Bishan Vegetarian Bì Shān Sù Shí

This stall has been my savior since my school days 20 years ago. That said, the quality, flavour and taste has always been low and no significant improvement over these years. Good variety but the standard vege mock meats are used. Curry taste very “temple like”. Portions can be bigger.

One of the few busy vegetarian stalls I've encountered. Despite having to handle 4 5 customers at once during busy periods, the people working here remain calm and made sure every customer gets their food as quickly as possible. I love the huge variety on the menu, with noodles like lor mee and rice items like xiang chun fried rice, and filling side dishes like chee cheong fun, chwee kueh and radish cake. The only problem I have with them is the taste, IMO is not 'quite there' yet. For example, their lor mee lacked the herbal taste I prefer. Still, it's one place definitely worth the try.

The mixed dry noodles 3.50 came with crispy flat squares, soy ’char siew’ shredded cabbage, as well as a sauce that had sesame oil, tomato sauce soy sauce. Sauce was a lil’ too sweet for me though!  The bak kut teh Fri afternoon special, 4.50 was on the sweeter side but was chock full of yummy ingredients : Really appreciated how generous they were with the huge monkeyhead mushroom chunks :3

While the cai fan is a little too oily for me, I have to applaud them for their quick service when it comes to the zi char options. The best part is when this is paired with relatively lower prices, a wide variety of dim sum of which my ultimate favourite is the pumpkin pau , and Zi char options for dinner times.

The stall is always popular; good daily specials and their regular items are yummy. I've been going there at least once a week for the past year.
