Being old school Singaporeans, we like our breakfasts heavy and satisfying enough to get us through the morning.
Bee hoon is one of our favourite options, mainly because you can often find it at economic bee hoon stalls, where you can stave away your hunger pangs for a mere $2.90 in the typically overpriced CBD area.
Fat Chub, being an early riser, sometimes does a little exploring before she starts her day in the office. This morning, she found herself at Hong Lim Food Centre, craving chinese vegetarian bee hoon with their typical mock meats and oil fried bean curd skin, which is really supposed to be mock goose meat.
She found her fix at a place called Xiu Fa Vegetarian Cooked Food at level 2 of the food centre. The word “佛”, meaning “Buddha” is also displayed prominently on the signboard, which we take to indicate that this stall is suitable for Buddhists, meaning that garlic is not used in their food preparation.
There was a pleasant variety of dishes to choose from, ranging from your leafy greens to deep fried bean curd skin.
Fat Chub opted for mixed bee hoon, with curry sauce for an extra kick. The stall owner was generous with the serving and Fat Chub took away the following for only $2.50. The mock meats were tasty, but the fried mock goose was the real kick, and deliciously crispy. The curry was also rich and spicy and made a very good start to Fat Chub’s day.
Apparently, if you are not into bee hoon, the stall also offers the option of brown rice as a base. It was a tasty and economical meal, and Fat Chub is sure to be back for more. If you are also keen to try this, make your way to Stall Xiu Fa Vegetarian, #02-02.
