of all, Evolve MMA Singapore outlets are near all of them. Perfect for all our martial arts athletes who are headed for Muay Thai, Brazilian Jit-Jitsu, or boxing classes after work!
1) Rong Ji Chicken Rice & Porridge
Dunman Food Centre is just a ten-minute walk away from Evolve MMA Kinex. Here, you can find all kinds of local dishes under $10. The popular food stall in Singapore serves traditional Hainanese chicken rice. It has received positive reviews for its delicious white chicken and comforting bowl of porridge. Diners gush about its “jelly-like” chicken pieces, fluffy rice, and the gooey egg atop its porridge. The stall is open from Monday to Sunday from 6.45 am to 3 pm and closed on Wednesdays. The best thing about heading to Dunman Food Centre after a hard workout is that you can also order other affordable dishes to go with your chicken rice!
2) Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee
You have many choices if you usually work out at Evolve MMA Far East Square. Walk 8 minutes to Hong Lim Complex, where you’ll find two storeys of good hawker food. Our choice is Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee. It is slightly more expensive than your usual hawker fare, but you can still get a hearty bowl of noodles for under $10. Here you’ll find something that resembles laksa, but it is less spicy. The generous curry gravy is scooped atop a luscious offering of tau pok, fish cake, and potato chunks. Choose soup bee hoon as it’s lower in calories (under 300kcal) than yellow noodles. Be prepared to queue if you want to have this during lunch though, as the wait can get long. It’s also only open Mondays to Saturdays from 10.30 am to 3:30 pm. For workout warriors who head to the gym at 8 am, you can head there in time for a bowl of curry to start your day.
3) Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut
Evolve MMA, located at Orchard Central, is well-connected to several air-conditioned food courts and open-air dining spots. For instance, you can just visit its neighbouring mall, 313@somerset. On the topmost level is Food Republic, with a wide variety of affordable local fare. But a ten-minute walk to Lucky Plaza is required if you want to tuck into gorgeous, heartwarming Indonesian food. Over there, the Indonesian restaurant Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut serves up authentic Indo food at great prices. Reviews say you can get a delicious plate of Ayam Penyet (Fried chicken rice) with five types of spices, from mild to very spicy. Go for the grilled duck with rice and avoid the fried food for a healthier option. Prices are under $20 for the various dishes.
4) Genius Central
Genius Central Singapore is a vibrant café and community hub, serving nourishing, plant-forward meals while inspiring entrepreneurs and creatives to connect and collaborate.
Conveniently located just outside Evolve MMA Far East Square at Telok Ayer, Genius Central Singapore is a modern dining concept that serves a high-plant-based menu specially designed and curated to nourish your body with whole food ingredients that are as close to nature as possible with minimum human interference.

Alongside the vibrant atmosphere, enjoy wholesome dishes like the Happiness Bowl, a refreshing mix of organic rice, vegetables, and avocado, or the Vegan Zinger Burger, a spicy battered oyster mushroom served on a charcoal bun. These delicious options make for a perfect, healthy meal before diving into the community’s inspiring environment.
5) Supergreen
Supergreen serves fresh, nutrient-rich salads at affordable prices, making healthy eating easy, delicious, and accessible while fostering a wellness-focused community.
