ELEMEN


Visiting Suntec, decided to drop by ELEMEN @ Millenia Walk to try its dishes.
On day of visit they only have choice of 8 course set or Ala carte dishes...
As we are not hungry, we decided on ala carte dishes.
1st came the Spinach salad, which was cold but with nice presentation and sauce.
Then their Spicy Shitake with Purple Rice Roll... hmm... it would tasted much better if the filling inside the rice roll ~ believed to be fried flour pieces could be less and the rice more moist as after eating a few pieces, the overwhelming taste of the filling of fried flour pieces does not encourage one to finish the dish. :-P
Among the 3 dishes, the 3rd dish of Asia Curry with Dough Balls is more interesting.
I like the vegetables cooked in the mild curry gravy, especially the weird shaded romanesco broccoli, which goes well with the baked cheese dough ball (tasted like prata rolled :P).
Business is quite good for Elemen on day of visit, it was quite packed and that is a good sign and hopefully their service and quality of  improve and business sustain for vegetarians to have another choice...

Elemen is located at
9 Raffles Boulevard
#01-75A/76 Millenia Walk
Singapore 039596

Su Si Xuan

So Sad! This stall had closed down...
--------------------------------------------
Geylang can really be vegetarian's paradise with so many choices. From local delights to fusion dishes.
This is another vegetarian stall at the corner coffeeshop near the main road of Lor25 Geylang, 1st stretch of shophouses from Aljunied MRT.
It is more on local delights selling economical rice with dishes as well as stir-fry dishes like Hor Fun, etc.
We had the Fried carrot cake which was quite nice & soft and the menu for the day: "Xiang Wei Ramen" or literally translated as "Fragrant Ramen" which was quite unique. The noodles tasted like Jap Ramen that was accompanied with what I would consider as salty dark sauce that matched with pickled vegetables which is also salty in nature. For those who likes stronger gravy, you could try.

Nature Vegetarian (Sin Ming Ave)

Does this look good? Its presentation is more towards the traditional dark-sauced carrot cakes that we expected. For some who like it to be slightly burnt, I guess you can request.... The carrot cake is much softer though not as springy as 一心's. But the chilli is great and added points to the dish.:-)
However, the stall serves dishes with eggs as well so if you don't take eggs, you must inform in advance. The dish I ordered above is without eggs and it proved that vegetarian carrot cakes can be as tasty and fragrant as well.

The coffee shop is located at 409 Sin Ming Ave, #02-01 (Opp Bright Hill temple) Opening hrs: 7am to 9.30pm

一心素食, Chinatown

At the request of a friend looking for nice vegetarian fried carrot cake, I was quite lucky to come across 2 stalls to recommend to her.

One is at 一心. Although it may not look dark and sweet enough as per what we usually defined as nice for fried black-sauced carrot cake, it turned out to be sweet as well for the white pieces and the carrot cake is springy!!! I would think the standard is better than alot of non-vegetarian version! :-)

Located at a coffeeshop at 39 Temple Street, 一心素食 is just near centre of street opp Lucky Chinatown, beside stretch where the new Grand court Vegetarian restaurant is. Opening hours: 8am to 10pm Daily.
