Located within a coffeeshop in Bedok Town Centre is Happy House Sichuan Kitchen Mala Hotpot, our go-to destination for value-for-money, no frills, consistent quality of Chinese stir fries. The 3 most ordered dishes for us will be in the order of 手撕包菜, 番茄炒鸡蛋 and 回锅肉. Can you actually believe that these dishes cost between $6-7 each?

The first is the stir fried cabbage with umami fish sauce and pieces of meat while the tomato egg is just comfort food maximus. The meat dish is twice-cooked pork belly with leeks and scallions. Each of these dishes are meant to go alongside a bowl of white rice.
