The hot new addition to Changi, Jewel Changi Airport is a stunning mixed-use development with gardens, attractions, retail, dining and a hotel, that was concepted to be the gateway where the world meets Singapore, and Singapore meets the world. Jewel is poised to be the hub for shopping and dining, as also the most loved flight stopover destination globally.
Singapore’ vibrant dining scene is also reflected at Jewel, with its many restaurants offering varied local and international fare. We obviously went hunting for vegan & vegetrain friendly food at Jewel but we did not stop there. Here is EatRoamLive’s Guide to Vegan & Vegetarian Food, Vegan Drinks and Vegan Shoes at Jewel Changi.

With an all-day menu of western grub, local dishes and baked treats, there is enough to enjoy after a day of shopping. The Mediterranean Salad (S$16) is vegan, colourful and very flavourful, the sort of dish you go back for. Also suitable for vegans are the Mad-For-Mexican Salad, Thai Green Vegetable Curry and Privé Beyond Burger (S$21). If you’re looking for still more vegan sumptuousness, indulge in the 85% Dark Chocolate Cake that comes with a raspberry & chia seed compote.

Choose 2 sauces from Habanero, Sweet Thai Chilli, Mayo Cucumber, BBQ and Mayo; then choose from a plethora of veg toppings like Corn, Mash Potato, Cilantro Rice, Cous Cous and Black Beans. You can even opt for additional toppings like Guacamole and Hummus at an extra cost. We loved the bowl, but we were disappointed that they served our bowl in single-use plastic boxes, so next time we plan to eat at Stuff’D Jewel, we shall BYOB.

Looking for something less caffeinated? Australian juice bar phenomenon, Boost, offers an extensive range of smoothies, freshly squeezed juices and dairy-free crushes. Do note that some of their smoothies use dairy ice-cream while others like Watermelon Lychee Crush and Berry Crush use dairy-free sorbets, so please check on the ingredients before you order.
At Mr Coconut, the coconut based Fresh Juices are dairy-free. At Mr Bean, you can enjoy a variety of soy milk beverages like Watermelon Soya Milk and Icy Sea Salt Chendol. Do note that most soy milk beverages at Mr Bean do not contain dairy/milk but Pearly Taro, Viet Coffee, Icy Chocolate and Matcha Azuki Soy Milk all have some dairy content, so vegans should steer clear of these.
