Pine Tree (Food Junction at Bugis)

Guess what is the brown item on the plate? No, it is not fried squid (though it looked like in picture:P). It is actually vegetarian fried drumstick. Freshly out from the kitchen, I couldn't resist adding it to my Sambal Fried Rice with Petai!Being just out from kitchen, it is crispy with well-fried coat of flour and the best part is its interior contains my favourite beancurb skin. Its "bone" support is actually sugarcane and not ice-cream stick, so at $1 per piece, I think it is worth trying. The brown stuff on it tasted like mashed ginger, very unique. I found out that they have quite nice mixed-rice dishes and that included fried cereal prawns that looked yummy!
Ok, back to the sambal fried rice with petai...
Well, you can taste sambal in the rice. Though not spicy, I like the taste of its soft rice. I wish they had marinated the petai with sambal chilli more, I can still feel the aftertaste after a day:P. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the meal:-) though it will be ages before I will dare taste petai again... Now I understand why Crystal mentioned that it needs strong accompaniments to mask its taste.

The Food court is located at 3rd level of Bugis Junction, and the stall is just beside the centre escalator.

Pine Tree (Food Junction at Bugis)

I went back for their 书香面汤 (Fragrant Book Soup Noodles) and asked for their Mee Hoon version. I think it went well with the soup which I grew to love. I couldn't stop finishing the soup, naturally sweetened with generous portion of red & white carrots.
My friend tried their curry fish set and although not spicy, it is quite nice with an Indian curry taste and Best of all, the mock fish is made of my favourite beancurb skin roll.;-)

Their Stir-fry Ramen, certainly tasted better than their soup ramen as it is not soggy:P. I noticed that they like to use raw cucumber slices as a garnish or side dish in their stir-fry dishes. Accompanied by the chilli, it is worth trying.

Pine Tree (Food Junction at Bugis)

I am certainly glad to come across the 1st Food Junction branch to have vegetarian stall.:-) The Food court is located at 3rd level of Bugis Junction, and the stall is just beside the centre escalator.
The noodles has been given a nice name: 书香面汤 (Fragrant Book Soup Noodles).
It is a generous bowl of soup with red & white carrots, mock meatball, mock cuttlefish, Sichuan Cai, black fungus , Lettuce & Xiang Cai sprinkled on top.
The noodles is a special type, I think it tasted & looked like plain, soggy Jap Ramen 拉面:P which I don't really like. Fortunately when eaten with Sichuan Cai, Sichuan Cai helped saved the taste.
Actually, the stall had a newspaper cutting that recommended its 书香米粉汤, the mee hoon version. I wonder why the noodles & not the mee hoon is on its menu instead. Maybe next round I will try the mee hoon version as recommended on the papers.

Fried Kway Teow, Nice in look & taste!! Using the slim Kway Teow version, it was well fried with sweet sauce & taste good with its chilli sauce. The lime, a good portion of vege & generous cucumber slices helped to reduce the sinful oiliness.:-)
