Thunder Tea Rice at Maxwell Hawker Center

PRICE: $2.50 (white rice), $3.00 (brown rice)

TASTE: YUMMY!

The stall's signage struck me immediately. Never in my life have I ever heard of such a dish. It's a traditional Hakka dish. It's rice mixed with nuts and vegetables served with a bowl of tea. We asked for our white rice to be substituted with brown rice. The substitution comes at an additional fifty cents.



Before I poured the tea into my rice bowl, I took a mouthful of the rice. It was a tad salty without the tea. However, when the tea was poured over the rice, the light tea taste provided a stark contrast with the salty rice. A yummy and extremely healthy combination.
