八仙素食 (Koufu - Toa Payoh central)

Special of the day: Nasi Bryani (Yellow Ginger Rice).
The curry mutton & its gravy (nice) helps me to finish the big portion of rice.:-)
But they used normal wonton skin instead of the Indian type of flour crackers.
Would prefer the latter though.:P
The stall also sells stir-fry dishes like Mee Goreng as well as Mixed Rice dishes and Ngian Toufu.

The foodcourt is located above NTUC opposite OCBC bank at 2nd level.

Classic Lao Di Fang Vegetarian Restaurant PL

This is my favourite Fried Beancurb (脆皮豆腐). Very nice when taken hot, although it looks like you can swallow a piece in 1 mouthful, pls don't try to do that as the interior is steaming hot. It will hurt your tongue. I wish they could spare more of the special soya sauce which they had cut a small hole at the centre of the beancurb so that the interior could absorb & taste even better.

My favourite Spicy Noodles (麻辣锅烧面). With generous portion of vege, white & red carrots, corn & I must mention their mock meat. Although I generally don't like mock meat (which they call it mock beef here), they had marinated it so well that it tasted excellent. I tried cooking before using the instant frozen product but somehow it taste different:P. And the noodles are nice - soft white fat noodles that goes well with its spicy soup. :-)
Peking Duck (北京烤鸭) A new try today & it turns out to be better than my expectation. The sauce brings out the flavour of the dish but they should provide more of the cucumber & carrot slices as they are not enough for the wraps.
HK Fried Noodles (港式炒面). Was expecting maggie mee type of noodles but it turn out to be my favourite Ee-Fu Noodles (伊付面). Taste wise not fantastic but ok lah.
Others to recommend are their sweet & sour duck pieces (酸甜鸭件) & Dim Sum carrot cakes :-) Yummy.:-)

Was told They are fr MOVING to Hotel Royal @ Queens, 12 Queen Street, #02-03 (near Spore Arts Museum) by end Jun09 to new shop at 9 Penang Rd, #B1-12 Park Mall on 19Jul09.

Ice Monster 冰馆

Ice with Mango & Strawberry Sherbet

After a tiring walk exploring Little India & feeling thirsty, we decided to take a break at this Ice dessert shop at "The Bencoolen".
With generous portion of sweet mango piling on top of the ice, we have no regrets ordering it. But we could do without the strawberry sherbet though as it taste abit weird (like not fresh oil taste:P)
What a delicacy on a warm day. :-) They have many other combinations and guess what???
I saw a Vegetarian label on its door. Cheers!!!:-)

Pine Tree (Food Junction at Bugis)

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.

香香小吃 Vegetarian Pureland

I have always heard from my friend that there is this 3 vegetarian shops beside the ABC market (near Ikea & Safra). I finally managed to find my way there 1 good afternoon.

The centre shop with its unique signboard picture of a happy Panda chewing bamboo caught my attention. It is a small shop selling not only vegetarian food but also organic vegetables, nature health products and other vegetarian products. I could find the Rock salt that I introduced in my other blog there:-)

Nowadays, it's hard to find Soon Kueh with just nice texture of skin and I found it there. The skin is not too thick, though slightly thinner would be even more perfect but nice enough and the ingredients of turnip is fresh & crunchy.

I guess I would visit it again to try its other food such as sushi & noodles on its menu.

Located at Blk 11 Jalan Bt Merah, #03-4460 (If from Ikea & Safra, turn left & 1 block away from ABC market towards Bt Merah Central direction, or 3 bus-stops away from Bt Merah Inter-change)

Though unit is #03, but it is actually at level 1 to normal eye level & you find 3 impressive looking vegetarian shops side by side.

香香小吃 is closed on Sundays.

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

Their Menu of the Day: Handmade Flour pieces (面粉果)
which you can always find selling at those foodcourt handmade noodles stalls with the other popular handmade noodles, Ban Mian (板面).
The way of cooking here is slightly different, instead of simply boiling, I think the chef stir-fry it with soup. The flour pieces are also unique in shape with some waves (see the white pieces which look like fish slices, unlike the normal plain flat pieces at food-court stalls).
Taste is also different, more like those Shanghai rice cakes (上海年糕) or 刀削面.
Overall, quite nice.:-) Can try:-)

Address: 欢心素 (Huan Xin Su)Blk 1, Rocher Rd, #01-506
(Rocher centre corner coffeeshop, 2 doors away from the vegetarian cake house, opp Bugis OG, near the famous Simaru Guan Yin Temple)

Green Vegetarian Kitchen (Koufu, Commonwealth MRT)

Another visit to the stall, this time I decided to try its fish soup meehoon.
A big bowl of light soup (taste like with milk but very mild, maybe soya milk?) with fresh vege, seaweed and thin slices of mock fried fish (not bean curb skin type:P). I like its thick meehoon, very smooth & soft. It would be nice to have it with laksa :P

This stall is located near side entrance of Koufu Foodcourt beside Commonwealth MRT.
