Loke Who Yuen Vegetarian Restaurant

Ti's another vegetarian restaurant. Hmm... i think i would became a vegetarian very soon.

Loke Who Yuen, PRONNOUNCE as Liu He Yuan in mandarin is an old vegetarian restaurant in Singapore. It is popular with nuns and monks and especially during the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. This traditional vegetarian restaurant had been there for a very long time and very few people knew them.

The interior is quite cosy and probably fit around 10 tables. Since this is a vegetarian restaurant, they have some sculture of buddha and played some buddhist songs.

Menu is simple, with some chef's specialities. I had the Golden coin beancurd and stir-fry caixin.The food came pretty fast.

Golden coin beancurd

Beancurd cut into round shapes resembling golden coins, lightly stir-fry with sweet peas, sweetcorns an button mushrooms. The button mushrooms were huge and chewy to bite. The tofu is pretty simple, nth special.

Stir-fry caixin

I have tried several places with stir-fry caixin. However, i think that they did it quite well. The caixin remained it's full flavour after the simple blanching. The leaves were withered and wasn't oily. I like this.

Overall, this vegetarian restaurant serve pretty good dishes. That could be why they are able to survive for so long.

After lunch, i went to Tiong Bahru plaza, by foot. ThE weather these days were terrible! The intensity of the heat from the sun is making me dizzy and sweating profusely. I bought some clothes from PepperPlus as they are having some promotions. As i could not stand the weather any longer, i went back home after that, stayed in my room and enjoyed the air-con and watched movies!
