Some of our readers request for recommendations of affordable Chinese restaurants in Singapore. Others are more direct and ask for suggestions for good and cheap Chinese restaurants in Singapore. The logic is clear. For big celebrations, the well-known Chinese restaurants need no introduction. But for dining out with no special occasion such as a gathering of friends or family for dinner, a simple affordable Chinese restaurant in Singapore will do. We hope that this list will be of help to our readers. We have provided links to our reviews which have more pictures of the respective restaurants, food and menus.
