Five Places To Get Your Vegan Fix In Singapore

Veganism, whether you’re doing it for the animals and Mother Nature, or simply looking for a healthier lifestyle, I applaud you. Defined as a plant-based diet which excludes all meat and animal-derived ingredients, eating out may sometimes be a bit of a headache, and it’s even worse when your friends don’t share the same lifestyle. But never fear, because we've rounded up some of the best vegan spots in Singapore that even your non-vegan friends will love.

1. HRVST Bistro

Right smack in the heart of the CBD, this rooftop bistro café and bar was opened by was the same folks behind boutique gym, Kilter Avenue. HRVST (pronounced ‘Harvest’) features an edible garden, where they grow their own produce and herbs. For your mains, you can opt for their Vegan Carbonara, topped off with cashew cream, mushroom bacon, broccoli and cauliflower, or for if you’re feeling some local, try the Soy Satay, served with classic peanut sauce and veggie chips. The meat is made with soy, and is surprisingly dense and juicy.

2. Loving Hut

While most vegan cafes out there only serve western accented cuisines, Loving Hut serves 100% plant-based renditions of some of your favorite local dishes like Nyonya Laksa Lemak, which is apparently “the best thing over there” and under 500 calories ( a regular bowl of Nyona Lakso stands at 700 cals).

So, you’re vegan and you love Japanese food. We know how tricky it can be when it comes to navigating the Japanese menu given how seafood is an essential component of the cuisine.

Go for their highly recommended Chicken Don Set, that features grilled mock chicken seared to perfection or their Unagi.
