A few years ago I had the great displeasure of working in Changi Business Park, in probably the most unpleasant job I've had in my life. Therefore, after all this time, heading back to Expo did give me somewhat haunting memories of the past. Expo has changed incredibly in that time, with it now attracting the casual public to the area, mainly due to the new Changi City Point Mall. Expo is probably my most under-reviewed location in Singapore, because I know there are
a lot of vegetarian eateries hidden in this area (due to the high amount of Indian workers). I will do my best to review those also in the future.

The ready dishes on offer at this stall were quite diverse during the lunch period. Also be warned, this food court turns into a mad house during the conventional 12pm-1pm timing. There are also other dishes that can be ordered upon request. However, the prices were unjustifiably high, so I stayed away from them.
After much deliberation, I decided to merely go with the conventional
Brown Rice and Dishes. Overall, I was actually quite impressed with the flavour of the dishes. The long beans had a nice crunchy texture, and a suitable aroma. The potatoes were neither too spicy or salty, and cooked well. The sweet and sour mock meat tasted fine, but I found the mock meat itself was a little too tough. The meal also comes with a herbal soup, which matched the food nicely. The brown rice texture was fine, but a lot of white rice was mixed into it. Personally, if I order brown rice, I always get a little irritated when it consists of 70% white rice.
Price: $3.50. 7/10
Conclusion - Those that are in the Expo area and are looking for a quick vegetarian fix, then this stall will definitely do the job. However, Expo offers a diversity of other excellent vegetarian options (especially for those who can take dairy), in the future I will do my best to explore the other vegetarian options in this area.

If you do not mind, can you not use green when writing because it is hard to see the words.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and the food looks delicious! (:
Hey anonymous,
DeleteVery sorry for that. It looks fine on my computer, but I guess the resolution on other computer screens differs. Let me change to a darker colour in the future! :)

hahaa...i always frequent this stall whenever im eating at this foodcourt! although the price can be a little little steep, but nevertheless it's pretty decent, unlike the "usual vegetarian stall" in some places. =)
ReplyDeletePS: most of the vegetarian stalls around Expo were Indian vegetarian food. perhaps you could try the foodcourt at Plaza 8. there's a chinese vegetarian stall...price is cheaper as compared to the above and food is not bad too! ^^
Hey Ashley,
DeleteI agree with you, the food from this stall was definitely above average.
I am not sure if I have been to the Plaza 8 stall before or not. I remember there was a few stalls that I used to frequent when I was working in that area, but don't remember the exact locations.
And you're right, there is Indian food galore in Expo!
Thanks for the comment!
