delicious noodles

I order mushroom kolo new and braised toufu rice. My kids like the soup and noodles and ingredients like beans and toufu is nice.
Toufu rice is nice with cucumber salad

King oyster mushroom kolo mee

This is my first time eating at this stall and I tried the king oyster mushroom kolo mee ($4.80). Even though the noodles looks very plain, but the sauce was very flavorful despite it being a healthy dish. The noodle was cooked just nice and had a springy texture. However, the portion was quite small and I felt only half full after finishing the noodles. The ingredients were fresh and most of the ingredients used were organic and I am not complaining about the price though. I just wished the portions were a bit bigger and I wouldn't mind paying more for it.

Pros: Healthy, Flavorful

Cons: Small portion

Delicious Lei Cha!:)

The lei cha is $6.80, but super worth it IMO. Healthy ingredients, not overpowering ‘cha’! They also have lei cha ramen and other dishes, but the lei cha is my favourite from this stall.

Opening hours- it’s mentioned that it’s closed on Sundays, but if 初一 / 初十五 falls on Sunday then they will be open.

Pros: organic, healthy

Cons: none

Yummy, healthy ramen

Really liked the chewy texture of the ramen & how the noodle base & the soup aren’t too salty. I’d have preferred a thicker soup, but that’s just my personal taste xP The price is pretty reasonable, considering that most of the ingredients are organic! :)

Pros: Yummy, Healthy, Affordable

Amazing thunder tea rice at good prices!

The taste really blew me away - it was so hearty and tasty that I couldn't stop eating it. The tea was a bit too strong for my liking but the rice was really delicious.

one of the best I’ve tried

Love the thunder tea rice here! The owner is extremely friendly! I recommend you to specially request for their homemade chilli to pair with the thunder tea rice (note: it’s extremely spicy!)

Organic and locally sourced

They use mainly organic ingredients sourced from a local organic farm.
None of those MSG, artificial flavour or artificial colouring.
The portion can be a bit small for some.
Dishes that I recommend:
Thunder Tea Rice 擂茶飯
Mushroom Kolo Mee 香菇哥羅面,
Toona Fried Rice 香椿炒飯

Delicious!

Had the fried rice because I'm allergic to peanuts and it was phenomenal. Good portion with a side of soup and salad.

Pros: Great portion size, Value for money, Friendly

Cons: Located in basement food court, don't bother about
