For this video, I headed over to the Cai Png (mixed economic rice) store at Gourmet Express food court in Bishan to assemble and demolish a 5KG plate of Cai Png. Cai Png is a Southeast Asian concept where you get to choose an assortment of side dishes ala carte to go with your serving(s) of rice at extremely affordable prices. Shout-out to my good friend Wilsurn Lim for the Cai Png recommendation!
Dishes come prepared in every way imaginable, be it braised, deep fried, steamed or stewed, and it would be difficult to exhaust all their permutations of chicken, pork, fish and vegetables. For the cost-conscious, vegetable options are the cheapest, followed by chicken and pork, with the most expensive being fish. Although most of these dishes are cooked in bulk, they usually taste at least adequately, especially when you factor in the price, with a few stand-out sides depending on the store you are at.
As times are bad now, I tried to be economical with this challenge, resulting in a 5kg plate of food that only cost me SGD$22! The cost for your average person should only be $3-5 depending on how extravagant you wish to be with your sides. I managed to complete this challenge in just under 32 minutes!
The one that I went is at Bishan Interchange, Blk 514A! Do head down to your nearest Cai Png place to get good and affordable food!
