Vegetarian Porridge. There was one day where the temple offers porridge, and I went and queue up thought of giving it a try. The porridge was a big bowl and topped with some deep fried beehoon. This deep fried beehoon gave the liquid porridge a crunchy texture. The porridge was thick and has many ingredients. Although it was vegetarian but the taste was delicious.

Back in the past, I am the person who will not eat celery or drink the juice. But recently, I have no idea why but celery became one of my favour vegetables from economy rice stall. Celery is one of the nutritional vege that doctor recommended to everyone. It lowers the blood pressure naturally and contains high level of calcium, magnesium etc. Taste wise, this stir-fried celery is not salty, just nice and the celery is not hard but chewy.

Stir-fried mixed vegetables with potatoes. It looks like it was cooked with curry base but no, it was stir-fried with some black sauce (I have no idea). Not spicy at all. The potatoes were soft and nice. Carrots weren't hard as well. Black fungus gave the extra textures to the whole dish. Best to eat with rice. Slightly salty. Something worth trying if you like potatoes and black fungus.

I LOVE SI CHUAN SPICY TOFU. This one is in pure vegetarian style, no minced pork meat is found from this dish. Really yummy to eat with rice. They prepare the sauce and everything form scratch and that even it is pure vegetarian, it tasted like the usual one with pork. It is a bit oily and salty. Not really spicy. Still up to the standard of how a ma po tofu should be. Overall ok.

Recommended by my colleague to try this out. Stir-fried eggplant or brinjal we called it. Yes, all food selling in Po Ling Chinese Temple are vegetarian, you need not worry about it. This dish is something that needs skill to cook, brinjal is soft in nature and that the chef has to pre fry it before adding whatever seasoning. This dish seems oily but still ok. Slightly salty. Best to eat with rice.

Went to Po Ling Chinese Temple for a lunch. Took this stir- fried melon ( I am not sure the exact name of the melon). Taste wise, this melon is soft ( to my surprise because normally it will be little hard). They didn't remove the seed of the melon but the seeds are edible I supposed. It was stir-fried with black fungus, carrots etc Quite nice to eat alone or best to eat with rice.

Pan Mee is one of the food that you can find almost everywhere in Malaysia. Tried this vegetarian mushroom pan mee in Po Ling Chinese Temple. Portion came in average size. Taste wise the soup is more like a mushroom smell, not a thick soup after all, very refresh and light that you can drink it non stop. Not salty, just nice. The handmade noodles (pan mee) are very flexible.

Vegetarian Pickled Vegetable with TumericAnother type of vegetarian pau that you can choose from would be the pickled vegetable in turmeric. The flour of the pau itself is made with wheat that resembles wholemeal texture but on the softer tone. It is fluffy and soft, while encasing within some savory filling mixture of between some greens, minced mocked meat, turmeric and some ginger too, for I could taste some mild spiciness after that. Those who adore ginger a lots would love this pau I suppos

Tofu with vegetarian minced meat. That day it was the first day of the month in Chinese calendar, so the temple will serve food for free and we will donate to the temple. I took the bee hoon and the tofu with vegetarian minced meat. The tofu was small pieces and soft. The vegetarian minced meat was some crunchy texture which I like, it added some chewing texture to the soft tofu.

Tumeric Fried RiceSeems like there has been a new addition to the current food selection at the temple’s canteen. While thinking which dish to take, saw this bright and appealing selection that I haven’t seen before. Out of curiosity, I change my mind and got my white rice replaced with this yellowish fried rice. Later only I found out that it is made using turmeric as natural coloring to be fried together with some chopped long beans, carrots and some other sides too, It’s not too oily and have

Stuffed TofuIt is not a common sight to see such familiar fare in vegetarian that look so much alike, like its meaty counterpart. Apparently, the bean curd has been stuffed with some soft filling like minced tofu with some mushroom too, to make it as a mock yong tau foo I suppose. It is quite soft and savory, after having braised in dark and rich gravy that goes well with a plate of white rice.

PapayaAfter some hearty and healthy vegetarian meal at this homey temple again, usually I would complete it with some freshly cut fruits as dessert. But at times, I do enjoy it earlier before I start my lunch for better digestion I always love to buy the fruits from here for the portion is really generous. This similar papaya when sold at my office area is would have cost twice with a much reduced size. Moreover, this papaya sold here more often than not, is sweet and juicy too. Each bite is a

Stir-fried SpinachI always love vegetarian especially stir-fried greens. And whenever I see there is this dish of stir-fried spinach, am sure to add it to my meal. Nowadays, not many places are cooking up this leafy green for the hassle of cleaning and preparing it prior to cooking. Glad that I found it at the temple that serves pretty good vegan fare. It has quite a hard stem thus new lots chewing, and could be bit oily. This vegetables is good for health for it is rich with fibre and taste jus

Minced meat noodles. The noodles were a simple one and came together with vegetarian minced meat with mushrooms, shredded cabbages and vegetables. It came with a plate of sambal too. The soy sauce was not too bad, it gave the noodle some saltiness. The shredded cabbages added some crunchiness to the noodle. I would say that this was an average type of soy sauce noodle.

Fish ball noodle soup. The noodle soup came with vegetables, vegetarian fish, fu chuk, fish balls and minced vegetarian meat. The soup was clear but it was strong with essence of the ingredients, the saltiness was just nice. The ingredients were a lot too and I like the stuffed fu chuk especially. The vegetarian minced meat added some chewy texture to the noodles.
