I'm constantly captivated by finding famous vegetarian hawkers in Singapore, and for today's post I will share with you arguably the most famous veggie stall in Tampines. If you're visiting Ren Xiang during peak timings, then expect there to be a long queue of customers waiting for their many offerings. The aunties running this stall are very warm and friendly, not the mafia thug aunties that run most stalls. So, without further delay, let's find out if the food at this stall is worth joining the queue for...
Ren Xiang Vegetarian Food
Location: #01-80, Blk 419 Tampines St 41
Contact: None
Opening Hours: Daily 6.00am-4.00pm. Closed Tuesday
Ren Xiang have a variety of different dishes available. I asked the auntie owner which of her dishes does she consider the best, she replied 'all of them are good' - I love that confidence.
I heard a lot of good things about the Ren Xiang Nasi Lemak, so that was the first dish I decided to order. This dish is vastly different to how we think of a traditional nasi lemak. There are no mock ikan bilis, no peanuts, no hash brown, no cucumbers - This is essentially not a nasi lemak. It more closely resembles economic rice and dishes. The rice is infused with coconut and pandan, and the traditional red chilli paste is present though. Although this dish may be stray away from convention, it is still an impressive mound of delicious food, which I fully enjoyed wolfing down.
Price: $2.50. 7/10
One of my all time favourite local dishes is certainly Lor Mee. I love the thick strong tasting gravy (especially when huge amounts of vinegar is added). The lor mee from Ren Xiang was definitely above average. There was a wide variety of different beancurd, mock meat, tofu items all inside the bowl. The gravy was thick and full of flavour, but I wish the auntie added more vinegar inside. Yellow noodles are not a favourite of mine, but the awesome gravy more than made up for it. Definitely a dish that I would order again.
Price: $2.50. 8/10
Conclusion - There is no doubt that Ren Xiang is a fantastic stall, and my only regret was not getting the chance to check out more of their dishes. I was a little surprised about their version of nasi lemak, but it was delicious nontheless. Certainly worth making the trip to Tampines to eat - Enjoy!
