Sweet and Sticky

Roti prata for breakfast. But, I'm not sure what that glob of yellow thing is. It is sweet and sticky. Not totally smooth texture but gluey. I didn't like it. Felt really squeamish when I tried it. Can anyone tell me what that is?

Blueberry Cheese Bun

yummy! I just love creamy soft buns.

My first vegetarian BBQ

Cooking...

Grilled ginko nuts. Hehe.. the ginko nuts are SY's secret recipe! :P

Coleslaw with Century Egg. Yummy!!~~~

Grilled mushrooms. Hehe.. did you see that the first button mushroom is so shrunken?

Needle mushrooms cooked with garlic and margarine, salt and black pepper. The topped with bacon bits (Not real bacon ;)).


Chocolate mint cake. Kinda taste like cake with toothpaste. Hahaha..

Central

Mushroom noodle. Not bad, but I think it is not as nice as the instant vegetarian noodles.

Dried bamboo shoots

Stir-fry dried bamboo shoots with garlic and mushrooms. This is my favourite dish but my cooking skills are not as good so it is not as tasty as what my mom usually cooked.

Marina Square foodcourt

I love the tofu ball. Soft and looks so much more delicious in a sphere rather than cubes.

SPAGETTI TOO

Yes, that is the stall's name. It is located at Level 1 of IMM beside the stall that sells vegetarian Dim Sum. The spaghetti is really tasty and the price is good too. :)

Ku Low rice

From the Hong Yi stall. Not only is the Ku Low Yuk very delicious, it is also very cheap. Such a big plate for only $3.

Tom Yam rice. Not very nice. Will not be ordering this again.

Mee Rebus

From the Shen Siong foodcourt at Jurong. It's really nice.. As good as the mee rebus near Marsiling MRT

Zhou's Kitchen

Hehe... went to Zhou's Kitchen and ordered all my favourites again!! My current favourite restaurant. :D

Delifrance

Set meal with mushroom cream, garlic bread and tofu bolognaise.

Dessert

Mango dessert from the Traditional HK dessert in Chinatown.

Indo Padang

Drinks

Sayur londeh and sambal eggs.

Fried tempeh with taucho sauce.

Indian Food

I am so addicted to Indian food these days. Have been eating them daily for lunch/breakfast. Yummy....

Yoghurt rice.

Lemon rice.

Bryani rice.

Thosai.

Tomato rice.

Bryani rice.

Lemon rice.

Pepper rice.

Lemon rice.

Vegetarian stall at Bukit Batok

Hehe.. sorry, I can't remember what is the shop's name and neither do my friend who recommended this vegetarian stall to me.

This yam ring is quite nice and would have been better if it is saltier.


Asam fish. Seems like something's missing but I can't tell what. It's sour enough but stilll something is missing..

Frozen food

Indian cheese curry rice. Not too hot, slightly sweet -- that's how I like my curry! ;)


Vegetarian lasagna. Just ok..

Korean food

Vegetarian stone pot rice.


After mixing... It tasted much better than the Korean food I had tried before in Westmall. But still, not something I would want to eat frequently.

Mexican lunch at USC

I think the food is quite nice.. hehe.. can't complain especially when it is free. ;)

Dinner at USC

I didn't really eat the salad. Hehe.. although I love rabbits, I don't eat like one :P But, I finished the whole bread and butter!

Tofu steak (??). Haha.. I don't know what this is but it does looks better than those of my omni-neighbours'. Not sure it really does tastes better though..


Chocolate fudge! My favourite! (Actually one of my favourites, since I love desserts. Haha)

BIG breakfast!

Hehe.. this is the largest croissant I have eaten in my life!




It is egg & cheese croissant. Very soft bread-like croissant instead of those slight crispy and oily croissant we usually have here.

Yummy..

Only USD1 each for a small cup. Really cheap! Luckily I don't live in USA. Or else I would never be able to lose weight anymore..

Burger Joint (SFO Airport)

Veggie burger. It is served like this..


Ta da!! :D

Lunch at Fisherman's Wharf (San Francisco)

Root beer. I like that they actually stir the ice-cream into some root beer before serving to us.

Onion rings. OOOohhhhh... I love onions.


Vegetarian pizza.

Inflight Vegetarian Meals

Economy class food. :P
The SIN to SFO flight has better food compared with the return flight. The meals (except the ice-cream) are vegan.


SIN to SFO: The macaroni and rice meals are very good actually.







SFO to SIN: Tasteles boiled vegetables. Only the bun is edible.

Hong Yi

Here's what usually available during breakfast and lunch hour only.

Laksa.

Fried noodles.

Mock chicken rice.

Mock char siew/siew yuk rice.

Yoghurt rice

From the Indian stall at Engineering Canteen (NUS). It is really delicious!!! And the fried onions are superb too!!! :P~~

Eight Immortals

Black fungus appetizer. Quite nice. :)

Other than the above, I've already posted the pics of the other dishes we ordered before, which are the mock sharks fin soup, honey pork ribs, and fried abalone mushrooms.

Buffet

From Swissotel The Stamford.

Secret Recipe

Raspberry drink and Lime juice.

Vegetarian spaghetti.

Delifrance

Breakfast.

Tomato "Mushrooms"

I was trying to copy my mother's cooking called the Tomato Kai (chicken) by replacing the chicken meat with white button mushrooms. The Tomato Kai is still my favourite dish even though I have been a vegetarian for nearly two years now. Haha... However I found out that white button mushrooms couldn't soak up the flavour from the sauce even after marinating them overnight. They still taste very much like button mushrooms. :(

I think I have to get those monkey head mushrooms instead the next time I try to re-make this dish. Does anyone know where can I buy monkey head mushrooms?

Durian Malt

I noticed this interesting dirnk called Durian Malt on the menu and decided to order it. Unfortunately, the drink failed to live up to its name. The drink is actually a very diluted Horlicks drink with lots of ice and a scoop of durian ice-cream.

Tosai.

Indo Padang (The Cathay)

Potato chips with chili sauce. Nice!! I love spicy food.


Taujoh kangkung. Also very good!


Forgotten what this is called. I think it might be sayur londeh. I find it just ok tastewise. But there are lots of my favourite stinky beans! ;)



Tempeh and tauhu goreng with taujoh sauce. Excellent!!! Must try this if you happen to visit this restaurant.


P/S: You can request that they cook vegetarian food for you even though they may not state it in their menu.

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Mock pork with mui choy. This was ordered by my husband and it arrived first. It was very nice until my asam fish rice arrived!


Asam fish rice. From the slightly raw long beans, cripsy mock fish (really taste like real fried fish) till the asam sauce...everything is perfect!

Eight Immortals

At Marina Square food court. I love the big round tofu ball. :P~~

Pasta De Waraku

Oreo ice-cream. *Two thumbs up*


Macha ice-cream. Not good. Don't like the green tea ice-cream and red bean paste.

Ichiban Sushi (IMM)

Oh, after I tried the hot soba from Sakae, I am convinced that soba is best eaten cold. ;) It is so springy and fragrant when cold. Slurpppp....

Spring Garden (KLCC)

Stir-fry veggies. Those white stuff looks like onions but dun really taste like onions. This is the first time I tried them. Maybe they are mock onions? Haha.. anyway, this dish is very nice. :P~~


Yam ring. This is one of my favourite elaborate vegetarian dishes. YUM!! YUM!!


Cucumber claypot. YEEEEWWWWWW... YUCKS! I disliked cooked cucumbers...


Mock chicken with black pepper. Too salty!! And, the mock chicken does not taste like chicken at all.


Sea coconut with soymilk. Yum yum... :P~~


P/S: This restaurant has a vegetarian section in their menu.

Good Friends (Genting Highlands)

DINNER
Boiled Kailan. Cooked just right. ;)


Fermented beancurd claypot. Quite nice athough I like the version from Zhou's Kitchen better because they put more fermented beancurd.


Beancurd skin and barley. Oh, the beancurd skin is so thin and smooth. Yummmmmyyy...


Honey dew Sago. They actually blended the honey dew into a paste unlike the usual ones which are cut into mini cubes.


BREAKFAST
Chee Cheong Fun. Oh, don't worry, I removed the sambal with dried shrimps before I ate it. I love these type of chee cheong fun more than those with red sweet sauce.


Sesame balls. This is really nice too.. (I usually don't like sesame balls)


Mango pudding. Just OK.



Custard bun. I love custard so of course I love this bun too. :D


Egg tarts.

Kim Gary

Not sure whether it was because we went to the shop almost around their closing time when they are taking their last orders. These two piece of toasted bread are the worse we have ever eaten compared to any HK-syled teahouse.




The bread is toasted so lightly that it is still very chewy and the butter does not even melt on the bread!

Central

Hehe.. this is one of the funniest food I have ever eaten. It's Durian Fried Rice! Hahaa.... (we requested them not to add any meat or prawns). Real durian flesh is added into the rice!! :P Not bad, but I do find it tastes weird because the durian is sweet while the rice is salty.

Vegetable noodles.


Steamed milk.


Fried Chee Cheong Fun with peanut sauce. We always order this everytime we patronize this restaurant.


French Toast. Yummm...

Almond milk with egg. One of my favourite drink.

Zhou's Kitchen

Mock duck (??). Sorry, I can't remember what this is called now although I can remember how great it was! haha.. crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. :P~~~

Century egg appetizer. It has vinegar and garlic sauce. Tasted excellent! Love the garlic bits especially. :P


Ee-fu noodles.


Steamed egg. The steamed egg is so smooth and the mushroom sauce above matches the egg so well.

Fermented tofu claypot. It smells great if you like fermented tofu. ;)

Mickey waffles

This was taken in February when I went to HK Disneyland. Meant to be looked at rather than eaten. (Doesn't taste good. Even the ice-cream has frozen ice in it.)

Sakae Sushi (Lot 1)

Renkon chips. Love the crispiness. Never knew that "lian ou" can be used for chips.

Kakiage. Not so nice because it is not crispy at all.


Steamboat (??). Although this picture was only taken yesterday, I had already forgotten what this is called. Not salty enough. I think they have changed the chef everything we ordered from their vegetarian menu tastes bland.


Soba. Too bland.


Somen. Too bland.

Secret Recipe

Cheesecake.


Caramel cheesecake. I love caramel so obviously I will love this cake. ;)


This is still my favourite cake. :P~~~


Cheesecake. I find it too dry.


Tripple Chocolate (??). I can't remember the exact name now. Not as good as Chocolate Banana.


Cream of broccoli (or spinach??). Haha...

Canteen Food (NUS)

YIH canteen:





Arts Canteen:





Engineering Canteen:

Mai Zhi Su

Another collection of photos taken quite some time ago.

This dish does not have a name yet when we tried it. The chef said we were the first customers to try it. It's quite nice, sort of like friend prawn balls.


Spring rolls. Nice crispy skin.


Seaweed soup.


Brinjal claypot. The sauce is nice but I think the brinjal is too overcooked and mushy.


Indonesian prawns. I haven't tried non-vegetarian Indonesian prawns so I can't compare with it but to me, this curry is very delicious! We have ordered this at least five times. Haha..


Stir fried vegetables.

Subway

Veggie patty sandwich from Subway. GOOD. ;)

Shokudo (Raffles City Shopping Center)

Here's a collection of what we have tried on our numerous visits to this restaurant during the past few months.

Kakiage. Hehe.. I love fried crispy stuff. :P


Mixed vegetables teppanyaki. Nice because they put garlic in it. Hehe..


Japanese rosti. Rosti has always been my favourite in Marche since my non-veg days and this Japanese version is even tastier! Eat with lots of cream and onions!!

Mushroom omelette. The egg is slightly sweet. Nice savoury dish. :)


Crepes. Hmmmm.. don't really like the sweet red bean paste. Anyway, I am not a fan of red bean.


Mixed mushrooms tempura. This is excellent! I like the golden needle mushrooms especially.


Haha, I've forgotten what the other drink next to the green tea is already. :P (Btw, I have also tried the macha drink too and it was disgusting!! It has thick green tea powder that floats into the throat as you try to swallow it. Yucks!!)


Red bean with glutinous rice balls. And as I mentioned above, I am not a fan of red bean. So.. I only like the rice balls.

Deli Vege

This restaurant is at Chinatown. I have just collected my Guitar Hero DS game from the seller in Tanjong Pagar when we were looking around for a place for lunch. And, we spotted this shop.


Carrot juice and lime juice.


Soup. This soup tastes "refreshing"! :P It's kind of like a crazy sweet & salty soup cooked with vegetables and cubes of pears! You can give it a try but I definitely won't order this again. Hahaa...


Belacan kangkung. Nice but nothing special since many vegetarian restaurants offer this dish too.


This is one of those starter dishes. There are some mock abalone slices and mock chicken meat. The mock chicken meat is very tasty. :D

Spice Garden (Genting, MY)

Orange juice.


Mushroom bryani. This is nice and taste like normal bryani rice except for having mushrooms instead of the usual cauliflower.


Sweet curry with Indian cheese balls. I can't remember the name but it has some paneer word there. Hehe.. I love sweet curry!!

Everything is very nice except for the price which is RM85++ including two fresh orange juices.

Secret Recipe (IMM)

Banana chocolate and White chocolate macadamia. The WCM is now my favorite cake, surpassing the banana chocolate. :P~~~

Guess where these are from?

After constant accusation from Dreamy that I have abandoned my beloved Vegetarian Health Food restaurant, I decided to go there again. (Haha.. just joking. It was because I miss the asam fish)

Vegetarian "mutton" bryani. This is very good too. Do give it a try. I think they always maintained their high standards. ;)


My favourite asam fish (comes with white rice and popadam).


Hehe.. How can I possibly not order the world's best vegetarian char siew, rite? :P ($3 for two piece of char siew)

n.y.d.c. (Suntec City)

Gold Rush. Not sure whether I had remembered its name correctly though. The cheesecake is very creamy but not too sweet. I love the chunky bits of chocholate mixed into the base of the cheesecake. It's so good that after we ordered a second one. :D


Iced Mocha.

P/S: This cafe also serves vegetarian pizza and pasta. :)

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Sharks' fin soup. I'm glad that I am eating fake ones. Just saw the documentary on Discovery channel last night of how they removed the fins and threw the shark back into the sea to die.

Pomfret with sweet and sour sauce. Looking at this picture is already enough to make me salivate! :P~~ I think I'll order this dish again this weekend.

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Seaweed soup.


Petai fish. Stink bean is my new favourite vegetable. Sauce is sour and spicy. Delicious! Hehe..

Dim Sum (IMM food stall)

Hello everybody!!! Sorry for not updating for such a long time. Hehe.. I was concentrating on "work". :P

Vegetarian Siu Mai, Har Kow. I don't like the texture of the Siu Mai mock meat. Too soft and squishy. The ones with vegetables (I think they are called chives(???) are delicious.) By the way, I recently fell in love with those frozen vegetarian dumplings sold in NTUC/Giant. They are made from Korea and the taste is so good that you might think you are actually eating non-vegetarian dumplings.


Vegetarian Luo Mai Kai. This one is really nice as I haven't eaten Luo Mai Kai for quite a while.

Indinine

Carrot and calamansi juice.


Pho laksa. Good as usual.


Can't remember the exact name now. I think it is a mushroom burger. Very dry. :(


Tomato bruschetta. Love it! :)

Pastamania

Veggie Supremo. Quite OK but nothing spectacular.


Margheritta. Pizza covered with only cheese and tomato sauce... YUMMM....


Soup of the day and garlic bread.

Funny drink

I went to this HK-styled restaurant and saw "Lemon Ribena" on the menu. Since the HK-styled drink Lemon Coke is the coke drink brewed with lemon and ginger, I thought they are brewing the Ribena drink with lemon too. But when my husband came back with the orders, we were laughing madly because this is actually lemon slices and a pack of Ribena drink. :D

Mr. Bean

Soya Ice-cream. I love this ice-cream very very much! The taste is so special. :P~~~


Pineapple tart with soya milk. They have several fillings for their tarts but till now I still bought the same pineapple ones because I'm afraid the others might not be as good.


Chocolate and blueberry pancake with soya milk.

Secret Recipe

Cream of mushroom. Nice.. :)


Spicy soup. There's a hint of curry taste in this soup.


Fries. Hehe.. I usually don't like fries but this is different as it is quite soft.


Vegetarian fried soba. This may look small but the bowl is actually humongous! But don't be afraid yet. Haha.. because the fried soba noodles were perched up with lots of fresh vegetable strips below (which it not seen in this picture). Turns out more like a salad bowl instead of the usual fried noodles. :P

Banana Chocolate. This slice of cake is really big too! Looks good and tastes great! I wish my husband will buy me this cake for my birthday... I want to finish this cake on my own!!! :P But then again, I think I will get this for his birthday instead since his birthday comes first which means I get to eat it earlier. Hahaha...

Soup from Ikea

I have already forgotten what this soup is actually. But I am guessing it is cream of spinach. Haha.. But it's nice and creamy!

More food from MZS (BB)

Vinegar "pig" trotters. This is one of our favourite dishes although its quite unhealthy due to the amount of oil used. :)


Sate. The mock meat is quite dry but luckily the sate sauce saved the day!

Sushi!

Vegetable tempura with rice. Just ok. I think the rice is too dry.


Potato croquette. I like the crispy outer layer covering soft mashed potato. But don't dip into the sauce because I tried it and it isn't vegetarian based on the fishy taste! Yikes!

Vegetable sushi. Quite nice..


Another type of vegetable sushi. :)


Corn sushi. Also nice...


Strawberry ice-cream (forgotten what the real name is though). The mixed canned fruit is too sweet because they did not drain away the sugar syrup.

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Four Heavenly Kings with long beans instead of winged beans. Nevertheless, it's still as good because of the petai beans! hahaa...

Vegetarian dumpling. Very nice! But I think they bought the dumplings from a vendor instead of making it on their own.

Tea time at Delifrance

Cream of Mushroom. I love garlic bread with creamy soup. :P~~~


Vegetable baked rice. Very nice!


Vegetarian lasagne. Very nice too. Actually the sauce and vegetables are exactly the same as the one for baked rice.


Croissant with ice-cream. Hmmm.. I think both does not match very well. A warm croissant with melted butter would be much better. :)

Kway Chap

Ate this for brunch last month at the hawker stall near Chinese garden. The taste is quite good. :)

Dinner

Fried Hokkien noodles. The taste is really very bland. We had to eat this with lots of chili.


Preserved vegetables and tofu soup. Their soup is very good as it is not too salty or too bland. Just right!


BBQ sauce "pork". I love the sauce but the mock meat is slightly hard and chewy. Love the slightly burnt smell though. Not sure they did it on purpose or accidentally. Haha...


Sambal kangkung.

Soup Set

Mai Zhi Su at Bukit Batok recently (actually not so recent since this photo was taken on Dec 14, 2007) offerec soup set meal. The whole set is only $4.50. It comes with a plate of vegetables, steamed mock meat cake (yummy, taste the same like real ones including the mock preserved fish slice!), soup (they have different types of soup daily). The soup in this photo is salted vegetable soup.

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Four Heavenly Kings (Stir-fry of ladies fingers, brinjal, petai, winged/four-angled beans). Before this, I was really afraid to try petai. But after trying out this dish at MZS, I would rate this as one of my favourite dishes. :P~~

Sesame "pork". The sauce is slightly sweet and sour (sort of like plum sauce). I love this dish too! But then again, there's way too much mock meat so it isn't healthy to eat this too often. ;)

Ichiban Sushi

Photos were taken more than two weeks ago at Ichiban Sushi (Parkway Parade).

Vegetable tempura. I really love this but Crystal told me that the tempura sauce may not be vegetarian! Next time need to check with the restaurant.


Vegetable tempura with curry rice. (We requested not to have the ebi tempura in this rice set). Very nice!


Ice cream. Forgotten what this is called exactly. That is banana tempura, in case you can't figure it out from the blur picture. I love this so much more than the tempura ice-cream I tried previously.

Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room

Hot lemon honey drink and Iced yun-yong. The lemon honey drink tasted exactly like the Panadol Cold & Flu Hot Remedy. Hahahahaha...



Toasts. Very nice! I love butter!!!

Porridge

Porridge from Mai Zhi Su (BB) for breakfast. Not bad, but just want to say, it's not something I expected as porridge. I thought porridge would be "white" instead of this purplish porridge. I prefer porridge like the one I had in KL Traders Hotel.

Ikea

Have been to Ikea quite a number of times recently so these are what I've eaten during my visits there.

I've forgotten what that luminous green thing is called but just want to comment that it's really too sweet.

As always, the vegetarian spaghetti and Daim cake again. Hahaha... I also tried the lemon jelly which my colleague recommended and was quite disappointed with it because I don't really like soft jellies. I prefer konnyaku type of jellies. :P

By the way, I just found out from Ikea's website that there's quite a few items that we can order when I was trying to find out the name of the green colored roll on the first picture. Click here for the vegetarian menu.

Ice-cream Mochi

Cute-looking ice-cream mochi from the Japanese-styled fast food restaurant (Not sure what's the name) in Far East Plaza. The mochi is very cold and hard initially but when it has slightly defrosted, it's chewy like chewing gum. :P

Eight Immortals (Upper Jurong Road)

Kung Po mock chicken. Overall, it's quite nice but I felt that the best Kung Po sauce is from Mai Zhi Su (BB)'s Kung Po mock prawns.


Fried abalone mushrooms. This remain one of my favourite dish and I still love it best from this restaurant although other restaurants serve this dish too.

Pasta Fiesta (NUS)

From top left: Egg, cucumber, corn, seaweed, egg, pickle.

Nice and cheap. Only $2.70 in total. :)

Noodles

Noodles from Mai Zhi Su (Bukit Batok branch).

Wantan noodles. I don't like both the noodle's sauce and wantan. If you want dry noodles, try the Bak Chor Mee instead. ;)


Black-black face. Hehe.. I know I had posted this before but since it is so nice, I think it deserves another recommendation! Hahaha... :P~~

Indian food

These photos were taken about two weeks ago so I can't remember the restaurant's name. It is an Indian restaurant situated outside the Singapore Expo Hall 5.

Papadam with mint sauce. I usually don't like papadam but with mint sauce, it's so much better! :)


Vegetable bryani and curry (I had forgotten the name of this curry). Both are very tasty! The curry is especially good because it is slightly sweet. I love sweet curry. The sweet vegetarian Indian curry I ate in Queenstown is still the best! :P~~~

Pastamania

Pine nut and mushroom rice. Quite nice. Taste very similar to vegetarian fried rice but with pine nuts instead of those vegetarian ham bits.


Aglio Olio. Quite nice. More garlic so smells and tastes better than the one we had at Swensens (IMM).


Desserts! My favourite chocolate mousse and strawberry bavarese. Yum yumm...

Bryani rice

I have stopped going to the Arts canteen for lunch these days. Have gotten bored with the Indian foodstall although the food there is very nice.

Eight Treasures Vegetarian

Asparagus with monkey head mushrooms. Very nice! I just love everything cooked with monkey head mushrooms. Hahaha...


Fried rice noodles. Very nice! Still the same as the last time I ate this.


Roasted 'duck'. This is quite good but not as good as the Pipa 'duck'.

Roasted suckling 'pig'. I remember how much I love this dish when I first tried it. However, I am sad to report that their standard has deteriorated. There is no more juicy layer inside. I think this isn't freshly made and has been fried again.


Vegetarin sharks fin soup. Not up to expectation. Not salty enough. The Eight Immortals at Arena Country Club serves better version. ;)

Ichiban Sushi

Saw Dreamy's review of Ichiban Sushi and decided to give it a try when I was at Plaza Singapura two weeks ago.

Yasai tempura. Very good! It's still crispy even after being dipped in sauce. :)


Agedashi tofu. Actually this isn't vegetarian. Notice the fish flakes on top? Sigh... I didn't know until it was served so I just scooped out the flakes and ate the tofu.


Kakiage don. Too dry.


Tempura ice-cream. It is actually an ice-cream filled cream puff dipped into tempura batter and fried. I don't really like it because the cream puff is quite thick.


Mousy brownie. The cake is quite bitter. Would have been better if the cake is slightly sweeter.

Oreo Cheese cake

Yummy cheese cake from Munchie Monkey at NUS. Hehe... must indulge once in a while...

Heavy dinner...

While we were waiting for our orders to be served last night at the Mai Zhi Su (BB), we couldn't resist the temptation to try out packed Nasi Lemak at the counter.

Nice, but the sambal can be spicier. I guess the best vegetarian sambal is still from the Vegetarian Health Food.


Mushroom pot. Its like cooking fresh button mushrooms with Japanese-styled curry. Quite nice..


Sesame mock chicken. It tasted great! It's mock meat with sweet and sour sauce, but the sauce is different from the "Ku Lou Yuk" type. More like mock pork ribs sauce. :)

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Vegetables with golden mushrooms. Just so-so.

Chai po "fish". This dish was a special request since we had already tried most of the dishes there, the shop owner's son recommended this to us. It's really nice. I would definitely order this again.

P/S: Before I forget, actually MZS (Ang Mo Kio) is closed on Monday and MZS (Bukit Batok) is closed on alternate Wednesday.

Fried rice

Fried rice from Takashimaya foodcourt. The fried rice and tofu with minced mock meat are nice. The plate of fried rice with two dishes cost me $5.50. I think it's quite expensive compared to the last time I ate there.

"Fish" n Chip

From Mai Zhi Su (BB). The fish is quite OK, but the french fries are quite hard and dry.

Pasta de Waraku

Potato cheese mochi with sweet chili sauce. Excellent! Hehe.. because I love the melted cheese in the potato ball.

Fried tofu cubes. This is very good too. Fragrant and slightly chewy.

Cold tofu. Errmm... I find this not nice and weird.

Orange juice and lemon squash.

Again.. at my favorite restaurant...

the Mai Zhi Su of course. ;)

These are from MZS (Bukit Batok). The photos are taken on three occassions but since I have already posted photos of some of the dishes, I'm only posting new dishes here.

Kung Po "prawn". Looks great and taste excellent! It's so fragrant and there's really a big difference when the dried chili is used. (I once tried cooking Kung Po veggies with the Lee Kum Kee sauce and it tasted flat.) I love this dish so much that I have already eaten this twice in less than a week. Hehehee....


Teochew steamed "fish". Lovely... very similar to the steamed fish from the Grand Court Vegetarian restaurant. I love the soup..slurrrp...


"Pork knuckles" with vinegar. Sorry for the blurry photo. I hope you can still see the fat layer on the mock meat. Really similar. I think the soup is too sour and would prefer that some brown sugar is added in. But then again, I am someone who love sweet Indian curry. Hahaha...


Haha.. I know I have already posted this Claypot Tofu dish before but since Crystal mentioned that she ordered the wrong dish, I decided to post about it again. And, I can tempt JL to come visit me in SG... haha...

P/S: Actually we also ordered the Curry "fish head" but I couldn't photograph it since my phone's battery was flat.

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

San Bei Ji. I find the mock chiken meat used it not so nice. So, I don't really like this dish.

Luo Han Zhai. Very nice because the vegetables are stir-fried lightly. (*note to myself, I must cook this way too*)

Bali Thai

Vegetarian tom yam. Really sourrrrr.......


Vegetarian Thai green curry. This is my favourite, I have to order this dish every time I go to a Thai restaurant. Yummmmmm...

Vegetarian Health Food

Hehe.. I have gone back to VHF last weekend as I missed the Asam Fish. But, coincidentally, it is the first day of the 10th lunar month so they only sell mixed rice.

The "bak kien" is very nice because the texture is so much nicer than those made from yam.


Hehe.. My favourite "char siew" and black soya sauce fried mock meat. YUMMY!~~

Yuan Yang rice

I ordered Yuan Yang rice from the Mai Zhi Su (Bukit Batok) last week and was quite surprised that it really has two type of rice (normal white rice and brown rice) in a plate. The gravy for the brown rice is saltish while the red colored sauce is sourish. Although the white stuff in the brown rice gravy looks like vomit, it tasted really good and the texture is similar to crab meat. Hahaha... And the red sauce is actually the sweet and sour type, with mock meat. I like both sides but couldn't finish the whole plate as there are two much rice.

Mega Bites Cafe

Vegetarian pesto and soup.

This is the first time I ate at this cafe which is located at the Science Faculty of NUS. The set only cost $4.90 and the portion is quite big, with lots of vegetables. The taste is great too, like the (special order) vegetarian spaghetti from Jack's Place. :)

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Black pepper "deer" meat. Since I've not eaten real deer meat, I don't know whether the texture are the same. :P All I can say is that it's similar to the "pork" that The Whole Earth vegetarian uses. The black pepper sauce suits the mock deer meat well.

Sambal potato leaves. I find this not so nice because the sambal is too hot, even for someone who love spicy food like me.

Mai Zhi Su (AMK)

Four beauties (四大美人). Hehe.. I literally translated the name of the dish from its Chinese name. This dish is excellent!!! The veggies are stir-fried lightly with great tasting sauce. Yummy!!


Spicy "frog leg". Quite similar to the Cereal prawns from MZS(BB), but a lot spicier.

Seaweed soup. Just a light seaweed and mixed vegetable soup. Very nice too. :)

Cakes from Ikea

Princess cake. The greenish outer layer of jam is probably pandan kaya (??). The inside is sort of like ice-cream. Can't figure out what that actually is.

Daim cake. This is very, very delicious!! Thin slice of cake with some crunchy bits on top. Not sure what they are but I'll definitely get this again if we ever go there again. ;)

Munchie Monkey (NUS)

Spaghetti. Because I want to lose weight, I had better avoid cream based pasta. So, this is my current favourite. :P

Mai Zhi Su (BB)

Spare rib rice. The sweet & salty sauce on the mock meat is tasty. I love strong tasty food, as usual. ;)

Cuttlefish kangkung. Althought the sauce is slightly watery compared to the version served in MZS(AMK), it is still delightful because it has a hint of lemon/lime. So, I would say both are equally good in their own way.

Lunch @ Ikea

Mushroom cream.


Tomato spaghetti. Quite nice.

Chocolate mousse. Yummy.. hehe.. I love desserts

Breakfast @ Delifrance

Waffle and egg. Good :)


Croissant with eggs. Very good! :)


Coffee.

Mai Zhi Su (AMK)

Water cress soup. The water cress is not overcooked till yellowish. Nice and light.


Special sauce "pork rib". The sauce is nice. However, they probably did not marinate the "pork rib" pieces long enough as the flavour from the sauce has not been absorbed into the "meat".

Bryani rice and curry

We ordered the vegetarian bryani and kadai panner at the Al-Ameen shop. Very delicious!!!

Mai Zhi Su (AMK)

We went to the original Mai Zhi Su shop at Ang Mo Kio last weekend. There are more variety in the menu although not all dishes are available daily.

Nyonya fish. The gravy is quite sour and appetizing.


"Cuttlefish" kangkung. Very delicious! The mock cuttlefish tastes so good with the sweet and slightly salty sauce. They are just like real ones, springy and slightly chewy, sans cholesterol.


Char siew rice. Good, but I guess it still can't beat Vegetarian Health Food's char siew (from my first blog post).


"Duck" rice. The mock duck meat is made from mushroom stems. It's quite OK, but still prefer the mock duck rice from Lotus Vegetarian's buffet.

P/S: Overall, the food in Mai Zhi Su (AMK) is nice, but slightly bland compared to the Mai Zhi Su at Bukit Batok.

Desserts

Ate both recently at Munchie Monkey, NUS.

Banana split.

Apple cobbler.

Lemon chicken rice

Lemon chicken rice from Mai Zhi Su. It surely does look good, but too bad, it does not taste as good as it looks. The taste is just so-so and I will not order this again next time.

Spring Garden (Suria KLCC)

This restaurant has a small section in their menu for vegetarian food.

Peanuts.

Mango juice & orange juice.


Vegetables in crispy yam ring. I remember fondly that we used to have this in (non-veg)wedding banquets and I am quite delighted that they serve vegetarian version here. It's really nice, even without any mock meat. Hehehe...


Abalone mushroom with sweet and sour sauce. I've also tried this dish (世界名片) in Eight Immortals and Mai Zhi Su recently. My favorite is from Eight Immortals as it is slightly crispy while maintaining the texture of the mushrooms. The ones from Mai Zhi Su are too crispy till you would have thought you are eating crackers and the ones shown here are too soft and soggy.


Crispy almond "duck". This is very nice too!!


The cost of this meal is RM97. It's slightly expensive but the portion is quite big even though we ordered small portions. So, it's quite worth it as we both ate until we almost couldn't breath. Hahaha.. I know it sounds exaggerating, but it's true. :P

Giant Bowl (PJ SS2)

I missed the food in this restaurant, located in Petaling Jaya area, so much since my last visit in February. I'm happy to report that my favourite dishes are still as excellent as it was when I first ate at this restaurant. ;)

Mui Choy Kao Yuk (Preserved veg with fatty "pork"). This is my favourite!!! I can still recall that we were so surprised to see the mock fatty pork looking so much alike the real ones. The preserved vegetable tastes excellent. Not too salty.


Lemon "chicken". We didn't order it during the previous time but decided to try it. Too bad, the mock chicken is not so nice and there's way too much sauce.


Sambal kangkung. This is nice too.. Another of our favourites.


Bak kut teh. Slurrrpp... :P~~~ The soup is very delicious.

Buffet breakfast

Here's what I ate during my one night stay in Kuala Lumpur Traders Hotel.

Plain porridge with yew char kway, preserved veg and spring onions. Tasty!!! I love spring onions and yew char kway.


Cereal and croissant. Nice too.. love the crunhcy almonds and chocolate cereal.


Baked tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, scrambled eggs, hash brown, and vanilla twist pastry. All are very nice!!!

Domino's Pizza (KL)

Mushroom soup. Very good!


Coleslaw. Very nice too as I haven't eaten coleslaw for quite some time already.


Twisty garlic bread. Just ok, I prefer the usual bread more, with crispy sides and soft centre. The twisty version is quite chewy.


Veggie Galore pizza. It's nice too. :)

Caramel delite. Chocolate cake with lots of caramel sauce. Yummy!!!

The price is very cheap compared to Pizza Hut in KL. It's only about RM35 for everything, including two vanilla coke.

Mai Zhi Su

Claypot tofu. Love this totally! The tofu is soft and the gravy is so delicious when eaten with rice. :P~~

Sambal kangkung. This is also nice. Hehe...


Sweet sour abalone mushroom. Very crispy, in fact too crispy until I can hardly taste the mushrooms. Still prefer the slightly chewy ones from Eight Immortals.

Breakfast at canteen

Chee cheong fun from the Engineering canteen in NUS. Sweet soy sauce with sesame oil. Quite nice. But the cheong fun texture is quite hard, not as smooth as the cheong fun from Central (Ngee Ann City).

Eight Immortals (Upper Jurong Rd)

Hehe.. went to one of my current favourite restaurants again and also ordered the abalone mushroom in sweet and sour sauce again. It is the best (the way I like it) compared to several places I had tried recently. ;)

Here are the other dishes we ordered that night.


Salted veg tofu soup. Very nice because it is not too salty.


Codfish with ginger. Also very delicious! Do try it if you like vegetarian fish.

Mai Zhi Su

Cereal prawn. Yummy!!! Very delicious.. Best thing is, it's mock prawns, so I don't have to peel the prawn shells. Hahaha...


Mongolian grilled fish. (In my previous post about this dish, I thought it is called sambal fish.) This is my favourite. I've eaten this thrice in a week. :P~~


Bitter gourd soup. This is the first time I tried bitter gourd soup. Turns out that it is not bitter at all. Thumbs up!

Wong Kok Teahouse (Bugis Junction)

After listening to Roger Kwoks's radio advertisements for 旺角茶餐厅 (from Malaysian radio channel) several times daily, I couldn't help getting excited to try it in KL. When I saw a newspaper article reporting the opening of the first outlet in SG, I went to try on the very next day.

Cold yun-yong, strawberry yoghurt and mango lime. The mango lime drink is so large, almost like a jug of beer! hahaha.. My strawberry yoghurt drink is quite nice.. :)


Chocolate fondue. Not nice at all, the chocolate syrup is so watery and has a burnt taste.


Peach pudding. Just OK.


Condensed millk and peanut butter on thick toast. This piece of bread is about 4-inches thick! Scary!


Ice-cream and peanut butter toast. Again, too much bread! (Worse of all, we ordered two of this as it looks pretty good on the menu)


French toast. Among all, this is the most edible..

Needless to say, after the initial excitement, I won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon. The total bill is $49++. Hahaha.. This is the most expensive bread meal I had eaten in my life. :D

P/S: I couldn't order other food because they are non-veg. The Central teahouse at Ngee Ann City has much nicer food. At least they have the Po Lo bun (a-must-have) at HK-styled teahouse.

Mai Zhi Su

Black-black face. That's written on the menu. I am not sure whether they did it intentionally or they literally translated the Chinese word "mian" as face. Haha.. Anyway, it's very delicous! Hehe.. Mai Zhi Su has become one of my favourite restaurants now.

NUS Arts Canteen

The two pieces of tofu are quite nice. But, like all canteen vegetarian stalls, they sell similar selections daily.. Sigh...

Eight Immortals (Upper Jurong)

Ku Lo Yuk. Quite nice.. :)


Mock chicken (I've forgotten the exact name). This is very nice too! Yum...yum...yum...

Breakfast (fan choy)

Tastes good.. but I am not sure how it scores compared to non-veg versions since I haven't tried one before.

Indian food

This is from the 24-hour Indian Muslim restaurant at The Woodgrove.

Kadai panner (Indian cheese curry) and garlic naan. Hehe.. I just love thick Indian curry eaten with garlic naan. Yummy!!!

Eight Immortals (AMK Hub)

Sate. This is the only thing that taste good when we ate at this stall last Sunday. The rest of those mixed rice is really bad. Wonder why there's such a big difference between the restaurant at Upper Jurong and this.

Eight Immortals

Pandan leaf "chicken". Looks great and taste great too. However, it is too dry to eat it on its own.


Abalone mushroom (in sweet and sour sauce). I love this very much! The fried mushroom tastes like fried squid. :P~~


Seaweed soup. Very nice too. :)

Swensen's again

Veggie pizza. This is very nice!


Mac n Cheese (Baked macaroni). I will definitely order this again! It's so much nicer than expected since I usually don't like macaroni.


Apple Crumble. Not so nice when compared to the banana crumble.

Kon lo noodles

From the hawker stall located behind the Fuchun Community Centre. It's quite acceptable for me but is not my favorite.

八年不变

The choices of food sold by Canteen B in NTU never changes for eight years. Really, I witness this with my own eyes... I'm sure dreamy could recognize this easily. :P

Nice canteen food

Beryani rice with my favorite sambal veggies from The Deck (Arts canteen in NUS)

Lotus Vegetarian buffet

Actually these photos were taken quite a while ago so I couldn't recall how most of the food tasted like because they didn't leave a deep impression on me. Except... the mock duck rice. Hehehe.. It is so delicious that I could still remember how it tasted like.

"Duck" rice. This is one of the special dish that they have at the side counter (not included in buffet daily). You have to order this from the waitress and each time she will only serve you a small plate. Yes, the plate is small, just like a teacup's saucer. So, I had to order this four times! Hahaha...


Sour & spicy noodle.


Assorted mock meat dishes.


Lok-lok and siu mai.


Fried rice and assorted dishes.


Chueh kueh.


Dessert.

8 Immortals (Upper Jurong Rd)

Yangzhou fried rice (medium). Nice, but you can get a similar one in almost any vegetarian restaurant or stall.


Pandan "pork". Tasted like Malay rendang chicken, which I missed terribly. (Oops...) Must try this!!!

The prices here are very affordable. The total bill cost $18 only.

Mai Zhi Su

Mai Zhi Su is a newly opened restaurant at the Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 (Blk 376), near the Bukit Gombak MRT. These are what I have tried during the two times we visited this restaurant.

Sambal "fish". I love this so much! Will definitely order this again this weekend. The "fish" taste so good even without dipping the chili sauce. With the chili sauce, it is heavenly! :P~~~ (Trust me, it is much nicer than it looks. I'll take another photo because this photo looks blueish due to wrong camera settings)


Tofu with minced meat. This is not bad. If only it was served in claypot to preserve heat.. it would have been much nicer.


Curry rice. I would not recommend this. Curry is too diluted.


Bak kut teh. Very tasty!! Hehe... I have always preferred "dark" bak kut teh. The types of mock meat used in this reminded me of the bak kut teh that I had tried in the Giant Bowl restaurant in KL. Pieces of "bak kut" really comes with "mock bones". Also, there's mock "fatty meat". :D


Bak chor mee. Hehe.. really nice too, like real non-veg versions.

Swensen's

Aglio olio. Not so nice due to insufficient garlic taste.


Vegetable baked rice. Nicely done. Vegetables are not overcooked. :)


Banana crumble. I like this very much.. I find this special as it is served in a sizzling pan.

Eight Immortals (Upper Jurong Rd)

This new restaurant is located at the lobby of the Arena Country Club. The food are cheap and delicious and the ambience is great. There's also no service charge. ;)

Stir-fry asparagus. We don't like it because it is really tasteless. But, I think this is the most healthy dish we ordered that night. Haha...


Thai "chicken". At first, we felt that it looked normal like those chili sauce on mock meat that we could get from hawker stalls. But, after one bite, we realised that the texture of the mock meat is different, and the batter is crispy and fragrant. The sauce is also different from chili sauce, kind of citrusy.


Curry leaf monkey head mushroom. Hehe.. my favourite mushroom again. I love this very much, although I still prefer the Sichuan kung po style from The Whole Earth. :P


"Sharks" fin soup. Yummy!!!

Total: $43 only. (Their portion is quite big actually.)

The Whole Earth again!

Sichuan Gung Pou Monkey Head Mushroom. This is very, very nice! The gravy is spicy and fragrant and the mushrooms are the best natural vegetarian meat.


Black pepper BBQ "pork". This is also very delicious!!!

Other than these two dishes, we also ordered the Sambal Kangkung (our favorite!). think I'll have a hard time deciding what to order the next time I visit this restaurant, wondering whether I should order these dishes again or try other dishes. And, we decided that we should order only two dishes instead because the portion of the dishes are quite large.

Total bill: $49 (includes all the above, 3 bowls of rice, and two drinks)

Delifrance

I'm quite surprised that even Delifrance serves vegetarian food. Here's what we ordered.

Tofu bolognaise. Edible, but sauce is too diluted.

Baked rice. Very tasty. :)

The Whole Earth

Hehe.. this is one my favorite restaurants at the moment. We are quite surprised to find this restaurant in Geylang (somewhere near the Southern Vegetarian restaurant)

Fried seaweed, Sambal, Pickles. I love the sambal so much!!! Just like real sambal with belacan. Yummy!!!

Asam pedas (comes with deep fried mock fish slices, see picture below). Believe me, this is REALLY SOUR!!! Haha... but once you swallowed the first spoonful, you'll want more. We ordered another bowl of rice because of this dish.


Fried mock fish.

Bibik's Buah Keluak. I heard about this popular dish in many travel shows but never had a chance to try it until now. We immediately ordered this when we saw it on the menu. We love the fried mock meat in this "curry".

Buah Keluak (close up view) from Bibik's Buah Keluak. A teaspoon is used to dig out the flesh of this fruit, which looks gross. Haha... and the taste is quite gross too. Sort of like something fermented. There are three in the bowl but we can't even finish one. Haha.... (The menu stated that if you require extra fruits, you'll be charge $3 for each.) So, we actually wasted $6. :P

Sambal kangkung. Love this too! We'll definitely order this again.

Total bill: $48 (Includes all the food shown above, one fresh coconut drink, mango nectar drink, three bowls of white rice, GST and service charge).

Roti prata

Onion prata and/or Cheese prata. That's what I have been having for breakfast for the past two weeks. Hehe.. I just can't live without onions and garlics...

Pho laksa & Lasagne

Pho Laksa. This is the first time I tried laksa served with fried fritters. Hehe... A little weird. I thought fried fritters are only for soya milk and bak kut teh. I like the pho noodles better than the usual bouncy laksa noodles. ;)


Vegetarian Lasagne. Two thumbs up!


Pumpkin soup. Still as good as it was the last time I tried. :P~~

P/S: Food are from Indinine restaurant at Suntec City.

Lunch at Munchie Monkey

Al Funghi pasta without garlic. My friend ordered this. I think it should be good but probably not as good as the one I usually ordered with garlic because it would smell less fragrant. :P


Vegetarian Pizza. It's quite nice.


Coffee (I had forgotten the exact name since this was taken back in August. Haha...)


Hot Chocolate.


Chocolate cake

Breaded 'Prawns'

Recently, I got really bored eating mixed rice daily for dinner at Woodlands Circle's Koufu foodcourt. So instead of rice, I tried the "Fried Breaded Prawns". It's so good that I ate this as my dinner for two days in a row. Haha.. and then I had sorethroat due to heatiness. The deep fried breaded prawns are so crispy and I love the generous amount of mayonaisse!

8 Treasures Vegetarian

Menu


Fried Noodles. Nice, but not really special.

Mock Pork Ribs. This dish is heavenly!! Yummy... would definitely order this again and again. A must-try if you visit this restaurant.


Roasted Suckling 'Pig'. We liked this very much during our first visit to this restaurant so we ordered again. Although the quality is still as good as the previous time, I prefer the mock pipa duck more.


Pipa 'Duck'. This is very delicious! The sweet and sour sauce is very different and has a refreshing taste. :P~~

Vegetarian Health Food

Mixed rice. Hehe... my favourite 'mui choy' and 'char siew'.

Mee rebus. Not really nice although it looks really appetizing. No fight with my favourite mee rebus from the Marsiling hawker centre (near Marsiling MRT).

P/S: Crystal, if you are reading this, can you give the directions to the chee cheung fun stall at Marsiling again? I can't find your directions and I lost my way there. So in the end we ate at Causeway Point.

Nasi Lemak

This is from the Causeway Point foodcourt. The sambal is really hot! But I like it. Haha... The nasi lemak tasted really good but I think the VHF's nasi lemak is better because the fried slices of "fish" is already cold and chewy (instead of crunchy).

Munchie Munkey

Hehe.. I'm so happy to have found that MM serves vegetarian pasta too! I have more choices now... :) Both are $5.50 each.

Fried Hor Fun

Fried hor fun from canteen. Only $1.80. But... actually I don't really like it so I didn't finish it although I normally don't like to waste food.

More food..

I prefer kway teow, so this is Lor Kway Teow. :P This is from the Marsiling hawker center. It's nice :)

Subway Veggie Delite salad

Quite OK... to be fair, I was never a fan of salad. :P

Sweet sour "pork"

Tried another set meal at Vegetarian Health Food recently. It's good but I think there's similarly good Ku Lou Yuk at other restaurants too. So, I don't think I will purposely go to VHF to order this again.

P/S: Actually, I've gotten slightly bored with VHF's claypot rice, nasi lemak, asam fish, sambal fish and char siew already... If you have any good vegetarian eateries in mind, please tell me. ;)

Claypot Rice

This is from the NUS Engineering Canteen. It's quite nice but after finishing the whole pot, I got kinda "scared" of the ginger taste. They cook this with plenty of the dark soy sauce with lots of grated ginger. (Most of the sauce is at the bottom, so it can't be seen from this photo.) I would say VHF's claypot rice is still my favourite! :P

Nasi Lemak

This nasi lemak is from the hawker center near M
