Ikea Restaurant

This is a hidden gem.

Vegeterian Rice (9/10)

And I really mean it when I say it is 'hidden' because unlike all other main courses, you can't even see the staff preparing it when you order. The staff had to go all the way to the 'back' of the kitchen to get it.

Rice is fragrant and well-executed. A very simple but satisfying meal! :)

Don't remind me of the queue and waiting time, though. >_<'

Kwan Inn Vegetarian Food 观音斋

Laksa (8/10)



The cook of this dish showed me how delicious the usually bland tofu can be. Tofu, Taupok, beansprouts - all that I could ask for from a bowl of Laksa.

$2 or $2.50 (can't remember)

Fried Rice (6/10)



Fish and Chips (9/10)



The fish was so good, it really tasted like the real one, no kidding. The portion of the fish was so small, though, that I wonder if it is meant for a small kid. :P

Price
$12 plus for the above and 2 fruit juice

I will definitely return the fish and chips... that is, if I want to have some snacks. :P

Roma's Deli

We wanted to avoid the crowd in Bugis. So we headed to Shaw towers with the intention of catching a movie. Seems like they were only screening 3 movies!

My hub spotted an old Buddhist Reverend coming out of an italian restaurant that sells pastas and pizzas. Out of curiosity, he went to have a closer look. Guess what? That's a vegetarian italian restaurant. How very interesting! So, that, became the place we had dinner.

Please pardon me for the blue tinges in the photos that follow. Can't really help it as the lights were rather bluish over there. :P

Mushroom Soup (9/10)



Garlic bread (9/10)



This vegetarian restaurant does not use garlic in their food. So what goes inside this 'garlic' bread? It made it all the more amazing how they can make this garlic bread taste like one. In fact, I would say it tasted even better than the authentic ones that we usually had! It's fragrant and got a light crisp to every bite you make. Almost wanted to skip taking photo of this, but am so glad I didn't, coz I wouldn't have photos to show you guys then! :)

Hot Green Tea (9/10)

I don't usually take photos of beverages, but did so because

1) not many restaurants offer Hot green tea as their beverage. Usually, it's the cold version.
2) the cup's big enough for me. Not the usual mini sized cups that I could have finished after a few sips.
3) of the colourful christmas lightings that were reflected on the drink. hee!



Pizza (3/10)

I have warned my hub against ordering a pizza, but he refused to listen. See lah... he only had a piece of it.



Chicken and Mushroom baked rice (8/10)



Pretty good! The cheese (I suppose they do use diary products?) was not too heavy and the ingredients beneath it were tasty and healthy. This was the first time I had brocolli in my baked rice. :)



Service
Pretty prompt in serving

Ambience
It's cosy and has that christmas feel. There are also nice, big photos of ingredients and food on the walls to whet your appetite before your food arrives. :)

Price
$20+ for two main courses that comes with soup, 'garlic' bread and a beverage.

Vegetarian Black Pepper Chicken Kway Teow

If there is anything that will make my day during working days, it would be this.


















Type
Chinese, Vegetarian

Taste
9/10
One would really have to try it to know how good it is. Especially the mock chicken in it. It's tender... it's succulent... it's deliciooous! :D~~~


















I had to reserve that 1 point because the kway teow is something quite dry. That could be due to the fact that it dried up in the packet before I open it up to eat. Still, there should be more gravy in it to prevent that from happening. Other than that, it's perfect.

Ambience
Eh... nothing to comment as it is a take away.
