We think Boon Lay Traditional Hakka Lui Cha offers a robust and authentic take on Thunder Tea Rice.
The dish comes with a generous portion of either white or brown rice, topped with individually stir-fried vegetables like long beans, cabbage, and spinach, along with beancurd and a rare addition of fried shrimp.
Peanuts are provided separately for takeaway orders, maintaining their crunch.
The accompanying 'tea' paste, a blend of herbs like mint, coriander, and Thai basil with nuts, is potent and can be enjoyed as a thick purée or diluted into a soup.
At $4.50 for white rice and $5.00 for brown rice, it's a filling and healthy option.
While the basil-based tea soup might not appeal to everyone, those new to Hakka Lei Cha often find this stall converts them.
We'd recommend visiting before the main lunch rush to avoid queues, though reports suggest the line moves quickly even on busy days.
It's a reliable spot for a substantial and flavourful meal.

What customers say
Boon Lay Traditional Hakka Lui Cha is highly praised for its authentic and healthy Thunder Tea Rice, featuring fresh, individually stir-fried vegetables, beancurd, and a unique addition of fried shrimp.
Customers consistently highlight the generous portion sizes and affordable pricing, especially for the brown rice option.
While the basil-based herbal tea soup is a key draw for many, its distinct taste might not appeal to everyone.
The stall experiences long queues during peak lunch hours but moves quickly, often selling out by early afternoon due to its popularity.

Very delicious. Have been eating from this stall since 15 years ago. Very authentic tasting. Very healthy and clean food. Come try it, your health and stomach will thank you for it.
Grew up eating this and I still think it’s the best lui cha in Singapore after trying other stalls. Vegetables are fried to perfection and the preserved radish added on top gives this bowl a sweet cru…
Honestly it’s really yummy. Fresh and herby tasty. It’s a really filling meal despite it not looking like it. Only $4.50 for a bowl (comes with the soup) and it seems like a healthier hawker centre op…
I have been eating the thunder tea rice from this stall for the past 16 years. It is my favourite in Singapore, and probably the tastiest. There was a period where I was working nearby, and I could ea…
