My opinion:

V1 sells traditional Singapore mixed vegetable rice. The food here is so cheap that 3 meat items with rice only cost $2.00. This stall is almost like Xian Jian in Bedok North Street 1 Market and Food Centre (Block 216). I have tried their rice meal for $2.00.

The food quality could not match the "seductive" price tag. Rice was soft, sticky and poorly cooked. Curry was watery and had a pungent taste. It further worsen the sticky rice and really made it look like porridge. The food items were average tasting and had an oil taste. There are too many good curry rice or mixed vegetable rice alternatives in the Chinatown area for me to visit this stall ever again.
