Wolf Bargain($12 meal with main + drink + gst at a restaurant in Orchard possible?)

-


The answer is YES. I was introduced to the express lunch at Marche Movenpick@Somerset 313 by my friend, Dalip from Value investments group chat which happens to be my lunch kaki for the day. The express lunch menu came out during the height of covid 19 pandemic where many restaurants were left struggling with few customers after the circuit breaker. They had continue to keep the price low. 

The restaurant offers express lunch on weekday 11am to 3pm daily. I had pan fried sea bass fillet with a glass of Lemonade. The taste is superb. The fillet is served with greens and mash potato. Sea bass is top off with lemon sauce. The lemon sauce goes very well with the fillet without overpowering the fish. Fillet is crisp on the skin and soft inside. The portion is generous too.

My friend had an oxtail stew with garlic bread. Oxtail stew at $10.90+ is comparable to price of having a meal with drink at a food court in Orchard Road. We had a dessert set at $6.90+ each that come with a choice of coffee and cake. It was an enjoyable end to our lunch. 


The menu does change from week to week. Do check the website for the latest menu. I snap a copy of the menu for next week. One could have a sirloin and a drink for less than 12 bucks. That is cheaper than the next de facto leader of low price western food joint,Hans cafe. Marche express lunch start from $9.90+. It makes dining in Orchard lighter on the pocket during weekdays.

I will definitely be wolfing around in Orchard for more express lunch. 🐺🐺🐺

  (Credit: Yahoo Finance; Last index high of 3900 in 2007, 16 years and counting. Lost decade of Singapore Market) I spent two nights thinking about this write up since it is a subject close to my heart. The passion and concern I had for our stock market are real. I hope SGX can see my commentary in a positive light. It is about solving problem that matters, no witch-hunting was intended. During my last monthly update. I am critical about SGX for not doing enough to promote the vibrancy of our stock market. After the blog, I have been getting more SGX senior executives looking at my LinkedIn profile. I hope people at SGX can see it as constructive criticism. I want to make my point of view clear before anyone get an impression that I am grinding my axe on our stock market. I love Singapore market, I am also a bull on Singaporean companies. How could I not love our stock market where I allocate most of my investment? The declining interest in our stock market did not happen overnight, i

Without knowing a word of French or local culture, she embarked on a difficult journey of communicating with her colleagues and clients, in which it resulted in miscommunication and her being the butt of the joke. Emily assumed everyone in Paris could or wanted to communicate in English. She was forced to learn the language in class so as to communicate well with her colleagues and clients. It is important to understand the language of choice in the area one operates so as to be able to communicate effectively i

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *The video
