I love Hainese chicken too – hard to find good ones around here. When the chicken is fresh…hmmm…makes all the difference! Love your budget.

I heard about Dona Cata quite a bit when I wrote about La Taqueria and Don Guacamoles. But I haven’t had a chance to try it. From what I’ve heard, Dona Cata’s tacos are cheaper than both La Taqueria and Don Guacamoles. Thanks for the tip LotusRapper

For a change of taste, try Dona Cata on Victoria. Definitely qualifies as Cheap Eats !

I’m glad you told me LotusRapper However, I don’t think I’ll go back there during the next a couple of weeks. just to write stories for the blog and trying to file my tax would eat up all my time this weekend and perhaps next one too. I hate doing my tax

lol. imkoonta, you’re too kind. Perhaps you should give credits to Ben from chowtimes.com instead. He wrote about this place long before I did. oh and LotusRapper who suggested me to go there. I haven’t tried Mee Rebus yet. But I definitely will. I’m glad they have some veggie dishes for vegetarian cheap appetiter too :0) Oh yeah I already tried mee goreng. it was yummy and only $4.75!

Blame me for tipping off Tana

I *need* to go to HD this long weekend. Reading about it is getting too difficult. I haven’t been since the Olympics in February.

The Mee Rebus is good ! I like 90% of their dishes, but I admit their Gado Gado and Nasi Goreng are less stellar.

i love love love this place. now that the secret is out after your review, its gonna be tough getting in for lunch apart from the chicken rice, another fav dish of mine here is mee rebus,have you tried it? the gravy is made with some kind of potato so its thick, its vegetarian and served with green chillies. its delish. after reading this, i am going to stop by after the long weekend with my best bud some chicken rice, mee goreng and possibly some mee rebus and then roll out of the restaurant!

I sure will. Thanks for the tip Lotus Rapper:) I do like lamb. I hated in when I was younger, but I grew to like it now.

Next time, try the #7 curry lamb on rice (if you like lamb). A well-done curry, IMHO, rather multi-dimensional in its taste and needs to be savoured slowly.
