Ruyi Yuan Vegetarian - Toa Payoh

Whenever someone asks me where I can find the best vegetarian bee hoon in Singapore, there is always one stall I will certainly recommend - Ruyi Yuan.  Their HQ, which is in Redhill has been serving outstanding white bee hoon for decades, and without fail always have long queues, no matter what day of the week it is. What many people don't know, however, is that beside from their famous Redhill stall, Ruyi Yuan can actually be found in two other locations in Singapore.  Today I will feature their Toa Payoh outlet, which is actually run by the daughter (and her husband) of the original owner.










Ruyi Yuan Vegetarian
Location: Blk 78C Toa Payoh Central
Contact: None
Opening Hour: Daily 8.00am-1.00pm.  Closed Monday.


If you're interested, these are the other two locations for Ruyi Yuan.
There is nothing else to order at any of the Ruyi stalls except for White Bee Hoon and Dishes.  I will get straight into this, the bee hoon and dishes from this stall pales in comparison to the original Redhill outlet.  The bee hoon doesn't have that same wok hei intensity that the original outlet has.  The ingredients used inside are all identical to the original outlet, but didn't seem to have quite as much flavour as the original.  The biggest difference was definitely the bee hoon.  When compared with regular vegetarian bee hoon stalls, this would still rank as a pretty decent version - But when compared to her mother's stall, it didn't quite hit those levels.

Price: $3.00.     7/10





Conclusion - If you want the best vegetarian bee hoon experience in Singapore, then I can't emphaise enough how much you need to visit the original Ruyi Yuan stall.  Frankly, her daughters stall can't compete with the original, not to mention the daughter is incredibly 'kiam siap' when ordering, always trying to charge additional if you customize what items you do and don't want.
