Lingzhi Vegetarian Restaurant (灵芝素食)

Went there on a Saturday afternoon with my parents after knowing that they have moved and the High tea which we used to adore came back in action.

In this restaurant newly located at Novena Square, there is no steamboat buffet available. However, on weekends and public holidays, you may go for the High Tea Buffet, which in the past they used to serve when they were still located in orchard towers (ages ago).

It costs $15++ per person. The usuals like my favourite 粉包 and carrot cake are available. However, we were kind of upset when there isn't any Char Siew Bun.

Dim Sum

Other than the usual dim sum, there are also a total of 4 dishes available for numerous orders. The Rock and Roll Salad is one of the recommended dish. Only in a serving size, there is a generous serving of vegetables mixed with a special sauce, comprising of Wasabe Sauce, Vinegar and Soy Sauce. Tastes really special and it works wonders as an appetiser.

The other dishes include the treasures beancurd skin (法海金盏), straw mushrooms beancurd as well as Luo han veg.

Treasures Beancurd Skin

The overall experience was good as the setting of the restaurant is modern, not your typical chinese restaurant. Im not able to comment on services as this is self-service buffet. However, the waiters are still ok, as we are regular customers.

QQ Rice (台湾饭团)

A new Rice franchise from taiwan has just arrived in Singapore. Nonetheless, since my sister loonie tart has introduced this new snack, I have completely fallen prey to it.

Step 1: Choose Your Rice (Be it Wheat Rice, Brown Rice or Purple Rice)

Step 2: Choose 5 Ingredients

(Thanks Loonie tart for helping me scan the order form)

Step 3: Pay the $$ and Collect your rice roll Example Vegetarian Combo: Sliced Burdock, Vege Pork Floss, Mushrooms, Vege Ham, Pickled Veg.. SEDAP!

Its simple and easy, and it is not very expensive, at only $3.20 per roll. Most Importantly, the RICE is healthy!

Do not fret that the utensils used are unclean, as the vegetarian section is using different tongs. Also, if you do take eggs, please do not choose the egg fill, as it is used together with the 'meats' tongs.
