Is this your neighbourhood Economical Rice stall?

There ought to be a stall in your neighbourhood selling economical rice. But does it offer dishes like the following?

I knew that a plate of white rice wouldn't be sufficient to satisfy me and my
hungry stomach, therefore I ended up ordering 2 plates of white rice at one go.
Like many other places, you get to choose the type of sauces to go with the
plate of white rice'. There's 'Chicken Curry', 'Seafood Curry' and all the sinful
gravies, for example: 'Braised Meat Gravy', 'Char Siew' gravy, etc... And you can
also mix and match the gravy that you like too. :P Although the plate of rice
can be kinda small, but with all the nice mix of 'Chicken Curry' and 'Char Siew'
gravy, I don't think I can complain about the great taste at all.
(By the way, like many other 'Chinese Curry' out there, the 'Curry' over here
isn't spicy at all, but the taste of it is definitely a (+).)

Anyway, I have also ordered 4 different dishes to go with the plates of 'Rice'.

'Stewed Cabbages'
This dish also comes with a bit of black fungus and a bit of dried shrimps. For a
start, the texture of the cabbages are very soft. When you scoop a spoonful of it
into your mouth, there will be this nice taste and chewing sensation, which includes
the interesting mix of the chewy shrimps and the sweet watery vegetables.

'Sauteed Potatoes with Mixed Vegetables'
Like the good old western food sold in my 'Primary School' back then. This dish
also comes vegetables like 'Peas', 'Carrots' and 'Corn'. The texture of the
'Potatoes' are neither 'Soft' nor 'Crunchy'. Although the taste is there, but
I would prefer it to be much more 'Crunchy'.

'Meat Ball in Onion Gravy'
Loved the 'Meat Ball' over here. Similar to it's competitor nearby, they also
have this 'Meaty' dish over here. The 'Minced Meat' are firmly sticking together
and as you throw a bit of it into your mouth, the chewy texture and the nice
meaty taste just make you feel like continue chewing on and on. :D
(By the way, the competitor that I'm referring over here would be '夜上海潮州粥',
which is located in another coffee shop located on the other end of the same
building. Click here to read more about it.)

'Pork Chop'
As for the 'Pork Chop' over here, it's served in a pool of 'Gravy'. Therefore,
if you are too used to the firm and chewy 'Pork Chop', you will be very disappointed.
Although the 'Pork Chop' over here are chewy, but they are just not firm enough
for my liking. Even though it also comes with the nice taste of the 'Pork Chop'
but as compared to the 'Meat Ball' over here, I personally find the 'Meat Ball'
to be a much more wiser and delicious choice.

So where can you give all the dishes a nice try?
The name of this stall would be 'Tian Tian Hainanese Curry Rice'(天天海南咖哩饭).
It's located in one of the coffee shop beneath Blk 116 Bukit Merah View.
