SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Changes to the national budget meal scheme announced on Jan 10 could see the range of such offerings in Housing Board coffee shops shrink, but diners remain unfazed.

Many told The Straits Times that they do not specifically seek out budget meals – which are often smaller, pared-down versions of regular dishes – because of the lack of variety. Stallholders also said budget meals are not typically as popular as their other offerings.
