Thunder Tea Rice is a halal-certified eatery at SingPost Centre that serves the Hakka traditional dish of lei cha fan, a bowl of rice topped with an assortment of finely chopped vegetables, preserved radish, and peanuts, accompanied by a distinctive green thunder tea soup made from pounded tea leaves, basil, and herbs. The stall brings this health-conscious heritage dish to a modern mall setting, offering a nourishing and flavourful alternative to heavier hawker fare. The rice bowl comes loaded with toppings such as long beans, cabbage, leek, tofu, and dried shrimp, each contributing texture and nutrition to the dish. The thunder tea soup, poured over the rice or sipped alongside, delivers a herbaceous, slightly bitter, and deeply aromatic experience that is unlike anything else in the hawker landscape. Vegetarian versions are available, and the overall meal is light yet satisfying. For a meal that is as wholesome as it is unique, Thunder Tea Rice offers a taste of Hakka tradition that nourishes body and soul. Pour the soup, mix it in, and discover why this dish has endured for centuries.Operating Hours

Delicious, filling and healthy lei cha in the East. Dining in is self service where you add your own hot water to the tea paste. With brown rice option. The fried yong tau foo add on is very satisfying
Tiffany
Best leicha from this franchise! It’s consistent for all the times I patronise; veggies tasty and glutinous rice just the right amount of nutty and umami flavor. Now the service staff even remembers my personalised order of no peanut! Because of how YUMMY, it’s the only thing I eat in SingPost. Shoutout to Yu :))
Suhaimi
Always recommend choosing the brown rice with the original base. It tastes great and is healthy. While the price is a bit on the expensive side, understand it’s in the CBD area. The portion size is just right, but the dine-in space is a bit limited and can feel cramped.
Rachel
Thunder Tea Rice at Singpost Basement. I ordered a combo set with basil chicken, and it was delicious! The chicken was tender and fresh, making for a satisfying meal. Highly recommended! Must try!
