慈素轩 ( Maitree ) Cafe

The new interim cafe located at JingMing Temple during its renovation offers a variety of main dishes and snacks at price range of $3-$5. Very reasonable prices for the quality.  I visited it at an chaotic hour when there was a talk later in evening so it was packed. Managed to get my order of dry noodles and sugarcane prawns after long wait.
I find the noodles of reasonable taste and would like to recommend the sugarcane prawns that were well done. At price of $3, really worth it!

Grove 一素


I was much excited to visit Grove after reading good reviews online at their new outlet at the renovated SingPost Centre (opposite PayaLebar MRT/Paya Lebar Square) #01-151.
Their concept is very much like GreenDot to serve Bento set & dry/soup noodles at similar prices. I asked what was recommended and was advised to try their dry noodles and Laksa Lamian. As it was cool weather to go for a hot meal, Laksa Lamian was the choice made.  Well, I would say I like the accompanying ingredients of bean curd skin rolls and mushroom, etc. but find the gravy not as thick and spicy as expected. In this, GreenDot's Laksa scored more points in overall taste. Also ordered their side dish of Monkey head mushroom skewer. it was deep-fried and perhaps left for display for sometime, was not warm and hence reduce the satisfactory taste. Despite above points, I may return to try their dry noodles again...

Big portion given by owner who recognised long time old customer who had not visited the stall since changed job venue. :-))

This stall is located at Basement 1 of cafeteria of Singtel Comcentre at Somerset.
No name ( just known as stall m ) but easily located when you visit the cafeteria, entering from door leading to car-park.
