Vegetarian Soup

Fantastic Vegetarian Soup dishes cooked by beloved mum with mushrooms from friend. 

BBQ for Vegetarians

Had a family gathering BBQ and what thoughtful mum & host had got me: Fried vegetarian meehoon, sweet potato & sweet corn (must have in BBQ for non-vegetarians too, sweet & juicy!), fresh tempeh fom market. On top of that, mum also purchased this : Vegetarian Roasted Mutton Bunch. It is supposed to be vegetarian satay that its look certainly need improvement but taste wise is still quite acceptable.

Its ingredients on label: Water, Dried Mushroom Top, Soybean Oil, Soybean Protein, Sugar, Salt, Vegetarian Natural Flavour and Flavouring, Flavour Enhancer (E627, E631).

However, the sweet corn is still the best natural and healthy food to have in BBQ though :-)

Burdock Fibrous Shredded

This had been prepared in resemblence to the meat floss in vegetarian version (no Fried food, no Preservatives, no MSG) which tasted great with porridge.:-)
A product from Taiwan with main ingredients: Burdock, Non-GMO soy protein, Olive Grape-Seed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Cane Sugar, sesame, Pea Powder, Wheat Protein, Salt & Vegetarian seasoning.

Had been looking for it for a long time since last tried it in India/Sri Lanka last Dec and I happen to discover this vegetarian shop : Ko's Vegetarian Pte Ltd while exploring the Xin Ming/Shunfu estate. In there, I found my other favourite snacks such as the Vegetarian Buckwheat Seaweed Cookies . :-)



It's a comparative neat air-conditioned shop which is a great contrast to other shops in an old HDB estate (Blk23, Sin Ming Rd, #01-33) that caught my attention. Half of it is an area selling instant vegetarian supplies & snacks while the other half is a Buddhist bookshop promoting mainly Dharma books of Venerable Master Yin Shun & Venerable Master Tai Xu as well as a small section of Dharma book free distribution section. I was told the shop may be only one of the 2 in Singapore that you could find works of the 2 Great Masters. Opening hours generally 10am-6pm daily , rest alternate Sunday, manned by Venerable De Zhen from PKFT who is ever friendly to introduce one to good books.

Great to discover another interesting shop amidst my foodhunt mission. :-)

Water Dispenser

What is this that I would like to introduce? The vertical Rectangular water dispenser in picture that with a press of the buttons is able to dispense cold, warm (around 30 degree Celsius) and hot water!!! Applause to this invention and I sure hope it could be introduced to Singapore soon.

If you had been to Singapore, the water dispensers are still very traditional, usually the type that you need a strong man to change heavy big bucket/bottle when it is empty. And it only has the choice of hot & cool water and not so user-friendly tap for hot water too. :P

I strongly believe there is a potential market in Singapore as well for this type of user-friendly water dispenser commonly found in Taipei. :-)
