Woo! While I first started I thought it would be difficult to find something below $15.

But with that said, it’s the festive season after all so if you’ve planning to drop by with bae on Christmas eve or Christmas day itself, please call the respective outlets before going.

Merry Christmas, friends! Give your stomach a treat and enjoy a blessed time with your loved ones this Christmas.
