Bee Hoon

Bee Hoon is a rice noodle dish that is quite popular in Singapore. Its vegetarian version is made with tofu, mushrooms and various vegetables.

In some exclusively vegetarian establishments, you can find variations that include vegetable proteins derived from soy and flour.

Although this dish is traditionally stir-fried with sauces, you can also enjoy it as a broth soup.

Popiah

A typical appetizer, the vegetarian version of popiah is a thin pancake wrapped around a filling of vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, and cabbage.
