Originally wanted the Hakka Yong Tau Foo from the Orchard Road Soup stall at Food Republic in 313@Somerset, but was told that it wasn’t available. Decided on the lei cha with pumpkin rice next, but apparently they only had olive rice left. So here I was. I’m appalled at how badly stocked this stall is on Sunday evening.
Overall, the lei cha is not the best, but it’s also not bad. The thunder tea has a distinct grassy herbal taste, though the outlet here at 313 seems to be more watered down than the one in Suntec. The olive rice provides a saltier base than the pumpkin rice, but both of them complement the thunder tea overall. Not where I’d recommend for lei cha, but decent enough for a quick fix.
