Lei Cha ($3.50)
⭐️ 5/5 ⭐️
🍴Of all the leichas across the island that we’ve tried (and we are ardent leicha fans), this version reigns supreme. The magic is in the soup - “gao”, bitter, savoury, and so complex. We never fail to drink it all up and always leave wanting more! Paired with a mountain of vegetables, ikan bilis, and crunchy peanuts atop a bed of rice (white or brown for 50cents more), it is truly a perfect healthy lunch. It’s the first time we’re posting about this since circuit breaker, but we honestly eat this every other week, taking the quite inaccessible journey to tanglin halt and braving the 30 - 45 mins queue each time. But that’s how much we love it! Leicha isn’t for everyone, but if you love it this version is a definite must.
