Vegetarian / Vegan

Tried something new during our most recent visit to Green on Earth, the Ten Herbal Soup was one of the daily specials. It was strong of herbal notes though a touch sweeter than I would have liked. Would be nice to more a little more variety of ingredients other than mock meat chunks.

Was deciding on a vegetarian spot in Fortune Centre and settled at Pine Tree Cafe. Was a tasty and affordably priced bowl that came with mushrooms, mock meat balls, a generous portion of vegetables and a bowl of flavourful herbal soup. Not too much a fan of the fiery chilli as it overpowered the other flavours, but the mee kia was done well with a good bite. Saw that they have ma la xiang guo, yong tau foo and abacus seeds. Will be back to try those next time!

Tracy’s Special Udon has udon in a mushroom broth topped with mock meat, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and broccoli! Might seem a bit pricey, but their thick broth is made generously with lots of mushrooms. Think I expected it to be more savoury but it had a nice tang of which I think are from tomatoes. It was well balanced and kept the overall bowl easy to have without being jelak. Portion was filling!

They are open till evening but when we were there for late lunch around 3ish, most dishes were already sold out - wanted to try their Lei Cha too but that’s only available on the 1st and 15th days of the lunar month. Probably good to pop by earlier if you want to catch more items!

Heard a lot about Thunder Tree’s thunder tea rice and finally popped by. Other than rice, you can opt for this springy kolo mee as your carbs. If you’re not a fan of lei cha, they have other toppings to go along with like truffle, mushroom and wanton. Loved the lightly savoury noodles here that were cooked just right! It came in a pretty big portion with different fresh toppings, but my only gripe was it could have a greater variation in texture. It’s still a very nice bowl that I’ll come back for!

Grabbed 1 for 1 burger sets for lunch today from The Goodburger food truck! Had their Black Tie burger that came with a juicy impossible patty, cheese, truffle aioli & rocket. Had this a while back and it’s still as good, lots of flavour packed in it without being overwhelming. Fries could do with more truffle but they were nicely crisp. There’s a 50 cents charge for takeaways, but they have a few tables for dine in as well.

Only ever had thunder tea rice once many many years back. It was so long ago that I don’t even remember liking it or not 😂 That changed recently after trying out Living Wholesome’s! Love theirs - it’s a bit pricier, but it comes default with brown rice and a full variety of vegetarian toppings (chye poh, beancurd, wing beans, long beans, etc.). It’s fragrant, clean and not at all oily. You can top up a dollar to upgrade to a bigger portion, but the default’s already very substantial. There’s also bee hoon as an alternative.

They offer delivery now as well, with free deliveries within 1km or up to $9 islandwide, without minimum orders.

Crunchy mushrooms coated with butter cream! They used curry leaves and chilli padi in here which added to the fragrance and heat. Would have liked the sauce less sweet.

Since we always get mlxg, we usually won’t get anything else that’s mala. This was our first time trying this 😂 Pretty good! It’s not super spicy as we expected, but the lingering heat was quite addictive. Rice was fried well too.

Hor fun was as good as we had last time! Wok hei’s there and the gravy was flavourful. Came with a good amount of various vegetables.

One of my family’s favourite dish to have in-house, but it didn’t seem to work as well as a takeaway this time, as the gravy got absorbed pretty quickly. Was a big portion though!

Thankful that Green on Earth is nearby, so we can easily pop by for takeaways! Most of their menu is still available, but they’ve changed their operating hours to 10am to 9pm for this Circuit Breaker period. They are available on GrabFood but they also do deliveries themselves. You can contact 67692230 or 97730869 to place your orders.

Looks a little messy because we dabao-ed! Other than the Kolo Mee with Sesame Oil ($4.90), the second combi we went for was ramen + mala sauce. Likewise, the noodles had a pretty good bite, but I’d go back for the kolo mee for it was springier! The level of spice here is default, and it came with a nice heat. It was nicely savoury and not too salty. Fishballs were a little bland, might be better if it was swapped with something else.
