Vegetarian Food at Circuit Road Food Centre!

It's really convenient with Mattar mrt!
From exit B, one can see the popular food centre praised by many vegetarians.
My friend brought me to his favourite stall which serves his favourite nasi lemak available only on Saturdays. (On right stretch if coming from mrt direction)
Rice really fragrant and well cooked. And I like the Achar and the panda leave wrapped chicken ?
Can try again when have craving for nasi lemak.  😊

Friend recommended a soup stall after we finished the nasi lemak and wanted to look for something soupy. It is on the left stretch of the food centre when coming from direction of Mattar mrt exit B.
They have pumpkin corn soup other than the vegetarian shark fin soup we tried at $3 per bowl.
Thumbs up 👍👍got restaurant standard or much better than the one served by a  restaurant  I visited recently 😐
Being served on such porcelain bowls also added more points !! 😁

Vegetarian stall (Kopitiam at Tiong Bahru Plaza)

When I crave for simple curry rice , I will visit this vegetarian stall at Tiong Bahru Plaza #03 Kopitiam. I like their curry gravy and it comes with free hot salty soup to entice one's appetite. :P

Vege pot (Fortune Centre)

NICE sesame monkey's head mushroom rice set which I upgraded the rice to Briyani rice and great meal!!!

Vege pot, vegetarian eatery at Fortune centre, at rear end of level 2 (#02-31). Operates daily except Wednesday from 11am-9pm with last order at 8pm. Opens on Lunar first & fifteen too.

八仙素食 (Koufu - Toa Payoh central)

Nice Briyani rice with nice curry gravy and sweet chilli that made it into an excellent combination! 

Where?

Vege pot (Fortune Centre)

Nice Nasi Briyani set , nice flavoured rice and curry that also comes with a bowl of vegetables soup. And their home-made Dumplings soup. :-)

EcoHarmony Cafe

Tried their Abacus seeds (算盘子) at a catered buffet and love it but on visit to the cafe, discovered it is even nicer in terms of texture and have it at the nice cosy environment. 
We also ordered their  Daily special : Thursday set of Nasi Kunyit (nice curry!!!) and refreshing popiah set that comes with nice dessert (大麦, I usually don't fancy this dessert but they cook it really well).

EcoHarmony Cafe at Blk 106, Aljunied Crescent

Opens from 11.30am- 7.30pm.

Vegan Paradise

Returned for their Mushroom Set Rice which I saw looked nice during last visit and decided to try now. Thumbs Up!
Nice gravy sauce that goes well with the mushrooms that I finished the big portion of rice easily.: -p

Vegan Paradise is located at corner coffee-shop (near main road) near traffic light, opposite Aljunied MRT.  Hard to miss it...

Food For Life

New vegetarian stall at Food court above Bishan Bus Interchange.

Thunder Tea Rice on its Daily menu. The cubes of vegetables, mushroom and bean curds were nicely cooked and cut. Crunchy pickles and the Thunder tea soup made it an authentic dish. It would be even better if more and thicker version of soup given. But generally quite nice and right portion for me.

It also has vegetarian Rojak,  perhaps another time....

慈缘轩 (Ci Yan Xuan) Chinatown

The brown rice set is popular among the vegetarians & there is some speciality added today: Brown Rice Nasi Bryani! I like their QQ spicy flavoured brown rice, very flavorful with good variety of vegetables and the fragrant mock mutton (mushroom stem) curry accompanying it.

 

They also serve Baked Millet Rice for the day & it tasted like Fried Rice, soft and yet has some "Q"ness. Flavourful millet rice too, will be even more popular if  more vegetables can be given as side dish. :-P

Ming De Vegetarian

A friend informed me of a new Vegetarian eatery shop near Lavender MRT, actually not new, was informed later that it is 1 year old already.

It has rice set menu ($3.50-$4) such as Tofu Braised in Soy Sauce which we ordered, Gong Bao Soy Chicken, Sweet & Sour Soy Pork etc. It also has a variety of Ala Carte Dishes of Vegetarian fish, meat, seafood and tofu at quite reasonable prices of $6 (S) - $14 (L).
The Braised Tofu tasted okay, not saltish but a pity the rice was not served steaming hot. The Vegetarian Sharks Fin Soup was quite nice and costed $5 for a big bowl that could serve 4-5. Very worth the price for the standard.:-)

Finally can have a quick dinner if going for Dharma Talk at the Tai Pei Buddhist Centre nearby during weekdays as it opens daily from 9.30am - 9.30pm.
However, pls note that they also serve eggs and hence important to inform them if you do not take eggs as they do not usually clarify and would serve the dishes with eggs by default. :-(

Ming De Vegetarian is located at Blk 808, French Road, #01-1171 S(200808)
(located at Kitchener Complex just behind Construction above Lavender MRT facing side road opposite Citylights)
It also does catering and can be contacted at 94551829/91074245.
Opens daily 9.30am-9.30pm

NutriHub the organic fusion cafe

Oh Yes, Long time not been to Nutrihub & signal received for the day that I need some healthy food so here I am to try the long absented healthy brown rice set of Nutrihub.
Yummy Buckwheat brown rice with pumpkin (abit cold which could had tasted better if warm), fresh caixin & carrot salad with unique tasty sauce.:-) And the weird taste 5/7 bean/grain soup which supposedly should be very nutritious.:P

Feel very healthy but still hungry after the meal. :P

Good for those on diet which I suppose I should be going on one soon , sob:-}, longtime no see friend commented that I look more "prosperous" again.;-PP

So sad Nutrihub moved away from Orchard to new address at 46 Temple street near Chinatown MRT from mid Jun 2011....

Create Healthy Lifestyle

Originally I thought "Create Healthy Lifestyle" was the slogan of the shop, then I realise after searching awhile, that's its shop name. It was always full-house whenever I visit Fortune Centre but with the new expansion of another outlet at #02-04, diagonally opposite, I finally get a chance to try its delights.

We decided to try its Nasi Briyani set and Eight Treasure Brown Rice set at $5.50 that is accompanied with a free bowl of delicious watercess soup (boiled with almond and fig).
Strongly recommend its Nasi Briyani set for those who can take spicy food. :-) The rice was fragrant and the potato well cooked with spicy curry and the spicier mock mutton made me feel more like in India than what I tasted in India. The green vege was also well-cooked and tasty.

Though the other brown rice set's side dishes may looked less tasty and smaller in portion in comparison, my friend highly compliment the Eight-Treasure brown rice and prefer it to Nutri-Hub's brown rice-set. The shop also serves interesting fruit yoghurt drinks which seems to be quite popular. ;-) Like other organic cafe, there is also a small section selling vegetarian products. At a much more reasonable price and expansion of seating capacity, I believe it is likely to be a threat to New Green Pasture Cafe.

Address: 190 Middle Road, Fortune Centre, #02-04, S(188979). It is located at Fortune Centre which is just a few minutes walk from the famous Kwan Im Temple at Waterloo street.

Vegetarian Stall at Singtel Comcentre Cafeteria

A new try on their Tuesday special: Vegetarian Roast Duck rice.

The vegetarian duck was those mock duck from bean products (not gluten :-)) and coated with a layer of flour which when fried became crispy & unique in taste. And it was served with Yam Rice! Very value for money at $2.50. :-)

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

NutriHub the organic fusion cafe

After recent heavy meals, I decided to let my stomach take a break and a good alternative would be to visit Nutrihub. They have a new dish on their menu: Chilli Tofu Miso Ramen. It was smashed beancurb and shredded mushrooms on top of the Ramen and the gravy was supposed to be abit spicy as name suggested, however, I can't taste the spicyness at all and have to add their very precious hand-made chilli which the owner/staff will personnally help you with to avoid wastage.:P It definitely tasted much healthlier...
The cafe is located at Cuppage Plaza, #B2-25 (behind OG Orchard, near Centrepoint).
Opening hours:- Monday to Saturday (10 am to 7 pm)Sunday (10 am to 4 pm) Enquiries: 67382746

New Green Pasture Cafe

Fortune centre is also a delightful place for Vegetarian food lovers.
From what I know, there are at least 3 vegetarian outlets , 1 vegetarian bakery, 1 vegetarian supply shop at its level 1,
1 organic cafe, 2 vegetarian local delights outlet at level 2,
and 1 organic cafe at level 4.

And I am introducing this organic fusion cafe at level 4 which is also a pioneer in organic vegetarian fusion food. You could find variety of Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese delights here. And it also has a wide range of organic supplies.
Their soba salad which is soba with similar to CNY Yusheng vegetables and sauce is my favourite. It had been sometime since I last visited and its menu had expanded and there is a really a good variety and is a great place to visit with friends to share.
Craving for rice instead of noodles that day, I decided to try their Korean Stone Pot Rice, Bibimbup. Not well reflected in the picture, it was a beautiful replica of the original non-vegetarian version.
The Egg-yolk like at centre if I recall correctly, tasted like small roasted potato with belachan chilli stuffed below it, the yellowish on top left are mashed beancurb, other ingredients included shreds of carrot, seaweed, mock meat floss, and the big bean sprouts. The set at $9.50 comes with nice kimchi (without garlic which is usually used in making of kimchi) and you may add $1 to get a bowl of soup of day that donates towards Vegetarian society. Portion is just right for a hungry me. I was surprised at the speed their dishes are being served and wished that they could have cooked slightly longer so that the rice would have the slight burnt sizzling taste. The owner who has a loud voice reminds me of Mdm Wong of Ci Yan Xuan who also serves fantastic Bibimbup but is only on their ad-hoc menu of the day. (Must try shd you visit on that lucky day!!!) Their concept of organic healthy vegetarian food seems to be very similar too...

This is their bamboo rice, very beautifully decorated, unlike what I thought of traditional way it will be served. The rice is very fragant & sweet with a good variety of ingredients. Yummy...

New Green Pasture Cafe is located at Fortune Centre which is just a few minutes walk from the famous Kwan Im Temple at Waterloo street.

7 Sensations

Having heard much recommendations about 7 Sensations located at Little India and with the incentive of discounts from the Singapore Vegetarian Food Guide, I finally made a trip there with my rather anti-vegetarian sister and her vegetarian friend.
I had wanted to try the Clam Chowder Soup that ilovemyveg recommended but it was not on the menu (guess it is soup of the day) so we tried their Soup of the day: Carrot soup instead.

This is the 1st time I tried carrot soup in western style & a pleasant surprise. It was rich and creamy, and sweet like the pumpkin soup that I love. If they serve it with nice crunchy bread, it could be a fulfilling meal by itself.


The Mango and Avocado salad was also a great appetiser, wish they had more avocado and sauce to go with it.

Then, the Lasagne, very rich and cheesy, nice too but I wonder why they add the sweet sauce (I think the type usually used for the popiah) on top of the lasagne, somehow it spoils a bit of the taste.
It is a vegetarian fusion restaurant that serves Asian delights as well. We decided to try their Korean Hot Pot Brown Rice. It is a nice big pot with good portion of vegetables and mock meat shreds. The soft brown rice, reminded me of the tasty Taiwanese brown rice of the short grain type tried during my trip to Taiwan earlier in the year. The light sichuan vege soup that comes with it tasted refreshing.
The portion of the main courses at 7 Sensations are rather hugh and filling, so the recommendation is to order 2 main dishes for a company of 3 so that you may have some room for their tempting cakes as dessert. It is also a cosy place for gathering with friends and family. I am glad that my sis who usually has higher expectations on vegetarian meals commented that she will return for future meals with her non-vegetarian friends. :-)

The restaurant used to be located at 16 Madras street, Now at 9 Raffles Boulevard, #P3-07 (3rd Floor) Parco.

佳明素食 (Concorde Hotel Food Court)

This is from the other vegetarian stall at Orchard located at the old Le Meridian or currently already known as Concorde Hotel, about 3 streets away from Centrepoint. Glad to find it still surviving well in the competitive food court which has many delights. It seems to be quite popular as the economical rice is quite reasonably priced with any 3 dishes at ave $3.30 that comes with a free bowl of soup (with wolfberries!). Their dishes do always look appetising and they also serve stir-fry dishes like Hor Fun, Laksa, Mee Goreng, etc.

Their Hor-fun is worth trying, using the slightly thinner version of Hor-fun, it is smooth & fragrant & the gravy is great!

My friend tried their laksa & commented that it tasted good, you can see from picture, the thick traditional gravy really looked appetising and the deep-fried dumpling that came with it. Oh, feel so sinful :p just with a look! I went to look for it a few times but they don't serve it daily. Instead, during the last visit, I managed to try their Spicy noodles (which they call "Hong Shao Mian"), which was very spicy chilly noodles accompanied with some over-cooked soggy mock mutton, but also worth trying for spicy lovers :-).

The stall is located near right turn from entrance, beside the popular Indian stall.

NutriHub the organic fusion cafe

I popped by Nutrihub today and tried their Daily Special Brown Rice set at $6 and with soup at $7 (I think the usual price for the daily special soup is $2) .
Very healthy and nutritious. Can see quite a number of patrons ordering the set. The soup that I tried that day was celery with 7? beans, tasted abit mushy and beany. :P

Nutrihub also holds weekend cooking workshops which you could find updates at their blog: http://www.nutrihub.blogspot.com/

The cafe is located at Cuppage Plaza, #B2-25 (behind OG Orchard, near Centrepoint).
Opening hours:- Monday to Saturday (10 am to 7 pm)

Oh, at same building level 1, just outside right rear entrance, you can find an organic pdts super-mart.:-)

甜甜屋 BB Home Sweet Home Cafe

(Replaced by new outlet...)
=======================
It is great to know more vegetarian places available at Bishan!
Originally I had intended to try Fo Xin again at S11 but saw a queue for it and as I was rushing for my class, I decided to make a detour to this new vegetarian shop introduced by Vegetarian Society's newsletter, located just a few steps away.
I recalled seeing All About Veggie's compliment about its rice sets and phew, no queue then and was warmly introduced to try their black bean sauced abalone mushroom rice which they promised could be served within a few minutes.

No regrets ordering it as it really came fast, and though I can't really taste the black bean sauce as it was named, it had a pinch of black pepper that made the gravy very appetising to go with the rice. The mushroom with the red pepper & vege were well cooked and hmm, I like the black pepper gravy which was not too spicy. I guess I will go back to try other rice sets in future ...:-)

It is located at HDB behind Bishan CPF building & Library, steps away from S11 coffee shop: 505A Bishan Street 11 #01-440 Singapore 570505.
Opening hours: 11.30 to 3pm, 5pm to 10pm. Rests on Thurs except if it's the 1st or 15th day of the lunar month

Nature Vegetarian (Sin Ming Ave)

Vegetarian Chicken Rice, fried vegetarian chicken drumstick with Azha, cucumber and tomato slices as side dishes. The rice tasted okay but flavour abit "disturbed" with too much dark soya sauce over it. I thought only white rice needed the dark sauce for roast pork.:P The drumstick was those common beancurb skin often seen. The chilli sauce, Must try!!! Fantastic! So far, the best replica of the chicken rice chilli with ginger taste tried. :-)

炸酱面(Zha Jiang Mian), one of the Special Menu of the day at their stall selling Ngian Toufu. I quite like their noodles, always well-cooked. This time, using the flat noodles, it was covered with mock meat cubes and gravy. Taste-wise okay lah, btw, I had long forgotten how the original meat version tasted liked so can't really compare it to the original version. :P

The coffee shop is located at 409 Sin Ming Ave, #02-01 (Opp Bright Hill temple)

Opening hrs: 7am to 9.30pm
