It’s complemented by savoury homemade dried shrimp, crispy ikan bilis, and a fiery kick of red-hot chilli, creating a deliciously complex balance of flavours and textures.

If your budget is around $20 to $30, you don’t want to overlook Lilac Oak. Lauded as one of the best vegan cafes in Singapore, it has received hundreds of rave reviews from happy customers over the years — and for good reason. Its sandwiches are heavenly! The Simple Tofu Sandwich is our personal favourite as it comes with a delectable turmeric tofu patty grilled masterfully, sauteed carrots, and fresh cucumbers doused in fragrant fermented beancurd sauce.

Go for their house-special Bimbimbap if you’re feeling hungry (or hangry), as the rice bowl features a refreshing and healthy mix of seasonal vegetables, tofu, housemade kimchi, and a generous serving of Gochujang (Korean chilli paste). 

If you’re in the mood for a drink, the Vegan Cafe offers a selection of artisanal teas. We highly recommend their iced Matcha Oat Latte — it’ll leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Don’t judge a book by its cover or a restaurant by its interior. This unassuming vegan eatery may not look fancy, but its food speaks for itself. With vegan versions of Singaporean, Korean, and Italian dishes, Genesis provides a yummy plant-based experience for vegans and non-vegans alike without emptying your wallet.

Their standout? Homemade dumplings that pack a healthy punch, consisting of juicy mock meat and fresh veggies. Another favourite of ours is the Jajangmyeon (a noodle dish with black bean sauce). The Korean-Chinese noodle dish is generously coated in rich black bean gravy, delivering a deep umami flavour. The noodles, perfectly chewy and satisfying with each bite, pair beautifully with the crisp cucumber and carrot slices on the side.

While not entirely vegetarian, this bistro still offers some of the best vegetarian food in Singapore at prices ranging from $10 to $20.

Served with grilled chicken or salmon, this dish features a delicious vegetarian alternative with tofu patties, coriander, chili, and black soy sauce that is equally satisfying.

Salads can often be bland, but Eminami takes this dish to a whole new level with a vibrant combination of fresh vegetables, including tofu, basil, peanuts, and root pickles. You can also choose from yam, mango, or papaya to add a unique twist. Finished with a delicious dressing, this refreshing salad is anything but ordinary. Who said healthy food can’t be enjoyable?
