Nice to try traditional Nonya

I wasn't quite sure what I was trying here but went with friends who could speak Chinese and the owner clarified what dishes were vegan friendly, which happened to be about 95% of the menu. I really enjoyed the food here and it was my first time trying laksa which was really good. It's a little pricey for what you get but that's probably to do more with being located in the mall. If you would like to try some vegan Nonya food then I would recommend giving it a go.

Bit basic

The decor feels very old-fashioned, strip mall restaurant with photos from the menu framed on the walls. I ordered the tofu knots with goji berries and pak choi and was disappointed that it was served just in hot water without any flavouring, could’ve done with a broth or some extra seasoning. Also had the tempeh which I expected to be served hot but was cold and dry, though nicely flavoured.

Nonya cuisine

The food was a bit pricey for what I thought was average quality.

Yummy

As usual, their food is still as good. Brought non-vegetarian friends to visit them and they were pretty surprise by how nice the food is.

And they have added buah keluak on the menu. It would be good if they can provide some wet tissue to clean our hands for eating the buah keluak. We had to use our hand to hold it while trying to dig the fresh out.
And their pulut Hitam is very nice too!

Eh, maybe good for large parties

I feel sad to see that my opinion of this place is so different from other reviewers.
I had dinner here and found the food tasty enough (shrug) but basically overpriced and under-presented for what it offered. The menu and ordering process (check things off on a paper) was rushed for me & I felt like I was being processed when there was clearly no rush in the restaurant. It was just "Eh.. ok" I was hungry, I ate food, I was no longer hungry but the food didn't make me do a little "happy food dance" like so many other meals I've had in Singapore have.

The restaurant itself is large but there was only one other family eating when I arrived (about 6:30 Thursday night). There is another veggie place 3 minutes walk and two floors lower that may have been better for me.

I do hope they do well and this may be a good place to go if you have a large party of people. I was by myself.

Cons: price to value equation

Fantastic vegan food

We travelled across central Singapore to visit this restaurant on the back of the HappyCow reviews. So pleased we did, it was absolutely fantastic and even managed to satisfy an awkward early teenager.
Also, we found the staff to be very friendly and enthusiastic which always makes a difference especially when dealing with our paranoia about menus being labelled as ‘chicken’ or ‘fish’ in a vegan/veggie restaurant (everything is mock meat / mock fish).
The only thing you need to ask about if you are vegan is that they use butter in a small handful of dishes.
Highly recommended, we will be visiting again on our trip.

It’s on level 3 of the shopping centre, a little hidden, but in an area of other restaurants when you’re finding it.

Peranakan Cuisine

Allium-free and eggless vegetarian eatery serving Peranakan cuisine. Seemingly mostly vegan except for some items that may contain dairy - the menu isn't labelled, so do check with the staff when ordering! While I'm not the most well-versed in Peranakan food and can't vouch for its authenticity, the dishes I ordered were pretty tasty. The decor was nice and spacious, and the staff was very friendly. Linked (completely indoors / sheltered) to Esplanade MRT!

Fantastic Introduction to Singapore

After a long, practically sleepless flight, I knew that I needed something superb to help revitalise me and I definitely found it here. The first indication I was on to winner was how wonderfully sweet the owners were! The food was amazing, the monkey head (lions mane…equally ridiculous) Redang that I had was spot on, the fragrant ramen was plentiful and flavoursome, and the satay fried tofu was a great little addition to cap it all off.
A big thanks has to go to the rest of the Cowmunity for highlighting this place, I would never have found it without you.

Nice nonya vegetarian food

Located at Marina Square, food at this restaurant is reasonably priced. It’s my first time coming here. The rendang monkey head mushroom set with rice tasted pretty good. Find the rice a bit dry, it’ll be great if it’ll slightly more moist. Happy to have it as my first meal in 2024.

Pros: Nice option to have nonya vegetarian food , Good flavor , Reasonably priced

They have a huge choice and it seems like everything is vegan, they use a lot of mock meats so it’s great to try the authentic dishes

Tasty nyonya vegetarian food

I have been wanting to visit them when they were operating in Melaka a few years ago but didn't manage to. Recently paid them a visit. The quality of the food was up to my expectation, delicious. Owner was friendly and hospitable. Nice dining experience

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly services, Authentic nyonya styles

Cons: Slightly on the pricey side

Unbelievably delicious

Really enjoyed the butterfly pea coconut steamed rice set. It is quite unbelievable that the sambal tastes so good without the use of onion and garlic.

The butterfly blue tea beverage was a bit too sweet for my liking though.

Pros: Nice ambience , Friendly service

Quality at a price

Cosy Peranakan dining experience. Food portion and quality justify the price

Pros: Friendly owner, Quality food

Cons: A bit pricey. Not authentic nyonya food though, Owner chasing you to make payment and, start housekeep eg sweep at 8.30 pm 😅

Nyonya Vegetarian Yong Tau Foo with sauce?

Was craving for Hakka Yong Tau Foo (with sauce) vegetarian option, but the sauce for Nyonya Yong Tau Foo ($12.9) here is sweet sauce (like those for Chee Cheong Fun), too sweet. If there is an option for the salty version gravy, I would have given this 💯💯💯
Like the 鸳鸯饭 ($2.8) which is the combination of Nasi Lemak Rice and Yellow Rice.
