Forest Dew Vegetarian Restaurant

DH and I were on the way home one evening last week when 7-month old DD decided she was going to cry and cry and cry... We pulled into the next parking lot so we can get her out of her car seat & soothe her.

Turns out, we were right in front of a vegetarian restaurant!! We decided to get dinner there. Ordered two soups and two other dishes...

Since the lady said each soup was one portion, we ordered two - a Watercress Soup and a Salted Vegetable Soup. Turns out the portion was pretty large... Had I known, I would have ordered just one. The Salted Vegetable Soup had a nice herbal taste to it, and DH seemed to like the Salted Vegetable Soup.



We also got a Sambal Chicken and a Fish in Black Bean Paste. We were too eager to dig in that we forgot to take photos first! The sambal was fiery hot... I don't think I really tasted the "chicken". The "fish" was good.



Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The menu was extensive, I would definitely go back and try other items!

Century Egg and Spinach

Last weekend, my mom gave me a couple of century eggs, so I used one of them in my spinach dish. Here's how...

Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup stock
1 century egg, diced
1 egg, beaten
some garlic, chopped
a bundle of spinach, washed
a handful of wolfberries (I forgot these in dish pictured)
some oil for frying

1. Heat oil, and fry the garlic.
2. Add stock and wolfberries. Bring to a boil.
3. Add century egg and spinach. Boil until spinach is soft.
4. Stir in beaten egg.

Easy and yummy! :-)

Last week, my DH and I was at Beauty World Centre, and trying to find a place for dinner. I knew, from times past, that there was the food court on the 4th floor...

So, up we went, and we found, to our delight, a new vegetarian cafe - ok, it is not so new anymore, as it is a year old, but given that the last time I have been to this building was almost 12 years ago, it is new.

Green on earth cafe looked inviting (especially compared to the foodcourt outside) with a simple decoration and menu that looked yummy.

We went in, got seated, and then baby started to cry, so, the first dish at this cafe was milk for baby!! The owner was realy nice lady, and got us some hot water to heat up the milk.


I tried the beetroot & orange soup, and it was good, although I thought it would have been better as a cold drink than a hot soup.


As a starter, we tried the "Vietnamese Roulade", essentially vietnamese style spring roll. Nice healthy alternative to the deep-fried version.


For main dishes, we got the Mapo tofu pot, which came in a hot claypot and was served with brown rice. We also got a specialty (I have forgotten the name) which was fried mock fish that comes with a lovely sauce and lettuce which is used to wrap the 'fish' to eat.


Overall we found the meal extremely satisfying, and will certainly come back!

Vegetarian Villas

We came across a relatively new restaurant at Bukit Merah - Vegetarian Villas. The restaurant has an interesting concept of serving vegetarian Yong Tau Foo. Customers select items they want in their dish, and whether they want it in a soup or "dry". They may also add noodles or rice, or select a regular soup or laksa soup.

The restaurant also serve a few other dishes like claypot rice/noodles, satay beehoon and specials on certain days.


Our first time there, we also found out that some items go into the soup, while others are fried and served with sesame seeds in a separate bowl.

Overall, we quite enjoyed our meal, and have been back quite a few times since!
