Remember all that hoo-ha over Singapore’s first vending machine cafe that opened in Sengkang? Well, if you don’t live anywhere near the North-East part of the island, you probably didn’t bother popping by — unless your curiosity got the better of you. Anyway, two more vending machine cafes have since sprouted up — and this time, both are a little more accessibly located at MRT stations: One at Ang Mo Kio, and the other at Lakeside.

Hailed as Singapore’s first vending machine cafes in MRT stations (such a specific honor), Chef-in-Box VendCafé serves up a pretty affordable range of cuisines, including Chinese, Western, Malay, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Spanish and Italian.

With this launch, the cafe is also offering 10 new dishes ($4-$5.90), including fried carrot cake, Thai green curry chicken, and paella — these plates will be part of a menu selection that features more than 90 food and drink options. Other plates to try include nasi lemak, onigiri, and black pepper salmon.

Check out how the vending machine cafe works below.

Chef-in-Box VendCafé is at #01-01 Ang Mo Kio MRT and #01-06 Lakeside MRT. Daily 7am-11pm.
