Welcome to Chinatown.

Teriyaki Burger Set with Potato Soup at Lian Xin Vegetarian underneath Buddha Tooth Relic Temple 🏠

Simple burger, 🍔 with the soy patty soaked in teriyaki sauce, paired with the veggies in it, Yummy! 😋 Baked beans and cole slaw was pretty nice as well. 🍟 were crispy and delicious, not too salty, enjoyed it 😬

🥔 soup was thick and filling. This whole set was pretty filling, if you are not a big eater, would recommend only getting the burger, it will be sufficient 👍

Lian Xin vegetarian is fully vegetarian, eggless with no alliums. For vegan options, will need to check with the staff. Mixed vegetable rice might have some vegan options ☺️

Conveniently located near Maxwell MRT (TE18) Exit 2. It is located underneath Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, find a hidden staircase that leads downwards on the perimeter of the temple 🤓

Highly recommended for tourists itching to try local cuisines and vegetarians who wants to try some western veggie food 🔥

👍👍

Dessert at Ri Ri Cha 🍧

Got a double scoop ice cream, Tangerine Pu Er and Duck Shit Oolong Flavor. It is not literally duck shit hahaha. Quick history, in the past, the tea leaves was said to have been grown on Duck Shit soil to prevent others from stealing the tea leaves as it has nice orchid like aroma 🫖 Wanted to be adventurous to try these 2 flavours out, turns out it was a GOOD decision ❗️Slight aroma from the Duck Shit Oolong Flavour and Tangerine skin can be tasted in the ice cream, pretty unique flavours 😋 Would get this again, however would wanna try other flavours the next time I go 😬

This place is vegetarian, eggless flavours as told by the staff. Vegan options, Im not too sure. They do serve tea as well, so you can visit for either the tea or ice cream ☺️

Conveniently located 5-10 minutes walk away from Maxwell MRT (TE18) Exit 2.

Highly recommended for vegetarians and tourists craving for something cold in the hot afternoon 🤩

Laksa at Lian Xin Vegetarian underneath Buddha Tooth Relic Temple 🌶️

Burst of flavours and taste when I started my first mouthful of the noodles with the soup 😍 Not too spicy, so good for me (if you love spicy, feel free to add the sambal chilli) Noodles have a firm and chewy texture, love it too 😬

($3) yam cake topped with hot gravy, garlic and chili (opt out if u don't eat spicy) and was quite soft and not that hard texture.

Wanton Mee at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple 🥰

Day 15 of Chinese New Year, crazily crowded and packed😍 Nevertheless, it was pure happiness seeing flocks of people eating vegetarian ☺️ Love the soup, super tasty. The noodles, ooOooO, has a fragrance smell, thanks to the sesame oil 🍜

Chicken Curry Potato with Egg Puff ($2)
Curry chicken, eggs, and soft mushy potatoes wrapped within smooth, crispy skin. I am usually not a fan of curry puff skin, but theirs stood out. Most are either too soft and thin or too thick and dull, while this was just right. The thickness gave a smooth, crunchy crust without being overly greasy, and it held the filling nicely. The curry chicken was tender and spicy with an eggy mouthfeel. Yum!

Rendang Chicken Puff ($2.20)
Tender chicken pieces slow‑cooked in rich rendang spices wrapped within crispy puff. The only difference here is the filling, but honestly it tasted quite similar to the curry chicken, just wetter. The rendang note was faint, though the texture and flavour were still enjoyable. Still tasty, haha!

The soup was savoury with a tad of herby and peppery notes, plus sweetness from wolfberries, making it more complex than a typical clear soup. The wantons were big, umami, meaty, and wrapped in slippery smooth skin. Overall, a good bowl, but be ready to brave the queue to get one.

Named after the location where this stall was founded in 1975 by Madam Koh Ah Kim, 2nd sister of the Koh Family behind the equally famous Ponggol Nasi Lemak and Bali Nasi Lemak brands, the stall has since been handed down to her son, Lin Heng Guan (Jack). Known for being the most traditional and nostalgic amongst the 3 brands, with comforting heritage dishes.

Crafted with natural ingredients, the long-grain basmati rice is infused with pandan / screwpine leaf essence and coconut milk, fragrant and loose and light with mild grainy earthy milky floral sweet flavour. The tiny crispy crunchy deep-fried ikan bilis / anchovies carry mild salty savoury fishy flavour, while the juicy cucumbers burst with vegetal sweet flavour. The wobbly soft sunny side up chicken egg carries eggy savoury sweet flavour and has a lovely runny yolk. The soft pliant otak-otak / otah / spiced mackerel fish paste has fishy savoury spice flavour.
.
The sotong / squid balls are bouncy with savoury sweet flavour, while the signature sambal sotong / stir-fried squid in chili paste is springy chewy in texture with pleasant savoury salty spice flavour. The thin sambal tumis / stir-fried chili paste has mild savoury salty spice flavour, alright.
