Cuppage Isle Cafe

Came here at Sunday.. to try asian delights.. Budget food around Orchards area... The price is affordable and the foods were acceptable as well. Portion is OK too.. The beverages also not bad. I tried KoPi Siew Dai $1.20sgd.. Teh @$1.20sgd Plenty of seats for Dine in Unfortunately the parking rate is $1.50 for 1st and $1sgd for subsequent hour.. Suitable for ppl working around this area.. Got fruits as well..

Tucked in a the corner of the building, but it's not difficult to spot during the busy lunch hour. Due to the variety of food and it's pretty clear friendly choices, there is always a long Q. U can get your drinks to main courses to fruits and snacks all in one place. Every staff is busy but you can also see how coordinated they are. I had rice and chose a few dishes to go with. Everything was still hot and hence, makes it delicious. It cost me less than than $4. They are generous with chilli..so it's a little bit spicy. You may want to pick those non spicy dishes if you cant stand the heat. However, being in an old building with such a crowd means, the ventilation is bad....even though it's in a corner, you tend to catch some smell on your clothes and hair.

I was staying in a nearby hotel off Orchard Road that was within walking distance to Cuppage Plaza where "Isle Cafe" is located. This is one of those places where you point to what you want and they will add it to your tray. It is open in the morning and I have eaten here as late as 730pm when they start to pack up for the day. The food is a fresh and delicious selection of Chinese and Malay food. Surprises include delicious grilled fish. Ample seating nearby. And the prices are extremely reasonable. I was staying in the area for about three weeks and I easily had a dozen meals here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Love the brown rice with a huge variety of dishes available to go with! There’s always some new dishes almost everyday. And very reasonably priced. The staff is also very polite and helpful. In fact the pricing of the food is cheaper than some heartland areas. Take away for upsize hot tea is just $1.30! Highly recommended for those whose unto brown rice and healthier dishes!

In today’s lifestyle, it’s embarrassing to tell people you want something “cheap and good”. But at Isles Cafe at Cuppage Plaza, that’s exactly what you get — very good n cheap ‘cai png’. And in an air-con setting too. There are so many dishes to choose from n you can have them with brown rice or white rice. I’ve eaten here many times and everything I’ve tried had been yummy. Even the hot tea n coffee were good. They also have noodles (prawn noodles, lor mee, etc), economical bee hoon and snacks (the orange coloured mashed tapioca is my favourite). The location in the city centre next to Centrepoint makes it convenient for tourists visiting the Orchard Road shopping belt to stop by to try authentic local food in a clean n cool setting.
