This award-winning vegetarian concept by Tunglok Group is tucked away on the fifth floor of Liat Towers in Orchard Road. It’s got an air of secrecy to it – the only way to enter is via a nondescript elevator on level one of Liat Towers – though in actuality, the restaurant has been around since 1991 and is pretty well-known among the vegetarian community. Lingzhi is the kind of place you’d bring your relatives or business partners to. The 150-seater establishment is great for banquets, reunion dinners, and the like. There are even four private rooms you can book out.
The a la carte dim sum lunch buffet ($33.80) is what you want to go for. For 90 minutes, eat your fill of truffle ee fu noodles, man tou with chilli gravy, sweet and sour monkey head mushrooms, and more. Do note that the truffle mushroom soup is limited to one serving per person. If you’re ordering from the a la carte menu, the braised organic kale broth ($12) is another popular item. And if you're visiting for a birthday celebration, the friendly staff might even throw in a couple complimentary peach longevity buns.
