This Economy Fried Bee Hoon (经济炒米粉) or rice vermicelli is a popular breakfast dish for many Singaporean. It is both cheap and filling with just a fried egg or fried luncheon meat added though mum chose a sweet & sour battered fish fillet for me.

大家好! Pa had intended to buy me a birthday lunch at 1 of the top Chinese restaurants in the country. Covid, and the hyperinflation which resulted from global economies reopening at roughly about the same time, has turned me off travelling far away and dining at crowded spots. Instead, I requested to have xiao long bao (soup dumplings), stirfried egg whites with conpoy, men mian xian (braised longevity noodles) and red bean pancakes. He obliged and I was happy slurping up the broth from those delicious xiao long bao!

There was a full day of site visits for work and it was like a school excursion! Whilst I can't share videos and photos of the places I visited, they'd arranged for a catered lunch. Crispy wanton, battered fish, chicken, mixed vegetables, spring roll and fried rice - a tasty balanced meal that made me pretty happy. With a full belly, we continued with the back-to-back site visits. It was a hectic day and I was exhausted, but it was interesting and enjoyable.

I don't crave fastfood but when the craving for laksa hits, it's so intense, I dash to the nearest place which serves a decent version to get my fix. QQ thick bee hoon (vermicelli) submerged in fragrant spicy broth is topped with fish cake slices, see hum (cockles), tau pok (bean puff), crunchy bean sprouts and a dollop of sambal. This bowl of laksa cost $5 with added see hum. Toss in an iced local coffee and the total came up to $6.80, roughly about the same price as a Macdonald's meal here. Naturally, I gravitate towards our local favourite since I find it more delicious than fastfood!

A breakfast value meal at Macdonald's is priced at $6 - $9.60 in my country, whereas my hearty morning meal of noodles with bouncy fish cake, onion scrambled eggs and curry vegetables set me back just $3.70. A hot coffee is priced at 70 cents at my usual breakfast hangout, bringing the total to $4.40. High protein and fibre for a fraction of the price of a fastfood meal; why would I not opt for local fare? To me, fastfood meals are overpriced based on their nutritional value.

ASEAN is sending help to Gaza. Singapore has completed its first airdrop of food and critical supplies. Malaysia's NGO, KHOM, will be doing the same for food boxes. More importantly, they're not being hypocritical about it, unlike countries sending weapons to Israel that enable it to commit genocide and in the same breath, pretending to send aid to Palestinians. I mean, you can't sincerely want to save the very same people you're indirectly killing, right? 下次见!

Both my sis and I went with Economy Rice (菜饭) since we get to pick some of the choicest dishes the seller has. For sis, I chose okra stir-fry, fried cereal fish nuggets plus sweet & sour pork. My own pack, I selected gai lan (芥兰) stir-fry, stewed chicken and a large piece of sweet & sour pork chop.


Mum asked for Singapore Fried Noodles (星洲米粉) from the tzi char stall. Hers is a rice vermicelli stir-fry with char siu, prawns, egg and bean sprouts. The lime you squeeze over the bee hoon before eating but mum never did that as she doesn’t like the citrusy flavour.

This Singapore Fried Noodles (星洲米粉) from the tze char (煮炒) is for mum. Basically, a rice vermicelli noodles stir-fried with shrimps, char siu, eggs, bean sprouts and cabbages with a lime to add some acidity and citrus fragrant.

I am a rice person so Economy Rice (菜饭) is my go-to option. Got some stewed potato slices, egg tofu with a piece of steamed fish fillet. I love my fish simply steamed with a drizzle of shallot and ginger oil for added fragrant.

Mum’s Singapore Fried Noodles (星洲米粉) bought from the tze char (煮炒) stall across the street. The bee hoon or rice vermicelli came with plenty of ingredients like shrimps, char siu cubes, bean sprouts, cabbage, egg and a lime to squeeze over the noodles.

I went with the simpler option of Economy Rice (菜饭) picking the dishes I like. A crispy and crunchy spread of savoury sweet ikan bilis (dried anchovies) and peanuts covered three-quarter of the box. Underneath it, stewed potato slices sit on the white rice. On the right a piece of steamed fish fillet with spring onions, julienned gingers and drizzled with shallot oil.

Went across the street to the 24hrs coffee shop to order Singapore Fried Noodles (星洲米粉) and Hor Fun (河粉) from the tze char (煮炒) stall. The first is fried bee hoon or rice vermicelli while the latter is broad flat rice noodle.


I took the easy way to dinner and opted for Economy Rice (菜饭) with this big piece of savoury pork chop, crispy ikan bilis & crunchy peanuts and kang kong (water spinach) stir-fry over steamed rice.

Mum bought herself a bowl of Sliced Fish Bee Hoon Soup (鱼片米粉汤) or rice vermicelli from the coffeeshop down the street. My takeaway Economy Rice box had stewed potato slices with egg tofu and a piece of boneless fried chicken. Sis had ginger pork slices with stir-fried okra and sweet & sour pork.

It is takeout dinner for the three of us tonight starting with mum’s Singapore Fried Noodles (星洲米粉) from the tze char (煮炒) stall while my sis and I went for Economy Rice (经济菜饭). First box had cabbage & bean curd stir-fried, creamy pork chop and chicken with soya sauce reduction. The second box came with sweet & sour pork, same creamy pork chop and stewed eggplant.

Mum’s Singapore Fried Noodles or Sin Chew Bee Hoon (星洲米粉) as we call it here and Sweet & Sour Pork Rice (咕噜肉饭) from the Tze Char (煮炒) stall opposite our place. Topped some additional money for a fried egg to go with the rice set as per sister’s request.


I went to the Economy Rice (菜饭) stall to select my own dishes. Chose stewed brinjal, aubergine or eggplant for some of you out there, sweet & sour pork and egg tofu to go with my white rice.

One of mum’s favourite Singapore Fried Noodles (星洲米粉) dish is available in many countries around the world sharing the same name but differ in how it is cooked or the ingredients/condiments used.

I went for Economy Rice (经济菜饭) as I can choose the dishes I like. Here I picked stewed eggplant, sweet & savoury crispy ikan bilis & peanuts with fish nuggets in dark soya sauce reduction over white rice for sis. I chose egg tofu, stewed potato slices and a herbal chicken drumstick for my own.
