Beyond Veggie Restaurant is located at Bukit Timah area, and is another new concept dining restaurant by the well-known Secret Recipe. They hope to serve delicious, healthy vegetarian fare that caters to different diners' preferences, and are priced very reasonably.Mushroom Satay (SGD$7.90) was simply that - no fuss, no muss, but it was very good to the palate, with its crispy exterior, firm and springy interior, as well as sapid flavour. The gravy was good, but I finished most of the battered-mushrooms satay on its own (sans gravy) because it was that good.The Assam "Fish" was very tasty as well - strong, distinctive flavours of spicy-and-sour assam were all intact; the gravy had the right level of thickness as well. The highlight was the mock fish, of course. Instead of the usual flour filet - the usual case in alot of vegetarian fare - they use beancurd skin here. The result was a crunchy, springy and tasty slab of "fish" that easily makes one forget that it wasn't exactly the real deal.The Fortune Yam Basket (SGD$18.90), a popular dish at Chinese restaurants, has made its way into the menu here as well. Save for the absence of shrimps, this dish was able to hold a candle to the non-veg version - mashed yam ring was crumbly and indulgent yet non-greasy; and the rest of the diced ingredients added bite and crunch to the dish.Following that, another favorite of mine - Stir-fry Lion's Mane Mushrooms (SGD$15.90). Don't be fooled by the simple name - this dish packed punch, being a simulation of salted egg prawns. The chunky mushrooms were bouncy; the infusion of this special "salted egg yolk" sauce and curry leaf added tinges of aroma that left a rather deep impression because of its flavour.I also enjoyed the Ube Yam Cake, also known as "purple yam". It is incredibly pretty, almost fluffy in appearance; light and fluffy in texture - and most amazing of all, it contained tiny cubes of yam within the layers, adding bite and taste to this cake!The Azuki Green Tea Cake had a fine, chiffony texture to it despite the glazed top; it is redolent in green tea flavour but one could detect hints of red beans between bites as well; making it another great dessert for lovers of Japanese desserts.For full review and more detailed information, please feel free to visit:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2015/07/media-invite-dinner-at-beyond-veggie.html…Read More
