Updated menu on Monday! But I visited on Friday again for their noodles and feel like having soup version instead of dry version and enjoyed it!!!:-)

And glutton me could not resist ordering extra dishes from their rice dishes again. Generous portion given at $1 each that hard to find elsewhere...another Satisfying meal...😁

It is located at Basement 1 of Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum which is located at Chinatown: 288 South Bridge Rd, off Sago street or opposite the famous Maxwell food centre, nearest MRT: Outram/Chinatown MRT. It is open from 9am-3pm.

Dining Hall of Buddha Tooth Relics Temple

Had craving for dry noodles again and place thought of is the dining hall of BTRT.

Quick check on its daily special is Vegetarian Fish Ball noodles with Minced meat !

Managed to rush down before it is sold out and though the rice dishes looked tempting, decided to stick to my craving and enjoyed the meal. 

Had wanted to have a bowl of their dessert after a tour of the temple but was sad to find it being sold out!!!

Their daily special really must be grabbed before 1pm or earlier...

Onn Vegetarian

Craving for noodles, decided to visit this new vegetarian place that I read about nice noodles on this sunny weekend.
We tried their Vegetarian minced meat noodles ($3), it is the dark-sauced type rather than traditional Teochew vinegar type that i prefered but the noodles were Q. It came with beancurb alike pieces that tasted with fish cake texture, the marinated mushroom and the fried mock meat pieces which I suppose is their minced meat and their home-made green chilli made it a tryable dish.

As the picture on the stall made the Soup dumplings ($4) look so palatable like the home-made kind I was looking for, we ordered but was disappointed to find them to be those instant frozen type from suppliers. However, the soup was tasty that reduced the disappointment.

We also tried their Mee Rebus ($3) recommended, but the gravy was more like one of the Chinese gluey type of Lor Mee gravy verus traditional Malay Mee Rebus we usually associate the name with. Instead of having potato incorporated in the gravy, fried potato pieces (quite nice) was added to it, a unique variation. I do like their soup & may return for their Ban Mian which I think will come with their tasty soup base as the Soup Dumpling.

Stall is located at Corner Coffee-shop besides NTUC at Blk 5 Upper Boon Keng Road, just across the traffic light from Kallang MRT. Opens from 7am-8.30pm & closes on Sunday.

Xiu Yuan Good Food Cafe

Visited Bugis area & S has craving for Dry noodles and in good mood to try vegetarian version as well. So I brought her to Fortune Centre & we found Vegetarian Mushroom Minced Meat Noodles and Zha Jiang Noodles on the new vendor, Xiu Yuan' s menu.

The red bowl contained the Vegetarian Mushroom Minced Meat Noodles, noodles well cooked, smooth & gravy nice with fragrant slices of mushroom, phew, passed the test of S who is a dry noodles lover.

The Zha Jiang Noodles' gravy and mock ingredients was saltish as required & went well with the Lamian, but in comparison, we prefer the slim noodles used in the Vegetarian Mushroom Minced Meat to the Lamian used in the Zha Jiang Mian. This shop does also sell a great variety of dishes just like its neighbor, Pine Tree Cafe.

(I was told Xiu Yuan had just replaced Piao Xiang Vegetarian Food about a month plus while Piao Xiang had moved to level1, #01-01, near the entrance. As it maintained similar old setting & has similar menu as Piao Xiang, one could hardly notice the change of owners.)

It is located at 190 Middle Road, #03-03 (Fortune Centre), Singapore 188979
Opening Hours: Mon - Sun: 8.30am - 8.30pm, last order

Yuan Wei Quan Vegetarian (YWQ)

Bak Choy (minced meat) Mee Tai Mak or Mee Hoon is one of their later addition as special menu on Saturday. Nice portion of vinegar which is a must for nice Bak Choy noodles, with minced meat which tasted like otak with abit of spiciness (which I wonder if has egg ingredients inside as the stall does sell eggs as well ) , some mushroom slices and their ever crispy vegetarian fried "goose pieces".

On the menu of the day also, is vegetarian porridge which I noticed is actually congee style of porridge which looked good & finished fast just after lunch hours. (Greedy me with soft spot for congee had wanted to pack it home to try but was disappointed to find it fully sold. Next time perhaps...:P )

The food court is located at B1 of HDB Hub. You can either enter thru basement car park entrance or from entrance besides McDonald from Bus interchange. It is located at a corner nearer to basement car park entrance.

吾家有宝素食小站 VEGETORIUM

Visited the eatery place again, had wanted to try their fried prawn dumplings but it was not available. Ordered their Vegetarian Minced Meat Noodles this round, the well-done noodles came with quite a big portion of ingredients. They are currently having a promotion on hot drinks: tea, coffee, milo at only $0.50 in small traditional cups.

For those who missed the canned tomato sauce sardine, Strongly recommend their Sardine curry puff (different from Malay version of sardine puff) which the fillings and gravy is very replicate of the canned sardine, and you will ask the question: "Is this really vegetarian?" after a bite.

The shop (a bus-stop is in-front of it) is located along a stretch of shophouses (besides the pte apt: The Cassandra, Opposite Currency House) on 124 Pasir Panjang Road, S(118545).Operating hours: Mon to Sat 6.30am to 3pm; 5pm to 9pm. (Closed on Sun & Public Holidays)Tel: 64747 203

Rice House 粥大王

Had a wonderful lunch at Rice House, tried its new snacks: Beet Root Mushroom Roll, its Signature mushroom minced meat hand-made noodles & another new noodles: Spicy Tomato Soup Noodles.
The exterior is crispy with soft interior. The mushroom is nice but don't recall tasting beet root, nevertheless, nice & I would think reasonably priced at $3 for 3 pieces of sizes of normal fried springroll.:-)
This is their house signature hand-made noodles. Well-marinated sesame oil & soy & mushroom sauce? noodles that tasted much like the White Jade Noodles. One of my favourite dishes there:-)
My friend tried their new dish, the Spicy Tomato Soup noodles. I tasted the soup & find its taste unique like miso had been added to it, more saltish than spicy taste but my friend likes it and finds the noodles tasty. From the picture, the noodles do look nice:-)

They are located at Blk 129 Geylang East ave 1, beside Foo Hai Chan Monastery & Opposite Sims Ville Condo. May alight at 2nd bus stop from Aljunied MRT & walk further up & turn left to Monastery direction.
They are closed on Monday. Tel: 6747 3739

Mai Zhi Su (Bt Batok)

After reading alot from Veggie Bun's blog on MZS, I finally had a chance to taste its food when I requested my brother to help me buy dinner from the Bt Batok branch on his way home today.

Instead of adding mushroom, its Bak Chor Mee or Minced Meat Mee has fishballs & fish-cakes instead. Surprisingly, the texture of both are very much replicate of actual fishball & fish-cake. Very different from the usual mock fishballs & fish-cakes sold in market that are rubbery in texture. The texture of the noodles is smooth, very much like the thicker mee hoon version. Nice:-)

Originally I also ordered their "Black-black Face" recommended by Veggie Bun but was told that they do not have it today & was introduced "White-white Face" instead. Well, I thought that maybe the soup or noodles is different but in comparison to Veggie Bun's picture on "Black-black face", they seem to be similar. The noodles is also white in color, same texture as the Bak Chor Mee. Hmm, maybe the soup is slighter lighter in color than "Black-black Face"? Anyway, the soup has a very strong herbal taste, with nice mushroom & well cooked mushroom stalks as mock meat. It also has mock pork-rib :P . Overall, it is quite nice especially for those who like strong herbal soup.

We were told that MZS (BB) will be open for business on Day 1 of Chinese New Year. A good choice for vegetarians if you are looking for vegetarian eateries that day.:-)

It is located near Bt Gombak Mrt, at Blk 376, Bukit Batok St 31, #01-126, S(650376). Tel: 65630973. On its namecard, it indicated operating hours as Mon-Sun & PH: 7am to 10pm (Wow, no rest days :P).- sad to inform that this branch had closed down

May visit their AMK outlet at Blk 128 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 St 12#01-1853. Tel: 64563307.

欢心素 (Huan Xin Su) at Rocher Centre Coffee Shop

Yes, I was there again after visiting the Vegetarian cake house introduced earlier, & I couldn't resist ordering the Ba Chor mee again. I ask for take-away & It definitely taste good after all the simmering it could have with the travelling time home.

Looks good, isn't it? Remember to ask the chef to add more vinegar when you order the mee & when you pack back & open up, the nice smell of vinegar mixed with noodles. Even my sis, a non-vegetarian (who always say no to vegetarian:P) but noodles-lover admit that the standard is pretty good.

Of course, the stall does sell other dishes for eg. as per picture below: Fish Head steamboat & Tom Yam steamboat and other Stir-fry dishes like HoFun, Mee Goreng etcThe picture looks yummy, right? The chef told me the Fish head steamboat costs $5 which I think is pretty reasonable for mini-steamboat (Non-vegetarian could cost more?). I must make an effort to try other dishes next round I patron it again. Maybe you can try too & write me your comments :P

欢心素 (Huan Xin Su) at Rocher Centre Coffee Shop

There was this fine day I was visiting my friend living near the waterloo street and originally I wanted to popby the Eastern Vegetarian cake house when I saw that just 2 units away, the old coffeeshop was being newly renovated.

I went to take a look & saw that there is a new vegetarian stall (not the old stall selling vegetarian wantoon noodles etc). I was surprised that besides offering Mixed Rice dishes, it has many varieties including Vegetarian Fish steamboat & Dry Mushroom Minced Meat Noodles etc.

Its been ages since I last enjoyed the Dry Mushroom Minced Meat style of noodles ever since I quited pork so I decided to try. When I packed back, the noodles being simmered over the distance was still Q & nice with good portion of vinegar & the standard was pretty good. I enjoyed it so much that the next time when I was near the area, I ordered it again. This time, maybe without the simmering over the distance, the noodles are not as soft, nevertheless is still of reasonable standard. Next time, I will try other dishes at the stall .:-)
