Lan Xiang Yuan Vegetarian

At opposite WestMall, there is a vegetarian stall,  Lan Xiang Yuan Vegetarian, at the Verinice coffee-shop which is the along the same HDB stretch where McDonald is.
They have a variety of Stir-fry dishes including Western food as well as economical rice dishes.
Decided to try their Stir-fry "Dry Horfun", well, it turned out to be wetter than visualised but luckily it has abit of the wok-feel that I was looking for, so still not too bad. And I am really grateful to find a vegetarian stall at the region. :-)

Vegan Burg (Raffles Place)

Finally, I managed to visit Vegan Burg 's outlet at Golden Shoe Carpark #01-28D, which is located more to the right of the building and hidden behind a printing shop (forgot the name).
It is a hidden cosy corner...
As it was my 1st time there, I didn't know that they had conveniently pre-packed and place the burgers (that comes in an army tin container), fries and other snacks, drinks on the front for people to pick & pay at the cashier so I did it the traditional way of ordering from the counter.

Tried their Creamy Pepper Shrooms set that came with a drink & seaweed fries at S$11.85. 

Very filling meal,

it was certainly much pricier than McDonald set but already a blessing for those who miss such burgers...

Patrons especially the Caucasians, come in later and crowded the cosy corner.

Raffles Place is certainly a good place with a population that can pay the price and support the business.

Check out their web which they are opening more outlets in Spore: http://www.veganburg.com/contact-us/

Loving Heart Cafe

The weather was so hot that this round appetite was greatly lost and though the wall menu at Loving Heart Cafe was enticing, we decided to go for simpler food and the porridge/congee caught our eyes.

We each ordered their seafood and traditional?  porridge/congee? Plain porridge/congee with a slight taste and the fried mock pieces and ginger slices and pasley added flavour to it. Ending with the crispy fried fritters, it is a good choice on a hot day. :-)

Next time, I may try their Indian dishes...

Located at Blk134, Geylang East Ave1, #01-219, same HDB block as Kwan inn Vegetarian Food.



一心素食 Yi Xin Vegetarian, Chinatown

Back to Yi Xin for their noodles and wanting something appetising that night, decided to try their Spicy noodles again. The surprise is ... instead of using normal yellow noodles, the cook actually used the pasta noodles found in their new dish of spaghetti. It clicks with the spicy soup and made a wonderful combination that I will return for more.:-)

Located at a coffeeshop at 39 Temple Street, 一心素食 is just near centre of street opp Lucky Chinatown.

Opening hours: 8am to 10pm Daily.

Vegetarian Rojak and Popiah stall at Fu Lu Shou Complex

Visited the Bugis area & Glad to find out another vegetarian Rojak/Popiah stall had opened up at the old address of Uncle Rojak's stall at B1 of Fu Lu Shou Complex.

Long Long time didn't tried the popiah vegetarian version so was glad and ordered. :-)

Nice with crunchy vegetables and the minced fried pieces that added the crunchiness, can try...

Happy Boy Soya Bean

The new version of bean curd. Tastes smooth like almond jelly or pudding texture with different flavours available such as green tea, strawberry, blue-berries, etc.
It is supposed to be healthier and suitable for vegetarians as it does not contain gypsum/gelatin/preservatives and is supposedly rich in soya bean flavour.
Can see several places selling similar products with different brand names, another bubble-tea alike trend?
This new kid on the block has 2 outlets:
one at 51 Old Airport Rd #01-109 S390051 &
592 Geylang Rd S389531

Chin Swee Vegetarian Restaurant at Genting Highlands

It had been many years since I last visited the Chin Swee Caves Temple at mid of Genting Highlands, and its cave restaurant and nice veggie food still left a deep fond imprint in my memories.
It is great to know that there are now free shuttle bus services to the Chin Swee Temple from First World Hotel at hourly interval from 9am to 9pm except 1pm. It just takes 15min to travel from the hotel.
Just as I was wondering if the restaurant would still be there, we alighted just in front of the relocated restaurant which is just beside the reception of the temple hotel. And how modern the whole temple compound had developed into.
One is welcomed by the standing Amitabha Buddha at the door of the restaurant and the elegant atmosphere with the playing of the Great Compassion Mantra at the background makes one feel really relaxed.
Since it is early in the morning that we arrived, we were told only the simple stir-fry noodles/meehoon were available though later we saw more patrons coming in and ordered the more sophiscated dishes.
We ordered most of the stir-fry noodles/mee-hoon & kway teow dishes and shared.
From top pictures:
Shanghai Style Braised Noodles (more like KL noodles though);
Sze Chuan Style Dong Fen (more like Assam taste);
Singapore Style Fried Mee Hoon (This is really good with wok-hei feel, very fragnant);
Assorted Kway Teow Soup (Nice, not as bland as expected)
Hong Kong Style Fried Mee (Nice too) ;
'Char Siew' Noodles (the barbacue pork was well done with crispy roasted red skin that won compliment from all) and;
Stir Fry Dry Hor Fun (sinfully oily but very nice with wok-hei feel that also won compliment from all :-) )
Although some of the dishes did not come out as per their name on menu, they are flavourful and nice in their own way and we all agreed it is an enjoyable vegetarian meal. (especially when it is praised by the non vegetarian company that I was with, phew :-))

The prices of above ranges from RM9.80 to RM10.80 which even after adding 6% tax is still considered reasonable,(almost same price range as the foodcourt at First World Plaza), considering the good environment we enjoyed the meal in.

After a full meal, one can still take a relaxing stroll around the temple compound before catching the next shuttle bus service back to the hotel.:-)

The free shuttle bus service that departs from the shuttle bus service area near the level 1 of First World Hotel's Starbucks (near the luggage deposit area) from 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9pm.
It just takes 15min to reach and as long as one does not miss the last bus back at 9.15pm from the temple, it is a good alternative consideration for lunch/dinner. :-)
It is located at 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.
