visited us for 2 days, she wanted to have good vegetarian Malay food in Singapore. I hadn't really looked around for asian vegetarian food in Singapore, we mostly just get Indian when we eat out or maybe Mexican or Italian. A quick search brought up
Their menu is extensive, and when I say extensive, I mean extensive! They have Asian (Thai, Malay, Indonesian, Singaporean) vegetarian food and also North Indian and South Indian food, including starters. Everything is 100% vegetarian and the dishes don't even contain egg, onions or garlic.?
A quick look at what we ordered and the reviews for each.
Gobi 65 to start the meal. It was crisp and perfectly cooked inside. We especially loved the mint chutney it came with. They also served fried papad for the table.
Vegetarian Laksa. Anu specifically wanted vegetarian Laksa and Gokul did a decent job of it too. The portion size was quite but and the broth was quite authentic in terms of texture and colour. However, for someone who has had the real thing, this was no match. I could taste too much coconut in the gravy (btw, there's nothing called too much coconut, ever, but in a Laksha, there sadly is) and without the fish, a Laksa is not a Laksa. Anu and family were quite happy with it too. The fried tofu was sodden and cooked perfectly too.
The chilli chicken that Amrith and I ordered. They use mock meat made with soy protein for this and it was really good. I could manage with this if I just can't eat the real thing anymore. It came on a sizzler plate which was an added bonus.
Manchurian Fried Rice. Was flavourful, spiced just right, and was a generous portion than four adults could share.
Malaysian Sambal is made with dried anchovies and I was a bit skeptical when they offered the vegetarian version of this. This sambal fried rice was a pleasant surprise! It was delicious and had a pretty distinct flavour from the Manchurian Fried Rice above although they look the same.
Vegetarian Char Kway Teow with mock meat. Char Kway Teow is a dish very close to my heart so I was eager to taste the vegetarian version. It was good. Not Penang-street-food good but still very good for a vegetarian version which had to take its flavour from mock meat.
The delicious vegetarian kheema masala dosa that Amrith and I shared. It was spicy, made with soya chunks and peas, and some masala, and was very filling. Came with sambar and three kinds of chutney in generous quantities. A great order and one I would repeat if I went back although the menu is so vast and has so many other enticing things for us to try.
Amrith and I also shared a drink called Ice Lychee Delight. We both love Lychee so this was pleasant and cooling, especially paired with the spiciness of the kheema dosa.
Anu's daughter got a veggie burger that came with fries and also an ice cream sundae.
For a very filling meal for 4 adults and one child, the cost was very reasonable at SGD 75.
Their website has the detailed menu with pictures to show what it is. Portions are generous so be cautious of over-ordering. They also have South Indian and North Indian food but since Asian / Malay / Indonesian vegetarian food is rare in Singapore, I would definitely recommend that.
Overall, highly recommended for a different vegetarian dining experience in Singapore.
