Fully vegan?

So far as we can tell this restaurant is actually vegan rather than vegetarian. See menu, as at March 25.

The food we tried ... Olive fried rice, clay pot tofu and crispy vegetable ham was delicious. We really enjoyed each dish. My particular favourate was the crispy ham.

The restaurant seats around 40 inside & out. Staff were efficient and I would certainly eat here again.

Yi Xin, Singapore

In response to this listing downgrade from vegan to vegetarian; I today asked the guy in charge (via a Chinese speaking customer who offered to translate); what they offer that isn't vegan. The guy seemingly in charge replied approx 3 times pretty confidently, that all they sell is vegan.

It'd be useful if happycow could update this listing to explain what happycow currently claim is non-vegan re this venue.

All vegan affordable food with plenty vegetable dishes to choose from and not just starch. Sets a great standard for cheap and cheerful food around Chinatown.

So delicious yet so budget friendly

This place is godsent. Extremely hole in a wall place but the food is amazing. Can't believe it's so cheap too. Went with a couple of girl friends and tasted at least 5 the Cai Png dishes and ordered a Zhi Char style asam sotong. None disappointed, it was so good we couldn't decide which we like best.

Pros: Plenty of options, Budget friendly , Central location

AMAZING LAKSA

We ate here as a last minute decision and weren’t expecting to be blown away like we were. Highly recommend the laksa, which was so flavourful without being too spicy. We also had the curry noodles which were very delicious too! Can’t beat this place on price for the amazing flavour and quality of food you get.

One of the best I had in Singapore

Very flavorful and reasonably priced.
The place is fully vegan to my understanding.

Delicious vegan food

What a lovely tasty treat! Everything we ate was delicious and looked incredible too. What a find, wish we had more days in Singapore so we could have gone back and sampled more of the menu. Really reasonable prices too, have to pay cash.

Probably the best option in Singapore

Had breakfast, lunch and dinner here almost every day. Delicious food, rich in protein and vegetables, all vegan and less than 5SGD from buffet.

Delicious vegan satay! I didn’t like my main so much (bee hoon mee), but I think I must have ordered the wrong thing. The soup was too mild for me and I was feeling like I should have ordered the laksa. #Veganuary

Cheap and delicious!

We had our first meal in Singapore here, and it was exactly what our tired, jetlagged bodies wanted. A bit confusing to figure out how to order, but we figured it out - we ordered from the food station up front rather than a la carte, picking out several dishes on top of a heaping serving of noodles. The serving was huge - my husband and I shared a plate. Very tasty!

So thankful they're open for breakfast

Arrived in Singapore super early and headed straight to this place for some breakfast (Asia style). It was so tasty! Rice noodles with mock meats and veggies with a curry sauce! The owner is really lovely. They prefer cash not card

Absolutely amazing

Came back 1 year later as we just kept thinking about our meal. Their laksa is to die for and amazing to have so many options.
The crispy tofu skin and crispy bits of seaweed were delicious. As well as the fake meats and tofus!

Fresh, affordable food

There is a menu here but I couldn't decide what I wanted so asked for a selection of food from the buffet. The food wasn't 100% hot but it tasted great and was fresh. The staff were friendly and the overall vibe of the place was nice.

Truly home-cooked vegetarian meals

Very tasty noodles or brown rice with lots of vegetables tofu and some veggie-meat. Very homey feeling where tables are shared with friendly strangers… and it does get busy with clearly many regulars!

Ich würde gerne 6 Sterne geben! ⭐️

Das kleine Restaurant in China Town ist DER GEHEIMTIPP für Veganer und Vegetarier. Große Auswahl an komplett veganen Gerichten, die unglaublich lecker sind. Die Portionen sind größer als der Durchschnitt hier 😊 Wir haben für 2 Hauptgerichte, 2 Sides und 2 Getränke umgerechnet 20€ bezahlt. Absolut top!! ⭐️

Pros: Leckeres Essen, Nah an der MRT-Station, Günstige Preise

So good I forgot to take more photos

Fun authentic Singaporean experience dining here. We ordered lots of different dishes and all were delicious. The only one I remembered to photograph was the black olive fried rice which was the best ever B.O.F.R. I’ve ever tasted.

Pros: Fun atmosphere , Delicious food, Lots of choices
