Our take: The Grain Shop appears to be a no-frills kopitiam in Hougang, offering a variety of local hawker fare at exceptionally low prices.

Reviewers consistently highlight the ban mian as a standout, with one noting its 'old school' anchovy and meat bone broth, a rarity for $2.50 a bowl.

The satay also receives praise for its flavour and 'powerful' peanut sauce.

For those seeking a quick and affordable meal, the Hainanese curry rice is a popular choice, described as 'homestyle and delicious'.

While the ban mian might leave you feeling thirsty, the consensus is that the value for money is undeniable.

We'd recommend visiting in the morning to experience the full range of offerings, including mee siam, economic beehoon, and nasi lemak.

It's a reliable spot for a budget-friendly, authentic local breakfast or lunch.

The banmian store here is such a steal at $2.50 per bowl. The soup is brewed with anchovies and meat bones old school style, hard to find from your average foodcourt banmian store. Enjoy the empty bow…
