It is very common for most Sporean families to eat out these days as few people want to cook and wash up after dinner. I had mine at a Zi Char (cooked food) stall at a coffeeshop at Yishun St 11. The food is very nicely cooked and the price is quite reasonable.
As I am too hungry while waiting for my ordered dishes to come, I ordered a plate of fruits rojak (from another stall) to fill my tummy. Rojak is a local salad where pineapple, guava, green apple, turnip, cucumber slices, toasted dough fritters and fried beancurd skin (tau pok) are mixed with shrimp paste, assam water, sugar, grounded peanut powder, grinded ginger flower and beansprouts.
Broccoli with Pork Ribs marinated with honey and orange juice $12
Deep Fried Handmade Tofu Cooked with Broccoli and Braised Mushroom $8
I also ordered a big bowl of Fish Maw Soup cooked with seafood ($6 serving fills up 6 small bowls) and a plate of prawns omelette ($4). I ordered the smallest serving size for all the dishes ordered and it is adequate to feed 3-4 people.
The stall also serves all patrons with a bowl of longan with cube orange jelly on the house. Very good service by the serving staff too. I would definitely go back again for dinner.
Total Bill came up to $31.50. Really worth it
