New in town: Tse Kee's $5 beef ball noodles will fuel your Orchard shopping spree
The opening of Tse Kee Beef Noodle Soup at Lucky Plaza's Lucky Food Centre brings a new spot to fill up before your Orchard outing.
Located next to a Valu$ store, Lucky Food Centre is home to less than 10 stalls. But don't look down on this small arsenal — this air-conditioned food court has been open since the 1990s! With Tse Kee Beef Noodle Soup joining the food centre, soupy beef noodles and filling rice bowls are now available for all shoppers.
Their signature fare includes the Beef Oxtail Soup (S$10.80 for Small, S$13.50 for Large) and the Beef Tendon Soup (S$8.80 for Small, S$10.50 for Large). The stock, enriched by oxtail bones and different cuts of meat, is seasoned with soy sauce for a deep, umami-rich flavour.
Tse Kee Beef Noodle Soup also offers the simplicity of Beef Ball Minced Noodles (S$5). Piping hot bone broth is poured over your choice of noodles before beef balls, minced beef and chives top the bowl. This bowl of comforting warmth will seep into your tired muscles after a day of exploring Orchard Road.
The Beef Slice Rice Bowl (S$7.50) is served with a half-boiled egg, vegetables and beef slices. A Chinese-style twist on the classic Japanese beef rice bowl, or gyudon, if you will. Coated with the liquid egg centre, the beef slices' savouriness is balanced out by the creamy yolk. Paired with the fluffy white rice, this bowl provides mouthfuls of indulgence.
For the same price, you can also get the Minced Beef Rice Bowl (S$7.50) piled with morsels of meat that slip into all the nooks and crannies of the rice. Stir-fried with soy sauce, oyster sauce and spices, the minced beef packs a punch of flavour.
If you're looking for an affordable, no frills meal during your shopping spree at Orchard, why not check out Tse Kee Beef Noodle Soup's newly opened stall?

In Singapore, Grandmothers Dive Into Aging With a Splash
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. Last year, I came across an article in Rice Media, a news outlet based in Singapore, with the headline ''I'll Play Till I Die': The Rowdy Ah Mas Confronting Mortality Through Water Polo.' In the article, Michele Pek wrote that her grandmother was one of the first members of the Ah Ma Flippa Ball team, a group of women mostly in their 60s, 70s and 80s who started playing flippa ball — a version of water polo that does not require treading water — in Singapore in 2016. 'Ah ma' means grandmother in several Chinese dialects. It was 'the first time I've seen an 80-year-old lady dive headfirst for a ball,' Ms. Pek wrote. I was born and raised in Singapore, one of the world's most rapidly aging countries. For years, I kept track of the government's various initiatives to engage older residents. The National Silver Academy, for example, offered courses teaching them how to use TikTok. This month, two 'silver generation ambassadors' — volunteers who help Singapore's government connect with seniors — visited my 83-year-old mother to ask about her chronic diseases and if she had friends. They encouraged her to exercise and told her that she could play Rummy-O with other seniors. And recently, the city-state hosted the World Aging Festival, which featured a cheerleading squad made up of seniors. I have always been interested in how seniors live. I previously covered demographics in China, where I was based for a decade. There, I wrote about people in their 70s and 80s who went to parks to find love. When I started covering Southeast Asia in late 2021, I was keen to continue that focus. I am always searching for new ways to tell the story of demographic shifts in the region. I knew that the story of the Ah Ma Flippa Ball team presented an opportunity to highlight Singapore's dynamic, aging population. So I contacted the coach, Ting Kum Luen, and asked if I could watch the team play at the Yio Chu Kang Swimming Complex. Mr. Ting told me how skeptical he was when an official from Sport Singapore, a government agency, asked him in 2016 to try to teach flippa ball to seniors. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

IP student drops out to study fashion and is now a cosplay influencer; No injuries in Tuas Port crane collapse: Singapore live news
Elise Lim was on the "safe path" to success – she qualified for the Integrated Programme (IP) after her Primary School Leaving Examination, and managed to get into the Art Elective Programme to pursue her interest in art. However, she stepped away from it all in her fifth year of the IP at National Junior College to study fashion at Temasek Polytechnic (TP). She had cultivated an interest in cosplay during her fourth year, and tried making character wigs and props, and tailoring costumes. She is now a cosplay influencer on TikTok with 94,000 followers. A new crane tipped over at Tuas Port during its delivery on 15 June to a non-operational berth. No injuries were reported in the accident. In a joint statement on the same day, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and port operator PSA Singapore said an assessment of adjacent port equipment and facilities has found no damage. The incident is under investigation. Read more in our live blog below, including the latest local and international news and updates. Singaporeans love to travel and that isn't lost on the telcos who are seeking to woo globetrotters with 'borderless' mobile plans at low prices. With these plans, consumers can use a generous bundle of mobile data across borders without paying more, or activating a travel e-SIM or roaming feature. M1 is the latest telco to jump on this trend with its Maxx plan that offers 290GB of data for use in Singapore and Malaysia for a monthly record low price of $7.90. The plan also includes 10GB of mobile data for use in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. Singapore's virtual telco started this trend in September 2023 when they launched a monthly plan that let customers use 100GB across eight Asian destinations (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh). The plan cost $30 monthly for the first three months, then $37 after that. Fabian Sossa, vice-president of corporate and global marketing at said: "The plan is designed for mobile professionals, digital nomads, students, tourists and families with cross-border ties... essentially anyone who needs connectivity across multiple countries without friction."

Business owners in Johor Bahru (JB), especially hawkers, have raised concerns to the authorities about the impact of Singapore commuters on their businesses. The issue seems to centre around the fact that parking spaces near the CIQ complex and JB City Centre have been monopolised by Johor residents who commute to Singapore for work. These workers typically park as early as 5am, and return as late as 8pm. It was reported that workers even occupy designated lots for these businesses, removing cones and disregarding reserved signs. A hawker in Perling said she found that her allocated business lot had been taken when she arrived to her stall one morning. At the Iskandar Malaysia Food Court in Gelang Patah, a stall owner claimed nearly 20 vendors have experienced declining profits over the past two years due to this ongoing issue. For more on the challenges JB food vendors face over parking lots, read here.

She had cultivated an interest in cosplay during her fourth year, and tried making character wigs and props, and tailoring costumes. Lim said, "It's not common for people to drop out of the IP, and a lot of parents could be worried that this is an unstable future, which is true, because the design and art field is unstable." Yet, after three years, the 19-year-old has achieved some level of success in her field with more than 94,000 followers on TikTok where she posts tutorials on how to make wigs, and other cosplay content. On Instagram, she has 12,200 followers. Lim is now in her third year of the fashion design and management at TP. She juggles studies and taking on commission orders for wigs on a first come, first served basis. The prices of her wigs range from US$100 to US$700 (S$130 to S$900). Lim's mother, who only wanted to be known as Mrs Lim and declined to reveal her occupation, said, "I'm proud of Elise and generally supportive of her love for crafting... My main concern is her frequent exposure to chemicals when making wigs, and I hope she takes care to protect herself."
