The art of eating cheap :)

Ok, not that cheap really... but being the person who is constantly looking for discounts, bargains and deals EVERYWHERE... I discovered this...

The key word is "Hi-Tea". That's right! Imagine this, you're hungry, you're looking for pretty good quality food YET you don't feel like spending too much...

Here's what you do...

Before you begin...
Save some money... approx. 50 bucks a person (maybe even cheaper)

Step 1
Starve for breakfast

Step 2
Starve for lunch

Step 3
Drive to a nearby reputable hotel (5 stars preferably)

Step 4
Go to the coffee house and see if they have "Hi-Tea Buffet"... if they do, move to Step 5 if not, go back to step 3...

Step 5
Join in the buffet and enjoy variety of food that's laid before you... all at a price that's MUCH lesser than paying for a buffet breakfast or lunch or dinner!

Step 6
Congratulate yourself for getting a great DEAL!

If you're thinking, "come on lar... no BIG DEAL wat..." - it is coz I've done a lot of research on this and pretty much EVERYTIME I do the maths, it's WAAAAAAYYYYY cheaper to eat High Tea than anything else and when it comes to variety, it's not that bad either :)

Using my six precious steps above, I went through this lately... :)

Half the spread...

Not bad eh? All that for less than 50! Of course, this is not something you'll indulge in daily... but hey, life is about food... it's ok to spoil yourself once in a while... ;) Plus... you get to save on 2 meals! If you eat enough, you might even be able to save on dinner!
