But longtime Jurong East hawker stall Lam Chan Mixed Veg Rice is still selling its economic rice at economical prices — a plate with 1 veg + 1 meat, or 3 veg (all with rice) costs just $2.50.

Portions are huge
A 2 veg + 1 meat + rice combination is priced at $3, and 2 meat + 1 veg + rice at $3.50. The prices are extra reasonable considering that you get very generous portions. Our $3 tray of cai png was a glorious heap of plump sardine, cabbage and onion omelette with curry gravy drizzled over rice.

We were expecting our omelette order to be charged as a meat dish, as we were burnt too many times at kopitiam cai fan stalls. To our surprise, the fluffy omelette fried with large pieces of onion was considered as veg.
The selection of dishes we saw during our visit was also pretty good; there was sweet-and-sour pork, fried chicken, fried fish, chicken curry, ngoh hiang and stir-fried brinjal in bean sauce. While not fancy, the food here is tasty in a homecooked way and very hearty.

There’s always a queue
Lam Chan is very popular with Jurong residents who are looking for a wallet-friendly, filling meal. Which explains why there’s always a queue at the stall.
The auntie and uncle hawkers manning the stall aren’t the friendliest, but they are extremely efficient and unafraid to pile your plate high.

While its official opening hours are weekdays 9am to 5pm, the stall sometimes closes as early as around 1pm (just after lunchtime) when it has sold out of all its food. So drop by earlier if you want to have lunch here.

Singaporeans really give no excuses 🫡 Even MRT rides become workout time in our health-conscious nation 💪 Videos circulating online show people doing pull-ups, push-ups and other exercises on MRT trains, turning their daily commute into an unexpected workout session. While some netizens found the clips amusing and proof that Singaporeans are serious about staying fit, others questioned whether exercising on public transport could be unsafe or disruptive to fellow passengers. The clips have also reminded some of past fitness campaigns in Singapore, including public workout challenges held at MRT stations, showing just how strong the country’s fitness culture has become 🇸🇬 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #sgtiktok #MRT #Fitness

K-pop dream vs Singapore reality 👀 If a Singaporean gets accepted into ADOR… what happens to NS? South Korean K-pop label ADOR is bringing its global auditions to Southeast Asia, including Singapore. But for Singaporean male trainees, one potential hurdle could be National Service in Singapore, which requires male citizens to enlist at around age 18. In South Korea, members of BTS were allowed to defer their military enlistment for several years due to their cultural impact, though they eventually still had to serve. So if a Singaporean were to debut in K-pop through ADOR, should similar deferment be considered — or should the rules remain the same? #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #kpop #NewJeans #Ador
