Vegetarian Food

I do like to eat vegetarian food. It's easy to find good vegetarian food nowadays. It also helps that I like to eat most vegetables and I'm not into red meat since I was a kid, so much so that some cooked food sellers had asked if I'm a Chinese Muslim whenever I ask them to omit the pork. In those days, you know, there was no such thing as healthy eating and everybody likes to eat meat. So if you don't like meat, people start to wonder!

Last year, I went totally vegetarian for a short period of 3 weeks. It was supposed to be for a month, but the Spuddies kept on inviting us over for dinner, that it was getting rather pai seh to keep rejecting them, so that ended my 3-week vegetarian stint.


Vegetarian tom yam bee hoon with imitation squid (Blah!)

I'm a sucker for tom yam soup and am willing to accept (very) low standards of tom yam that's sold outside, yet this one still cannot make it to the low standard; won't eat again unless super duper desperate... like if I'm having addiction induced withdrawal symptoms!


Vegetarian tom yam fried bee hoon - quite tasty, with lots of veggies


Vegetarian tauhu goreng (they also sell a new type of rojak popiah!)


Vegetarian laksa, with imitation cockles made of mushrooms; too creamy for my taste


Vegetarian kueh chap with super chewy, bouncy mock fish balls (Weird!)


Another version of vegetarian kueh chap which is more substantial - with (clockwise) mei cai, taupok, taugua, mock meat and tau kee.


This vegetarian fan choy was purchased by the SO, coz I simply dislike mock char siew. It tastes blah!


Vegetarian chye png with brown rice, cabbage, 4-wing bean and bitter gourd in black bean sauce (salty)


Vegetarian chye png from another food court - their veggie dishes are remarkably fresh-tasting with minimal sauces and seasoning (but not bland), which is how I like my veggies (must be the Teochew influence from my mother)


Vegetarian ban mian with mock ikan bilis made from mushroom stalks...clever!


Vegetarian bak chang (this one is so-so, but I've tasted very good home-made ones).


Vegetarian herbal (hand-made) noodles with mock mutton (?) ... nice soup.


Organic vegetarian sushi...very pretty but eat liao not filling one


Vegetarian Hakka Lei Cha (green, gooey, herby soup not shown)


Organic vegetarian fried brown rice (the organic shop don't serve white rice)


Organic vegetarian Korean bibimbap...my favourite!


Vegetarian chicken rice with chicken made of tau kee (English name is dried soya bean sticks?)

This version has crispy "chicken skin" so it must be roasted chicken (烧鸡); the organic shop has a version with "white steamed chicken" (白暂鸡), which I have yet to try, because it's served on the same day as the Korean bibimbap, so the irresistible bibimbap wins every time.


Most North Indian food stalls which sells naan would have vegetarian curries and dishes like dahl and cauliflower curries.
