Vegetarian Chicken Rice at 33 Vegetarian Food — Low Lai Chow's Review (Aug 1, 2025)

SCARIEST vegan meal of my life 👀 - this steamed not-chicken was so well-executed it looked and tasted like real chicken. At one point I even thought I had bitten into actual tiny bone shards 😱 (probably just bits of star anise). Everything was fabulous here: pandan-matic sesame oiled rice, fresh coriander sprigs, spring onion stalks, thinly sliced tomato and cucumbers. Presentation was the only thing wanting since everything seemed haphazardly plopped onto the plate. But hey, that is entirely consistent with authentic hawker cuisine 🙃. Kudos to the hawkers here who knows their stuff - apparently they did actually sell chicken rice before becoming vegetarians and so flipped the menu too to the #crueltyfree side.
