Meal ideas for the weekend, from healthy to indulgent

Sengkang residents now have new food option at Rivervale Plaza, where they can stroll to for a breakfast with the family over the weekend.

Those who want to venture a bit further from home can head to VivoCity for a platter of beef.

Of course, if it happens to pour this weekend, you can choose to hole up instead – and order a tingkat service.

Whatever your choice, here are options you can consider for the weekend meal.

1. Barossa beefs up its menu

Barossa Steak & Grill has premiered a newly refreshed menu, spotlighting hearty eats such as Trio Cuts Of Australia Grass-Fed Beef ($105) and Seafood Bouillabaisse ($58).

Not to be missed is the Buffalo Cauliflower ($14), promising crunch and flavour in every bite.

The VivoCity restaurant offers a gorgeous waterfront view, with live music every Thursday to Saturday from 7.30pm onwards.

End your meal on a sweet note with desserts like the Aburi Brulee Cheesecake ($18), embellished with summer berries, raspberry gel and butter cookies.

2. hidden gem in sengkang

Chomp, which opened at Rivervale Plaza in June, is all about nostalgia - and curry.

Customers can enjoy breakfast offerings as early as 7.30am or as late as 9pm at the eatery that also has a retro ice pop cart at its entrance.

The Curry Toast Benedict With Crispy Dahfa Codfish made a hearty, belly-warming meal. Can't go wrong with soft eggs on toast but the curry under the toast and the crispy fish sheet added a kick to the flavours.

Wash it down with kopi, teh or yuan yang from the Ice Boom Series – tall glasses overflowing with drink froth.

Chomp also offers rice platters in the style of Hainanese curry rice.

3. healthy meal at home 

Why cook when you can have someone else slave over the stove for you?
