Green Dot - Paya Lebar

For the price and quality of food, one should check out xuan miao in paya lebar square food court instead. I had been a strong supporter of greendot in the past. However I reaslised that they value profits over customer service. From a menu with good vegan choices, they modified the menu and vegans are left with little choice. On top of that, i am disappointed that they do not justify the huge price increase overnight. Some dishes eg the noodles dishes jumped from $5.90 to $8.90 .

I go to this Green Dot quite a bit. It's fast has ample seating and isn't super expensive. Between the Bento choices and the soups, there is enough that you won't get tired of it for a while and whoever you go with will surely be able to find something. Some personal favorites are the laksa and the kaffir lime curry.

Even if it's a little out of the way, it's worth stopping by.

Like this place. Food is fresh and friendly to the palate. The cooked meals come with some sort of salad (noodle with raw sledded carrots, cucumbers ...), so it is kind of a more balanced. It is right at Exit B of paya lebar train station, in the shopping mall. Really convenience. But place seems very popular, kind of full house during weekend lunch. So may be it is best to make a reservation. "Outdoor" seats seems very popular, but friend said, could be a bit warm in the day time. Price is generally more expensive than the hawker fair, but way cheaper than in North America.

my friend, knowing i'm vegetarian, suggested this place for dinner, as she enjoys the laksa here.

i was surprised to find this branch so popular. at around 7 pm on a wednesday night, both the inner and outer dining areas were nearly packed - and it wasn't the 1st or 15th of the lunar month, when many omnivores turn herbivores for the day.

having previously tried the laksa and rendang at the westmall branch, but still wanting something local, i opted for the mushroom pot with laksa base. at sgd8.90, it costs more than standalone laksa (sgd5.90), but packs much more into a bowl, with a variety of mushrooms, tau kee, vegetables, etc. together with brown rice, it made for a very satisfying meal.

I really like the customized bento set offered here at $7.90, which consists of rice (brown rice available) and three dishes. I like to go for the stir-fry veggies and signature mushroom dishes. It also comes with a small bowl of soup with carrot chunks in it. The dishes feel clean probably because there is no added MSG. You can also pick the cereal konnyaku, which resembles the cereal prawn dish commonly eaten at Chinese restaurants (but cruelty-free, hell yeah).
