Vegan / Plant-Based

Lee Wee & Brothers has teamed up with Quorn, to launch their new halal, meat-free Nasi Lemak Kosong & Otah Kosong. Both newly-launched products are made from mycoprotein, a nutritious fungus that is rich in fiber and low in saturated fat. Yes, this means they’re vegan friendly!

Each Nasi Lemak Kosong set consists of coconut rice, 2pcs of meat-free chicken bites, meat-free luncheon meat, meat-free otah (otah kosong), cucumber, peanuts and meat-free sambal chilli! It was surprisingly enjoyable! I felt the meat-free luncheon meat and otah kosong tasted closest to the real thing, and the meat-free sambal chilli was really shiok! I would say this is a good option for flexitarians venturing into meat-free alternatives and for ‘carnivores’ like myself, it’s worth trying once in awhile.

PROMO: From now till 7 June 2022, each Nasi Lemak Kosong set is selling at $6.50 (U.P. $7.20), while the Otah Kosong is selling at $1 per stick. Available at all Lee Wee & Brothers outlets!

Have you tried Impossible Pork? It’s a new product from Impossible Foods that’s now available at Tim Ho Wan. It’s chock full of protein but contains fewer calories, less fat and zero cholesterol but still tastes just like pork! Here’s what I had from this new collaboration:

~Steamed Impossible Pork Teochew Crystal Dumplings (3pcs for $8.00)
~Deep-fried Impossible Pork Sesame balls (3pcs for $7.00)
~Steamed Impossible Pork Mushroom & Chives Bun (3pcs for $7.00)
~Pan-Fried Impossible Pork Pickled Mustard Greens Dumplings (3pcs for $8.00)

I have to admit I didn’t have much expectations before trying these dishes, but I was left pleasantly surprised how good they tasted - as much as the real deal! My personal favourite amongst the 4 dishes is the Deep-fried Impossible Pork Sesame balls. It’s made with QQ skin, filled with Impossible Pork, chopped carrots and onions. It's crispy and sweet!

You’ll get a complimentary limited edition Dim Sum Tote Bag with any purchase of 2 Impossible Pork Dim Sum Dishes. Available at all outlets from now till 31 Dec 21, and also for delivery via @grabfoodsg, @foodpandasg, @deliveroo_sg, and @oddleeats.

We went to Three Buns to check out the plant-based nuggets (named ‘Nugg It’ in the menu) from ALTN! Made from a mixture of plant-based proteins including soy, pea and fungus, they legitimately (I’m not even kidding lol!) taste like the real deal and are so crispy & yummy too! Dip it in the Korean BBQ sauce or classic Smokey BBQ sauce for that extra oomph! You guys gotta try it to believe it!

These nuggets are available all day on the menu at Three Buns and Potato Head Singapore.
