Get $2 Ipoh Curry Noodles, Legit Herbal Chicken And More At This New TPY Stall

Steam Rice Kitchen has $2 Ipoh curry noodles in Toa Payoh

With the impending GST hike and inflation, finding a cheap meal under $3 is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But if you look close enough, there are options around, such as Feng Ji Kway Chap, where you can get a set for $2.50, and Steam Rice Kitchenā€˜s $2 Ipoh Curry Noodles.

Helmed by an Ipoh-born hawker, the new stall is located in Toa Payoh North, a nine-minute walk from Braddell MRT Station. Recently, theyā€™ve been making waves online for their cheap Ipoh curry noodles, which go for just $2 a bowl.

Do note that this price gets you noodles with their signature curry broth, topped with beansprouts, sans meat. Nonetheless, online reviewers tout the curry to be rich and robust, with a spicy kickā€”notably less lemak than Singapore-style curry mee, so you donā€™t feel jelak after slurping on the broth.

If you need more liao, consider going for the standard $4.80 portion, which includes extra fixings such as fried bean curd skin and long beans. Thereā€™s also a $5.80 serving that comes with yong tau foo pieces.

Alternatively, order their Ipoh Curry Chee Cheong Fun with Pork Skin ($4.80): silky rice noodle sheets drenched in the same curry broth, topped with crispy fried pork skin.

The aforementioned dishes are only available for breakfast, from 7am to 11am.

If youā€™re visiting for lunch, the stall offers a wide range of steamed dishes and soups, including their Signature Herbal Chicken ($7.90). This aromatic dish features half a chicken cooked in a nourishing mix of herbs.

Their Signature Coconut Chicken Soup ($7.90), which stars black chicken thigh cooked in a Thai young coconut, is another must-try.
