Asked to veganise the mee hun kueh dish on account of the mani cai and so had to swap the mee hun kueh (which contains egg) for white bee hoon instead, and also omit the egg. I got a mountain of bee hoon and very little more

xinru-t Coco Veggie Nyonya and Makan Vegan have mani cai and tofu 'egg' stir fries!Reply
lowlaichow Haha thanks! I miss cooking my own mani though - I can eat these by the truckloadsReply
xinru-t It's hard to find it in supermarkets! I recently saw it in a Sheng Siong in Tampines, but I literally grabbed the last packet 😂 1 likeReply
lowlaichow I would have grabbed that too! I recently found mani cai at Thai Supermart and was quite thrilled until I cooked it - Thai-grown mani tastes very light and mild in comparison - I love the Malaysia-grown ones, tougher and more flavourful. Reply

Kid clamoured for this and was so disappointing to wait 20 minutes for it to arrive and to find it so underwhelmingly meh. It tasted like mock soy chicken, which is another taste I really do not like. So this didn't pass more

Check out my (one and only) prized #vegan travel haul back from Bangkok to Singapore - so painfully minimalistic that I didn't want to carry anything extra with me. The kid and I enjoyed it as a snack when we were rained more

Palatable and tasted just like I recall it from my childhood years, though I would prefer the no-sugar version. #sgvegan

Bright flavours, though a bit light - I paired this in a #DIY mix with ginseng tea and it was overpowered by the latter 😅

Asked if egg could be omitted, pleasantly surprised it was possible especially on this busy Sunday afternoon. Got this from the always-popular Hokkien Mee stall which always has a queue. Kid at first judged its appearance more

So-so rendition of this traditional Chinese dessert of sweet mung bean soup, topped with youtiao (fried dough) slices. Average, not awful. #dessert #sgvegan

First time trying strawberries from Egypt - followed my nose and bought a box. Not as sweet as Korean strawberries, but sweet enough. #eatfresh #fruit

Feels and smells wonderfully... fruity? Caesaipinia spinosa fruit extract IS listed as the eighth ingredient in this product. Runs so smoothly like velvet on skin, I could almost imagine it is my skin that is velvety (I'm more
