Nothing is free in Singapore. You even have to pay for the water that you order with your food. No, they do not serve normal water here. Only mineral waters that cost a minimum of $2 are available. So I was pleasantly surprised when I happened to come by this place which serves free food on one of my spiritual pursuits. Here is the address:
Buddhist Lodge,
17 Kim Yam Road
Singapore, 239329
Phone: 6235 8564
This place has been serving free food four times a day for the last 20 years and is still doing so. Since it is a Buddhist charity, only the vegetarian meals are served.
Recently, due to economic recession the visitors to this place have increased. Many Buddhist worshipers and also some unskilled workers visit this place. So if you are down on luck in Singapore then it may be good idea to visit Buddhist Lodge. Besides, this place has huge statues of Buddha and you can join in prayers or meditation there. It is just about 15 minutes (by walking) from Orchard, the main center in Singapore.
