Tucked next to Mama Patisserie, Tracy Juice Culture offers some of the healthiest and heartiest creations. Among them, I particularly enjoyed their fruit curry udon topped with dragon fruit slices.
They focus on freshly pressed juices and nutritious vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes. The mushroom udon with a rich umami flavor and the fiber-packed wild rice congee are must-tries.
Don’t miss their amazing apple wheat juice. It combines organic wheatgrass, zesty green lemon, crisp apple, pineapple, and kumquat for a burst of health and flavor.

Herbivore is a vegetarian spot that defies expectations with its Japanese-inspired menu. Despite its name, it offers a variety that might trick you into thinking it’s a traditional Japanese eatery.
It offers creative spins on classic dishes like “unagi”, made with tofu and prepared with a secret recipe to mimic the taste of real unagi. I loved their standout tempura cold cha soba (non-dairy) with its crisp veggie tempura.
Their salmon sashimi (non-dairy) made from yam paste blew me away. It looked incredibly convincing!

Living Wholesome Vegetarian is a health-conscious haven known for its Hakka thunder tea—a hearty mix of greens, tofu, bean sprouts, and your choice of brown rice or bee hoon, in a green tea-infused broth with herbs.
Their innovative twist on thunder tea rice features a “tea” blend without the usual tea leaves, incorporating almonds, cashews, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds for a nutty and aromatic experience.
I discovered their vibrant vegan-friendly version of lei cha—a must-try whether you’re new to it or a seasoned fan.

Since 1970, Pine Tree Café has been offering a spicy delight with its mala xiang guo (spicy numbing stir-fry pot), featuring veggies, mock meats, noodles, and peanuts.
I also enjoyed the thunder tea rice, which offered a clean, fiber-rich contrast to the spicy mala dish. The mee rebus impressed me with its rich gravy, while the nasi lemak with sambal-fried long beans had me scraping my plate clean.
