Make a pit stop at Plaza Singapura for fuss-free lunches with the colleagues. These fried buns are crisp yet fluffy come stuffed with all sorts of delightful fillings. You'll love the Yellow Chicken Curry ($3.30 for 1, $2.90 each for 3) — expect a crust that breaks apart to reveal chunks of chicken soaked in a rich curry. Another scrumptious option is their meaty Brown Beef Curry ($3.30 for 1, $2.90 each for 3) pocket. These are fried with 50% less oil so you can eat guilt-free!

Note this cosy 47-seater restaurant down for quick no-brainer bites along Church Street. Helmed by a team of six Japanese sushi chefs, expect no less but quality Osakan fare — this includes having their seafood flown in fresh every day! Highlights include their fatty Tuna Nigiri ($2.99 for two), Salmon Nigiri ($3.99) and the sweet Kyoto-style Pressed Mackerel Sushi ($4.99). For those who can't make up their mind, opt for the Hanahitohira set ($28.99) that includes 10 types of sushi, chawanmushi and sides.
