New in town: Uncle Lim's Diner – huge $7.90 chicken cutlets in Bukit Merah
On 3 Jun, 2 months after starting business, Uncle Lim's Diner has finally opened a physical stall at a coffeeshop in Lengkok Bahru. It serves familiar Western comfort dishes ranging from chicken cutlets to pan-seared salmon at hawker prices. This stall is run by a couple who have been selling these Western-inspired dishes from their home in Woodlands since April 2025. Customers could only place their orders through GrabFood or by contacting Jeremy (Uncle Lim) directly for self-pickup, which made it inaccessible to those living beyond the Woodlands vicinity. Uncle Lim's Diner's very first outlet in Bukit Merah, though still not in a central location, at least allows patrons to feast on warm, freshly cooked meals on the spot. Even if you're unfamiliar with the area, it'll be hard to miss their neon red signboard adorned with a checkered border, reminiscent of an old-school Western diner in the U.S. It's giving retro, and I love it! I'm dying to try their Crispy Chicken Cutlet w/ Fries (S$7.90). For this large portion, in this economy? Bang for your buck indeed. The cutlet comes with a generous portion of marie rose aioli on top, which is essentially a more atas version of your mayochup (mayonnaise + ketchup). How often can you find salmon in a kopitiam? At Uncle Lim's Diner, the Pan-seared Salmon (S$12.50) comes with home-made Coleslaw and your choice of side between Fries, Pilaf Rice, Aglio Olio and Mashed Potatoes, all at the same price. Don't overlook their sides either, especially the Nacho Chips (S$6.50) and Fries Grande (S$6), which come with Uncle Lim's home-made Guacamole. Students in the area, let this be your next after-school lunch fix! Simply flash your student ID to redeem 10% off your meal. Not a student? Uncle Lim's S$5 Chicken Wing w/ Pilaf Rice budget meal is your best bud. Head down to support Uncle Lim's Diner's opening for XL chicken cutlets and an old-school retro vibe!

Ease, variety and speed: How GrabFood serves expats
Time Out Bangkok in partnership with Grab Thailand It's no surprise that Thailand holds a reputation as a top tourism hotspot and there's proof to back it up. The kingdom has been named Travel + Leisure's 2025 Destination of the Year. With this recognition, it's natural to see a growing number of expats making their way to the country. One big reason? The food scene. Bangkok was named Time Out's second-best city for food in 2025 and it's easy to see why. The city buzzes with street food stalls and upscale international restaurants that showcase its global community. But it's not just the capital that shines – other top destinations for expatriates each have their own unique charm. Chiang Mai invites those seeking a relaxed pace with cosy cafes and rich northern Thai flavours. Phuket offers fresh seafood and tropical tastes set against stunning beach backdrops. Pattaya is where local delights sit comfortably alongside international favourites. Together, these cities highlight the diverse lifestyle and rich food culture that make the kingdom a favourite among foreigners. However, as much as we love exploring the food scene, going out for a go-to dish isn't always easy, especially with traffic, long queues and the magnetic pull of the couch. That's where GrabFood rides in. *According to a survey by Kantar, GrabFood is the number 1 food delivery app in Thailand (most often used brand in 2024). With their service, expats and locals alike can enjoy scrumptious meals anytime, anywhere – delivered right to their door. Browse the menu in English for a hassle-free experience For expats and travellers, figuring out what to eat in a food-rich country like Thailand can be a challenge especially when language gets in the way. Not every restaurant has an English menu and trying to decipher unfamiliar dishes on the spot can feel a bit overwhelming. With GrabFood, many spots on the app include translations, making it easier to browse, choose and order without second-guessing what's in each dish. Fast delivery in 30 minutes or less Living in Thailand can sometimes turn grabbing your favourite food into a bit of an adventure especially when the language barrier slows things down or your go-to spots are miles away. When hunger hits, a long trip isn't exactly ideal. Sometimes, you just want to skip the travel hassle and get straight to the best flavours. GrabFood makes things get a whole lot easier. You're likely to get your meal in just 30 minutes – over 70 percent of nearby orders make it within that time (excluding Saver Delivery). And if it takes longer? You'll get a small reward for your next order. Not a bad trade-off for staying comfy at home. A smorgasbord of tasty eats to pick from One of the best things about Thailand's food scene is its sheer variety. From Isaan's spicy som tam and grilled chicken to northern rich khao soi, southern-style curries or even a sweet cup of Thai tea, there's always something to satisfy your cravings. Thanks to GrabFood, sampling all kinds of dishes is easier than ever, no matter which city you live in. Whether it's street food from Bangkok's Yaowarat, desserts from a cafe in Chiang Mai, seafood in Phuket's Old Town or a comfort meal in Pattaya's Walking Street, just a few taps and it's on its way. With so many choices, deciding what to eat might be the toughest part.
