Su Shi Piao Xiang Vegetarian Cafe (素食飘香)

Another trip to fortune centre since it is a heaven for vegetarians. Thanks to fran for always accompanying me around to try new places too. Anyway, the stall owner used to operate in bedok before this shop at Fortune Centre. Food wise, quite normal, but cheap. Me and fran ordered 2 dishes to go with a fried noodle.

Sambal Kang Kong $4

Big portion for the 2 of us. Very fresh, but it was not spicy enough. I like it as it wasnt too oily.

Salad Prawn $7

Fran loves salad prawn whereever its sold.. so normally it is a MUST order dish should we be eating Tze Char. haha. Anyway, the Salad Prawn here is really a BIG portion that we can hardly finish it. Unlike the usual salad prawn, the "prawn" used is not as nice, and you gotta dip into the sauce. Normally the sauce is pan fried onto the entire prawn, where it is more fattening.

Guihua Noodles $4

Tasty and the noodles are chewy. I guess thats the best dish for the night. It is not too dry.

Location: Fortune Centre, Level 2 - 18

Opening Hours: till 8Plus daily

Green+on+Earth Vegetarian Cafe (绿之天地) *CLOSED DOWN*

This cafe has closed down. Please let me know if they have moved.

Green on Earth (GOE) initially started with selling organic food but it has since focused on doing wholesome healthy fusion vegetarian cuisine. I've long heard of this cafe as the web is created by my friend daniel.
Anyway, I finally had the chance to eat and write about the food there. Thanks to Gwennie again, for she has been fetching me around SG just to try at all these new cafes, as some of them (like GOE) is not really accessible via train.

Thai Tofu cakes with Salad & inhouse sauce $4.80

Since the dish name starts with a "thai", I was expecting it to make me reminisce the bangkok days, but i guess only the sour salad did the trick. This is basically an easy side dish made from a tofu mixture wrapped in beancurd skin and panfried (without oil). The tofu mixture is a combination of Tofu and carrots (and maybe other ingredients which I am unable to see) then wrapped into a roll. I was trying to figure out where the inhouse sauce was. There were only 3 dots of chili for 5 mini pieces of tofu, hence I was not able to taste how special it tasted, as it really is just chili sauce. 96 cents for each piece of tofu, and supposed to be a "signature" dish. Seriously, I find it expensive.

Zha Jiang Mian (Price unknown)

Not able to see the noodles as it was totally covered by the special mushroom sauce and lettuce. All you need to do is to mix the whole plate like rojak. This is still a worthy dish to try as there is no MSG added at all. Another place that sells good zha jiang mian is living greens off beach road.

Creamy Mushroom Soup $3.80

Gwennie forbade me to post her picture, but I doubt she checks my blog anyway.. hee, Sometimes with people in the picture, its more promising mah! Anyway, the soup is not very creamy like the one we tried at Roma Deli's, but it does has a similar taste to the one served at the green room cafe in Bishan. However, it is not as thick and tasted rather blend. I reckon that there is no butter/flour used in this concoction, hence if you are looking for a healthier alternative, this is a good option.

Baked Curry Brown Rice $9.80

I was expecting the dish to be served from a baking dish, but was quite surpised to find the cheese spread to be just 5 cm circumference big covering only the top of the rice. Comprises of Potatoes, Pumpkins and brown rice. The curry taste is very authentic and is suitable for those who like indian vegetarian food.

Decor wise, it is generally clean, and modern styled. As it is located on the top floor, there is a stark contrast between the hawker centre located opposite and this cafe, as it really appears more "atas". Prices wise, for noodles/rice, reasonable. For separately cooked dishes, I find it more on the high side, perhaps due to inflation and perhaps the ingredients used are more expensive.

Still, not a bad choice if you are looking for healthy food.

Roma Deli's Vegetarian Cafe

This cafe has been around for ages and has since becomed so popular that it is always fully packed. Anyway, had dinner with gwennie at this cafe the other day. What I think has been successful for this cafe is that it reaches out to the young and trendy with western dishes like pasta/bread/soups. I was quite surprised to see most young people patronising this cafe. I guess this is where we can actually start vegetarianism awareness among the young! Back to the food, set meals are popular where it comprises of a soup, main dish (pasta or pizza) and a soft drink. It costs around $10 per set meal, which is quite reasonable, however, not for your everyday meal.

Set Meal - Mushroom Soup

Soup comes with the baked herbs bread. The soup tastes thick and quite comparable to other places. I personally thought soup spoon is better. Anyway, this is not vegan friendly. Fattening too, as much butter and flour is used for the thick gravy. Opt for just drinks instead, if you are on a diet. Nonetheless, a little pamper once in a while is required.

Main Course - Spicy Cheese Spagetti

Not very spicy and I thought the gravy could have been thicker instead of it being so watery. Ingredients wise is quite reasonable. as there are quite a lot of ham stripes and lettuce included.

Curry Rendang Baked Rice

This is my all time favourite.. I tried the Satay Spagetti before but I thought that was too much like a chinese dish. Anyway, this baked rice never fail to satisfy my hunger pangs. It may not be too cheesy, but the taste is just right. The curry is not too spicy and the chicken chunks are fabulous.

All in all, it is a cafe that has started out unnoticed, but it business has since grown into providing ready microwavable meals today. I guess this is a good model for a business to sustain overtime.

If you are still thinking of indinine, perhaps this is an alternative.

Veggie Stall @ The Arcade

I seldom have a chance to talk about food stalls at the Raffles place area since I do not work there. However, sometimes I would still make a special trip down from suntec for the delicious Veggie sweet potato porridge sold from this stall.

Mix Vegetables with Porridge $3.30 for 3 dishes

Its best to have this meal at lunch, as the porridge is still served hot, and all dishes are freshly cooked. Most of the braised dishes here are fantastic. However, my friends said the MSG used might me a little too much. The porridge is really good with Sweet Potato which helps digesting.

Vegetarian Bee Hoon $3.50

Bee Hoon is another choice if you are not a porridge lover. The Popiah is a MUST try!

Location: Arcade, at the end of first level

Opening Hours: Till 3-4PM daily. Closed on Public Holidays and Sundays

Mongkok Vegetarian (旺角素食) *UNDER RENOVATION*

Don't be mistaken, this food stall is not located in HK, but in Singapore itself. Sometimes as I would be working at the Singpost area, it is not easy to find good food around. However, Wang Jiao seems to have built a good reputation in this area.

This stall is rather special as they do not sell your normal fried bee hoon with the dishes available for you to choose from. This is a Tze Char stall where your food is cooked on the spot. Hence it does take a longer waiting time if the queue is long. One thing I like is, food is served piping hot!

Dumpling Bee Hoon Soup $3

What I like about the soup is it is tasty and not oily, added with the normal ingredients like vegetables, mushrooms and tofu. The dumpings are the frozen kind which can be easily found in the market.

Other than soupy dishes, this stall is well known for their hor fun. I have tried before, the ingredients include mock meats, mushrooms and veg. If you do not want to wait too long, all you need to do is to order the same dish as the person in front. Most prob they will cook together. heehee!

Location: Blk 14 Haig Road Food Centre, Center Column
Geylang Road
Opening Hours: Till 8pm

Cai Gen Xiang Vegetarian Cusine (菜根香素食) - *CLOSED*

Both Outlets are CLOSED. The Yishun one has been replaced by Zi Zai~

Thanks clare sis for the contribution.. guess I will never go there since I don't have a car... Anyway, finally there are some posts for good places in the Northen side of Singapore.
Here's Cai Gen Xiang Vegetarian Cusine. Not sure when it was opened, but the cafe looks clean and trendy.

Hot Plate Sambal Prawn SGD 7

This dish was fried with sambal, prawn and celery. Quite a spicy dish.

Sambal Kang Kong SGD 5

Sort of regretted ordering this as both dishes are hot.. Hence, it didn't bring much taste to our buds after trying the sambal prawns which were spicier. Still not too bad. A little bland and sambal chilli not as fantastic as Victoria Street (Yuan Xiang) Sambal chilli Kang Kong.

Fish Slice Soup SGD 4

Believed they use the same soup for their fish head bee hoon.Soup is mixed with carnation milk, 4 small slices of fish, small cubes of tofu and lots of chye sim. So if you are a vegan, i reckon you may request for non-milk soup. Overall taste still alright.

There are also catering services available from this cafe. I guess I would definitely try it if I do visit Yishun or Changi Airport some day. Thanks for your contribution sis!

Xue Hua Vegetarian (雪花素食摊）

The other day met up with Mr J for lunch at Eunos... As mentioned in my previous post, Eunos is one of the places where there are quite a lot of options available. This stall is the only stall available in the hawker centre next to the MRT station. I had Kuey Chap the other day.

Kuey Chap $2.50

Portion is quite big, but there isnt much ingredients, except for the kuey. The soup is clear and aint too oily. Worth a try if you don't like too oily food.

Location: Eunos Hawker Centre

Opening Hours: 8am - 2pm, 5pm - 8pm
