Genesis Vegan

Genesis Vegan is the dream of every vegan craving Asian food. The restaurant advocates wholesome eating, with delicious plant based food that is dairy free as well. Sugar, salt and oil levels in the food are closely monitored and the use of MSG is strongly discouraged. Though the location may not be the best, the food more than makes up for it. The Organic Mint Tea (S$3) is a great way to start the meal. The Bakuteh Rice (S$8.90) is a great choice for mains with a side of Kimchi (S$3). A star dish is the chef recommended Dumpling (S$6). If you’re vegan, you’ll probably love the Tofu Cheese Cake (S$4.50) which doesn’t have any dairy based cheese. They also have quite a few dishes that don’t contain onion or garlic. If you’re craving more than Asian, check out the Lasagne, with cashew sauce, mushrooms and brown lentils.

Gokul Vegetarian

Vegetarian Prawn Sizzler (Image credit: Gokul Vegetarian’s Facebook page)

A much-loved Asian vegetarian restaurant in Singapore, Gokul Vegetarian features Indian, Indian-fusion and local cuisine and is a good choice for those who might be trying to turn vegetarian as it features vegetarian versions of many non-vegetarian dishes. While we don’t particulary fancy dishes like Vegetarian Fish Head Curry or Prawn Sizzler, we have to say they do look like the real deal, so if you’re missing the meat, Gokul might be a good bet. Gokul Vegetarian has a vast menu and they offer catering services as well. We prefer to stick with the real veg stuff like Punjabi Samosa (S$5) and Chinese Rojak (S$9). Skip the usual soups and have the typically south Indian Rasam which is prepared with tamarind juice, tomato, pepper & cumin (S$ 3.5). They also have a range of Dosas between S$5 to 7.50. For Asian mains, Sambal Goreng (S$8.0), Gokul Special Hokkien Mee (S$8) and Shahi Paneer make the cut perfectly. But you just can’t leave without the Gulab Jamun (a milk solid based dessert balls fried and soaked in light sugar syrup, S$4.0).
