If you haven’t visited CHIJMES in a while, you’ll find plenty of reasons to return.
The historic complex is buzzing with new restaurants and cafés, each offering its own take on lunchtime specials.
Many of these spots offer new Midday Meal Deals, turning CHIJMES into one of the city’s best destinations for a satisfying lunch.
Whether you’re after Korean fried chicken, hearty Japanese sets, fresh Thai plates, or something as simple as a good coffee and cake, there’s a deal to suit every taste and mood.
With options like modern rice bowls at Almost Famous, classic noodle and rice sets at Lebua Thai, and warming broths at Broth & Beyond, there’s no shortage of variety.
Let’s check out some of the recommended Midday Meal Deals at CHIJMES:
Broth & Beyond
CHIJMES #B1-01/02
Craving hotpot? Broth & Beyond serves hotpot that actually stands out for its depth of flavour.
If you drop by for lunch, the Midday Meal Deal is great value. You get a broth of your choice, a plate of meat, a big tray of vegetables, and your pick of rice or noodles.
The meats are sliced fresh and the vegetable platter always arrives crisp.
Broth choices include Pork Broth, Spicy Broth, Spring Water Broth, Premium Golden Umami Broth, Black Truffle Assorted Mushroom Broth, Tomato Broth, Spicy + Pork Bone Broth, and Vegetarian Tom Yum Broth.
I recommend the Premium Golden Umami Broth because it is slow simmered with chicken and dried scallops.
There is this silky texture and a deep, savoury umami flavour that lingers without feeling heavy.

50% Usual Price – Choice of Broth & Meat with vegetables and rice & noodles at $29.90++ only (11:30am – 5pm daily)

The bistro keeps things lively with bold, punchy dishes that show off real Sichuan cooking. Dishes are great for sharing, so bring along a friend.
The Lunch Set for 2 ($62++) gives you a full meal with a balance of flavours and textures.
You get dried bamboo shoots cooked with cured pork, which brings a savoury and earthy taste.
The sautéed chicken with green peppers is my favourite dish here. It features tender chicken pieces and a real hit of heat from the fresh green chillies
Loofah stewed with farm eggs adds a softer, almost creamy element to the meal. Two bowls of Wuchang’s fragrant rice complete the set, perfect for soaking up the rich sauces.

For lunch, Almost Famous keeps things interesting with modern Korean rice bowls.
You pick from mains like buldak chicken, mapo pork, pork belly, or beef skirt steak (our recommendation), and get to add any two sides.
The side options are far from boring, with choices like fried chicken karaage, rose topokki, bulgogi chicken and spicy pork belly, so every bowl can be different.
Portions are generous and the flavours come together well, making it a lunch that feels both hearty and daebak.
