NYLON Team Picks: What’s For Lunch?

Lunch — the only thing on the average office worker’s mind once the clock nears 12PM. At NYLON, our standard lunch hour is spent heading to any of the nearby coffee shops or food establishments (i.e. McDonalds) and buying our food back to leisurely devour it in the air-conditioned comforts of our pantry without having to scour for seats.

Fortunately for us, Toa Payoh has no shortage of good food if you know where to look. Here’s what we decided on for lunch, all conveniently located within the vicinity of our office.
