Can outside meals ever be convenient, affordable and healthy all at once?<\/p>\n

Stomper David<\/b><\/span> is disappointed in the low quality of some of his meals, noting that they are salty, greasy and expensive.<\/p>\n

“I had curry rice from Encik Tan at SingPost Centre for $5.50,” he said. “The chicken was over-fried and the meat slices were so thin with thick batter. Too much oil was used. The sunny side-up was a failure and the vegetable portion was reduced by 25%.”<\/p>\n

The Stomper felt that one could get a similar dish at a food court for “the same price but better value”.<\/p>\n

He also took issue with a takeaway bento he bought from Don Don Donki at Northpoint City.<\/p>\n

“After consuming it, I drank one litre of plain water to quench my thirst,” he added. “I wonder what spices or sauce caused the dehydration!”<\/p>\n
