Nature Cafe (Bukit Merah)

Every time I passed by this here and I always wanted to try this vegetarian restaurant. Today finally found the chance.

A cozy air-conditioned vegetarian restaurant at Bukit Merah, serving extensive ranges of vegetarian foods.

For individual meal, you can go for their rice set like this one. The mock meat of cod fish are topped with lots of spicy chilli sauce. $7.50

Default is kway teow but I changed to their impressive la mian. Since it's green curry and noodles, you can't tell it's vegetarian.

I wanted to give their fried rice a chance because you can't really mess it up. Unfortunately using brown rice definitely weakens the taste of fried rice. The spicy and the kimchi also didn't work, coming across as forced.

A perfect dish to be vegetarian. I always say when eating vegetarian, don't order things that were meat that's replaced. This had such variety, although be warned about the spiciness.

For a quick meal, awesome vegetarian plate, fluffy coarse grain rice with creamy pumpkin, curry mock meat & fried vegetables.
Definitely not bad.

This was around $12-$13, at first I was slightly taken aback. However, this was quite value for money. My favourite part was the pasta which was a cross between udon & spaghetti! It had a herbaceous flavour similar to pesto and was studded with mushrooms, mock ham & capsicums. The accompanying fries were soggy & oily so I left them out. The salad at the side was refreshing but was overpowered by the ‘mayonnaise’ dressed on it.

The cheese was legit and I even had a cheese pull! The mock meat was dressed with a tangy reduced tomato sauce & had a chewy texture. To end it off on a sweet note, a small cup of jelly was provided! Tasted very similar to Ai-yu jelly, really refreshing & my only gripe was that the portion was too small! It was not too sweet & I did not expect to be a fan of this! The set also came with mushroom soup which was chock full of mushrooms but tasted a little diluted. Also there were lumps of roux mixture in the soup but I easily forgot about that.

All in all, a 7/10! Would try it again :)

*Tofu was purchased separately for $6.5!
