Hey hey hey!
Today I'm going to be giving you a run down on my food recommendations for your short stay in Singapore.
First up, it's this place called
Herbivore
So Herbivore is a Japanese restaurant that is all vegetarian
i know. i know i know!!
like
As a vegetarian it's very hard to come across good Japanese food that is adapted for the vegetarian diet
we had curry katsu rice
and also we had, an unagi (eel) don
this is fake eel!
I'm gonna eat fake eel
I'm so exctied
this sushi which also had substitute crab meat
and sashimi
which was vegetarian
and that was just like, what.
i was.. i was just like ..!!
i would definitely go back to this place again
heck, i would probably even consider moving for this place
it was so good
the second place i'd like to recommend
is a place called The Boneless Kitchen
and ... this place is an all vegetarian Korean bbq place
I haven't had an army stew in a really long time
in an army stew, they usually have like pork, like kinda like sausages and stuff like that
and so they replaced that with like a vegetarian sausage
we also had like a really nice korean pancake, and omg that's probably like the best korean pancake I've ever had so far
it was just like, crispy and like tasty
it was everything you ever want in a Korean pancake
the third place that i'd recommend
is another Japanese uhm restaurant
it's Coco Ichibanya
I've been told that in the last couple of years they've actually adapted all their curry base, bar 1 dish, everything is actually based on a vegetarian roux
there was a vegetarian section
and oh my god i had this uhm curry curry rice
which had spinach and eggplant, and omg the eggplant was grilled to perfection
omg it was so good
and the next place i'd like to recommend is called VeganBurg
it's like a 100% plant based burger joint
i had this uhm burger which had a bit of an Indonesian / Malaysian twist on it
and it was pretty good
they also had really delicious sides - I really enjoyed their chips and like this vegan aioli sauce
when you're in Singapore, you'll see a lot of hawker stalls
which is basically like kind of like a food court situation
with all these little stalls in there
and .. you know you can get your like you know teh tariks and like your teas and stuff like that
what I would recommend getting from there as a vegetarian is
this dish
in Taechew Chinese it's called Gu Chai
and it's really yummy
the outside is kind of like this rice flourey situation and inside is
like filled with.. uhm.. some kind of chives
and the second thing is this other dish
kind of reminds you of like radish cake at dim sum
but the bottom of it is kind of like a rice flour
top is kind of this sweet stir fried bits of like.. a type of vegetable
anyway
those things were really good
and if you see them at the hawker stalls, definitely go and get them
ok so on to my dessert recommendations
first up, of course is
Bengawan Solo
which is a Singaporean bakery and it's been around for a very long time
and what I really love at Bengawan Solo
is
this dessert called Kueh Lapis
and kueh lapis is an Indonesian dessert which is.. AHMAZINGGG
it's an Indonesian cake
it's got lots and lots of layers
and we really like it with the prunes in between as well.. and it's just SO GOOD..
uhm it's also really really hard to make and it takes a very long time to make
'cause you have to like steam each layer and then put on another layer
and steam that and then like so on and so forth
so it takes a lot of effort, which is why you don't really make it at home
i mean you could but it's going to take a really long time
and ain't nobody got time for that when you can like get it from Bengawan Solo right
the next place we also went to
was Lady M New York
which opened a branch up in Singapore
and.. they're well known for their crepe cakes
what I really liked was like a moussey cream cake
I tried their green tea crepe cake
which is one of the things that they're well known for
and I've got to say
that in Thailand we do really really good crepe cakes
so Lady M had a lot to live up to in my books
Lady M New York crepe cakes - it's very it's just like layers of crepes with cream in between
it feels less like a cake
the pieces are quite separated
and it's not as a.. of a smooth eating experience
ok. so the net place uhm I ate at was called Ya Kun Kaya Toast
and I looove kaya toast
uhm I think in Thailand we have a specific style of kaya toast
that I like, which is like a very like green (because of the pandan) green kaya on top of like thick white toast
and things like that
so I love that style of kaya toast
uhm this style of kaya toast is thinner and it's got butter in it as well
and just kind of like a lighter kaya taste
which it was delicious
but I would definitely recommend the Bangkok style more
and of course if you need a break from the heat
what is really good is obviously ice cream
and we tried Yole
which is a frozen yoghurt place
what I really liked about it is that they had this sauce which was based on speculoos
if you know what speculoos is
it's like a dutch cookie
at Yole they did like this sauce that was based on the speculoos flavour
and oh my god it was so delicious
if you're on haji lane
the next parallel street over is called bali lane
and we went to a cafe called Stateland Cafe
we had a red velvet waffle
with like peanut butter soft serve
and oh my god the soft serve was sooo good
uhm definitely would recommend going there just for the soft serve itself
that is all I have to recommend from this short trip
but there's so many food options in Singapore and I was very very happy with my experience there
