The cool thing about karaoke sessions is that we don’t take the singing too seriously. We’ll never forget the unfortunate incidents where we messed up the lyrics to iconic songs, and the times we tried to keep up with Eminem’s raps. It’s such shared moments of embarrassment that strengthen familial and friendship bonds, and provide some lighthearted fun amidst the daily stresses of life.
If you need ideas for a get-together with your loved ones, look no further than a crazy singing marathon. From cute cat-themed KTV rooms to sleek classy ones, here’s a list of the cheapest karaoke places. And don’t worry, none of these are lupsup!
This ‘fortune cat’ KTV is gaining popularity for its Karaoke-plus-buffet package, which covers a 3-hour karaoke session, and an international buffet spread (For lunch, $15++ on weekdays, $25++ on weekends. For dinner, $35++ from Mon to Thu & Sun, $45++ for Fri & Sat).
Also included in the deal are free-flow drinks to soothe your parched throats from all that singing and screaming, as well as complimentary snacks and soft serve ice-cream.
Note: This buffet is only offered at Manekineko’s Orchard Cineleisure outlet, available daily between 11am to 3pm (lunch), and 6pm to 10pm (dinner).
Manekineko’s rooms are easily the brightest and most attractive KTV rooms around, with that unmistakable cat mascot adorning the walls. With an insanely wide collection of 150,000 songs that are constantly updated, you can be sure to belt out your favourite K-drama OSTs, the latest chart-toppers, or the best of Beyonce.

This noraebang (Korean for ‘song room’) is run by a friendly Korean dude who wishes to provide patrons flexibility in karaoke session timings. Here, you pay by the number of songs you belt instead of the number of hours clocked – in coins! You’re only charged $1 for every 2 songs, so hop over for a quick one if you’re somehow stuck in town and need to pass time.
Designed specially for those who enjoy singing alone or as part of a duo, most of Voicebooth’s rooms accommodate a maximum of two each. However, their largest room can accommodate 8 to 10 people. Pop by before 6pm if you wish to enjoy the pay-per-song deal, ‘cause anytime after that and you’ll have to book a room at $20 per hour – though that’s decently affordable too, if you were to split the cost.
If you’re normally one to play your musical instruments at home for hours on end, you can do your neighbours a favour by practising here instead – because Voicebooth’s karaoke system can transform from lyric screen to music score display in an instant!
Price: $1 for every 2 songs, $10 – $20 (room booking)

Tang Music Box’s biggest draw is certainly their concept minimart. Offering a wide array of munchies – even Japanese snacks – we’re not sure if we’d end up snacking more than singing.

To make your feel even more at home, the friendly staff will go the extra mile offer blankets if you’re feeling chilly.
Although there’s a “minimum spending” per room, this amount is equivalent to cash credits, which you can use to stock up on the scrumptious snacks.
