In search of delectable food to impress your date without burning a hole in your pocket? You�??re at the right place. After much deliberation, here are our top 4 picks for your special dinner date.

P.S. We have a secret tip waiting for you at the end of the article so keep reading!

Wildseed Cafe

If you�??re in search of someplace away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Wildseed Cafe is worth a visit. With 2 outlets nestled in Punggol and Telok Blangah, travelling there might take some time. But when you do arrive, you�??ll be rewarded with meaningful conversations over a scrumptious meal. They serve western dishes averaging at $17, with pasta being one of the popular choices.

Indoor seating is available but if you�??re heading over in the evening, we recommend dining outdoors to enjoy the cool night breeze and fairy lights. Speaking of aesthetics, the pet-friendly cafe is nothing short of amazing. When you�??re done eating, impress your date by offering to take photos of him/her with romantic garden domes (Punggol) or pavilions (Telok Blangah) in the background.

Pro tip: The drop-off area isn�??t entirely sheltered so be sure to reach ahead of time with a brolly to keep your date dry, and make a reservation in advance!

Indoor and outdoor seating is available. However, we recommend making a reservation to secure your seats. Making your date wait is a major no-no.

MediumRare by Saveur

Catering to carnivores on a budget, MediumRare by Saveur is a steakhouse and bar based in Century Square, Tampines. Prices generally start from $18++ but they do offer value-for-money lunch sets at $16++ on weekdays if you�??re in the vicinity. Otherwise, you can look forward to mouth-watering steaks, poultry & fish, rice bowls and pasta. If you�??ve got additional cash to splash, there�??s always the option of completing your meal with draft beer or wine.

The store looks unassuming from the outside but once you head in, you�??ll be greeted with a classy interior. Set the mood with your choice of seats ranging from those out in the open, or sit at the bar countertop to recreate a scene from the movies. If you�??d like a little more privacy, opt for the space with a floral wallpaper ideal for your #foodporn shots.

Address:

2 Tampines Central 5, #01-35 Opposite OCBC Tampines, CPF Building, branch, Century Square, 529509

Sum Dim Sum

Whether you�??re into Chinese cuisines or not, you can never go wrong with dim sum. Regardless of the occasion, it�??s never a bad time for these small, yet comforting bites. Conveniently located near Jalan Besar MRT station, between big players like Swee Choon and Dim Sum Haus, Sum Dim Sum is easily identifiable by its Tiffany Blue exterior.

Similar to most dim sum restaurants, Sum Dim Sum serves a variety of steamed and fried dishes. However, they do add their own spin to some of them. For instance, their Signature Crispy Pork Buns come with a green hue from the pandan flavoring, and their Tiffany Blue Har Gow (shrimp dumpling) is derived from butterfly-pea flowers.?�

To cater to customers with big appetites, rice, congee and noodles are offered too. Expect to spend about $15 per pax.

Address:

161 Jln Besar, Singapore 208876
