Munchie Monkey

Okay, I know of a great place for all of you who study in NUS (or not). It's called, as the title says, Munchie Monkey. Here's the address:

31 Lower Kent Ridge Road
Yusof Ishak House Level 3
National University of
Singapore

It's a really great place, not only for students but for the general public. It serves Western / Italian food.

The price is VERY reasonable. Prices are almost half those at other Spageddies outlets. Okay, here is a list of what I like and dislike.

LIKES:

1) Cheap food. It's (almost) half the price of the food in "Spageddies"

2) Quality of the food is there, too. I personaly find the mushroom soup better than other "Spageddies" outlets.

3) Free flow of plain water - self service. So, you can just go get the water yourself from a "tank"instead of relying on the waitstaff.

4) Cozy environment.

5) Dessert menu is miles better than "Spageddies"

DISLIKES:

1) Only cash is accepted. So keep those cards at home.

2) Obviously, the distance. It's all the way across town ( I live in the East!) but yet again, IT IS for students.

3) The wait for garlic bread just somehow seems longer - but it's a minor problem I guess. I don't know why, but for the past few times I went, we had to wait for quite a while for it to arrive.

Trust me, you wouldn't have much to complain about. I normally have the following when I go and would recommend them for vegetarians :

1) MUSHROOM SOUP! Without a doubt. Contains chunks of Mushrooms.

2) Healty Tomato sauce - choose your pasta type.

3) Primavera. Mixed veggies in something like garlic flavoured olive oil. An alternative to the Aglio E Olio.

4) Chocolate Brownie/Italian Chocolate Cake

5) Apple Cobbler

You could consider the Garlic Bread but it's just So-So.

I personally would give this place a high 9/10.

Enjoy.
