Yuan Yuan Vegetarian (渊远素食) - CLOSED

As per my understanding, the stall seemed to have moved elsewhere. This stall is currently operated by Sui Yuan Vegetarian, which is the stall from Tiong Bahru Plaza Food Court.

That day had lunch with my FT friends since they are also working around my area. Yuan Yuan Vegetarian is one of the stalls i like cos' the Auntie is very nice and they cook really good food.
As usual, my love for spicy food never stops, i ordered the laksa which even my coll who is a non-veg likes it.

Laksa ($2.50)

Lots of ingredients and there is even fried egg on it! The soup is thick and not spicy. I love the tau pok as it is very juicy!

Hor Fun ($2.50)

Huimin's favourite cos' she can't stop loving it. haha. As seen, there are more veg than kway tiao! Really a good buy and I ate a mouthful, it tastes good.

Fried Kway Tiao ($2.50)

I love this fried kway tiao a lot! Serving is big and the taste of sweetness is just right. Most importantly, unlike most stalls, this stall is willing to add egg into the kway tiao which makes the fragrance of it!

Mixed Vegetables Rice $2.50

Other than selling the "Zhu Chao", there is also Mixed Vegetables Rice available. There are more than 15 dishes to choose from. I love the Sweet and Sour Pork as it tastes crunchy and it never fails to disappoint.

*Sadly, Yuanyuan is moving in January. We have enquired and seems like the stall owners are looking for new stalls. Hence, you may still call them.

NUS Engineering Canteen (国大学府工程系)

Last week i met Dr. Tay for lunch at the NUS Engineering Canteen. This is one of the cheapest places for working adults like us, as the food is very much cheaper than outside.

Kway Chap $1.50

Quite a fair amount for small eaters. Dr. Tay's Favourite. I tried the soup, it tastes authentic, and you can taste the strong aroma of tonics (e.g Tang Gui) used. Sadly there isnt any Tau Pok given. Nonetheless, at $1.50, what more can you ask for? The Chili is also not too sour and tastes just right for the soup. For big eaters, you may order the $2 serving.

Wanton Noodles $1.80

Normally my favourite is the Fish Head Bee Hoon Soup from this stall. However, I wanted to feature something different. Hence tried the Wanton noodles. Serving is just right for a lady, and the amount of noodles is a lot. However, being a picky eater, I did not really like the way the noodles was cooked, as it wasnt Q enough, and some of the noodles stuck together, making it not so nice. Nonetheless, the wanton is not too bad.

Other than these specialties, there is also mixed vegetables rice, where there are approximately 20 dishes available for you to choose from.

Other recomendations: Fish Head Bee Hoon Soup, Claypot Rice/Noodles

If you are working in the science park area, there are free buses going in NUS.

Location: NUS Engineering Canteen (Alight at Central Library Busstop)

Opening Hours: Mon - Sat 8AM - 7PM, Sat till 3PM

Sui Yuan Vegetarian Stall (随缘素食) - MOVED to Buona Vista!

I heard this has moved to Holland Drive Blk 44!

This is one of the place I always patronise after facials at Tiong Bahru. The prawn noodle is a must try!

Vegetarian Prawn Noodle (素虾面) $3.50

Of all the places which I have tried prawn noodles at, I believe this stall is one of the best. Serving is big and the soup is special. The lady serving is also quite nice as I have requested to have the noodles and soup separated. Not all stalls allow that, especially when there is a queue! Other than this, the stall also sells other food like hokkien noodles or tom yum soup noodles. My brother-in-law loves the dried noodles, which I must also admit their wanton is tasty too!

Tom Yam Soup with Rice ($3.50)

*Picture from Clarice

Thank you clarice for providing another picture from Sui Yuan. She tried the Tom Yam Soup the other day and commented that it tasted sour and spicy enough. Worth the price as there are many ingredients in the soup.

Location: Holland Drive Blk 44, Coffee shop facing Main Road
