Breakfast At MTR

MTR Restaurant is a place that we always like to go back to from time to time. Our favorite remains their Masala Dosa. We, however, try to sample their other dishes to. This time we tried their Maddur Vada, which was also delicious.

Life Kitchen -Chicago, Lunch

It was Friday in Chicago and we stayed away form eating meat. .... It's lunch time and we headed back to Lyfe Kitchen, because that's the only nearby place than we could think of that offers healthy vegetarian food. 

Here we were and we had:

Fish Tacos, with grilled mahi mahi

Veggie Burger

Quinoa crunch bowl

Simple greens

Putien, VivoCity Lunch

Now, there were four of us. Holiday was over for some. We wanted to go to VivoCity for some clothes shopping, but first, lunch. Putien was the chosen one and that's where we went. We tried a couple of new dishes and meatless rice noodles. We also ordered our favorite green drinks.

PS Cafe Petit Dinner

This was about three weeks ago, before Miss K returned to Berkeley. Summer holiday went by so fast and it's time for her to go back to California before classes start. She needed to move in to her new apartment and get everything she could use. It was a very busy Summer for her. 

PS Cafe is located very close to our place and they have reasonably good food. Just the three of us. DH's pick is never far from pasta and seafood, and if a restaurant have both of them one dish, he would select it. It's way too easy to guess. His dish is called Shrimp, Crab and Crumb. It is spicy spaghettini with sugar snaps, spinach, crab meat, shrimp and garlic crumbs. The size suits well for people with big appetite. I had a little bit of it and I thought it was a good one.

Miss K chose Panini Slim, called Truffle Cheese Mushroom. The name is very descriptive of what's inside the grilled sandwich.

Finally for me, I had Vegetarian Moussaka. I tend to try something new or something that I rarely or do not make at all at home. This dish seems to have good reviews online and I was curious to try. I actually am not a fan of pumpkin and pumpkin is one of the ingredients listed, aside from capsicum, celeriac, spinach, mozzarella and smokey tomato jam. Looking at the items that make the dish, I should have known that it is on the sweet side, which doe not suit my preference too well. The size was a bit too big for me as well. 

MTR Vegetarian Restaurant

It was our second time to MTR Vegetarian Restaurant in Serangoon Rd,. Little India. The four of us were ready to have our Indian feast. We had to order prior to getting our table. This sent us to a panic mode for a bit, because we're not familiar with Indian dishes other than so few that we already know. 

We had our heart set on Masala Dosa and we ordered two of them. 

We also ordered Pudi Masala Dosa (below).

Poori

Chapathi

Plain Masala.

Veggie Lunch

It's not quite a gado-gado but it was derived from there. Peanut sauce really makes everything better, including vegetables. I put together some blanched veggies and some fresh ones and poured some spicy homemade peanut sauce on top. Delicious lunch was served. 

Vegetarian Stuffed Mushroom

We normally make meat filling for our Stuffed Portobello mushroom. But this time, as someone is staying away from meat, we revised the version to vegetarian. For the stuffing I used chopped onion, garlic, carrot, thyme and ricotta cheese.

Buckwheat Soba Dinner

I have become a buckwheat soba recently and have sort of created my own healthy recipe involving soba and selected vegetables that I love. It's vegetarian, there's no meat involved here. I used tofu, red capsicum, onion, carrots and spinach. A little bit of salt and pepper for seasoning and the meal was ready in almost no time.
