纯素 - a nod. Omit ďressing to veganize. Not the 1st time my instructions have fallen on deaf 👂, so repeat (multiple times if necessary) to make your point now that the usual lady manning the stall has been replaced by young chaps who have screwed up my orders more than once #konjac #chicken #nuggets pricey ($6.50) with only 5 instead of the market trend 6 but good while it lasted 🥹 radiating #scallop -y vibes minus the kill and humphh.. surprisingly soft (for konjac) 🤔 The runaway 🦀 couple tables away wasn't so fortunate though. It caused a commotion by escaping from the temporary housing of a plastic bag while its 'owner' went about its next immediate meal. If only more people can be informed of the karmic retribution of direct killing, then maybe they'll think twice about putting everything classified as 'food' into their 👄 for those fleeting moments of tasteful bliss #alliumfree #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease

Omit mayo to veganize (doubt its the vegan variant) and was told most items on page 2 are vegan with the exception of prawn roll (蛋奶). Quite frankly, it doesn't taste like it 🙃 Priced at $7 and dismembered into 10 equal parts to look full (on the plate), crispily done it was but then again, I seriously have my doubt bout it 😅 #alliumfree #fish #deepfried #seaweed #chinesefood

This tasted very comforting. The yam was cooked nice and tender. Congee was so smooth, seasoned with soy sauce, topped with ginger strips, corríander and braised peanuts.

Yam Congee

What a great discovery! Vegetarian congee is hard to find. It is always so heartwarming to have a bowl of hot congee. The presentation is simple & elegant. The green coriander brings a splash of brightness & contrast to the white canvas. Peppery powder dots on the leaves giving its finishing touch before presenting itself. The thinly sliced yellow ginger gives a beautiful flavor. I just love ginger for it depth it brings to every dish. The stewed peanuts came conveniently from a can, yet, their presence brings so much comfort to every bowl of congee. A familiar sight to behold. There is few stripes of orange carrots 🥕 which add a little color to the congee. I couldn’t really decode the dark sauce topping. I could taste mushrooms & the rest are a mystery. The smoothness & softness of the congee brings me back to the good old days of a bowl of congee at Crystal Jade. Delightfully, this bowl of congee is salted very lightly. Chinese yam is invisible to the eyes but I could taste tiny cubes of them. I wish there was more as this is Chinese Yam Congee - they are meant to be main characters, don’t they? What is truly lacking in this dish is toasted sesame oil! It would totally elevate the congee! Price: S$6 using App to pay-$5.40, after 10% discount.

Didn't look impressive until I stirred the congee and it all turned dark. Thought it would be v salty but it was totally ok. Alot of mock meat bits in there, some soft yam and braised peanuts. Very tasty!

Dumpling skins became non coloured but still nice. Skin abit thick but I am fine with thick skins as I like carbs.

Always loved their food. Never failed. The noodles were tasty and chewy in dark sauce. Served with large bowl of veggie soup with some tofu and veg anchovies innit. Very generous with the chinese spinach.

Rice and roasted mock chicken were both great. The Chicken was beancurd skin and v crispy on the outside. Yummy but a tad too salty for me.

It’s not easy to find #vegan-friendly #meehoonkway even though it’s such an easy dish to prepare as long as you make your own noodles. Come to think of it 🤔 Bao Si Zhai is the only vegan/vegetarian eatery that does ban-mian, u-mian and dumplings 🥟 that I know of. There used to be many but most of them ceased their businesses. Anyway, back to this dish, it’s basically #Chinese gnocchi 🤣 you make this by pulling pieces of dough that would otherwise be made into long strands of #noodles like ban-mian (fettuccine) and u-mian (bucatini without the hole), and toss into boiling soup to cook. This one comes with a generous amount of #spinach. I added a spoon of #chillipadi 🌶️ for the extra heat.

Loved the fragrant rice that came along with the beancurd chicken. Could’ve done with a little more greens. Two lonely cucumber slices just didn’t cut it mate.
