Apart from being an actor, Chew Chor Meng is also known for his F&B ventures 888 Mookata and Famous Zhou.

Recently, the actor has also opened Famous Pao Fan in a food court at Sultan Plaza.

Pao fan from S$4.50

As its name suggests, the stall sells a variety of pao fan, which translates literally to "submerged rice," at affordable prices.

Depending on the ingredient, each bowl ranges from S$4.50 to S$16.

A serving comes with your preferred protein option, such as prawns, fried red grouper, or Kurobuta pork slices, as well as clams, egg floss and crispy rice puffs steeped in a flavourful broth.

Here's a look at the menu:

At a promotional price of S$16, the most expensive item on the menu is value-for-money enough, as it comes with a whole lobster, some clams and egg floss.

In an interview with Miss Tam Chiak, Chew said, "We usually have to pay a premium price to eat pao fan in restaurants. Hence, I wanted to offer pao fan at affordable prices so that everyone can enjoy it."

Apart from pao fan, the stall also offers sides like fried tofu (S$3), spam fries (S$3) and prawn rolls (S$4).

Long queues on a weekend

It seems like it's living up to its name as the Famous Pao Fan, after all.

When we visited on a Sunday (Dec. 13), there was a long queue for the pao fan stall.

The queue stretched all the way to the exit of the food court.

Perhaps the queues are shorter on weekdays.
