Saw a newspaper review yesterday about this new vegetarian restaurant situated next to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and we decided to give it a try. The ambience is good and deco looks cool too. We expected the to pay at least $50 for the meal but it turned out that the total bill is only around $37 since there’s a 10% discount (probably for opening promo).
Entrance
Chrysanthemum tea ($5) and peanuts
Roasted suckling “pig” ($15)
This is so good that although the portion is really small, it’s still worth ordering. :P~~ Based on the price, this means every small piece is approximately $2. haha… The chef’s skill is so good that with every piece you eat, you’ll yearn for more. There’s some soft layer under the skin (mock fat layer) that complements the crispy skin so well. And best of all, you get to savour a traditional Chinese delicacy without guilt and harm done to baby pigs, and it’s also a much healthier choice for health-conscious people.
Tawainese-style spicy monkey head mushrooms ($9)
This dish is also good because the monkey head mushrooms’ texture and flavour are so much nicer than wheat gluten mock meat.
Fried e-fu noodles ($6)
I was a little disappointed with this because I was expecting braised type of e-fu noodles as I prefer soggy, soft, flavorful e-fu noodles. Frying makes the e-fu noodles slightly too chewy for my liking. Luckily, the tasty sambal saved the day.
Lychee jelly (complimentary dessert)
