Just head to the hawker center. $3 to $4 can get already, extra noodles and a few more wantons.
Half-ball Vivien, will ask you, " what you want"??. I have eaten at that Restaurant at Gateway & paid for that Wanton Mee at that price, the soup is not too bad, overall it is just average food, nothing special. It is just out of the escalator from the MRT Station, hungry, lazy to walk across the road.
How to get $3 - $4 food at Somerset area these days??, in the recent past, you could head to Cuppage Food Centre ( now gone) Now at centrepoint basement, you have Kopi-Tiam, or go to Cuppage Plaza.....Isle Cafe, fried bee hoon etc. plus drinks, come to $4.50 & there is a Wanton Noodle shop there too, plus a "yeong tow fu" stall, & others. In the past, one could also head to Kiliney Rd to eat, now, it is being upmarketed, prices had gone up or to PUB Building ( now 111 Somerset), where there was a canteen or next door a food court.....
Orchard Gateway Wanton Noodle at that Restaurant is reasonable for that area, they have roast pork char siew, roast duck etc. rice too...If cannot afford, don't eat there. I have eaten at that stretch of malls, at two other Restaurants, one at the extreme corner of 313 Somerset & some others I forgot, & bought bread etc from Marcie & eaten at Marcie a couple of times.
I forgot, cross the road using the Pedestrian Crossing at 313, Midland House basement, there is a food court too...but $3-$4 meal, not possible. My point is, you are at Orchard Road/ Somerset Area....you expect to get a $3-$4 meal??. You can't afford the $10.40 Wanton Noodle..don't eat, why complain?.
