Ci Yin Vegetarian House

Had dinner with my family at this vegetarian cafe at Serangoon North Ave 1. It is famous for its vegetarian zi char dishes.

Reached there slightly before six and we were lucky to get a table there. Today is the 15 th of the lunar month and it’s packed with patrons.

Ordered their famous and very popular Fried Fish Steamboat. The soup base is very tasty and it’s well flavoured with Chinese Herbs and lots of other types of veg and mushrooms.

Some of the herbs used are dang gui slices and wolfberries. The soup tasted a little tangy due to the tomatoes added into it.

This dish is Fried Mushroom Strips stir-fried in mushroom sauce with Bok Choy. Mushroom had never tasted this delicious till now

Another delicious dish – Black Pepper Mock Meat fried with pineapple cubes, green pepper etc. Yummy!!

This is my fav cos I can’t eat real prawns due to my allergy. As such, it had been a really long time since I ate fried cereal prawns…. this is so crispy and delicious…. yummy yum

Comes with refreshing green apple salad.

So how much does all these delicious food cost??

Paid $39 for all those dishes we ordered + 3 bowls of rice + 3 bottles of herbal drinks. Pretty reasonable

Vegetarian Buffet Lunch @ Grand Court Restaurant

Am on Vegetarian diet today and so Hyacinthus suggested we have lunch at this vegetarian restaurant @ Chinatown.

Started my lunch with some refreshing salad which you DIY at the buffet counter.

Vegetarian Kway Chap. Very nice. The Kway Teow was very Q. The mock meat are not very salty too.

A smiley mocked intestine

Some of the Veg dim sum available.

More veg dim sum

Buffet includes fried olive rice, fried kway teow mee, tofu, assorted stir fried veg, veg curry etc. Food in general is not salty or sweet and not too oily too.

Buffet includes desserts like fruits, some kuehs and red bean soup

I would say the food is only avg (in my humble opinion).

And being small eaters, me and Hya din ate alot. Intially we wanna order ala carte but when we looked at the menu prices we felt it’s more worth to have the buffet instead.

Buffet is only available for lunch only.

Here’s the cost

Vegetarian Zi Char @ Circuit Road Food Centre

I did not know that there can be so many stalls selling Vegetarian food all located in the same Food Centre till ED brought me to this one at Blk 79 Circuit Road

Most of the Veg Zi Char stalls are only open in the evenings as they cater to the dinner/ supper crowd.

Managed to find one that’s open for lunch and I order a few dishes from this stall

Stir-fried Vegetarian Kidney slices with ginger shreds and assorted veg

Claypot Tofu and Veg Combo

Sweet & Sour Veg Pork Ribs

The 3 zi char dishes plus 2 plates of rice cost $18. Quite reasonable and the food were very very tasty

Saw alot of people order Char Kway Teow and Chai Tow Kuey from this stall and ordered a plate of Char Kway Teow and Fried Carrot Cake from him. Uncle got a bit of attitude problem. But the food is fantastic. Loved it so much

Stall #01-712

Fried Carrot Cake – $2

Char Kway Teow – $3

The Food Centre is divided into 2 sections. One section sells mostly Vegetarian food and the other section are the non-Vegetarian food.
