Ever wanted to go green? Vegetarian and vegan food have a bad rep of being bland and expensive (ugh, the worst combination), but I think that’s far from the truth. In fact, some of these places are just as good as their carnivorous counterparts, or even better. Check out these fully vegan places that serve meals with all flavour, no guilt.
01 • Veganburg
No impossible meat here — Veganburg is the world’s first 100% plant-based burger joint, serving burgers that are GMO- and cholesterol-free. Started by a local Singaporean because of his health issues, Veganburg has gone on to attract celebrities like Taylor Swift and Steve Aoki. In fact, they were the official catering partner for Taylor Swift’s Red Tour in Singapore!
From Smoky BBQ ($17.40) to Chilli Krab ($17.40), their burgers are flavourful and well-seasoned without tasting artificial. They accept CDC vouchers too, so you can get your greens in without breaking the bank.

One of their most popular items is Rice Cream ($4.50), gelato made from brown rice milk and evaporated cane sugar. It’s naturally sweet and oh-so-creamy with a hint of earthiness. You can enjoy it alongside their Signature Fluffy Waffles ($8.50) too, for an indulgent treat.
