Review: The food here was good, but extremely overpriced for what it is. I simply can't believe the prices they are charging in comparison to the portion sizes. But to make matters much worse, they actually charge you for the "complementary" snack that sits on your table when you arrive!! In virtually every other restaurant on planet earth, these little appetizers are free, but not at this place. Worse yet, you don't find out that you are paying $3 for the smallest little portion of seaweed chips you've ever seen until after your bill comes. I was flabbergasted! This is coercive and unethical! You can't charge people for something anyone in their right mind would expect to be complementary! On this alone I won't be returning to the restaurant, which isn;t even mentioning the warehouse, empty room atmosphere. This is not an inviting environment to eat it.
Pros: Decent food * Decent service *
Cons: Extremly overpriced * Hidden surprises on your bill. * Poor atmosphere |

Review: tasty, fresh, not oily and superb flavours! Location could be better but the trip is worth it! All my friends and family are impressed and they are not vegetarians. Price is reasonable considering the quality. So for all vegetarians and non-vegetarians, this is IT! MUST GO!
Pros: excellent food * fresh food * good value
Cons: * * |

Review: 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.
And 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! * * |

Review: Great food!!!!
As you come off the busy Geylang road, you enter Whole Earth, the complete opposite to the busy life outside.
Compared to the other veggie places in theis area, you have nice decor and a great atmosphere. Good variety of dishes, with many recommendations. Dishes cost from gbp5/usd10, and good selection of tea/fruit juices.
A must!!!
Pros: good food * nice staff *
Cons: * * |

Review: 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.
The 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 *
Cons: * * |

Review: 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.
Prices 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. * * |

Review: Tried it a couple of years ago, and I remember thinking that it was no big deal. Went back recently again, and liked mostly what we had. They have a good selection on their menu, and we ordered mostly peranakan -- this is probably the only restaurant in Singapore serving vegetarian pernakan food, and they're good. The only dish I didn't enjoy was their curry lamb (?)... maybe because we ordered too much.
Pros: Peranakan options! * Wide variety. * Tasty food
Cons: Parking hard to find * Stroller unfriendly * |
