Check out this list of vegan and veggie places in Singapore that are serving up local and hawker classics you didn't think you needed before
Veganism and plant-based eating are on the rise all over the world. It's no surprise that they've slowly made their way into Singapore's food fabric due, as many gourmands have taken an interest in the healthful benefits of reducing our meat consumption as well as our carbon footprint. That said, there is a greater demand for meat-free options when we're eating out that goes beyond the usual bowl of green salad.
Being a foodie nation, most of us still prefer to order our favourite local dishes such as laksa and char kway teow. Luckily for us, Singapore has an emerging began food scene that serves local hawker fare in its purest, vegan form, starting with these restaurants that whip up novel renditions that are as delicious as their meat counterparts.

1. Botanict
Botanict is the current-day response to the environmental and health appeal of veganism and vegetarianism that started as Yuan Vegetarian in 1982 when vegetarianism was mostly seen as a religious dietary preference. Its menu is brimming with tons of local favourites that have been made vegan and vegetarian-friendly, such as eggless oyster omelette, red curry fish, sweet and sour pork and lion mane satay. The chefs whip up 'veganised' dishes that mainly use meat protein replacements like soy protein, tofu and tempeh, and they take pride in serving the best quality and diabetic-friendly ingredients like buckwheat noodles and brown rice to replace high sugar index foods. Even meatless, their food is flavourful to the max!
