This stall in Chinatown has been operating for a long time and now is helmed by the second generation chef, who has mastered and cooks all the dishes himself.
The stall serves up Economy rice with old school Cantonese style flavors, with a home-cooked feel.
For this meal, I had:
- steamed fish
- omelette with long beans
- stewed vegetables and
- soup.
The soup flavor changes daily and it is complimentary.
Their other standout dishes are:
- deep-fried thin-sliced prawn paste pork belly
- stewed prawn paste pork belly
- curry chicken
- steamed egg with salted and century egg.
😋👍🏻

I've been a fan of their food since I was a kid. Until now, it has been passed to their 3rd Generation yet the taste is still wonderful!
I really love how they still charge as little as possible, having sentimental feeling for older regulae folks who are their loyal customers since long ago.
If you're looking for some authentic cantonese-style homecooked food, this is a place for you.
Super affordable, value for moey and importantly tasty! But please give a little patience to them as they really try to work as fast as they can to satisfy every customer!

Old school economic rice at its truest form. Economically priced, delicious, traditional dishes, and comes with complimentary soup of the day! Where in CBD to pay less than $4 for 3 sides (of 1 meat and 2 veg) and a soup!

Was checking out the long queue at the hawker center. Came across and waited to try it out for lunch. Mostly are older generation people who are waiting. The stall holders are patience since mostly are elders who are purchasing. Price is reasonable at $3.80 for 4 sides. Taste is definitely home cooked style. I love it and deserve waiting.

I have walked past this stall so many times, and I thought people were queuing for them because the food was cheap. Boy, was I wrong.
I was intrigued to try this stall after finding out that a dish I had at a private dining venue recently was inspired by a dish at Li Ji. It is prawn paste pork, or 咸虾猪肉 in Cantonese / Mandarin.
I came on a Friday afternoon just before lunch time and the queue was in full force. While the auntie was scooping my rice, I asked her if the dish I came for was still available. Thankfully it was, but the try was almost out. I also got some freshly made sweet and sour pork, bitter gourd yong tau foo and an item which I didn't know its name. All these were $7.20 (May 2025).
The prawn paste pork was pungent and lovely, and it reminded me of the steamed pork ribs with black beans you get at dim sum restaurants, but 100 times more intense.
The dishes here are also different from other cai png stalls as they are selling Cantonese dishes. I highly recommend to give this stall a try to get a taste of home cooked Cantonese food.

Delicious and wholesome homecooked dishes, very reasonably priced too. If u dine there, u can get free soup too. Always a queue but it moves quite fast.
In the first photo, there’s fuyu(aka fermented beancurd) pork, stuffed bitter gourd, ngoh hiang and dry fried soya sauce prawns aka har lok. In second box, there’s braised cabbage, ngoh hiang, fried fish nuggets and fuyu pork.

Despite the change of the cook, the cantonese food taste equally good as usual. Price point is still one of the cheapest around even with a entire fish. Definitely more worth and try to come early as always long Q in wait!

Food was delicious! I had bean sprouts, steam pork ribs and stuffed beancurd sheet that's wrapped into a tiny parcel. It reminds me of my mum's cooking when I was growing up. The free watercress soup was so delicious and light.
