Few vegan options, small portion size - Edit
Only chicken rice and asam fish are vegan, very small portion size. $9 for small plate of chicken rice is overpriced, can get two or more portions cheaper at most hawkers. Tastes quite standard, very oily chilli sauce.

Best nasi lemak in Singapore - Edit
1. Nasi lemak
Read moreTheir nasi lemak has been voted as the best nasi lemak in Singapore by VSS members 2021, everything was just on point for me, really the best nasi lemak in Singapore, most recommended.
2. Truffle La Mian
One of their signature dishes, flavourful enough, recommended.
3. Laksa La Mian
For me i like it, as the spiciness was there, generous portion too, recommended.
4. Chicken sesame oil mee sua
Really good, tastes as good as the real non-vegetarian one, recommended

Veg bak chor mee - Edit
The veg bak chor mee was light and yummy - the bak chor was crumbled tau kwa (extra protein, yay!)
Read moreLots of vegetarian alternatives to local delights too. You may need to ask which are vegan though.

Rendang Nasi Lemak - Edit
8.5/10
Read more*I request without egg.
Overall it is nice but I wish that the "otah" and "rendang" could be a little less salty.
Rice is fragrance but a little "wet" to personal liking.
Definitely will dine at Grove Cafe again.
Ps. The truffle lamian looks good too.

Not too much variety and place is a bit stuffy as Aircon is not cool enough. However, the delicious food made up for everything.

RECO! decent AND healthy chewy la mian! 🍜🌱 - Edit
came with low expectations from the reviews but i’ve to say i’m a quite impressed! well-furbished place with large seating area and friendly staff. menu has clearly labelled vegan options too (tho limited options ☹️)
Read moreloved how we left feeling healthy and satisfied 🤍 la mian noodles are chewy and yummy too. good place for a healthy hearty meal.
here’s what we ordered:
1. truffle la mian $8.80 [vegan] 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
1st of all, i can barely taste the truffle 😂. but i can overlook that as the sauce is really good! generous portion of mushrooms and la mian, topped with sweet nai bai cabbage.
2. herbal la mian $7.80 [vegan] 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i forgot to take a pic of this 🤦🏻♀️. clear broth with a moderate herbal flavour! served nice and warm. i can’t quite put how i feel about it in words but it’s worth a try! yumz
3. braised mushroom (lu rou) la mian $6.80 [vegetarian] 👍🏻👍🏻
egg can be omitted to make it vegan but do note eggs are still cooked in the same broth as the other ingredients! i’m personally not comfortable with that, but i heard it tastes good!
4. laksa la mian $7.80 [vegetarian] 👍🏻
same situation as above. didn’t try it but i heard it tasted fine! geylang stall is still definitely the go-to place for vegan laksa!
5. kaya butter toast [vegetarian]
6. hot/cold homemade barley $1 (w set meal) $2.40 (ala carte)
the traditional kind, pretty good! not overly sweet either. lots of barley pearls too yasss ☺️
overall, i enjoyed my meal there! a little pricey but given the environment, quality of the ingredients and good portion, is say it’s rather worth it! would love to see more vegan options on the menu in the future!
Pros: large portion , friendly staff, vegan options labelled
Cons: poor ventilation (has a little smell), long waiting time, small menu/limited vegan options

Great range delicious foods - Edit
First time eating at this cafe. As the kitchen is an open style concept, was greeted by a very friendly male chef upon getting our foods and leaving the cafe. Try their new item braised mushroom rice and find it nice with the rich texture of the braised starch. Ordered the Rendang curry w blue pea nasi lemak set, and I must say the the blue rice was very fragrance. They use monkey head mushroom in the rendang curry which was not too spicy. Most importantly for nasi lemak is also the chilli itself which was very tasty.
Read morePros: Good selection of noddles and main, Friendly staffs

Not worth it - Edit
I originally started going to this place when it was just in Punggol. Since then they have changed the menu a few times and it's gotten worse with each change. The last time I went, I was given the wrong dish and I wound up with a tomato noodle something or other. It was pretty much watered down warm ketchup on some noodles with a slice of tomato. It's what convinced me never to go here again.
Read moreWho knows though, maybe they'll change the menu again and bring in something good.
Pros: vegetarian
Cons: Everything is slightly sweet, lots of single use plastic, not worth the money

Some dishes are quite salty - Edit
Good to see veg options in shopping malls. However the bento dishes and the noodles were quite salty. Also tried the dimsum during afternoon tea though it was also on the salty side. They have pre-packed bentos too (I prefer the avocado one) as it is a convinient and healthy option (this one is not salty) and they can heat it up for you if you need. They also come up with new dishes on and off.

Great fusion food cafe - Edit
We had Dry Truffle Ramen Noodle and Dry Kung Pao Ramen Noodle. Added a drink each which made the total about $10+ each. Pretty good price considering its in an air-con shopping mall which is really close to the MRT.
Read moreThe Dry Truffle Ramen Noodle had a good amount of truffle oil and some truffle shavings in the middle. It was a delicious dilemma for me to decide if I wanted to mix in the shavings or just savor one big bite :D. The Dry Kung Pao Ramen Noodle was flavorful and yummy! Ramen on both were springy enough to give great texture without being too hard.
There are a ton of fusion food flavors that seem really interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying them all!
Pros: Yummy fusion food, Decent prices for cafe ($10+)

Good Alternative to Green Dot (Update) - Edit
If you are vegan, i'd recommend GroVe over Green Dot because they are more open to customising an order to make it vegan (unlike GD who has been very inconsistent with their claims on what is in their food).
Read morehowever, taste-wise i do feel that GroVe's soups are not as flavourful and the drinks are far too sweet.
Update on 29 April 2018:
I tried the tomato spinach noodle soup today, and I think their food has improved!
Definitely will patronise more frequently.
However, for the bento dishes, they aren't labelled at all, so customers have to ask which are not suitable for vegans.
But thankfully the servers are educated enough.

great food, very accommodating staff! - Edit
Tried the truffle dry noodles and tomato spinach noodles and samosas. All awesome! The truffle noodles were particularly tasty it would linger in your buds. The tomato noodle was milder yet equally satisfying. Serving is great for sharing too.
Read morePros: helpful and accommodating staff, clean and refresh
Cons: the bentos were only available at 530pm at the tim

What’s their secret? - Edit
Grove is a go-to for a good one bowl meal! Dry Truffle Noodle (S$8.8), simple awesome! What’s their secret? Is it the noodle? Is it the truffle oil? Is it …? The best way to find out would probably be taste it, enjoy it.
Read moreDry Kung Pao Noodle (S$6.8), is one of my favourites. Simple lunch yet feel great.
