The terms Cai png - 菜饭 is a mixture of vegetable and meat, served with either rice or porridge which can be found in any hawker centres.

Economical Rice as the name stated obviously supposed to be cheap and being able to eat a variety of meats and vegetables with rice or porridge at $4 or less. But what if there is a stall offered $2 Economical rice which comes with meats and vegetables? Would you be even more surprised if I say it was delicious too?

Located in Kim Keat Palm Market, Lai Heng Economical Mixed Vegetable Rice, been serving all economical rice fans for at least 20 years is a must-try, look at the queue!

Although the queue for this stall is always that long, it is moving very fast as there are 1 cashier and 2 staffs helping to put dishes onto the plate.

With a price of $2, you get to choose a vegetable and a meat, additional 20 cents and you could choose another vegetable!

Besides having a price that is as less as $2, the variety here is huge! You will be spoilt for choice. I was still deciding what to have and it was my turn next!

Their dishes are the same every day, but this is the reason why their food was with quality.

Cooked cabbage and sweet & sour pork are normally the dishes to determine how good this cai png stall is, and they did not disappoint me in terms of quantity and quality. Just take note that for the mushroom I have chosen, they consider it as a type of meat. So I was charged $2.50 for this plate.

This plate cost just $2.20 with 2 vegetable (yes their egg consider vegetable) and a meat.

Overall the meal was really cheap and decent. and I would return anytime for it.
