..... Description:
The Economy Rice And Economy Porridge is a Singaporean Chinese meal that comprises a variety of dishes in small portions, averaging between 2 to 4 dishes, paired with either white rice or plain rice porridge. Also known as Mixed Rice, Zhap Fan, Cai Png, Teochew Porridge, Teochew Muay, Tsap Tshai Png, or Point Point Rice, the Economy Rice And Economy Porridge meal is usually priced around SGD $3 to $12 per serving. As possibly the most commonly eaten meal in Singapore, thanks to its relative affordability and accessible ubiquity, it's eaten at all hours of the day or night. The dishes at a Economy Rice And Economy Porridge stall are always pre-cooked, and displayed in troughs, kept warm with heat lamps or warm water baths. There usually is a spread of 30 or so different dishes, replenished throughout the day, with dishes being rotated and changed daily. Each stall often has several speciality dishes, dependent on the chef. All dishes are served accompanied by a choice of fluffy soft moist white rice, or a thin watery Chinese Teochew style rice porridge, both with mild grainy sweet flavour. The Economy Rice And Economy Porridge dishes span a wide range of cooking techniques, including deep-fried, stir-fried, braised, sautéed, boiled, double-boiled, and steamed. The ingredients used are often cheap and commonly sourced, with each dish usually comprising 1 or 2 main ingredients at most, enhanced with herbs, spices, or sauces / gravies. Dishes are categorised into 'meat' (pork, chicken, beef, processed meat), 'seafood' (fish, squid, prawns, processed fish, processed seafood), 'vegetables' (cabbage, spinach, lettuce, tomato, leeks, carrots, potatoes, string beans), 'premium vegetables' (mushrooms, broccoli, eggplant / brinjal, asparagus), and 'others' (egg, tofu, peanuts). Generally, a Economy Rice And Economy Porridge meal will consist of 1 'meat' dish, and 2 'vegetables', 'premium vegetables', or 'others' dish, with 'seafood' being rarely ordered. Often the cheapest meal option available anywhere, the Economy Rice And Economy Porridge is what most Singaporeans associate with a home-cooked meal, and is the kind of meal eaten on a daily basis. Some people eat nothing but Economy Rice And Economy Porridge, for every meal, every day, as the wide variety of dishes means there's something different all the time. It can be had individually, or shared communally in which case the serving portions are slightly larger. ..... 1.
