Hainan Cooked Food Stall

After changing my job, I seldom get to hang out in the Mountbatten area thus when I had the chance to visit Jalan Batu Food Centre, I jumped at the chance to have my favourite hainanese chap chye bng (economic rice).
Popular items are always one of the chops (chicken or pork, both are equally awesome), the sam zum ba (directly translated as three-​layer pork) — braised to perfection, the pork belly is a MUST-​Try.
For those who enjoy curry, they also have curry chicken and other accompanying vegetables and omelette to choose from.
Dont take my word for it but from the way the queue forms during lunch time and the faces of the people queuing with an expectation to be satisfied with good food can guarantee you a good meal at an affordable price. For 2 meats and 1 veg, the price was about $ 3.50.
I’m totally salivating just thinking about it. Gawd!

This economic rice or cai fan stall in Jalan Batu Food Centre attracts the longest lunch queue, and for good reason at that. It’s good and its cheap — $ 2.50 for a plate of yummy pork chop, taupok and egg omelette… where do you get food for less than $ 3 nowadays! The stall owners are amiable but they tend to give you less rice when they see you’re a girl (and a good thing for me too, I tend not to finish rice when they pile it on!). Still, good, quick and cheap are qualities I approve when it comes to hawker food!
