Vegan Singaporean food at Lion Dance Cafe in Downtown Oakland, San Francisco Bay Area

Remarks

All vegan Singaporean restaurant with fresh ingredients purchased Oakland's Chinatown. They have incredible sandwhiches (only on Fridays and Saturdays): the Tauhu Goreng sandwich on Fridays and the Shaobing sandwich on Saturdays. Sometimes when my annoying colleague starts to drone on about programming environment hygeine or magpie swooping season, I can tune him out by just thinking about how savory and flavorful these sandwiches are.

If you foolishly come on a non-sandwich day, the Three cup tofu and Jackfruit rendang are solid backups. Sadly, the noodles here are a little underwhelming but still pretty good, especially since it's impossible to find vegan Laksa anywhere else. A.S.S. cookies & Pandan butter nian gao are good dessert options.

Their daily specials are usually really good, although annoyingly, they are posted only on Instagram.

It's about $20 for a sandwich here.

Last sampled 5th October 2022.
