Zi Zai Zhai is a cosy and affordable eating place located near Boon Keng MRT station. Their food are mostly popular local fares remade into vegetarian versions.
For individual food portions, there is a variety of fried rice, soup noodles and fried noodles (about 10 options for each category) at about $4-$5 per plate.
For larger portions, they have options similar to Tzi Char stall where you can order mains and different types of veg at your preferred dish sizes - small, medium, or large.
Here are some of the food I ordered at the restaurant 😛
 |
| Hokkien mee - A favourite amongst Singaporeans. The ingredients used to replace prawns and octopus in the original version are mock meat and mushrooms. |
 |
| Ham fried rice - Fried rice that contain veg ham (mock meat) and mixed peas (carrot, corn, green peas), topped with kelp and sesame veg floss. |
 |
| Claypot yee-mee - Yee-mee in braised soup, with mock meat, mushrooms and veg. I thought the texture of the noodles and the taste of the braised soup was nice. |
 |
| Stir-fry broccoli and shiitake mushrooms: This dish is simply blanched broccoli and fresh mushrooms tossed in a savoury Chinese sauce. |
Food at Zi Zai Zhai is decent but I feel it can be improved by cutting down on the use of mock meat and adding more flavours into the dishes. It's also a good place to hang out in its cafe-like ambiance.

P.S. Bendemeer Market & Food Centre that is located nearby is a food haven too. There's a lot of delicious local fares available all in one place - mee rebus, malay kuehs, chwee kueh, fried carrot cake, chee cheong fun, traditional tau sa piah, and more! You can tabao some back home for your family or breakfast the next day. 😜
