beyond veggie @ taipan

i like vegetarian food , well i like vege in general, and i'm not so a fan of very meaty food, so i guess i could say i quite like vegetarian food. so i mean, i had to try this place, beyond veggie by secret recipe. i've heard mixed reviews about this place. yen's parents hate this place, some friends think its okay, and some likes the concept of the place. well i mean i liked the concept-the supposedly vegetarian cakes (without eggs) and food-but then again there were mostly cheesecakes which does not usually have eggs in them anyways. 

so this dish is called golden mushrooms-the sauce was really good i must say. it was very rich and flavourful but the mushrooms were a disappointment. a major disappointment i must say.they coat the mushroom with flour but with too much flour.as u can see, in the picture, the mushtoom is round,, and mushrooms aren't round in general. that's how much excess flour there was. however, i liked the use of curry leaves and cili padis in the sauce. i even accidentally bit into the cilipadi and immediately felt my throat burn up. 

i also ordered this specialty dish of theirs which is pumpkin tofu with yam. so its basically like pork with yam slices, in chinese they call it kou rou but in place of the pork is the pumpkin tofu. because i finished this whole dish by myself, i was super stuffed with the yam. the pumpkin tofu was really good and special. i liked both taste and texture. but i must say its a pretty pricey dish. 24 bucks for a few pieces of tofu and yam.even the pork version is not as exp as this. 

i also ordered a plate of mee sua to eat with the sauce. they flavoured the mee sua with olive oil. so you could literally slurp down the noodles just like that. 
 to finish the meal off, had this ricotta cheesecake. i didn't like the tiop layer of the cream, but the cheese for perfection. every bite was heaven. i'd go back for this cake, any day. 

i would say food is okay not too bad. its normal restaurant food, like manhatten or secret recipe itself. nothing to wow, except the cake.
