Review of Shark Fin Melon Soup with Chestnut Rice at Simple Lifestyle Healthy Vegetarian Cafe by dafnelately
I love this new offering! 🙌 The restaurant usually only serves 1 dish of the day so it’s really up to your luck what you receive 😋 Today’s something I’ve never had here before, #sharkfin soup with #chestnut rice 🥢 A #chinesenewyear special, perhaps? In any case, this was really good 😌 especially at the deal I got it at; S$5.70 instead of the advertised S$6 for dine-in. They usually charge an additional S$0.50 for #takeout 😉 The base price here was in fact S$5.50 but I got charged an additional S$0.20 for the #soup container. I offered to have them just pour a spoonful or so over the rice because I actually like soggy rice but they recommended against it 🤷♀️ After trying it though, I maintain my position that it’s fine to have the soup poured over the rice. It’s just a bunch of #mushrooms in a slightly more slimy than water texture. You can use #lessplastic this way too! I would’ve put the soup in my stojo cup had I not left it at @waterlily’s place 🙈 The rice toppings were pretty simple. A couple stems of #broccoli with french beans and some incredibly flavourful #tofu 🫘 Honestly I need to start marinating mine like @m1tch9i does if I intend to up my cooking game 😂 It’s just.. I don’t have the fridge space for it in my unit! I’d get this again if I’m feeling lazy to go elsewhere since it’s just a stone’s throw away from my office but otherwise, a plenty great one-off feast 😇
