Overshot
my
stop
at
Farrer
Park
and
ended
at
Boon
Keng.
Took
a
quick
Google
search
for
vegetarian
options
nearby
and
found
this
store!
Went
in
just
and
it
looks
likes
a
bustling
restaurant.
Being
socially
awkward,
I
had
eye
contact
with
one
of
the
counter
staff,
quickly
pointed
at
a
table
nearby
and
did
a
gesture
asking
if
I
can
sit
there.
Put
down
my
bag,
opened
the
menu
and
was
promptly
waited
upon.
Ordered
Mee
Goreng
since
I
wanted
something
spicy
and
green
apple
juice
to
soothe
that
spice.
The
server
was
kind
enough
to
explain
that
the
medium
portion
usually
serves
two
people,
but
I’m
hungry
so
I
ended
up
ordering
it
anyways.
I
was
wearing
ear
buds
and
totally
in
my
own
world,
but
felt
the
place
was
getting
crowded.
I
was
situated
in
a
command
position
so
the
crowd
wasn’t
that
stressful
for
me.
Sadly,
there
was
no
green
apple
juice
and
I
decided
to
get
Teh
O
instead
(since
I
barely
slept
last
night
and
am
going
to
exercise
a
bit
later).
The
drink
was
served
quite
promptly
after
and
I
really
like
the
big
portion
(honestly
the
tea
powder
cost
peanuts,
but
it’s
still
a
nice
gesture).
Love
the
small
spoon
that
came
along
with
it
so
I
can
slowly
slowly
sip.
I
noticed
a
single
diner
being
asked
to
share
a
table
with
another
diner
at
the
corner
in
the
meantime.
I
thought,
“hey,
it’s
getting
quite
crowded,
I
wonder
if
that
will
happen
to
me
too?
I
always
like
talking
to
new
people.”
Lo
and
behold,
it
did.
It
ended
up
being
a
couple
who
were
set
directly
in
front
of
me.
I
was
feeling
awkward
and
lost
my
command
position
so
I
just
awkwardly
avert
my
gaze
away
and
enjoy
the
music
blasting
in
my
ear
buds.
Nice
to
hear
bits
and
pieces
of
their
conversation
though.
It
was
then
one
of
the
server
dropped
by
and
told
the
couple
it
was
初一
(a
day
when
many
local
Chinese
ate
vegetarian,
esp
ppl
from
this
neighbourhood)
that
it
dawned
on
me
that
this
crowd
was
not
normal.
I
think
the
kitchen
thought
my
food
was
supposed
to
be
together
with
the
couple
so
it
came
together
with
them
fashionably
late.
Can’t
blame
the
busy
kitchen
and
the
time
it
took
the
food
to
came
gave
me
a
lot
more
time
to
cope
with
my
social
anxiety.
Still
too
anxious
to
engage
in
small
talk
to
the
couple
and
it
would
probably
be
weird
to
start
out
of
nowhere.
Then
again,
(not
really).
It’s
indeed
a
missed
opportunity
to
connect
with
new
people.
Attached
is
the
food
I
ordered.
Liked
it
enough.
Expected
larger
portions
since
the
server
mentioned
it’s
usually
meant
for
2-3
people.
I
would
say,
looking
at
the
choices
from
everyone
else
eating
here,
it’s
on
par
with
many
Chinese
vegetarian
restaurants
at
this
price
range.
A
place
where
you
will
have
food
you
probably
wouldn’t
complain
too
much
about,
with
friendly
neighbourhood
servers,
and
good
dining
atmosphere!
I
would
really
compliment
the
service
I’ve
gotten
because
the
server
was
quite
nice
to
me
as
a
single
diner
who’s
a
bit
stingy
with
money!
For
someone
like
me,
food
you
enjoy
will
be
worth
the
money,
and
the
okay
food
will
feel
a
bit
pricey.
Definitely
a
good
place
to
bring
your
friends
to
dine
if
there
is
a
vegetarian
among
them
and
there
are
no
other
good
options
nearby!
