Gourmet Eateries That Now Offer Delivery, Discounted Takeaway Meals From $10
Good food in the comfort of your own home.
It’s no secret that times are currently hard for everyone due to the Covid-19 outbreak. And the F&B industry, which is extremely competitive even during peaceful times, is one of the hardest-hit. Where customers usually flock to hip, semi-casual eateries for a gourmet dine-in meal, these restaurants are now offering delivery or takeaway meals to circumvent safe distancing measures.
The good thing is, these meals are also priced lower than a regular dine-in meal at the eateries (for instance, a Brisket Burger from American smokehouse Meatsmith costs $10 if you tapow it from the restaurant, compared to the usual $16 you’d have to pay if you dine in). So if you want to splurge a little to treat yourself for special occasions despite the current austere situation, or simply want to support our local F&B scene and keep them going through this tough period, read on for our list of restaurants with good tapow lobangs.
Meta
One-Michelin-starred Korean restaurant Meta is serving a self pick-up set meal ($45) with gourmet Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles with beef and veggies), Cabbage Chawanmushi, Kimchi Soup, Potato Mayo Salad, Rice and the viral Dalgona Coffee. Perfect to munch on while bingeing on Crash Landing on You.
Available from now till Apr 3, 11am-4pm. Call 65130898 to order. Self pick-up at 1 Keong Saik Road, S089108. Full menu here.
Cheek Bistro
You can now do self pick-up ordering at popular mod Australian bistro Cheek — we have tried and loved its luxe Fish & Chips ($36) with deep-fried red snapper and tangy green peas, buttery Duck & Waffle with Spiced Caramel & Cucumber ($38) and Waffle with Chicken Liver or Ricotta ($9). Worth the splurge if you’re saving your coins for a memorable meal.

The Naked Finn
Seafood specialist The Naked Finn serves up a takeaway-only menu with atas yet budget-friendly renditions of popular dishes, like the new Ngoh Hiang ($9 for a 100g piece) made with pork from the lauded Californian Salmon Creek Farm, Iberico pork and giant tiger prawns, and Dungeness Crab Chawanmushi ($9) with chopped octopus, crab meat and crab stock simmered with cage-free eggs. If you fancy something comforting yet decadent, there’s a Teochew-style Fish Soup ($30) with 120g of line-caught blue cod and a tomato, Chinese cabbage, tofu and deep-fried yam stock that’s been cooked for five hours. The Naked Finn’s sister concept Burgerlabo will also have takeaways. A Basic Burger with a 120g beef patty goes for $18.
Available for lunch and dinner, Tuesdays to Saturdays. Call 88281478 to order. Full menu here.
Esquina
Mod Spanish restaurant Esquina offers a selection of its signature dishes delivered to customers to enjoy at home. You can order a Iberico Ham Arturo Sanchez with Pan Con Tomate (feeds two pax, $30) or even the fancier Carabinero Paella (feeds three to four pax, $98) that’s served in a proper paella pan (you have to return the pan, though. A $20 deposit is required for the pan that’s refundable upon its return).
Call 62221616 to order, or e-mail info [at] esquina.com.sg (info[at]esquina[dot]com[dot]sg). At least two hours’ advance notice required. Full menu here.
