Unclaimed

Food here is not bad at all, environment is nice too! Air-conditioned and clean, with exclusive vegetarian menu each day on alternative weeks. I like the mixed vegetables stall. Great variety and taste. Tried the truffle spaghetti from western..i felt that the noodles are overcooked and lacked salt. But it smell good. Maybe should have tried the mock fish soup~ Will return to try their other dishes! Oh and the hot kopi is gooood!! Must order

Lian Xin Vegetarian Food Court is a hidden gem located beneath the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. It offers a wide variety of food and drinks, all vegetarian and packed with flavor. The taste is genuinely impressive — even non-vegetarians will enjoy the dishes here. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for a wholesome meal in the heart of Chinatown. However, the tables could be cleaned more regularly to keep up with the otherwise pleasant dining environment.

Visited the place on a Sunday afternoon. Nested in the basement of Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, my initial assumption was that it should be a small quaint little eatery with a few visitors. Was I wrong totally! This place was huge and crowded with people! Plenty of food options available too! Queue was fast during ordering and payment, and the staff were helpful. Place was clean and cooling on a hot afternoon. $4.20 for a plate of rice with 3 side dishes. Typical food court pricing. Taste was acceptable. They offered free plain water too. A good and comfy place for a meal. Too bad it closes at 5pm.

Located in the basement of the Buddha Tooth temple, make your way down and be surprised by the bustling energy. Very efficient and professional operationally (they even have a queue for digital payment). Nice variety of vegetarian food, including pastries and breads to try. All reasonably priced.

First Visit to the Temple Cafeteria – A Pleasant Surprise! This afternoon, I visited the vegetarian cafeteria at the temple for lunch—it was my first time there, and I was genuinely impressed! The place had a calm, welcoming vibe, and the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. I ordered their Lor Mee, and for just $4.20, the portion was generous and satisfying. Highly recommended if you’re nearby the temple—definitely worth a visit for a tasty, affordable vegetarian meal. I’ll be going back again soon—especially since the Western food stall wasn’t open today. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time!
