Good food

At HDB area so it"s more accessible. Top staff service, slight variation from the Novena outlet. Worth visiting the place. Lotus doesnt disappoint.

Pros: No need to go to Novena all the time

Dinning Experience

Value of food is not there, food image is totally off from the real thing. Yes food images had stated "for illustration proposes" but it really too far off from real.

Pros: Clean environment , Politeness of serving staff

Cons: No Nasi Lemak and Chicken Rice on PH, Food value feel the same as Vege stall

Pros: Quick service

Cons: Limited items, Noodles aren't fried

For those without, may be customisable hence do check with the staff. My top favourite from each category are Spicy Miso Ramen (comfortable soupy foodie & I likey the thick broth), Iced Oat Cappuccino (the coffee is so good that I finished it in no time- awesome coffee fix before I OT later the night), and Taiwanese chewy sweet potato balls (reminded me of TW 🥰)

Good ambience with quality food

Tugged inside Rivercourt, it carries quality food like its main outlet, with some differ menu.

Mala cheese baked potato wedges was good. Do ask them to add more cheese as bottom layer comes without it. Contain dairy though. Good to be shared among 2 paxs.

Vegan mock beef ramen soup was tasty too. And a must order is the steam truffle dumpling.

I find the cheese baked curry rice a bit dry. Small portion.

The signature truffle mushroom soup was so so. Elemen's taste better.

Spicy miso ramen had a strong egg taste although I had removed the egg before eating the rest.

Iced choc drink comes in 1/2 cup!!! So expensive!!!

We waited for 30 mins for our dishes to be served although dumpling was served 10 mins upon order. Needs improvement

Modern Chinese Vegetarian Cafe

Newly opened allium-free vegetarian cafe in May 2022, by the same group that runs Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant at Royal Square Novena. The decor is beautiful and it seems rather popular (lots of families enjoying meals together and a constant queue outside), so I would recommend making a reservation beforehand.

Apart from a selection of handcrafted dim sum that they are known for at Novena, the other items in the menu are mostly different. They have recently updated the menu with photographs of their signature dishes too! Items with egg and dairy are clearly labelled. (Do note some slight discrepancies from the old menu: Pan-Fried King Oyster Mushroom Bun is now labelled as containing dairy, and Salmoniee Mayo Mustard Croissant is now labelled as containing egg and dairy.)

Ordered a spread of vegan dishes. Pretty impressed with the taste of all the items I ordered! My top picks would be the Jumbo Chilli "Crab" Mantou with Happiee Fishiee Pattiee, Taiwanese Porridge Set, and Sichuan Spicy Wontons in Chili Oil. There is also a small display case of pastries, which contain egg and/or dairy for now. Looking forward to more vegan desserts in the near future!

Today Saturday visited again. I order Taiwanese Porridge Set 台式地瓜粥套歺, my wife order Cheesy Avocado Sourdough Toast with Sautéed Lion Mane Mushroom with Scrambled Eggs 芝士牛油果 烤酵母吐司,半香煎猴菇,炒蛋套歺

The taste still maintain similar standard which we visited the previous few times since the cafe opening.

Nice little cafe

Call to book before coming down on weekends. Their King Oyster Mushroom Cutlet X.O. Fried Rice was nice, but too much flour used for the cutlet. Could have a bit more wok hei for their food though.

Pros: Nice atmosphere

Cons: Service on the slow side., May need to queue for table on weekends.

Delish Vegetarian Food with nice cafe décor!

Delish Vegetarian Food! High standard.

And simple beautiful interior décor, which remind me of those beautiful unique Korean Cafe Vibe.

Ordered the Curry Ramen, love everything - ingredients (mock fish, mock fish cake, eggplant, tofu puff, lady finger), ramen and the broth.

Plenty of choice with some quite rare, will come again...
