Hakka Lei Cha Fan (Thunder Tea Rice):
Lei Cha fan comprises of a bowl of rice that is topped with various kinds of vegetables. These vegetables all have a strong flavour profile on its own and when mixed together, makes up a taste that is indescribable. It is probably more of an acquired taste as some may hate it beyond reasoning, while others who love it can have it every single day. The bowl of tea/soup that comes along with it is extremely flavourful as well. However, eating this is pretty tiring for the jaw as a lot of chewing has to be done 😂. I love lei cha fan, especially for the crunch to it, and this stall that sells it is one of the more popular stall in Boon Lay hawker centre. Be prepared to queue if you are there during lunch time! This bowl of lei cha fan that has so many shades of green is choked full with healthy vitamins, minerals, and fibre and a bowl of it from $3.50 (white rice) to $4 (brown rice), with multiple topping options available. That was a filling and delicious meal 😁
