Deli-vege











Deli-vege Restaurant(South Bridge Road)

Who says that man vegetarian food are boring? Most of us are meat-lovers and seldom would want to eat vegetarian food. We thought that vegetarian food are made from gluten, plain and tasteless. Actually we could have at least eat a vegetarian meal in a week to clear our digestive system.

Deli-vege Restaurant serve some innovative vegetarian food. They do not use any MSG, Preservatives or gluten in their food. Most of the vegetarian food uses Gluten but they replace the ''meat'' by using soy protein(which is healthier).

The food

The menu is thick and is classified into different sections- Western, Asian & Japanese. Well, many choices indeed and you can enjoy different types of cuisine in a meal. It was rather difficult to choose what i want to order. I saw some reviews on HGW that the DFC is worth mentioning. DFC is actually fried chicken, which is fried chicken served with colslow and french fries. I didnt think much of that as it seems a little unhealthy and pretty 'normal''.

I ordered the Stir-fried kangkong and Sweet and Sour chicken.

Stir-fried kangkong

A simple vegetable dish which they stir-fry it with some oyster sauce. I find it a little weird. Kangkong would taste better with sambal.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

It was simply some sweet and sour sauce poured over deep-fried ''chicken'' and served with pineapple cubes and cucumbers. The sweet and sour sauce is quite ok, but on the sweet side. It would be better if they stir-fry the deep-fried ''chicken'' with the sauce rather than pouring over it. It makes the dish a little dry.

Generally the food is ok but nothing to rave about. The Good thing about this restaurant is the variety of food that is served. However, there would just too many fried stuffs. At least 90% of the food here is deep-fried. Not too healthy if you want healthy vegetarian food.

Good Morning Nanyang Cafe (Level 3 Chinatown Point)

Again HGW brought me to this little cafe tucked in level 3 of chinatown point. From the reviews, the orange ciabatta toastw ith kaya butter seemed to be very popular. Thus, i decided to get one to try it for myself.

They made the orange ciabatta bread themselves so you would not find it elsewhere. However, u can also opt for normal white bread/wholemeal. The ornage ciabatta bread is lightly toasted and spread with generous amount of butter and their home-made kaya. The auntie is really generous with the kaya as she wants the customer to taste the fragrance of kaya rather than eating the plain bread.

Verdict

The orange ciabatta bread is really soft even after toasting. The outer layer is crispy and the interior is soft and fluffy. The kaya and butter taste really good with the bread. Remember to eat it warm, it would not be as good if u leave it for too long. Recomended as the bread is rather unique.
