Having reviewed hundreds of vegetarian establishments, I admittedly get a little tired of the repetitive dishes that are on offer at most eateries. Therefore, it was refeshing to see Sin Min Vegetarian Food selling a variety of uncommon dishes. This stall has built up a loyal following, chiefly for their four Japanese set meals, which are all sold at only $5. The yong tau foo is also a popular seller. During the brief talk I had with the owner, it is clear he has great pride and passion in his dishes, which always scores brownie points with me.

It was inevitable that I would order one of the Japanese meals. I went with the Japanese Unagi Bento Set. The components to this set meal are as follows - Fish (unagi) slices in special sauce, white rice, watermelon, mayo, and dessert. This set meal can potentially be a minefield for vegans like myself. The dessert contains egg (and possibly milk as well), and the mayonesise also is not vegan. The mock meat joined very well with the rice, and I was pleased by the flavour of the sauce that was drizzled over the fish.
Price: $5.00. 7/10
I wanted to order another dish, so I packeted the Noodle with Special Sauce. Although the price seemed a little steep at first, I was impressed by how jam-packed the container was with food. This dish could be considered a little too salty for most, but other than that I found the flavours to be very nice. Ingredients within the dish are small pieces of mock char siew, another type of diced mock meat, beansprouts, vegetable and fried tau kee.
Price: $3.80. 7/10
Conclusion - Possitive attitude can go a long way in the hawker/food business. So often I visit stalls and see a tired and apathetic look on the face of the staff. For this stall, it was refreshing to see the owner show such dedication and care in the food he presents to the public. The food is not perfect, but definitely above average.
