Fo You Yuan Vegetarian Restaurant

Shifted to 30 Lavender Street S'pore 338815

Located along the stretch of shop houses just directly opposite City Square Residences, S recommended to try this vegetarian restaurant which she recently visited.

We tried their Longevity's Noodles - quite nice:-) Soft & Smooth.
Claypot Brinjal with Petai - the dish's sauce is usually saltish in other outlets but here they do it with a plum sauce, unique taste. The dish should be more sparingly cooked with Petai to justify the name of the dish.

Vietnamese Prawn roll - may not look as presentable but quite nice, it's actually mashed potato fried with centre edible sugarcane stick that you could chew on.

Lastly, we end the feast with their ice-cream dessert: Fruit Gelato : Peach Fantasy and Lemon Limet.
At the size of the clenched fist, most of the Fruit Gelato were beautifully moulded into their representing fruits, especially the peach alike gelato that we originally could not bring the heart to eat it.
The refreshing Lemon Limet (refreshing mild sourness after a heavy meal) is strongly recommended.:-)

Happy Vege Vege Garden

Located at Blk 332 of Ang Mo Kio Ave1, it is a vegetarian coffee shop by itself near the lift area. It sells a variety of Tze Char dishes and decided to have something hot, I ordered its "Yi Ping Guo" (literally translated as "1st Grade Hotpot"). Nice smooth La-mian like noodles with simple soup base.

What makes it 1st Grade? I think is that sprinkle of Chilli at the centre.

Nice Hong Kong style of Belacan chilli that is spicy that greatly enhanced the flavour of the soup.:-)

慈缘轩 (Ci Yan Xuan) Chinatown

Visited Ci Yan Xuan and noticed some new dishes that I had never tried before on its Today's Menu ~ Claypot Noodles & Steam Tonic Soup.
There are 5 types of Tonic soup to choose from at $6.80 each. I believe they will be of quality ingredients for the price. However, craving for soup noodles, I decided to try their Claypot noodles.

Though it came in a small pot than expected, it was quite filling. It was served with Yi-mee and usual vegetables as per normal Tze Char stall and tasted as authentic. I like their gravy that I ended up almost finishing the whole pot of gravy as well. :P Having Hot steaming noodles in an air-conditioned environment is really an enjoyable experience.:-) The boss said they will be adding more dishes such as Claypot Beancurd and Fried noodles in the evening menu too.

And on enquiry on when they are serving the Bibimbup, the boss revealed that they had just ordered vegetarian ingredients to prepare Bibimbup from their Korean supplier. They could only arrive in 1-2 weeks' time, so to call daily then to find out when we could savour that again. Sure looking forward to try it again!

NATURE'S HARVEST CAFE

Saw the signboard near the window while crossing the street, realised that YOGI House at #02 corner of Fu Lu Shou Building changed owners. However, its interior design remained pretty much the same and still an organic cafe.

We tried their Thai Tofu which had thoughtfully separated its hazelnuts powder at a side. The beancurd was of nice texture with a nice sauce and initially we thought the powder was minced of peanuts & cashew nuts but clarified that it was hazelnuts!:-)

Next Organic cafe's favourite: Salad Sushi. No aloud ingredients, just mainly fresh and crunchy turnip and red carrots sprinkled with mock floss. Remains my favourite.:-)

Their dry noodles came with an appetising look and taste, accompanied with nice winter-melon taste alike soup. Nice bowl of noodles with black fungus, seaweed, carrot slices, red pepper slices, mushrooms, bean sprouts and mini corn.
I saw another table ordered their soup noodles which looked appetising too.
Will keep that in mind for next visit!:-)

Located at Fu Lu Shou building #02-08, at a corner amidst the crystal shops.

Bishan Vegetarian

Revisited Bishan Central and glad to find Bishan Vegetarian still operational.
Ordered their Lor Mee which the pot of Lor gravy looked kind of unappetising. However, surprisingly it was the famous Tiong Bahru thick gluey type which with appropriate vinegar tasted quite authentic. Forgoing the mock char siew & duck pieces, I was given a big mock fishball which was quite chewy and another time their vege dishes.
Generally, quite enjoyable as dish came hot & steamy.:-)

Located just above the food centre above the Bus Interchange, Up from the colorful stairs near the traffic light, you can see it just beside a fishball noodles stall.

Just Green Vegetarian Food (Tampines)

Went to Tampines again and the nearest vegetarian stall within Tampines Central seems to be only "Just Green" at Eastlink Food court. It does have a great variety of dishes to choose from, especially on bean curd dishes that I always couldn't resist ordering. Their next speciality is their 3 sticks of satay at $1.50. I would think their satay mock meat texture is well-marinated & has great resemblance in chewiness and taste to the real stuff. Worth trying especially for those who used to love satay.
It's good that they also serve free soup during lunch as that really warms one dining at the unusually strong air-conditioned food court that chills.:-P

Ru Lai Zhai Vegetarian Food

Thinking our blue-chaser class started last week, we arrived there to discover we had both made a mistake, H & I proceeded to Ru Lai Zhai for a relaxing dinner instead. Ordered their Mee Hoon Goreng & Claypot Bean curd. Well, they miraculously served both dishes just after we had placed order for drink again. Speed must be their motto. :P

The Mee Hoon Goreng tasted more like Fried Tom Yam Mee Hoon to me instead as the spicy chilli was more to the Tom Yam chilli sourness taste. The Claypot bean curd was superb, the type of braised smooth bean curd that I adore, and that brown gravy was appetising that we used to lower the Tom Yam-ness of the mee hoon. :-)

Ru Lai Zhai is located at Blk 24 Sin Ming Road corner Coffee-shop #01-51 (near multi-storey car-park).
Opens daily 8am-9pm except day after 1st & 15th of Lunar month.
