This is (for sure) a common question that almost everyone here in Singapore would have faced at least once in their life. Some of the commonly asked questions for outings in Singapore:
Where to eat?
Cheap or not?
Can fit everyone?
Yes, can it fit everyone? All of your friends, colleagues maybe even your entire kampung.
Kampung is a traditional village usually in rural parts of a country, a term mainly used in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
One of our Community members, Steph Yeo, asked:
In case you can’t view the image,
“What are some recommended restaurants good for groups ranging from 10 to 25? E.g. for department celebrations, farewell lunches/dinners etc. Budget preferable within $50/pax. Thanks in advance!”
– Steph Yeo
For this article, and because we are Seedly, we will be looking at cheaper alternatives with a budget of $30 per person.

Baked liu sha bao and colourful har gow yes please.
A post shared by Travis (@travlim) on Jan 19, 2015 at 9:51pm PST
You have to try the liu sha bao (custard bun), crispy on the outside, really different from everywhere else. I am not a fan of custard bun but if it takes a lot for a non-believer to recommend that to you.

Posted @withrepost • @cindi1601 Not exactly a garlic person, but @madforgarlicsg surprised me with their huge array of dishes that actually brings garlic to another level!

Have you ever tried A4 Kagoshima Wagyu? On the outside, the steak was tender and smokey while the inside was succulent and dripping with flavourful savoury juices. It tastes heavenly especially when you pair it with the rich buttery flavor of Foie Gras on the side ? ?:@weiweiinsg
