慈缘轩 (Ci Yan Xuan) Chinatown

Cold noodles! Another speciality of Ci Yan Xuan.
Though I am not hungry, I decided to pack back for supper. :P

No regrets, the cool & refreshing noodles (White Jade noodles) with its unique gravy is a delicacy on its own even without the shreds of salad vege & fried wonton skin. A great dish on a warm night. :-) Very satisfying!:-)

Address: 8 Smith Street (shophouse near end of Food Street)

Tel: 6225 9026 (If you want to confirm menu of the day:P)

Usual Opening Hours: 12pm-10pm

普香素食 (Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre)

This is one of the new stalls (#02-144) I noticed which is located beside the escalator. In the day, it sells mixed rice & dishes while in the evening it sells Stir-fry dishes such as Vegetarian Fried Hokkien Noodles, Fish Soup and what I tried tonight, the Shredded Chicken Vermicelli.

This is cooked like the "San Mee" version except that a much finer version of the noodle is being used. Personally, I prefer this Vermicelli to the original "San Mee" as being finer, it absorbs the gravy better and more crispy even if not soaked. Instead of "shredded chicken", they replaced with "mixed" ingredients. There is generous portion of mushroom and mock products which included my favourite Gold Pieces. The tasty gravy below the Vermicelli is more than enough to soak the Vermicelli which I think is an important aspect for nice "San Mee".

Nice, recommended to try. :-)

This stall is located at #02-144. From Escalator facing the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, you can see it on your left on your way up the escalator.

Lao Di Fang Vegetarian 老地方素食 (Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre)

Great news! Discovered a few more new vegetarian stalls at the newly reopened renovated Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre. And one of it is Lao Di Fang Vegetarian at economical price.

I tried its Black-Pepper Fried Udon ($3.50) & Egg-Plants ($4.80) which I find quite value for money. It is a good alternative if you want to taste the Lao Di Fang's delicacies as they seem to have a variety of them. However, for their famous Spicy noodles, I would still prefer the version at their restaurant at #01-38, Apollo centre.

The stall is located at #02-158. From Escalator facing the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, keep to your left and go straight once you are up the escalator and turn left after the corner hand-made soy-drink stall. You will find it on 1st corner stall on your right.

Kwan Inn Vegetarian Food 观音斋

At $2, their special of the day: Kway Chap is generous with ingredients and filling. :-)
At $3, their fish soup meehoon is also value for money. The soup has a mild ginger taste and serves with 2 pieces of white bean curb, bean curb-skin rolls, 3 pieces of bean curb-skin mock fish (I had eaten 2 pieces to allow space to show the meehoon:P), vege and seaweed. Taste good too.:-)

It is located at corner coffee shop at Blk134 Geylang East Ave1, 2nd bus top from Aljunied Mrt. Opposite Tan Swie Hian Museum.

Brown Rice Vegetarian, Kopitiam at Harbour Front

Located at Harbour Front's Basement One Kopitiam foodcourt, this is a new stall name that I encounter. I decided to try its Hor Fun and surprised that it came out to be Dark Soy-sauced Hor Fun, different from usual plain Hor Fun.
With generous portion of mock ingredients, tofu & vege, and Hor Fun, it is quite worth trying. :-)

随缘素食 (Kopitiam at Tiong Bahru Plaza)

Another visit to 随缘, this round, I ordered its Fried Hokkien Noodles.
So far I hadn't been able to find nice vegetarian Fried Hokkien Noodles and quite disappointed with the few that I tried recently. But surprisingly 随缘did it quite well this round. What's important is the soup/gravy stock to make the Fried Hokkien noodles nice and what I had tried today had a close resemblance to the original Fried Hokkien Noodles taste that I used to like. It would have tasted even better if the noodles had been given time to simmer & absorb the stock. I love their chilli which tasted like the Belachan chilli found in traditional Fried Hokkien Noodles stalls. :-)

Located at Tiong Bahru Plaza Food Court - Kopitiam (3rd level) near entrance.

素满园 (Suntec City Fountain Food Terrace)

This is like fusion between chinese & western food: Black pepper chicken chop sandwich. The bun is like those plain chinese bun but it goes well with the well-flavoured black pepper sauced mock meat. The sauce is spicy enough:-), fries and the mock meat are also well-fried. I feel full already after finishing 2 buns, so you can either share the 3rd with your friend.:P or 3 can share 1 each as snacks. Can try:-)

It is located near the food court entrance near Pasta Mania.
