Green Vegetarian Kitchen (Koufu, Commonwealth MRT)
I like porridge cooked in cantonese style, usually soft & tasty. I find few vegn stall selling such porridge. The only other one I know is the vegn stall at Hong Lim complex food centre (2nd flr) beside the fishball noodles. They have nice peanut porridge in cantonese style (with ingredients like vegn fish cake slices etc, haven't been there for long time so can't recall exact ingredients) that goes well with the best vegn otak I find so far (but their otak is with egg :P that made its texture smoother than those in mkt without)
Sweet & Sour Pork!!! Was steaming hot, fresh out from wok when I ordered the porridge. It looked so good that I couldn't resist to order. I think this is so far the best replica I had tried. The sweet & sour flour covering was very well-done & the texture of the mock meat was very much like the real meat taste that I could recall. I asked my mum who is non- vegn to try & she complimented it was nice & tasted like the real stuff too. However, it has to be eaten hot or else will lose its texture feel (口感) when it turns cold.

Kampung Senang (Aljunied)
If you are sick of eating mock products, and want to try something more natural & healthy, you can visit them. (I think I had been eating too much outside food & mock products & flavouring recently that I start to miss their organic healthy food)
Just visited their web & found out that in this festive season, they have specially prepared Organic Goods hamper, Festival Salad (Yusheng) with fresh home-made cream and Cashew Nut (from 5 - 13 Feb 2008) and
Steamboat Reunion buffet (from 26 Jan to 2 Feb 2008 for lunch from 11.30am to 2.30pm and/or Dinner from 5pm to 7pm. Kindly book 3 days in advance.)
My impression of vegn steamboat is usually mock products so I wonder what would be their ingredients as Kg Senang does not advocate mock products. Would be interesting to try:-)
For more info, pls refer to their web: http://www.kg-senang.org.sg/
Blk. 106 Aljunied Crescent #01-205 S380106 (nearest MRT: Aljunied)

Forks & Spoons Food Court (Toa Payoh Central)
At $3.30, you can choose rice, meehoon or noodles with 3 side dishes with free bowl of soup. It has quite a variety of dishes such as peanut sauced seaweed, vegn satay, mock meat & fresh vege & you see long queue during lunch hour. I must compliment their free soup. The soup so far I have seen are white toufu with red dates, or cabbage with dry wolfberry which is considered well-boiled for a free version.
Located at Forks & Spoons Food court 2nd level, building beween HDB hub & Courts building

Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant (Coronation Shopping Plaza)
Vegn sharks fin - Nice!!! Using shredded bean curd skin, was able to create texture of crab meat sharks fin, would surely order this again during next visit.
Err, forgot the name but I think it is supposed to be seaweed roll wrapping Golden needle mushroom & something else. I think the flavor of the seaweed is too strong that it covered other ingredients.
Sambal Sweet Potato Leaves - VERY NICE!!! I think they do it even better than KangKong. Should try!!!
Hot-plate Toufu - Nice
Yam ring-ave, maybe by now we are so full:P
Their business is quite good considering a non-vegetarian day, so do call for booking if you need a big table. :-)

Nature Vegetarian (Sin Ming Ave)
With shreds of vegn chicken & generous portion of bean sprouts, the soup is mild in taste (has a slight replica taste but mild) with flavour enhanced by the sliced chilli & the most important ingredient is the shredded vege which is sprinked on it. I think for real mee soto, this vege is also there to enhance the fragance of the soup, tasted like mini celery stalk, not sure its vege name:P
So far didn't fancy vegn fishball, always taste rubbery & feel could choke on them:P. I think the dish can do without fishball & replace by maybe mushroom instead to enhance the soup flavour.
Generally taste ok lah, well enough to be called mee soto:-)
Noticed that there are many unique replica dishes at Nature Vegetarian, eg. Hakka 算盘子 & mee soto etc, maybe if you crave for anything & suggest to them, they will help you recreate in vegn form. :-)

This is new stall name to me. Besides selling mixed rice dishes, it has alarte dishes, Menu of the day like Lor Mee, Mee Rebus, Tom Yam Mee Hoon etc and also a small section selling 油条,蝴蝶 (deep fried twisted dough/sticks).
As I was craving for western food, I decided to order its Vegn black pepper sauce pork chop with spaghetti.
This stall is located near entrance of Koufu Foodcourt beside Commonwealth MRT.

Tian En Vegn Food (Beside Aljunied MRT)
but will be moving back on 16 Jul 2013 after renovation
Another new listing! Just at the corner of Aljunied MRT, there is this coffeeshop. I think the stall shd be less than 6mths old, always passby to CiHang without noticing (thot it as another mixed rice stall) until this rainy day when seeking shelter. Indeed it has great variety of dishes for the rice/mee hoon.

Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant (Coronation Shopping Plaza)
It is eaten with similar method like the Peking duck, using a piece of lettuce? to wrap the slice of "pork" with the special sauce and cucumber. If eaten alone, the pork will taste oily but it tasted wonderfully with the combination of vegetables.
(Dark sauce Fish) - ave
(Claypot Chinese Medicine- flavored Toufu)
The toufu was nicely fried & smooth however we can't really taste its Chinese medicine flavour :P Maybe it could also be bec our taste bugs were numb after tasting all the earlier dishes which were more of dark sauce flavour :P
Before we left, I noticed that its poster showed Cold Dish Combinations which look nice, maybe I wld try that next round.

Yuan Wei Quan Vegetarian (YWQ)
Well, what to do? inflation lor :-(
Another popular soup mee hoon I like. Nice to have when you need something "soupy" to warm your stomach.
Its fish is well fried & thinly sliced to taste it in 1 mouthful. It is still crispy as added after soup is prepared except for portion dipped in soup. Its soup base is with milk so if you add chilli to it, it becomes semi-laksa. :-)
The foodcourt is located at B1 of HDB Hub. You can either enter thru basement carpark entrance or from entrance besides McDonald from Bus interchange. The stall is located at far right end if from entrance besides McDonald.
