Amoy Street Food Centre 1st floor - Healthy Vegetarian Food

On Thursday, I went for a morning yoga and finally got to explore Amoy Street food centre in all its glory - lunch time on a weekday.

1st stop: Healthy Vegetarian Food

 This stall has a steady stream of customers mostly nearby office peeps during lunch time. I was very impressed by auntie, who single handedly manned the store whipped up various dishes ordered.








For a tiny stall, it offers around 14 different rice and noodle dishes plus an assortment of vegetables to go with plain rice. I decided to go with Lor Mee.

Lor  Mee $2.30

Ooooooookay! Blogger decided to unrotate my photo, so my apologies for a horizontal Lor Mee. I didn't pick a winner from the 14 choices. I might had picked the worst of the 14. It was too salty for me and the gravy taste more like starchy dark sauce than lor mee. The ingredients were crispy taukee, mock duck meat and a sprinkling of beansprouts. Far too little variety and poor quality to justify a good Lor mee as well.


The salt level was waaay too much for me (but to be fair I had been eating saltless for almost a week) so I had to leave it after picking at  the taukee and beansprouts.

What I adore though, were the snacks that are also available there. I had a curry puff and I'm glad to say it was fairly shiok. 

Good Ole plain Potate curry puff  - $0.80

No onions and garlic were present. The filling was just good old potatoes with curry. I like how creamy the texture is and the uncomplicated taste of curried potatoes. I find it just salty enough and the curry puff pastry not oily (as compared to other puffs) either. It satiated my craving for curry puffs and it made up for the lor mee.

I must say I love people with a sense of humour. Despite being in the midst of rotating 360 degrees serving up orders for the lunchtime horde, auntie cheerfully replied my questions on her opening hours and reminded me that she do take the unofficial leave once in a while.
