Mixed Vegatable Rice stall
Price: $3
Rating: 4/5


I'm not sure of any mixed rice stall that charge 3 dollars for 4 dishes but I ordered egg, broccoli, chicken and tofu at the lawn mixed vegetable rice stall and was charged just 3 dollars! Value for money at it's best.

The thing that makes this dish even better is that it taste good too. I could eat the broccoli alone, something I do not usually do since I'm not a big veggie fan. I think I might even start to like eating broccoli! The chicken was sliced into bite-sized pieces making it easy to consume and the egg tofu was soft and tasty. There are many other dishes you can try at the stall and they vary their dishes day to day. So head down to lawn and get good tasting value for you money!

Price: $3.50
Rating: 4/5


I’ve always been a fan of Japanese cuisine, and having it in school makes it easier for me because I would be able to taste my favourite cuisine at any point of time. And what makes it better is the fact that it is sold at an affordable price!

This Ebi fried omelette rice topped with curry is definitely a must try if you’re feeling hungry because not only the rice comes in a reasonable portion, it is also served with salad, curry as well as 3 Ebi prawn. If you’re a curry lover, you can always request to add more curry without having to pay more! What’s better is the fact that the ebi prawns are always served piping hot and crispy! Together with the omelette rice and the curry, this dish is definitely worth the price.

So what are you waiting for! Head down to E-co foodcourt during your break now and try out this dish! :)

SEAFOOD FRIED RICE!

Seafood fried rice@ Mr Teh Tarik

Price : $4.50

Rating: 4/5 stars

I am sure you would have heard of the famous hot drink, Teh Tarik. But ever heard of the stall, Mr Teh Tarik? Located just opposite the Woodlands Polyclinic, this small coffee-shop has only about 3 to 4 stalls.

A wide range of unique drinks is sold over here. Not only the drinks, but the names of it are extraordinary as well. Such names include the Cocktail Spin and White Spider. And as you must have guessed by the name of the shop, teh tarik is one of their popular drinks. Other than the usual hot tea, you could even have a choice of having iced teh tarik with a scoop of ice-cream.I thought the specialty of the store was the drinks, but I was proven wrong. 

The seafood fried rice tasted twice as good. At just $4.50 per plate, you get a huge portion of fried rice. What makes this dish stand out from the rest of the other fried rice dishes out there is the quantity of the ingredients added. There were huge chunks of sotong and egg slices. The dish was accompanied with many shredded cabbages too.With each bite, you would get a mixed taste – the crunchiness of the cabbage and the delectable taste of the rice.

Go grab yours now! Don’t forget to try some of their unique drinks too! J

Hot place chicken with rice

"Don’t judge a book by its cover" This famous idiom applies to this dish as well. With its simplistic appearance, this hot plate dish definitely tops my list as one of the best. 

The chicken pieces were really a “cute” sight to look at, as it was rather small and had different sizes. It was not too chunky, and was really easy to chew.

The chicken was accompanied with shredded cabbage slices and just the right portion of steamed rice. The gravy in the dish was neither watery, nor too thick. You can feel the gravy oozing out, with every bite of the chicken.

Every cent was worth the taste, I must say!
