Vegetarian Meals - At a Budget

He sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and, from the spathes of the date-palm, date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There are signs in that for people who believe.

Hello my lovelies,

Today I had been really busy with prepping up my son for his exam. I was just too lazy to cook. Since, I needed to get some question papers for my son to do at a store in Little India, I decided to have a good meal. I usually or mostly try to eat vegetarian when I am out. Of all the vegetarian food restaurants in that area, Komala Vilas or Komalas are quite popular. Back in those days, when I was a kid, we used to visit Madras New Woodlands Veg Restaurant.

This is located at 14 Upper Dickson Road. Heard they opened a new branch which offers buffet at Cuff Road at an affordable price. Will have to check that out soon.

The reason why I prefer this restaurant is that I get a homely touch and care in the food compared to what I am served at KV (Komala Vilas). I ordered a South Indian set meal. I just loved it.

From Left to right : Buttermilk, onion raita, jau jau veggie, cabbage fry, mint chutney, vermicelli payasam, rasam, sambhar, vatha kolumbu, potato-cauliflower fry, pappadum and rice. They also had this pickled dried chilli that goes well with the buttermilk. It was a feast. Of course, nothing compares to vegetarian meals from India, but this will do for now.                            

The items in the menu may differ each day. It costs merely 6.90 sgd compared to the 8.80 sgd at KV. It also tastes like home cooked food. For a budget price and good taste, I am glad that I had vegetarian today as I feel light and not bloated. They also provide dosa, pongal, naan, pizza etc and it tastes equally good.

To control what we eat, we really had to keep our appetite in control. Maybe tomorrow, lets control our food intake by creating a salad to eat. I have the major items that are required, if they are unavailable, you may mix or adjust with whichever food item that you want or like. I will write again soon, till then give me your support and keep on reading my blog.

Best regards
