If you think that lunch in Orchard Road is expensive, it's because you haven't been exploring into the nooks and crannies. Isle Cafe located at the first floor of Far East Plaza offers great and affordable options for mixed vegetable rice! This was the amount which I chose, and guess what? It's only $3.30! The egg tofu was yummy and savoury, but you can't really get this wrong... so, yes, this was great! The sweet and sour pork wasn't up to standard though, it was slightly soggy and not crunchy

The egg tofu was yummy and savoury, but you can't really get this wrong... so, yes, this was great! The sweet and sour pork wasn't up to standard though, it was slightly soggy and not crunchy anymore. The vegetables were a good choice too, they weren't overcooked (common mistake) and retained their moisture! 

I am so coming back for more for the sake of my wallet!

I love this stall when I discovered Isle Cafe which is located at Far East Plaza. Last time I tried the Lor Mee hence now i decided to try the prawn mee pok dry at $3.50 only ! The prawns are very fresh and the ingredients & noodles are all given in generous portion. The noodle is springy with shiok chili. As for the soup, is very tasty and have been cooked with the natural goodness of the prawn shells. Overall is a must try for all prawn mee lovers !

I ordered the lor mee at $3.50 which is very reasonable due to its location at Far East Plaza. The ingredients are a lot and very delicious. The gravy is just nice, not too thick or thin and when added with garlic & vinegar, taste very shiok !! The noodles is cooked just nice and is not soggy at all. Overall is a must try for all lor mee lovers !

Whenever I was around this area, will dropby this stall to have a delicious Bak Chor Mee. As you can see from the photo, the serving that they gave is enough to make your stomach bloated. Noodles is cooked just nice, not too soft neither too hard. Ingredients consist of two type fish cake, meatball, fishball, minced meat and mushroom. Soup is normal added with seafood.A bowl cost just $3.50 and is definitely worth it despite of the area where it operate in. Will come back soon for their noodles.

Whoa, don't be deceived by its innocent appearance... its coconut milk broth is extremely spicy I nearly died from it - and I haven't even mixed in the molehill of chilli at the side! Needless to say it was hard for me to enjoy it because I like non-spicy laksa :'( There was a lot of ingredients in there, most of it are processed food like luncheon meat, fishcake and taupoks.

I still love this laksa for its coconut milk taste and the white springy beehoon and the fully cooked egg that soaked up the gravy well ... but it is simply too spicy for me. How am I supposed to survive Katong 328 laksa?! This will definitely please people who adores spicy food.

Introduced by my colleagues, this stall is cheap and nice. They have variety food choice you can choose. Have economical bee hoon, economical breakfast with luncheon meat, fried, egg, fish cake. But when I came for lunch, they are still selling it. I ordered fried bee hoon with 1 sweet and sour fish and vegetable. And the best is they giving big portion for those vegetable & the bee hoon, and I was full after eating it. Price is reasonable and very worth it.

Decided to packet my lunch at this newly opened Isle Cafe located at the first floor of Far East Plaza. Since there isn't much cheaper choice around and it's new... so why not? First look at their available dishes to go with my plain rice... well, it does look appetizing enough. I decide to go for my safe choice of 1 meat and 2 vegs since I didn't know the price of it at first trial. chose the curry pork, kang kong and another green vegetables. Total cost came up to be $3.60. Quite pricey I feel

Total cost came up to be $3.60. Quite pricey I feel as other places will charged around $3-$3.50 for the same dishes selected. Realized my friend's packet lunch cost much lesser than mine and she had 2 meats and and 1 vegs! Doesn't leave a good impression since then as they charged not accordingly... Taste wise, it was ok. Not that bad though for the curry pork (taste more like rendang) The green vegetables is a bit oily and for the kangkong.. I would prefer it to be with sambal rather than fry with garlic.

Heading over there for lunch is probably one of the best choice if you're working in town. Cheap and fast, the food taste good. This place is pretty pack during peak hours however, they cater to about 30 places? Would be good if you head down earlier. The fried egg taste really good but the rice... is a little watery however, you pay $3-4 for a meal like this, we shouldn't be complaining. The mee siam there not bad too.

Happen to pass by this cafe during lunch time and decided to give it a try on their hor fun since is their today's special item. The food was served to me in less than ten minutes, which is consider quite prompt and affection. The portion may look quite generous but I am quite disappointed by the taste as the gravy is quite plain and bland. The broad rice noodles did not cooked till dark brown colour which make the dish taste even plainer.

The large bowl of Lor Mee I collected is definitely worth the three dollar I have paid. The gravy is appropriately sticky and thick, which is what a typical Lor Mee should be. But ISLE Cafe has killed the competitors with added amount of ingredients and even thrown in a big fried wanton. How could a Lor mee be complete without the minced garlic, chilli sauce and black vinegar? ISLE Cafe is generous in providing these condiments in case you are the one who love that extra kick! Simply delicious
