Vegetarian bee hoon from Holland Drive Market

Zhen Ji Vegetarian, Holland Drive Food Centre
This was Chinese vegetarian bee hoon down at Zhen Ji Vegetarian in Holland Drive Food Centre (44 Holland Drive, #02-26, Holland Drive Food Centre, S120044) which I came across some years ago. Some of the toppings on the bee hoon are made in short order, notably, the crispy mock duck made of dried bean curd sheets which were hot and crispy. Those cabbages included were tender and not soggy. I wonder if the store has ever adjusted for inflation and the increasing cost of food ingredients in the recent times. For $2, it certainly made a cheap and tasty breakfast.

There's a really delish one at Clementi Central. It's my fav, at $2 too if they hadn't up the price. Tiong Bahru & Ghim Moh market have 2 stalls which serve really good ones too.

And I hardly even fantasize about vegetarian noodles.

For a carnivore like myself, I do too sometimes crave the occasional vegetarian bee hoon, especially with heaps of the crispy oily stuff. The fact that it has probably more calories than the real thing is makes up for the fact that it isn't haha!

@ all
This stuff is pretty good. I remember eating them as a kid with my parents down in Tiong Bahru market. Along with other assorted stores along the way as I grew up.

I'm generally not into Chinese vegetarian as you can see from the vegetarian tag in this blog. It's mostly Indian for me, but this is one of those that I do like. I actually prefer those curly noodles to bee hoon, but they only had been hoon here so....

@nic
your ex-canteen worker?
