They have quite a wide menu and I love that they offer the choice of brown rice, white rice or any kind of noodles you prefer! O'bean is a vegetarian place, but the menu clearly indicates what contains egg and dairy. Here are some of the dishes I've tried!
The korean seafoodless pancake ($21.80) was massive! I honestly would prefer it to be smaller and less expensive. Came with vinegar and a sauce that I think its gochujang (korean red pepper paste). It's crispy and quite nice taste wise, but it's too oily for my liking and I wouldn't order it again haha.
The braised dumpling soup ($11.80) with brown rice was sooooo good. The dumplings were really big and flavourful! In my opinion they are the best vegan dumplings I've tried. They beat the dumplings served at genesis, real food, and xuan miao. I really love the broth that they are served in as well. You can tell its homemade with all those chinese herbs and stuff!
The Teochew braised platter for one with soya kway chap was fantastic! My parents said it tastes really authentic. I've not had kway chap before because even as a meat eater I felt really uncomfortable eating offal.
The braised platter usually comes with egg but if you're vegan they replace the egg with green veggies yay. There's taukwa, taupok, peanuts, "pork", mushroom and pickled veggies. I'm not a fan of the pickled veggies cos they were so sour (though I like kimchi and pickles usually). The rest of the platter was really yum tho. Really reminded me of the braised pork and taukwa dish I used to eat in when I was in primary school :')
The pork tastes so real omg they even put the fatty layer.
The kway chap soup is the same as the dumpling soup from earlier so I loved it! The kway texture was great too. Highly recommend trying this :)
My parents ordered a ginkgo nut dessert and the signature dry pepper mee sua that I didn't try but they want to go back again so I'm pretty sure they liked the food!
