Best Places for Vegetarian in Singapore 2017
For fuss-free and convenient meatless meals, turn to this Asian-fusion eating chain, which has locations peppered across Singapore. Their noodle bowls — try the nourishing Angelica Herbal Noodles ($7.90) on rainy days — and Customised Bento ($7.90), with options like sambal konnyaku sweet and sour soy nuggets for mains, are great for solo meals. If you are dining with a friend, consider ordering their Mushroom Bowl Set for 2 ($35.90). Select your choice of laksa, tom yum or herbal soup for the broth base, in which you cook a hearty selection of various mushrooms and vegetables.The set includes two bowls of rice — Burppler Raine Liu recommends the sesame rice — and two cups of tea. While it is portioned for two, the hearty set can actually be shared among three modest appetites. Pro tip: Greendot currently has 10 outlets across Singapore. Visit their website for the full list of locations.

Lauded as the world's first 100 percent plant-based burger joint, VeganBurg is our go-to place for tried-and-tested, absolutely scrumptious meatless burgers. Made from soybeans and mushrooms, the patties are hearty and juicy, and the burger buns are soft with just enough bite. Bestselling burgers on the menu include the Creamy Shrooms ($8.90), which comes with dairy-free cream sauce and fresh button mushrooms, and the Smoky BBQ ($9.90) that comes slicked in a most delicious smoky barbecue sauce. We also love that they continually introduce seasonal specials like the most recent Chili Krab ($10.90), which features a sweet and spicy homemade sauce made using handcrafted rempah. Add $3.90 for a side of seaweed fries or grilled broccoli, and a drink. If you're cutting down on carbs, these guys will willingly swap out your buns for a lettuce wrap.

Of the plethora of vegetarian joints in Fortune Centre, Burpplers voted this cafe as their go-to. Located on the fourth floor (near the escalators), the nondescript spot is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, offering a lovely oasis to enjoy a quiet, nourishing meal. While prices are on the slightly higher side compared to cheaper options downstairs, New Green Pasture Cafe continues to draw in the crowds for their quality dishes, which are both healthy and flavourful. We like that the dishes are not overly complex, which allows the fresh ingredients to shine. Some of the community's top picks include the Herbal Soup Mee Sua ($8.50), which sees a Chinese herbal broth swimming with hearty ingredients like slippery noodles and juicy straw mushrooms, the Sri Lankan Roll ($8.50) that features spiced potatoes and tofu packed tightly within a toasted wrap, and the Charcoal Noodle Salad ($11). The unassuming dish wowed Burppler Bibi W with its mishmash of flavours and textures — think cold noodles, alfafa, rice crispies, sunflower seeds, carrot and pomegranate, all tossed through with soy-based mayonnaise and sesame sauce.
