Affordable Organic Eatery - at last!


We do have bad days. You know the kind of day where everyone wakes up grouchy, anything that can go wrong does, anything that can be broken, spilled or lost does exactly that, the laundry pile towers over us and the sink is so full of dirty dishes that nothing else can go in?

On those kinds of days, we eat out.

It used to be a tussle between expensive but healthy food (Cedele, SaladStop, Real Food) or cheap but unhealthy, MSG-filled hawker food.

We've finally found a vegetarian hawker stall that serves organic food! They serve brown rice, veggies, curry, tau kwa and egg. They use sea salt instead of cheap lab-manufactured table salt that most cookeries use, brown sugar instead of white, and grapeseed/olive/rice bran oil. (Many places use Canola oil which is NOT healthy at all despite the "Healthier choice" labels. Canola oil is genetically modified from the industrial, toxic Rapeseed oil and stands for "Canada Oil, Low Acid.")

And it's all organic, non-GMO and MSG-free. And it doesn't burn a whole in your pocket.

The food feels and tastes clean and doesn't leave you feeling thirsty or oily. It's basically like eating home-cooked food. The curry is mild and the kids like it. The rojak is nice too, and they use cashew nuts instead of peanuts.

It's not crowded so there are always plenty of seats. The only thing is that it is not air-conditioned, and you can hear the ambient sounds of buses pulling into the interchange. Not the most romantic or conducive place for long, relaxing meals. But then again, with young kids in tow, that's not really what we expect for now!
