86 Vegetarian Options in Singapore

Whether it’s for health, ethics or religion, there are numerous reasons why some of us might adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. Not only does a plant-based diet lower one’s risk of life-threatening diseases from a reduced intake of cholesterol and saturated fat, it also cuts one’s carbon footprint thus benefiting the environment. A concern over farming practices, too, have led some towards making meat-free choices, while others are driven it by their strong affinity for animals. Last but not least, religion plays a crucial role in shaping one’s dietary habits, which is why devout Buddhists and Hindus account for many of the vegetarians in Singapore.
