Consider yourself lucky if you are a student in Singapore because you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to value-for-money student meals! That’s right, being a student doesn’t mean you have to stick to boring canteen food or unhealthy fast food. Not sure where to look? Well, we’ve done your homework for you. Here are 10 value student deals under $10++ to get you through the week without skimping on food! You’re welcome.
1) Watami
Watami offers student deals with nothing over $12.90++. If you are feeling thrifty, opt for the Beef Pepper Rice Set ($8.90++) – it is the most affordable meal on their menu. All sets come with either a bowl of miso soup or rice and a drink.
I usually go for the Salmon Sashimi Rice Set, priced at $11.90++ (U.P. $15.90++), because it saves me a whopping $4 when I flash my student card! It comes with a generous portion of fish roe, fresh slices of raw salmon, and bouncy tamagoyaki. Aesthetically pleasing with plenty of vibrant elements, this is one dish you definitely have to post on Instagram Stories.

2) Pizza Hut
Only a ‘weirdough’ does not like pizza. Pizza Hut is offering student meals from $5.90++ onwards which includes a main AND free flow soft drinks.
Whenever I’m in a celebratory mood, I would pair my Pepperoni Personal Pan Pizza with cheesy fries or garlic bread for an additional $2. Otherwise, there’s also the sweet and spicy drumlets or honey roasted wings for an additional $2.50. What a steal!

If you are hatching a lunch plan, head down to Nando's for its delicious PERi-PERi chicken. Choose from one of the three student meal options which comes with 2 side dishes of your choice and Bottomless Coca-Cola drinks for only $9.90++.
Say what?!
But wait, don’t forget the free-flow drinks! The options are endless – A&W, Fanta and Sprite, just to name a few. Drinks are also categorised by low or no calories, caffeine-free, and fruit flavoured which is perfect for the health conscious.
If this is not enough, Nando's also offers Bottomless Froyo at $3.20 (U.P. $3.90) when ordered as an add on, a perk just for students!
My personal favourite is the ¼ Chicken, with a side dish of Regular PERi-PERi Chips. As an A&W fan, my choice of bottomless drink would be the A&W Cherry Vanilla (anyone else too?). It is definitely recommended to try all their addictive sauces because they give your meal that extra oomph!

By now, it may seem pretty obvious to you that I’m a huge fan of beef and garlic sauce. So, it wouldn’t be surprising for me to suggest ordering the Beef Pepper Rice. Personally, I would drown the hot plate with both sauces just because I’m a crazy sauce lady.
