Delicious Vegetarian Food is one of those stalls that I have been meaning to review for years, but just never got around to it. Located in the trendy Serangoon Gardens area, this stall represents one of the few vegetarian options for those who visit said area. Rather frustratingly, this is one of those stalls that is only open half day, so if you're coming after 2.30pm then they will inevitably be closed. The stall has a pretty good reputation, and has a devout following of customers who have been regularly patronizing their stall for countless years. They are especially known for their excellent mee pok, which is available every day. Apart from that, each day of the week they have a daily special.
Delicious Vegetarian FoodLocation: 49A Serangoon Gardens Way, #01-06Contact: 62852989Opening Hours: Daily 7.00am-2.30pm.As I mentioned just now, each day there is a daily special. On this particular day, it was
Chicken Rice. Vegetarian chicken rice is one of my particular favourites, and probably I have sampled over 100 different versions of vegetarian chicken rice, during my many years in Singapore. Overall, I found this dish to be decent enough, however the real let down was the quality of the rice. Flavour wise, the rice was decent enough, but the broken decrepit grains didn't appeal to me at all. The chili was biting and the beancurd derived mock chicken, with a crunchy (crusty chicken chop style) outer skin was quite delightful.
Price:$2.50. 6/10The signature dish of Delicious Vegetarian is their
Mee Pok, so it would be an injustice for me not to review it. My requirements for mee pok is very simple - Lots of vinegar! This is my personal preference, and I was pleased to find that this stall did include some vinegar inside (although it still was not enough for me). The quality of the noodles were fresh, and there was a surprisingly diverse range of ingredients inside. These include mock fish ball slices, tofu, mock duck, vegetables. For the price, you can't argue with the quality and taste of this delicious dish.
Price: $2.50. 8/10Conclusion - If you're going to Delicious Vegetarian specifically for the mee pok, then I believe your visit will not be a disappointing one. People rave about the Serangoon Garden mee pok for a reason, and the hype is quite justified. I would love to return again and try their other daily specials. For any of my readers that have tried them, please feedback in the comments.Overall RatingFood - 7/10Ambiance- 6/10 Service - 6/10 Value - 8/10
