I walked up & down from stretch nearest to Thomson Medical centre to Shaw Plaza but could find no vegetarian stalls. I asked around and no one knows of any! So, this is really a potential place for vegetarian stall owners!!! I didn't have the time to locate Quality Hotel which is only place I know in that area that has a Vegetarian restaurant. In the end, I managed to special order Vegetarian Hor Fun from a non-vegetarian eatery outlet in Balestier Plaza. And look what a big portion of green vege I had and it's quite economical & tasty:-)
Balestier Road is famous for its many outlets of Tau Sar Piah (traditional bean paste pastry,豆沙饼). I think the House of Tau Sar Piah is the only Vegetarian outlet I can find along the stretch of Balestier Road that I explored. It is located at 529 Balestier Road, just beside the Kwang Im Tng Temple. I was surprised besides the traditional sweet & saltish type of pastry fillings, it has coffee, pine-apple and green-tea flavour as well.
Although not much a traditional pastry lover, I find the green-tea pastry that I tried quite acceptable. (Sorry, its surface may have suffered some casualty on my way home:P) Worth a try if you are vegetarian and love traditional pastry as the non vegetarian version generally has pork lard or onion oil as part of its ingredients. :{
And, do feedback to me if you know of any vegetarian eatery around Balestier Road as I may have to travel to there occasionally.
Thank you!!!
