A personal favorite of mine… and great place for cheap eats is Rice Bar.

For $10 or less you can get a huge helping of rice (jasmine, basmati, infused… or noodles) with veg, meat (chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu) and your choice between a variety of savoury sauces (such the excellent cocunut curry or black olive + vanilla options). You can never go wrong with such an order, its delicious, cheap and might just lead to leftovers.

In addition to their typical rice fare they make some pretty standout salads and appetizers (such as the delicious korean pizza), plus there’s always some specials and tasty deserts on the menu.

Finally… it’s not quite as cheap as lunch/dinner fare… but still a deal, Rice Bar also happens to make a stupendous brunch. They make some stellar eggs + hollandaise + toppings dishes, and an amazing (and likely not so healthy) dish called world toast… persian sweet bread topped with chocolate and a pomegranate maple syrup (mmmmm!).

As a bonus, you don’t need to feel so bad eating their food… all veg and rice is organic… all meat and eggs, free range.

Check out their menus (Dinner - Brunch), and head down to kensington to get yourself some mighty tasty cheap eats.
