The following restaurants in Singapore are divided into three categories:
Expensive (over $ 200)
Moderate ( $ 80 to $ 200)

It is the average price for a three-course meal or the price of a bottle of the cheapest wine or a comparable drink, without taxes and service charge.
A 10% service charge, 7% value added tax and a further state fee of 1% are added to the restaurant bill. This 18 percent fee is called ‘triple plus’ and is mandatory. A tip is also not required.
