Ri Ri Hong Menu Card
The Ri Ri Hong menu card is really the counter itself: trays of vegetables, meats, seafood and noodles, priced by portion at S$1, S$2 and S$3, with rice from about S$0.50. This page reconstructs that card in full, with spice levels and worked bowl examples, from food guides and diner reports checked 21 October 2026.
What is on the Ri Ri Hong menu card?
There is no printed Ri Ri Hong menu card to photograph, and this page won’t fake one. What the stall actually offers is a counter full of trays plus a simple pricing rule, and that is what the card below reconstructs: every ingredient group, its portion price, and the choices you make at the counter. Prices are third-party reported, checked 21 October 2026, since the stall publishes no official list.
| Menu card section | What is in it | Portion price |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetables | Lotus root, potato, kang kong, bean sprouts, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower | S$1 |
| Mushrooms and fungi | King oyster, enoki, shiitake, black fungus | S$1 |
| Tofu and bean products | Tofu, bean curd skin, tofu puffs | S$1 |
| Meats | Sliced chicken, sliced pork, meatballs, Chinese sausage | S$2 |
| Seafood and lamb | Prawns, fish slices, squid, lamb | S$3 |
| Noodles and carbs | Instant noodles, vermicelli, rice noodles, steamed rice | S$0.50 for rice |
| Spice levels | Bu la, xiao la, zhong la, da la | No extra charge reported |
| Cooking style | Dry stir-fry or wetter, saucier style | No extra charge reported |
How does the portion pricing work?
Every tray at the counter falls into one of three price tiers, and you pay per portion you take, not per gram. A portion is roughly one serving for one person of that ingredient, sized with your group in mind when you tell the staff how many are sharing. The worked examples below use the reported tier prices, so they are arithmetic, not a promise from the stall.
A solo bowl, priced out
Take three vegetable portions (lotus root, potato, kang kong), two meat portions (chicken, meatballs) and one bowl of rice. That is 3 x S$1 plus 2 x S$2 plus about S$0.50, which comes to roughly S$7.50. Add a seafood portion and you are at about S$10.50.
A sharing bowl, priced out
For three people sharing, a typical spread runs to about six vegetable portions, five meat portions and two seafood portions, plus three bowls of rice. That works out to roughly S$23.50 in total, or just under S$8 a person, which lines up with the S$8 to S$12 per person range diners report.
What do the spice levels on the menu card mean?
Four words decide how your bowl turns out, and they are worth learning before you queue. Bu la skips the chilli entirely, xiao la is a gentle warmth, zhong la is the medium that most regulars order, and da la is the full, sweating, tongue-numbing version. You also choose dry or wetter: dry keeps the sauce clinging to the ingredients, wetter leaves more sauce to mix with rice.
| Spice level | What to expect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bu la (non-spicy) | No chilli heat, still fragrant and garlicky | Kids, non-spice eaters |
| Xiao la (mild) | Gentle warmth, full flavour | First timers, cautious eaters |
| Zhong la (medium) | Real kick, fragrance intact | Most regulars, the sweet spot |
| Da la (very spicy) | Intense heat and numbing tingle | Seasoned chilli lovers only |
What is not on the menu card?
A few things regulars ask about simply don’t exist as formal items. There is no published kids menu, no combo set, no party platter and no promo card. Guides also list Mapo Dou Fu and Kung Pao Chicken as things the stall serves, but they sit outside the mala bowl format, so ask at the counter rather than hunting for them on a card. The same goes for drinks: the food centre around the stall handles that part of your meal.
If you want the bigger picture, the main guide covers the full ingredient list and every outlet, and the secret menu page covers the off-menu builds regulars swear by.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official Ri Ri Hong menu card?
No published menu card could be found. Ri Ri Hong is a hawker stall, and its menu lives on the counter and the price board, not on a website or printed card. This page reconstructs that counter menu from food guides and diner reports, checked 21 October 2026.
How much is a vegetable portion at Ri Ri Hong?
S$1 per portion, according to every major Singapore food guide that covers the stall. That covers lotus root, potato, kang kong, cabbage, mushrooms, tofu and bean sprouts.
How much is meat and seafood at Ri Ri Hong?
Meats are S$2 a portion and seafood is S$3 a portion. Lamb is also reported at the S$3 tier. Rice starts at about S$0.50 a bowl.
Does Ri Ri Hong charge by weight?
No. That is the whole point of the stall. You pay by ingredient type and portion, which means you can total your bill in your head as you pick, with no scale surprises at the counter.
What drinks are on the Ri Ri Hong menu card?
No drinks list is published for the stall itself. Most diners grab a drink from a neighbouring stall in the food centre, which is part of the hawker centre routine.
