Lotus Vegetarian (Royal Square at Novena)

This plant based Chicken Rice really tricked us. The chicken flavour rice tastes very similar to the real one. And the crispy skin of the mock chicken meat feels like the real texture! It also comes with a bowl of Szechuan Veg Pork Soup. The presentation is impressive and definitely recommended this dish! $9.90++

The Nasi Lemak comes with Coconut rich alchemy blue butterfly pea rice, and a variety of plant based Fish Fillet, Otah, Ikan Bills and Szechuan Veg Pork Soup. The presentation is appealing and so is the food! $9.90++

Lotus Vegetarian is an upscale Chinese vegetarian restaurant serving elevated versions of tze char and local dishes such as nasi lemak. With a spacious interior, foor-to-ceiling glass windows, high ceilings, wooden furniture and finishings, and bare concrete floors, it very much channels a Muji vibe.

They have to be commended on their completely meat-free nasi lemak, which in keeping with the healthy theme, comes with low GI, high fibre, blue pea-coloured Alchemy fibre rice and a plethora of sides which roughly approximate what you might find in a conventional nasi lemak. As part of the lunch set, it also comes with a herbal soup. Pretty value for money if you ask me.

Taste: 3/5

What special about having their Chinese kung fun tea here is that the tea are serve in a traditional way, which allow you to have a few brews. $4.80++ per pax with min. 2 pax

Replaced with mushrooms fillings, the bun itself was pan fried perfectly. $4.80++

The texture of Vegetarian siew mai was similar to the meat siew mai but definitely a healthier one, as it was made from plant-based. $4.20++
