The costs of living are at an all-time high. Transportation fares have spiked, electricity and gas tariffs are on the rise, and even the price of water has not been spared. Wining and dining yourself in this economy, even in the name of self-care, may seem like an extravagance.
But when the going gets tough, the tough gets going, ideally to a restaurant helmed by a chef with some Michelin restaurant pedigree without the Michelin-starred price tags. Here are 10 such places with meals averaging S$50 that guarantee maximum bang for your buck.

When the sun sets, Bincho, a humble 80-year-old kopitiam by day, transforms into an izakaya. With its industrial grit and heritage charm, the restaurant in Moh Guan Terrace whisks you away to the cyberpunk-esque alleyways of Tokyo. It’s like Alice In Borderland, but with more sake.
