Next to Original Sin, LivinGreens is my favourite vegetarian restaurant. I go to the former when there’s extra cash in the wallet, and to the latter when I just want to have a deliciously-healthy (ya, these 2 words are not mutually exclusive, contrary to popular belief) meal without breaking the piggy bank.
I’m already a regular here and I’ll always, always order the LivinGreens lasagna ($8.50), which is wheat-, gluten- and dairy-free. Every slice of the lasagna contains fresh tomatoes, green and red peppers, carrots, mushroom, and every slice is lip smackingly good with a well-balanced flavour and texture. This is the most sinless lasagna ever created!
The LivinGreens burger ($8) also appears on our table frequently. While the patty is tasty packed with lots of veggies, the homemade bun has a “neither here nor there” texture. It’s not soft but neither was it dense. It’s just… Different. Either you like it or you don’t. It’s not exactly my favourite bread around so you know where I stand =)
And as usual, we ordered our must-have desserts: Avocado Pudding ($4) that combines so perfectly with a syrup of gula melaka and molasses and Black Sesame Pudding ($3.50) that’s incredibly fragrant and has such a smooth texture and clean flavour.
There’s daily specials everyday and if I happen to drop by on a Friday, the fabulous pumpkin pie takes precedence over my beloved trusty lasagna!
Thanks for this review! There is one beside Leong Kee Bak Kut Teh, and hubby and I were scared of going in, as it sounds very healthy haha. But that lasagna looks good and with bonus point, it’s healthier!
Oopsie, i didn’t check the address you went, so we’re talking of the same location 🙂
You are always so healthy, puts me to shame. Will go try the lasagna and avocado pudding soon.
i was never tempted to try vegetable lasagna but surely will after reading your post! the desserts look lovely as well (:
Oh nice! I really want to try this place. Is the pumpkin pie savoury?
i like that place! i had the mushroom soup and the vegetarian sushi roll ^^
Hungry Trotters: Haha, my mom is like you! She thinks the food is too healthy so whenever sis and I wanna eat there, she’ll go to that bak kut teh stall instead -_-
PY: Oh no, I’m not always healthy.. Just on selective days hah. And I don’t exercise so I try to be healthier in my diet.
stargirl: Hope you will like them too!
m.eats: Ya, it’s savoury! If I’m not wrong, the crust is made of chickpea instead of the usual combi of flour+butter. Love it lots.. Especially since it’s so hard to find a healthy version of the pie in Singapore.
c: Nice!! I’ve never tried their soup before. The sushi roll sounds good, I’ll try it next time =)
