Food in Review: Singapore’s VeganBurg

Posted on 17 May 2012 at 8:08AM by Ashley Fruno

I’ve been on a plant-based diet for more than 15 years, and during that time, I’ve seen cruelty-free dining options transform from salads and plain rice to vegetarian versions of traditional meat dishes, nondairy desserts, and, best of all, vegan burgers! It doesn’t get more vegetarian-friendly than dining out in Singapore. I found my first love here at VeganBurg: the best vegan burgers—ever. They’re fresh and unique! This is a vegan heaven if there ever were one!

So here’s a roundup of the vegan burgers available at VeganBurg:

1. Char-Grilled Satay
Treat yourself to an exotic blend of nuts, spices, and herbs. The vegan patty is juicy and flavorful. What gives this burger extra points is the crunchy onion rings and crisp lettuce that somehow manage not to overpower the taste of the patty.

2. Cracked Pepper Mayo
I call this burger “the classic.” It takes me back to my childhood days, when I remember eating burgers that were simple but very memorable. There’s something about its crispy and moist vegan patty that keeps me coming back for more! It’s perfect with the crispy potato-and-spinach pops.

3. Hawaiian Pineapple
The sweet aroma of the pineapple slice mixed with sweet plum sauce on this burger is definitely a winner for me. The soya patty’s texture is chewy and tender—just heavenly!

4. Creamy Pepper Shrooms
This burger is one of the bestsellers! It started out as a limited-edition burger, but because of its popularity, it’s now a staple on the menu.

5. Smoky BBQ
This one is the so-called “meat-eaters favorite.” The patty is made of minced mushrooms, oven-baked, and topped with smoky barbecue sauce, crisp fresh lettuce, and tomatoes.
