蔬升 Ascend Vegetarian (Esplanade Xchange)

Very nice and unique vegetarian place, I tabao as I over ordered. It is a mala style for choice of food and addition of soup/dry. Cost goes by weight, recommend to try.

First time trying Ascend’s vegetarian mala! I have my days where I go meatless and today was one of those, there were many varieties of beancurd, mushrooms, fresh vegetables, mock meat and quite a range of noodles too (I got buckwheat!)
