Orchard is one of the more difficult places to try to dine affordably as a group. Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut, however, is a spicy glimmer of hope. Located on the first floor of Lucky Plaza, manoeuvre your way to this comfortable space away from the bustle for a simple yet satisfying meal. This restaurant chain from Indonesia is known for its Original Smash Fried Chicken with Rice ($7.90) and the Original Crispy Fried Duck with Rice ($9.90). These individual sets come with rice, tofu, tempeh and salad on the side, so no sharing is necessary. Marinated in a savoury blend of secret spices, the meats are tasty and very crisp on the outside. For something a little different, try the Crispy Fried Duck in Green Chili with Rice ($9.90). Otherwise, feel free to choose your own adventure, — it’ll be great no matter what.

Avg Price: $10 per person

We ordered the gado gado ($6.50) for sharing, which was a good source of additional vege. The peanut sauce is superb! Was scooping it and piling onto the taukua and tempei. Yum yum! Xoxo, wet tissue no have

You might need ear plugs because the fried chicken is covered in a batter with the most resounding crunch! Douse it in their house-made garlicky chilli sauce for maximum yumminess. Although the fried rice can be a little clumpy in parts (probably from being slightly damp during the frying), its tastiness level still ranks pretty high to me. Super "shiok" when eaten with the pickled green chillies.
