Lei cha is the Super Bowl of superfoods—and the namesake specialty at Thunder Tea Rice in Singapore. The traditional Hakka dish is presented in two parts: (1) the heaping bowl of jasmine rice topped with peanuts, diced tofu, crunchy little fish, and the mess of green vegetables seen here, and (2) a serving of mildly medicinal minty-green soup made from pounded tea leaves, herbs, sesame seeds, and nuts. Pour one over the other and you’ve got a power meal of epic proportions. Some even believe it eases cold and flu symptoms, helps treat diabetes, and lowers your cholesterol.
