Remarks
All vegan Singaporean restaurant with fresh ingredients purchased Oakland's Chinatown. They have incredible sandwhiches (only on Fridays and Saturdays): the Tauhu Goreng sandwich on Fridays and the Shaobing sandwich on Saturdays. Sometimes when my annoying colleague starts to drone on about programming environment hygeine or magpie swooping season, I can tune him out by just thinking about how savory and flavorful these sandwiches are.
If you foolishly come on a non-sandwich day, the Three cup tofu and Jackfruit rendang are solid backups. Sadly, the noodles here are a little underwhelming but still pretty good, especially since it's impossible to find vegan Laksa anywhere else. A.S.S. cookies & Pandan butter nian gao are good dessert options.
Their daily specials are usually really good, although annoyingly, they are posted only on Instagram.
It's about $20 for a sandwich here.
Last sampled 5th October 2022.
