The outlet currently serves the same menu as the brand\u2019s Yishun outlet, including their Signature Mixed Beef Noodle with Tendon (S$11). Other options like beef balls and sliced beef are priced from S$7.50 at Plaza Singapura.<\/p>\n
Beyond the current menu, the brand is also planning to introduce new items at Plaza Singapura, including mala beef noodles.<\/p>\n
So why expand while scrambling to relocate their chicken rice outlet? \u201cThe expansion was already in the pipeline before all of this unfolded,\u201d she explained. \u201cFor me, every opportunity you get, you take it. What better way to make our food more accessible than in a food court in Orchard that has few halal options?\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, business at their Yishun beef noodle outlet has been steady. While it is not yet at the level they hope to achieve, the eatery has broken even and is doing well, largely thanks to regulars and neighbourhood residents.<\/p>\n
The new Bussorah outlet, slated to open in early July, will bring together both Hai Ge Ji Hainanese Chicken Rice and Beef Noodles under one roof. The space spans two side-by-side units, with a larger kitchen and a similar number of seats as the previous 50-seater outlet.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn weekends, we plan to put seats outdoors till late at night, where our customers can have supper and desserts,\u201d Francis said. \u201cPeople like soupy stuff at night.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to bring more Singaporean identity back to Kampong Glam,\u201d rapper Sheikh Haikel told 8days.sg. \u201cFor us, nothing is more important than the food itself. Because when the food is meaningful, it naturally brings people together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the move, Hai Ge Ji is also planning new menu items and collaborations with \u201csurprise heritage brands\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all that has happened, I don\u2019t feel jaded at all,\u201d Sheikh said. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s always about the people who come to eat \u2013<\/span> the look on their faces when they\u2019re satisfied, when the food hits right. That never gets old.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my way of giving back, of saying thank you for all the love and support [people have] shown me over the years. That\u2019s what keeps me going,\u201d he mused.<\/p>\n Hai Ge Ji Hainanese Beef Noodles is at #01-01, 461 Yishun Ave 6, Singapore 760461 and #06-15\/20 Plaza Singapura, Kopitiam, 68 Orchard Road, Singapore 238839. Hai Ge Ji Hainanese Chicken Rice will reopen early July at 69 and 70 Bussorah Street.<\/em><\/p>\n
