I've blogged about this stall at Suntec Food Court earlier, and this time is the stall located at Marine Parade Food Centre.Since I've relocated to Paya Lebar, it is good to be able to explore the food places nearby.
Mixed Veg Rice $2.50
Definitely much cheaper than suntec, as it costs only $2.50 for 3 dishes. It also serves my favourite brown rice. Anyway, the too have tze char available in the evenings. However, they do not sell the special fish and chips or laksa, as compared to Suntec. Nonetheless, this is a place you can go when you do go shopping at Parkway Parade, as there is no stalls in the mall itself.
Location: Marine Parade Hawker Centre, Blk 84, Marine Parade Road (Opposite Parkway Parade Shopping Centre), Stall# 01-136
Price is comparable to Singapore standard. However, this is one of the better dumplings I've sampled. The dumpling skin is really smooth and chewy which is totally translucent when served. This is comparable to the "har kow" we can find in most dim sum places. I was really happy to try it as the fillings within is really interesting - comprises of mixed veg and mock veg prawns (which is made from soy protein). Tastes like the "real" one esp with the red vinegar.
Cindy was telling me this dish was not bad as the rice is really fragrant. I find it kind of interesting, as the waitress poured a special sauce into the really hot stone pot and started mixing the ingredients into the rice. A pity i didnt get to take the waitress's face as she was camera shy. Anyway, the above pic shows the "end result". Not exactly a korean style bibimbap, but its similar, as everything is mixed together like fried rice. There are many ingredients in this pot which includes mushrooms, veg ham, green chopped veg and some mock meats.
Initially I was skeptical about the soup base as it wasn't easy to do a vegetarian soup base as most people thought that soups must be brewed with bones or animal meat usually. I still remember my harrowing experience in Harbin a couple of years ago when I found Clams in the soup, and the waiter was telling us that clams are not "meat". Luckily, this soup base was made using tomatoes, hence it was mainly sweet. Aint too bad, as tomatoes are good for our health! Do note that the noodles do comprise of eggs, hence may not be suitable for the vegans. Nonetheless, there are other mushroom pots which vegans can take.
