SG Vegan Food!

Right as mentioned in my previous post, I think I need to dedicate a post specially for the wonderful vegan food that I ate when I was in Singapore! I'm very very happy to be eating so many great vegan food again haha, after 2.5 years of not trying many new vegan finds here heh. So I went all out back in SG! Also thank you to my friends who kindly agreed to eat vegan with me mwahaha. 


For Friday dinner I went to Gokul! Which is a great Indian vegetarian restaurant recommended by Vithya a few years back. We decided to come back here. We all bought a few dishes and share them. I specially ordered a Briyani cause I was just hungry and craving for one hahaha. We also ordered Hokkian mee and carrot cake oh my goodness I miss everything! So good to be eating them again.


For Saturday brunch with Vjie and Candy, we went to Green Common which is a vegan restaurant in Vivo City! I think it's owned by the Greenmonday group. I've been wanting to try eating here so I'm delighted to be here whoop! There's so many food I don't know which to choose, and everything looks really good. But I decided to go with the nofish and chips! Which is a product by Omnimeat. And wow it really tastes like fish. The tartart sauce was great too! Vjie had the kimchi fried rice while Candy had the fishless taco. We also shared a crabcake which tastes quite good too!


Nofish and chips, crabcakes


One of the highlights of this meal is actually this vegan caesar salad! Okay I'm excited for this because I'm finally trying Heura chickn! Heura is a Spanish food brand that makes meat alternatives (they call it meat successor, I like!) product and they're famous for their chickn. It actually tastes really like chicken! The texture that is. I hope I can try more of their chickn in other dishes.


Then I met Brenda at Hvala (thanks for the recommendation!), which is a cafe that specialises in matcha! I love how you can choose the "strength" of the matcha (they use 1, 2, 3). I ordered their matcha-hojicha latte with oatmilk and it tastes really good. Not too sweet but not too bitter either, I choose 2 by the way. We also ordered the warabi mochi with vegan matcha ice cream!


Next I met Ade and Jes for dinner at Violet Oon. I've been wanting to eat here as everytime I googled "Vegan Singapore", this restaurant always pops up. We had the mushroom pong tay, Mullagatawny Soup  (sorry I forgot the spelling), Tahu Goreng and Popiah cups. They're all really tasty, albeit a bit not salty to my liking haha. I especially love the moshroom pong tay as it is very herby. The soup was also good, it tastes like curry but with a refreshing twist!


We had Kind Kones for dessert. I think I'm going to make going to Kind Kones a ritual of my SG trip!


Another dish I've been wanting to try (and no idea why I didn't try this way earlier when I was still in SG) is Thunder Tea Rice! Had this for brunch with Saeyeoh. We wanted to go to the original stall at Chinatown but it is closed on Sundays. So we went to the one in Vivo City. And wow I love it! It's so healthy, refreshing and satisfying. I'm sad to know that apparently they're all closing down for good in June and July respectively. Well I guess I'll have to find another TTR stall in SG


Last but not least for my last meal in SG we went to Elemens with Sharon, Jolene, Tacy and Sem! I wanted to try their noodles soup dish but it's not available so I went for their quinoa hot stone rice. It's very delightful too1 Taste tangy and zesty. I hope to try their other vegan dishes when I'm back. They have a lot of vegetarian options tho so do head down if you want to try!

Right that's all for my vegan food hunt in Singapore. There's a couple of food that I wanted to try but didn't have the chance to. One of them is the famous vegetarian chicken rice in Ang Mo Kio! I hope to try them when I'm back in SG soon. Also I'm very happy to see there's so many plant based milk options in cafes. Oatmilk is ready everywhere. And oh yes I forgot to give Gongcha oatmilk brown sugar a try too haha. Happy to see the plant-based movement is gaining momentum there.

Alright here's to more vegan food finds in SG and everywhere else! :D
