Netizen Highlights Hawker Stall With “Poor Lighting” That Actually Sells Nice $2.70 Cai Png
“The hawkers are the thrifty type but unfortunately the lighting makes the food look not so nice and those who are new to the hawker centre won’t really fancy it,” says Facebook user Kenny.
One netizen named Kenny highlighted a cai png stall he patronised that sells cheap and good economic rice. In a post on Facebook foodie group Food We Eat N Share in SG, he urged people to “support this cai png stall managed by [elderly hawkers]” at North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre. 
Hidden gem stall
Called Hup Heng Mixed Veg. Rice, the stall has bright red signage but is dimly-lit. From a distance, one may even mistake the stall for being closed, even though there are still plenty of home-style dishes left like handmade meatballs, vegetable curry, stir-fried pork and soy-braised chicken.
“Unfortunately due to the stall’s poor lighting, the food doesn’t look glamourous and vibrant but that doesn’t mean no good ya,” Kenny wrote. “[The dishes are] very homecooked type and more healthy too as it seems to me no MSG [sic]. And [the hawkers] are very honest and down-to-earth. The aunties are super polite and [their food is] super value [for money].”
Speaking to 8days.sg, Kenny said the longtime stall is “really backward-looking ’cos [its elderly hawker-owners] are the thrifty type and just want to make an honest living there.” He added: “But unfortunately, the lighting makes the food look not so nice and those who are new to the hawker centre won’t really fancy it.”
Cheap and good $2.70 cai png
In his post, Kenny also shared his box of takeaway cai png, which had toppings like omelette and potato wedges. He wrote: “My tapao today only $2.70.... Tapao from them also feel happy [smiley emoji]. Do try and support ya.”
Hup Heng Mixed Veg. Rice is at #01-90 North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre, 861 North Bridge Rd, S198783. Open daily 8am-4pm.
