Eating Cheap with Hachi Tei

No plus plus! That definitely gets Hachi Tei into the list of cheap eats. The couple-run family restaurant located opposite the Thian Hock Keng Temple used to serve Japanese meals in China Square.

It was my second time visiting this restaurant. Set meals cost only 10.00 to 20.00 SGD nett. I had the Cha Soba Set (10.00 nett SGD), which includes a serving of soba with shreds of seaweed, a slice of fruit, 4 pieces of maki sushi, two cubes for fried tofu and a bowl of miso soup.

The soba was quite tasty together with the dip (I thought it was buckwheat soba rather than cha soba though) and I enjoyed the maki sushi which comes with rather generous amount of ingredients. The meal was filling enough and green tea was complimentary.

The food might not be mind-blowing but it was decent and unpretentious. Furthermore, I also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere that Hachi Tei provides.
