The other vegetarian meal at Po Lin Monastery's

Po Lin Monastery, food

The last time we were here at Po Lin Monastery Vegetarian Restaurant, we had bought the tickets for the deluxe vegetarian meal. This time round, it wasn't available for some reasons so we tried the regular vegetarian meal instead.

Po Lin Monastery, soup

I liked this soup better than the one we were served the last time. The flavour was oddly very similar to sweet potatoes with a hint of dried mandarin peel and there were some hairy gourd in it. Along with a side of reflection from the fluorescent lights from the ceiling.

Po Lin Monastery, tofu

Their tofu with preserved olive and green peas was delicious. The flavour from the tofu itself was outstanding. My favourite dish from this meal.

Po Lin Monastery, pressed tofu capsicum

There was stir fried capsicums, celery and more pressed bean curd things. Not too shabby.

Po Lin Monastery, deep fried spring rolls

My second favourite item was their deep fried spring rolls. I had some reservations initially because they were deep fried and I'm not exactly a big fan of deep fried spring rolls. After having them, I came to the conclusion that they were well stuffed and the fried batter was pretty tasty. Well worth the grease that went into them.

Po Lin Monastery, vegetables mushroom

Some obligatory leafy stir fried vegetables with mushrooms were part of the menu as well. Never been much of a fan for these Chinese mushrooms.
