Yi xin vegetarian food






It's exactly 7 days to CNY 2010. This yr, the cny ''feel'' and atmosphere is quite low and it's getting weaker over the years. Im not looking forward to this new yr as there are just too many unpleasant things taking placing this yr. Well, it's time to do some spring cleaning at home. Thus, i intend to use this wk to clean up my house, decorate it and throw away the unwanted rubbish. From Mon(8/2/2010)nowards, my post would not be all on vegetarian restaurants but a mixture of organic foods, sandwich bars and others. Im getting sick of eating vegetarian food ... :/

Yi xin vegetarian (39 TEMPLE ST)

It's just located beside Yum cha Restaurant and once you enter the shop, u can see the big signboard. There is also a separate corner that sells organic stuffs. Since cny is ard the corner, they do sell some cny goodies.

I snapped a picture of their shop when i enter and the auntie was quite displeased. I wanted to take a look at the menu and order some food. The auntie was quite rude and asked me whether i want to take photos or order food. I was quite unhappy with her behaviour and told her i want to order food.

I ordered:

Sweet and sour mushrooms ($7)
Stir fry veggie with tofu ($7)

The presentation of the food is quite well done. There were abt 10 mushrooms balls (which looks like giant pork balls) cooked in honey sweet sauce. The mushrooms balls were huge and i think it's made from soy products, chestnuts and mushrooms. It was served with some organic side salad.The portion is huge and i could hardly finish.

Stir-fryied veggie with tofu

There were 6 pcs of tofus and it's not the soft and silken version. The texture is slightly rough and there were carrots, mushrooms, black fungus and other stuffs in the tofu. It was quite good though. The veggie is simple and lightly fried.

The food here is generally good and the presentation is well done. The restaurant is a little stuffy and warm. When i finished my food, the auntie came and ''lecture'' me, not to take photos without permission. Well, i would take note of that but her attitude was bad from the moment i enter the shop. Thus, i would never step in again.

I would not have stepped in the first place, especially after the whole staring incident etc.
