This was the most expensive of the vegan restaurants I visited while in Singapore, but also had the best food. They transformed mushrooms into an approximation of a mutton rendang. It was so good it impressed my carnivorous dining companion, who had been sampling his favorite dish at the city's hawker centers. I also enjoyed a dish combining oats, tofu, and curry leaves, which reminded me of chaat (north Indian street food).

Overpriced - Edit
I don’t understand the good reviews. I had the beans with Tempeh and brown rice. They subbed the sauce of the dish with something else because the original wasn’t available....the dish tasted like greasy beans thrown in a bowl of salt. For one small plate, rice and a glass of water I payed 14 € (22 SGD). Most expensive and worst food I ever had. Wouldn’t have eaten it if I hadn’t been eating all day and was already starving and it wasn’t the only open restaurant in the area I stayed.

Super delicious - Edit
Food is simply amazing, we tried the crispy tempeh, monkey head mushrooms, tofu in oats and eggplants and everything was delicous. The only thing I didn't understand is why they don't make their own juices ,instead offering them in cans and plastic bottles.

Amazing Penang Rendang - Edit
I went here with 3 non-veg and we were all impressed with the quality of the food. The Penang Rendang tasted so much like beef that I found myself checking to be sure. Two cons. I asked the waiter about vegan options and he pointed out 3 or 4 dishes on the whole menu. The manager was walking by and overheard the conversation. Then she tells me that everything on the menu is vegan except for one dish with honey and an ice cream dessert. Not a huge deal, but that made me think twice about the food since butter is one of those ingredients that seems to find it’s way into a lot of “vegan” food. The other con is their inability to split checks. Other than that I’d say the food is good. It is pricey but I’d say it’s a nice place to go for the occasional splurge.

Excellent food but pricey - Edit
Treated my mum to lunch and staff did not submit our order correctly via the tablet and we waited for more than 30 minutes for nothing. It would have been a higher rating due to the excellent food but with the insincerity in the apology, it really spoiled the experience, worsened by the unexpected $93 bill (10% service charge + 7% GST). With price more expensive than some 5 star hotels, you've got to deliver better service than this!

Food is good - Edit
The food here is good. However the price is way too expensive for the portion and taste. Not a match in terms of value. I won't return unless my friends or family choose this as a gathering venue.

It's the only nice comfortable vegetarian place around Tanjong Pagar. I bring clients there often. The food is great, especially the rendang. Your meat eating friends would find it hard to believe that's it's not meat.

the fake meat was tasty - Edit
My friend took me here when i was visiting Singapore. I usually eat pure plant based foods that don't 'pretend' to be meat but this place has lots of 'fake meat'. It was quite nice for a change but the honey 'chicken' i ordered wasn't really a full meal, it needed greens & sides to complement it but it was already quite pricey. i would recommend this place if you feel like eating fake meat. I enjoyed it for a change but wouldn't go back because I prefer full plant based meals with greens, eg salads & stir frys.

A taste sensation - Edit
We dined here twice during our recent stay and on both occasions it was superb. Whole Earth is really easy to get to and is located right next to Tanjong Pagar mrt. The food is simply stunning and presented beautifully. The food although expensive is well worth it as you will experience some excellent fine dining with their creative and authentic menu. On our first visit we ordered the nonya curry ($20.90) and the spicy kong po monkeyhead mushrooms ($20.90). The texture of the monkeyhead mushrooms was like eating 'real meat', they are so chewy and coupled with the excellent spicy kong po sauce, this made for a delicious dining experience. The nonja curry was also very flavoursome and fresh with a great depth of spices. The brown rice added an extra wholesome texture too. On our second visit, I decided to try the nutty buah keluak ($20.90) and my wife got the sweet and sour delight ($16.90) with a sambal oyster mushroom to share ($17.90). I had been warned that people either love or hate the nutty buah keluak due its sour taste but thankfully I loved it and was so glad I got the chance to experience this authentic dish. The sweet and sour delight was delicious, as was the sambal oyster mushroom side, both bursting with flavour. For dessert we decided to get the papaya snow fungus and shaved almonds dessert ($6) and pear and aloe vera dessert ($6), which were so refreshing. In total we spent about $150 over the two visits. If I did have a criticism it was that the menu didn't state if the dishes were vegan friendly but the staff were helpful and were able to check with the chef. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. You won't be disappointed.

Good food but expensive - Edit
I went to The Whole Eart a few times because it is conveniently located near Thiong Baru MRT station. The food is good but is pricey. Also I find the noise level too high becasue there is no decoration at all to absorb the noise. It feels a little like being in a empty factory warehouse.

Chinese New Year (CNY) Set Menu - Edit
Happen to get to know about CNY Set Menu at Whole Earth. There are about 5 CNY sets but we tried the 6-course CNY Set Menu - Joy Set @ S$188+ (LNY Special Menu) on 6 Feb 2010. Taking advantage of the early bird discount, we got a discount of 10% plus a complimentary dinning voucher.
Read moreProsperity Abalone Fruit Enzyme YuSheng
This is well presented and looks so much better than the photo we got. Those few pea shoots on YuSheng look like fallen leaves lying on the ground, so natural and beautiful. There were many ingredients in this Yusheng, but I have no idea what there were and only know it tasted good. I guess the rest of us just find this dish delicious and really have no idea that it was healthier (using Fruit Enzyme) than the normal Yusheng which used plum sauce and oil.
Doubleboilded Golden Pumpkin Sharksfin Soup
LOVE it. It was real delicious, special, rich and my son kept asking for more. There were many different ingredients, yet balanced well and harmonize with the rest of the ingredients. Using pumpkin puree in the broth, make it looked like a pot of gold.
Nyonya Homemade Tofu Fish with Thai Dill Leaves
Appetizing and delectable! Something new to me - Thai Dill Leaves, still wondering what is that herb. The sauce of this dish came with the right thickness, sweet, sourly with bit spiciness. It was very appetizing and paired well with the Tofu Fish and steamed rice.
Monkeyhead Mushroom served on Asparagus
As usual, Monkeyhead Mushroom is our favourite. This dish was rather exceptional as it used Angelica Root which is full of goodness and yet not overpowering. Nicely presented. Asparagus is never my favourite but this dish was well done. The baby asparagus was fresh and not over cooked and soaking up the favour from the sauce nicely. Therefore, we could finish something which wasn't our favourite veggie.
Thai Vermicelli Tang Hoon
I like bean vermicelli (Tang Hoon) but not this combination. So, we requested the waitress to help us packed it as takeaway. Maybe, they should allow choices on noodle or vermicelli.
Homemade Lemongrass Jelly with Longan
For dessert, wobbly jelly full of lemongrass flavour was been served. Sweet (it tastes like there was honey) and refreshing!

The Whole Earth - Edit
The bottom line is that the food is decent, but you can get the same thing elsewhere for cheaper. They also charge you for the little snacks you receive prior to the meal. This seems underhanded, since one would logically expect this to be complimentary. The atmosphere also leaves a lot to be desired, and it reminds me of eating in a vacant warehouse.

As advertised - delicious! - Edit
We visited Whole Earth yesterday, and I an still fantasizing about the meal. Let's get the (sligit) negative out of the way first. This is an expensive meal for Singapore, though hardly costly by U.S. or European standards. Our meal for two (including a voucher - see below) came to $80. Considering we could easily eat a very good meal in most of Singapore for $20-30, it's undoubtedly pricey.
Read moreAnd worth every penny. The food at Whole Earth was really special, and the service excellent. But let's talk first about the food! We ordered four dishes. One was off the charts amazing, two were great and one was above-average, dragged down only by the comparative excellence of the others, and we barely got into some of the amazingly varied menu items. Everything is very fresh, beautifully prepared and FULL of flavour. The Sweet and Sour Delight was the BEST mock meat dish I have ever tasted - and I've eaten at over 40 of these types of restaurants at least. We also enjoyed the Asparagus with Eel Mushrooms, and the Monkeyhead Mushroom Satay. Fresh coconut milk washed everything down beautifully. You can make your meal a bit cheaper by visiting the Whole Earth web site and downloading one of their vouchers. They don't seem to have any expiry date. Do yourself a favour and visit this place!
Pros: Amazing food, great staff, reasonable portions
Cons: expensive!

Superb Restaurant - Edit
The Whole Earth totally changed my perception of vegetarian food. Before, vegetarian food to me is mainly oily gluten mock food that tastes the same and have a rubbery texture.
Read moreThe dishes at The Whole Earth are simply superb! The olive rice is the best I've ever eaten. The oatmeal tofu is done perfectly - crispy on the outside and yet soft inside. A surprisingly nice dish is the interesting combination of monkeyhead mushroom with aloe vera.
They've managed to bring out the natural goodness and taste of the fresh ingredients. And the best part of all, they did it without any added MSG! Brilliant! A definite must place to have a healthy wholesome meal !!
With food tasting so good, I do not mind being a vegetarian!
Pros: Natural Goodness, Yummy Food

Excellent food, nice venue. - Edit
I found The Whole Earth to be a a bit nicer than most of the Chinese Vegetarian eateries in Singapore. The venue is pleasant and modern if not special and the menu is more varied than other places. They specialize in Peranakan dishes as well as several Thai options. We had the Nonya curry, pretty good, pretty hot, the pad thai, simple but nice, the sambal brinjal (eggplant), very good, beatiful flavour and texture and the yam paste dessert which was lovely and very creamy. We also had the crispy fish/seaweed which is provided at the start of the meal- very interesting and unusual taste.
Read morePrices are slightly higher than average but the quality of food justified it. We paid $48 for 3 dishes, 1 dessert and 2 drinks. I will definitely come here again.
Pros: Variety, Modern, Very tasty
Cons: Not most convenient location.
