Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant (Coronation Shopping Plaza)

Another visit to my family's all-time favourite with universal votes from young to elderly : Miao Yi Vegetarian.

Some new dishes this round:-)


Yam basket with mushrooms - scored points with its crispy texture of yam basket

Sweet & Sour chicken pieces - well-flavoured to attract non-vegetarian children
Mapo Tofu (Minced meat spicy beancurb)-Excellent gravy that goes well with rice:-)
Generally, if you are looking for authentic Chinese dinner dishes, this is the place to visit especially to introduce to die-hard non-vegetarian folks.

They are a good consideration if you are looking for Vegetarian outlets that open during 1st 3 days of Chinese New Year period.

Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant (Coronation Shopping Plaza)

Had another gathering here, this round we ordered the cold dish combination. However, was abit disappointed when was informed that the version shown on their poster with sushi was not available. Was recommended the alternative with 5 dishes: mock duck, sweet & sour chicken dices, fried prawn ball, minced meat, and tofu stick with white cabbage? We all like the sweet & sour chicken dices, very well done. Maybe next visit can find out if they have this dish on its own:P

Vegn sharks fin - Nice!!! Using shredded bean curd skin, was able to create texture of crab meat sharks fin, would surely order this again during next visit.
Err, forgot the name but I think it is supposed to be seaweed roll wrapping Golden needle mushroom & something else. I think the flavor of the seaweed is too strong that it covered other ingredients.


Sambal Sweet Potato Leaves - VERY NICE!!! I think they do it even better than KangKong. Should try!!!


Hot-plate Toufu - Nice

Ham sandwich - a piece of cucumber + ham+ bean curd skin. The bean curd skin was very crispy, well-fried :-)

Yam ring-ave, maybe by now we are so full:P

Their business is quite good considering a non-vegetarian day, so do call for booking if you need a big table. :-)

Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant (Coronation Shopping Plaza)

I have long heard about compliments for this vegetarian restaurant but only managed to visit it recently. My sis strongly recommended its vegn suckling pig after being there with her friends so I decided to make an effort to try it.
It is eaten with similar method like the Peking duck, using a piece of lettuce? to wrap the slice of "pork" with the special sauce and cucumber. If eaten alone, the pork will taste oily but it tasted wonderfully with the combination of vegetables.
(Vegetarian Suckling Pig)

(Salad Prawn) - I like it
(GongBao Monkeyhead mushroom)
Abit disappointed as it is more like Dark sauce rather than Gong Bao as not spicy enough & a bit too watery. The mushroom was coated with a thin layer of flour but mushroom itself was not well marinated so you can still taste its tough texture (I think the texture was similar to the frozen instant type which I bought before from supermart) .

:P I know it is not easy to cook the monkeyhead mushroom well, you need a lot of work to marinate and soften its texture. Well, I think the Best GongBao Monkeyhead Mushroom I tasted was many years ago at LingZhi. The chef then really marinated it so well that it tasted as smooth as chicken drumstick meat & I fall in love with this dish & monkeyhead mushroom ever since. A pity its standard was not maintained for my last few visits :-( I tried preparing it myself from the dried mushroom as well as the instant frozen food version but failed to get the texture close to the old Lingzhi std so I know it is not easy to prepare nice monkeyhead mushroom dish. :-( & I would always order this dish whenever I see it in the menu. If you know places that serve nice monkeyhead mushroom, do let me know:-)

(Yee Mee) - ok

(Dark sauce Fish) - ave

(Claypot Chinese Medicine- flavored Toufu)

The toufu was nicely fried & smooth however we can't really taste its Chinese medicine flavour :P Maybe it could also be bec our taste bugs were numb after tasting all the earlier dishes which were more of dark sauce flavour :P

Before we left, I noticed that its poster showed Cold Dish Combinations which look nice, maybe I wld try that next round.
