Allan Mixed Vegetable Curry Rice


Most staff of Changi Airport will be familiar with Allan mixed vegetable rice. Previously located at Terminal 1 staff canteen before its renovation, Allan has shifted to Terminal 2 staff canteen. But regardless of its location, staff and even members of the public continued to describe Allan mixed vegetable rice as one of the most delicious economical rice in Singapore.

As mentioned in an earlier post, finding Terminal 2 staff canteen is like playing treasure hunt. For those of you who have no idea where it is, let me give you a simplified description of the directions. At any level, follow the signboard to carpark 2A. Once you reach there, you will see signboard to the lifts to staff canteen. Take the lift to level 3M and you will see the well-concealed staff canteen.


A plate of mixed vegetable rice with curry chicken, fried cabbage and egg omelette costs only $2.50 for non-staff, definitely cheap for dining in an air-conditioned food court.

Adequately concentrated with the distinctive aroma of coconut milk, the special curry gravy is thick and savory, giving every grain of rice a coat of irresistable flavour. The egg omelette is tasty and the fried cabbage is delightfully fragrant.

Allan mixed vegetable curry rice is undoubtedly one of most delicious economical rice in Singapore. It is also one of the most value-for-money as you get to enjoy your mixed vegetable rice in an air-conditioned food court yet pay a price lower than in most coffee shops.

He Jia Huan Ban Mian


The best ban mian (handmade noodle) in Singapore used to be Qiu Lian Ban Mian. However, over the past few years, with the opening of multiple franchises, its impressive standard seemed to have deteriorated tremendously. Recently, after reading about the ban mian at Changi Airport Terminal 2 Staff Canteen which some bloggers described as the best in Singapore, I decided to go and try it for myself.

Finding the well-concealed Staff Canteen at Terminal 2 was no easy task. It was located at Level 3M and I went into a few wrong lift lobbies and staircase exits before I finally found it.


A bowl of He Jia Huan ban mian costs $3 for public and $2.20 for staff. Topped with generous servings of ikan bilis (fried anchovies), the delicious ban mian comes with a small saucer of chilli sauce. The thick and savory gravy complements the smooth noodles very well. The highlight of the ban mian is the exceptionally spicy chilli sauce made with fresh chilli padi that burns incessantly in the mouth.

I couldn't help noticing the similarities between He Jia Huan and Qiu Lian Ban Mian eg the texture of the noodles, the taste of the soup and the quality of the chilli sauce. Overall I didn't feel that He Jia Huan ban mian is the best in Singapore but it is certainly delicious and definitely worth a try. Happy searching for Terminal 2 Staff Canteen.
