Lotus Vegetarian Lián Xīn Royal Square

I think this place looks elegant with its zen deco environment. the personal has always set 2 timings for lunch and dinner. each slot about 2 hours. so it is best to make reservations to avoid eating or not a table for among some of their staff are very friendly while some have the “not disturbing” attitude. so they go with less expectation from their service providers.

31/3/22 First attracted by the photo and now charmed by the taste!!! Very FISH !!! Goes so well with the Mala Broth Spiciness is just right, watch out for the hemp pepper!!! It will numb your tongue and lips!!! Luckily the Ice Blended Soursop calm down the numbness Updated from previous review on 2022-03-31

Enjoy the food here. Good service and the set lunch is extremely worth it!

I had a dinner gathering here with a group of veg and non-veg people. For starters, we had an assortment of appetisers. I can’t remember the actual name of it but we enjoyed the nutty sesame dressing that was drizzled over the sliced cucumber. Few of the mains we ordered were the Steam Veg Cod with Tree Seeds Grated Ginger, Claypot Mushroom with Basil Leaves, Mapo Tofu, Veggie Shark’s Fin Soup and the Homemade Satay. Highly recommend getting the Homemade Satay; a local favourite made plant-based using soy-based meat. The soy-based meat had a slightly crunchy exterior and soft, chewy insides, like authentic satay with a crunchy charred surface. We liked the peanut sauce (pretty much the dish's highlight) and ordered a second serving of this dish to enjoy. The ‘cod’ dish is Lotus’ interpretation of Teochew style fish. I ordered this out of curiosity, and also because I always enjoy the gingery flavour of the clear soup/gravy that came with this dish (Shu Vegetarian’s was delicious And for this dish, I say, give it a go! I can’t remember what’s the taste of the clay pot mushroom was like, but I vaguely remember my fellow diners commented that they love the peppery spiciness of the dish and the variety of mushrooms used. For the Mapo Tofu dish, it had a mild spicy heat to it, perfect for those who don’t eat spicy foods but still want to try something with spice. As for the Veggie Shark’s Fin Soup, it’s a 100% cruelty-free alternative to real shark’s fin soup. My fellow non-Chinese diners found this dish interesting as they haven’t tried any thick soups before, and after they tried this dish, they all became a fan of it. And yes, I did tell them to add black vinegar and white pepper to the soup to enhance the flavour (Note: with and without vinegar makes a whole lot of difference to thick soups

Tried their stir-fried laksa, Ee Fu noodles, crispy Hor Fun, Siew Mai dumplings, steamed bean curd roll, BBQ king oyster buns, BBQ meat buns, pan fried pumpkin taro cake, no doubt all are very delicious, the Ee Fu noodles is surprisingly fragrant, the stir-fried laksa is thick and flavourful, the crispy Hor Fun is delicious with lots of fresh veggies and mushroom inside. The BBQ king oyster bun is great, the BBQ meat buns taste like the real char siew bun, honestly their siew mai is better than Ling Zhi's siew mai, the steamed bean curd roll tastes like the home made ngoh hiang, the pan fried pumpkin taro cake is one of my favorite, super yummy, overall I'm very satisfied with their food, portion is generous too.
