Ordered the braised firm tofu + long beans — the savoury-sweet braised sauce was super
flavourful and had a strong taste of star anise as usual :’) Long beans are on the oiler side. Super affordable at $2.50!

What a typical lunch looks like when I go to office once a week! 🍢
Feat:
sweet pumpkin stir-fried with fragrant curry leaves, crunchy kang kong, soft braised tofu with a hint of Thai-style savoury-sweet sauce & bee hoon (rice vermicelli).
This costs $3; I usually pay $3.30/$3.50/$3.70 for meals when I order processed protein dishes. Highly recommend their v flavourful curry ‘mutton’ balls which are made from mushrooms & soy!
Really appreciate the existence of this stalllll :’)
This time I ordered smth new — the braised or hong shao soy-based ‘fish’! Tastes
sweet & savoury with a bit of umami from the bit of seaweed. Pretty huge chunks & paired well with the tangy, sweet & savoury stir-fried kelp! Added sweet potato leaves for some fibre to complete the meal :) #economicalbeehoon #fish
Rare item today — savoury-sweet fried tempeh! The tempeh was an actual whole chunk (like
one entire brown paper banana leaf pack) so that was v generous :O $3.50 for this whole plate! #tempeh
The kailan here is on the bitter side whoops; not sure if it was just
for that day. The tasty sweet & savoury teriyaki soy nuggets were the highlight of the meal! #economicalbeehoon
That day they had sweet & sour lemon ‘chicken’!! :D Paired with gourd & Chinese
spinach. V tasty but was sad about the sudden use of disposables for dine-in D:
Second fav mix — spinach, gourd & braised tofu / textured soy protein cubes with
a mild five-spice fragrance! $3.30 :)
Go-to dishes all in one plate — roasted sweet pumpkin, kang kong & curry ‘mutton’
+ potato & a mix of maggie mee & bee hoon :’) Just $3.30!
Glistening with oil whoops but here’s the regular weekly lunch fare of pumpkin, crunchy veggies
(a mix of kailan + sweet potato leaves for that day) + a daily special (sweet & subtly tangy tempeh with crisp edges)!
Best combi — mixed noodles & bee hoon, gorgeously sweet pumpkin, cauliflower & broccoli and
decadent potato & soy-and-mushroom-based ‘mutton’ chunks in rendang sauce :’)
