How to Survive as a Vegetarian in Singapore
If you’re about to move to or visit Singapore, you might be wondering, is it easy to be a vegetarian in Singapore?
The answer to that is a resounding YES!
40% of Singaporeans are reported to have an almost entirely plant-based diet and consume meat and animal products ‘occasionally’.
If you read our guides on living in Singapore and Singapore on a budget you’ll see why being a vegetarian in Singapore is not only easy but makes a lot of financial sense!
Significant parts of Singapore’s population are Indian and Malaysian, many of whom are vegetarian. Additionally, large parts of the Chinese communities are Buddhists who also enjoy vegetarian and vegan diets.
With so many vegetarian, Malaysian, Indian and Chinese citizens, Singapore has earned itself a top position as one of the most vegetarian and vegan-friendly countries globally!
To be a vegan or vegetarian in Singapore is very straight forward and you shouldn’t have any troubles acquiring all of the ingredients and meals to keep your lifestyle going.
Here are some tips, tricks and restaurants and cafes to help with being a vegetarian in Singapore.

Vegetarian in Singapore – Tips & Tricks
So you’ve just landed in warm and sunny Singapore – what’s a vegetarian to do in this new and exotic land? There’s no need to start panicking – we’re here to help.
TIP #1 Orientate yourself with your local supermarket.
Singapore’s two major supermarket chains are FairPrice and Cold Storage. One or both of these supermarkets is where you’ll be getting ingredients for your pantries.
For example, beans, grains, tofu, nuts, vegetable stock, oils, canned goods and pasta.
Both FairPrice and Cold Storage come in many different shapes and sizes. For this reason, there might be more options in one supermarket compared to others.
Both supermarkets offer free delivery with orders over a certain amount ($59 @ Cold Storage & $79 @ Fair Price). Therefore, if you’re planning to stock up when you first arrive, it might be worth getting the staple ingredients in bulk right away.
TIP #2 Go To Mustafa’s in Little India
Mustafa‘s in Little India is what I imagine supermarkets like Walmart in the USA are like – THIS PLACE IS HUGE and sells (almost) everything!
Mustafas is known for being the most comprehensive and reasonably priced shopping centre in Singapore.
While Mustafa stocks goods like jewellery, electronics, clothes, cosmetics, toiletries, medicine, stationery, furniture, books, and WAY WAY more – One of their most extensive sections is their supermarket.
For the bulk-buying, time and money-saving vegetarian in Singapore. Mustafa’s is well worth a visit!
BONUS | Mustafa’s is open 24/7! I wouldn’t recommend going to Mustafa’s between 4 PM – 9 PM as these are prime after work shopping hours. The more obscure the day and time (such as 8 AM Monday), the more leisurely you shopping at Mustafa’s will be.
TIP #3 Go To Specialty Vegan/Vegetarian Stores
While the major supermarkets can provide you with regular and convenient foods, they lack the niché products that vegetarians in Singapore might be craving.
For this, you can turn to the specialty vegetarian supermarkets of Singapore:
- Everyday Vegan Grocer
- Friendly Vegetarian
- Green Common
- Ixora Vegetarian
- KBL Organic & Vegetarian Supermarket
- Super Nature
- Vegan Dome Singapore
- Yi Shan Vegetarian & Organic Products
TIP #4 Buy Your Fruit And Vegetables at Wet Markets
All over Singapore, there are Hawker centres that sell a variety of delicious meals at affordable prices! Connected to the Hawker centres are wet markets.
The government subsidises wet markets, and fruit and vegetables aren’t taxed as heavily as other goods in Singapore.
This makes Wet Markets the perfect location to buy all the fresh produce you’ll ever need in Singapore!
Unlike supermarkets, the store owners know their products like the back of their hands.
They relish the opportunity to tell you where their stuff has come from, what’s fresh and of high value.
BONUS: if you frequent these wet markets and are friendly with the store owners, you’ll be sure to find a bit extra thrown into your shopping.
TIP #5 When you see a product you know and love in a Supermarket, buy double, even triple the amount!
One of the most frustrating things about supermarket shopping is products missing from shelves for weeks or even months.
We’re not talking about staple goods like bread and dairy, but rather imports from far away.
Fun Fact about Singapore – Over 90% of their foods are imported!
Most of the fresh produce comes from Malaysia and Indonesia, relatively close countries; however, non-fresh produce shipped from far away sells like hotcakes when they arrive and might not be replenished for some time.
When you see your favourite cereal or gluten-free pasta, buy enough to last you a month or two.

TIP #6 Indian Food
If you didn’t know already, Indian food is a vegetarian’s paradise.
Lucky for you, Indian Singaporeans make up roughly 10% of the countries citizens, and delicious, authentic, vegetarian Indian food is abundant all over the island.
Most Hawker centres have at least one (sometimes more) vegetarian Indian cuisine stall with some of the best curries you’ve ever had in your life.
TIP #7 Use Delivery Apps
Why search high and low for vegetarian food in Singapore when the food can come to you?
There are 3 main apps for food delivery in Singapore:
- GrabFood
- Deliveroo
- FoodPanda
Each has pretty competitive delivery rates, as well as coupons and deals for off-peak eating if you’re okay with a late lunch or early dinner.
Best of all each of these Singapore apps has a ‘vegetarian’ search allowing you to search all of the vegetarian food in your area.
Cheap and Good Vegetarian Food in Singapore
Hopefully, with the tips and tricks listed above, you should be feeling semi-confident in your ability to be a vegetarian in Singapore.
You might also be wondering what are some of the cheap and good vegetarian food in Singapore?
The good news is, Singapore being the HUGE international trading hub that it is, has attracted people from all over the world to this tiny island.
With them came their culinary skills. Of course, Singapore is smack in the middle of south-east Asia and therefore has some of the great dishes from the region, but there are a few cuisines that have travelled a bit further that are now part of any vegetarian in Singapore’s diet.
Here are list of our favourite cheap and good vegetarian food in Singapore (in alphabetical order):

Acai Bowls, if you missed the health craze back in the 2000s are smoothie-like dishes with flash-frozen acai berries and a mix of fruit, granola, nuts and seed.
You’ll find a lot of acai bowls available in Singapore but probably none better than at Project-Acai found in 3 locations around Sigapore.
Burritos 🇲🇽
Burritos (if you’ve been living under a rock) is Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine that is made with a flour tortilla with ingredients like rice, beans, vegetables, cheese (optional) and condiments like salsa and guacamole.
For vegetarians, it can be a filling and cost-saving food! In Singapore Stuffed & Guzman are the 2 most popular chain restaurants.

Dosai 🇮🇳
Dosai are thin pancakes or crepes (if you’re fancy) that originated from Southern India.
These thin pancakes are savoury and served with a mix of lentils, rice and chutney.
Dosai’s taste varies among vendors but is guaranteed to be a healthy and delicious vegetarian meal in Singapore.
Dumplings 🇨🇳
An LTL favourite is a good old fashioned dumpling! So much so we have an entire guide on how to make dumplings.
This classic Chinese dish is very prominent in Singapore and you’ll do no better than a freshly made 小笼包 or a local dumpling restaurant.
Godo-Gado 🇮🇩
With Indonesia being a swift 30-minute ferry ride away and thousands of Indonesians calling Singapore home.
It should come as no surprise you’ll find plenty of cheap and tasty Indonesian vegetarian foods available, one of those being none other than ‘Godo-Gado’.
Gado-gado is an Indonesian salad of raw, slightly boiled, blanched or steamed vegetables and hard-boiled eggs, boiled potato, fried tofu and tempeh, and lontong (rice wrapped in a banana leaf), served with a peanut sauce dressing.

Salad Bowls 🥗
Okay, so a salad bowl might not sound like an exciting option for cheap and good food in Singapore.
However, the salad bars in Singapore are quite competitive! Meaning quality is up, and the price is down!
An LTL after work favourite is The Daily Cut, a DIY salad bar where you’re in control of the size, base, protein, supplements, toppings and dressing of your salad.
All made to order with fresh ingredients before your very eyes.
Think Subway Sandwiches but with salad.
