A meatless dinner with BB at Green Bliss Habitat, which does plant-based versions of Asian noodle classics: stir-fried laksa ($4.50), herbal noodles ($4.50) and a sour plum drink ($2.50), $11.50 in all. π
What we had:
- Stir-fried laksa: dry bee hoon tossed in laksa flavours, topped with mock char siew strips and crispy bits
- Herbal noodles: noodles in a herbal broth with greens, goji berries, mock meat, carrot and fried shallots
- A sour plum drink
The stir-fried laksa was the interesting one. Instead of the usual coconut-curry soup, the laksa flavour is cooked dry into the bee hoon, so you get that fragrant, spiced lemongrass-and-chilli taste clinging to every strand, more concentrated and savoury, with springy mock char siew strips on top. A clever, lighter take on laksa.
The herbal noodles were the comforting bowl: noodles in a fragrant Chinese herbal broth, gently medicinal-sweet and warming, dotted with goji berries, tender greens and bits of mock meat. The kind of soup that feels nourishing and restorative.
To finish, the sour plum drink was the perfect foil, that classic tart-sweet, slightly savoury suan mei flavour cutting cleanly through the meal.
A tasty, wholesome vegetarian spread that doesnβt feel like youβre missing out, and lovely value at $11.50 for two dishes and a drink.
Overall: 4.5 / 5. πππΌ A clever dry stir-fried laksa and a nourishing herbal noodle soup, satisfying meatless cooking. Would re-visit.
