Lest you’re unaware, Thomson Road is home to many delicious foods if you’re wondering what to eat.

If you are in town and looking for an affordable and good place to eat, there are really no alternatives besides Food Republic or fast food restaurants. Plus, these places only satisfy the “affordable” part and not really the “good” part.

If you have time, why not head over to Thomson Road at Novena, which is just a few stops away from Orchard station? We promise that the 10 mins spent are going to be well worth it!
