After seeing Burppler @blueskiescottonclouds post about O'bean Organic Soya Vegetarian Place, I decided to take my parents there for dinner after convincing them it's a healthier alternative to our usual "zi char".
Here are the dishes shared among the three of us:
1) Sambal Four Heavenly Bean Claypot ($13.80+) - My dad and I liked this the most because it's just like what you'd get at typical "zi char" places except that the sambal is not as umami as it doesn't have dried shrimp.
2) Seaweed Century Egg Fried Egg ($15.80+) - The taste of the century egg was subtle as there wasn't a lot of it but overall, it's still decent especially if you dip it in the chilli sauce.
3) Dumpling Soya Soup ($11.80+) - My dad wasn't into this at all but mum was. Basically, it tastes like a slightly diluted soya bean milk with a subtle savoury slant. There are about half a dozen large, silky-skin dumplings, corn on cob and vegetables in there so it's suitable as a light meal for one person too.
4) Muttonless Curry Vegetable Claypot ($16.80+) - I enjoyed the chunky pieces of mock mutton (there's a succulent crunchiness in the stringy texture) and generous amount of cabbage and long beans. The curry itself is very thick - not exactly slurp-able in my opinion.

Verdict: I doubt vegetarian meals will ever be a regular event for us but this detour was a pleasant change. We did leave with takeaway cups of their warm organic soya milk with pearls which were very good.
