Vegan Food in Singapore
How Easy Is It to Eat Vegan?
Eating vegan in Singapore was much easier than I expected, especially for a short stay. Thanks to the city’s multicultural food scene and high awareness around dietary preferences, finding plant based options felt straightforward and stress free.
Even when menus were unclear, staff were generally happy to help, and English being widely spoken made ordering simple.
My Go-To Spot: nomVnom Bistro
I ended up eating at nomVnom Bistro every single day. Partly because it was convenient, right at the Clarke Quay metro station but mostly because I genuinely loved the food.
After coming from India, where I had eaten a lot of rice and noodles with vegetables, I was suddenly craving western comfort food. nomVnom was perfect for that. I especially came for the burgers and pasta.
Everything was satisfying, familiar, and exactly what I needed at that moment in my travels. It became my safe place when I did not want to think too hard about menus or ingredients.
Hawker Centres and Local Options
Singapore’s hawker centres offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes, especially from Indian and Chinese stalls. Vegetable curries, tofu based dishes, and rice with mixed vegetables are easy to find.
Even when I did not eat at places like Lau Pa Sat, just walking through and seeing the variety made it clear how accessible plant based eating can be in Singapore.
Coffee Culture and Plant Based Milk
One thing I really appreciated was how common plant based milk is in Singapore. At most coffee shops, oat, soy, or almond milk was available without any issues.
Even at Marina Bay Sands, including the infinity pool bar, ordering coffee with plant based milk was completely normal. Small details like this make traveling vegan feel effortless.
Cocktails with a View: Spago at Marina Bay Sands
If you are looking for cocktails with a view, I can highly recommend Spago at Marina Bay Sands. The drinks were excellent, the atmosphere relaxed but elegant, and the views over the skyline made it feel like more than just a bar visit.
It was one of my favorite places to end the evening, especially after a full day of exploring. While it is definitely on the pricier side, the experience, service, and setting made it worth it.
Singapore showed me that vegan travel does not have to be complicated. Whether I wanted local food or familiar comfort dishes, I always found something that worked.
Between hawker centres, dedicated vegan restaurants, and coffee shops offering plant based milk as standard, eating vegan in Singapore felt easy, enjoyable, and well supported.
