Excellent shiitake rendang and more

Whole Earth has been a favorite of ours for years, with some of the best plant-based versions of classic Peranakan cuisine and other healthy creative dishes. They specialize is creative use of mushrooms in dishes that traditionally would use meat.

Our two go-tos are the shiitake rendang (the healthiest rendang we’ve had anywhere, and one of the tastiest) and the “nutty buah keluak” (which is almost never made vegan elsewhere, and is prepared in the slow, traditional way here but without animal products). These dishes make it clear why Whole Earth keeps earning the Michelin Bib Gourmand every year.

Other faves include, the sambal kangkong (or sambal eggplant), and the ngor hiang. The olive rice is very good, too.

Most of the menu items are vegan, but there are a few that contain dairy, egg, or honey. The dairy and egg items are marked on the menu with a tiny icon of a milk bottle or egg (so small they’re easy to miss so watch closely for them), but honey is not marked so it is best to ask.

Note the monkey head mushroom dishes are not vegan and apparently can’t be made vegan because the monkey head mushrooms they use are already prepared with milk.

Reservations recommended during peak mealtimes.

Enjoy!

Decent vegetarian food

Ordered the olive rice, Penang rendang, and sambal king. A bit pricey, but everything was delicious!

We wanted to order the Enchanted Forest but was told that it was not vegan since the mushroom was prepared with egg.

Pros: Variety of flavors

Cons: Relatively expensive

Great food and a must try in Singapore!

If you want to find out about the traditional Singaporean food, then it’s a must visit place!

Pros: The Rendang is amazing and a must try!, The rice is a lot, a small can easily be for 3.

Fancy restaurant nice food

Most of the vegan food in Singapore seems like food court. It’s one of the nice places for meeting friends. Price is quite expensive but taste nice.

Amazing

Some of the nicest plant-based food I’ve ever had. Shared the two person meal and all the food brought out tasted great and was so interesting. It’s not cheap, but it’s a Michelin star restaurant so expected to be on the more expensive side. Despite this we only paid $88 SPD and then $14 for drinks - I had lemongrass which was lovely, and the lemon iced tea was great too

Pros: Lots of vegan , Varied options , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive

Full of flavor!

First time trying Peranakan food & we enjoyed flavors we never tasted before. Had the crispy golden oats tofu, enchanted Forrest with monkey head mushrooms, brown rice & sour plum fizz drinks. Everything was delicious & my spouse doesn’t like spicy, so I got a side of sambal chili which was really good & spicy. Service was fantastic. Would go again to try other dishes.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly service , Large portions

Cons: A little pricey , Recommend making a reservation

Whole Earth

I last ate at this restaurant in October 2019 and loved it. My only regret was not eating more food when I was there. Maybe I’ll have to change that this week while I’m in Singapore! See attached photo of the delicious food I had here.

An entire treat !

We walked into this place on a Friday night after 20:30 and were quickly seated. We were overwhelmed with the selection of vegan food and ordered way too much but no regrets. We had a crispy tofu dish, the yam, olive rice, some greens. Service was incredibly efficient. Food was fresh and delicious.

Why u should stop eating meat

Nice is the understatement word to use for their food. Cheap is not in their forte. The presentation of food is heartwarming. Their menu as I seen it... It's vegan already. Dont know why it's still branded as vegetarian.

Pros: Exceptional food, Makes u do not miss meat, Good staff

Cons: Priceyyyyyy

4. Yam ring - not bad, worth trying

5. Enchanted forest - great, most recommended.

Awesome Peranakan dishes

It’s my 3rd time at Whole Earth, and I am loving the dishes. I have always ordered the signature dishes but will make sure I try new ones as well. There are so many choices and it’s best to go with a few people do you can order more varieties. I will be back again.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Wide variety of dishes , Tasteful and delicious

Cons: Prices mid range

Great Food

We walked in and there are around 2 tables left.
The food taste real good.
Despite the table is mostly occupied, waiting time is just a few minutes.

This comes with great price though. ~30 S$ per person.
I think It's good to have once in a while.

Pros: Food is good, Wide variety of food, Small waiting time

Cons: Expensive

A luscious treat for us all!

High quality, fast service, full of flavours, whole foods (no mock meat full of wheat gluten) and fresh foods - we all had a luxurious treat last night after dining here for dinner. We ordered the following-:

- Fried Oyster Mushrooms (delicious batter, highly recommend!)
- Enchanted Forest (perfect texture in the Hericium mushrooms, fantastic)
- Ngo hieng roll (excuse my spelling, I forgot how to spell it but this roll exceeded all of our expectations, my meat eating friend was the most impressed by it)
- Small Olive Rice (enough for 2 people, I don't eat much rice so it was perfect for the boys)
- Penang Rendang (extremely tasty, made with shiitake mushrooms - genius)

We also ordered 1 x hot and 1 x cold version of the vegan collagen dessert, because none of us had ever tried that before, let alone real collagen, so it was interesting! Very sweet with a nice depth of flavour. The cold press juice comes in a plastic bottle, to our surprise, so I wouldn't order that again. All in all, a fabulous meal, and a tasty treat for us all. It's a 1* Michelin Bib Gourmand, so expect to pay the prices of that too. Average price per dish is $21.

Pros: Vegan Peranakan dishes, Food comes out very quickly, All delicious

Cons: Expensive, but you get what you pay for!
