Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Sam's Grill, located within Temasek Polytechnic's Designer Pad, consistently receives high praise for its restaurant-quality Western food at hawker prices.

Chef Sam, with extensive experience in hotels and F&B establishments, personally prepares the dishes, a detail frequently highlighted by patrons.

Reviewers consistently point to the mixed grills, featuring tender chicken and crispy, flavourful fish, as a standout.

The mushroom soup is also noted for its creamy texture and umami depth.

We also see mentions of a unique green curry spaghetti, showcasing a fusion twist.

The value proposition is strong, with multiple comments on the reasonable pricing for the quality offered.

While the location might seem out of the way for some, the consensus is that the food justifies the journey.

We think this is a strong contender for a satisfying and affordable Western meal, especially if you're in the East or don't mind the travel.
