I love spicy food and this Nonya Curry Fish is just perfect since it’s drowned in Assam sauce and ladies finger/ okra.

Enter the Divine Realm

Singapore cuisine is heavily influenced by the ethnic diversity of the country and some of the most tasty food are hidden in hawker centres – not your fancy air conditioned restaurants.

If you live around Hougang, Divine Vegetarian Family Restaurant is the place to get your local fix.

The real Kuay chap contains pig offal and braised duck meat but thank goodness the vegetarian version has none of these.

This Teochew dish is made of flat, broad rice sheets in soup with dark soy sauce, bean curds and for ovo-vegetarians, braised hard-boiled eggs.

Other must try dishes include Mee Siam, Hokkien Mee and Carrot Cake, click more to find out.

Return to innocence @ Naive

Most meat eaters would smirk if their friend suggests bringing them to a restaurant that serves purely plant based ingredients with no meat, no seafood, no eggs, no onion, no garlic and no MSG.

To my delight, my friends who are not vegetarians have recommended to catch up for lunch at Naive.

Once you step into the clean and cool interiors, you’ll notice that the restaurant is filled with artwork by local artists.

Before we began our meals, we had to take part in a sesame seed blessing ceremony to de-stress so we could experience its food to the fullest.

The Japanese inspired ‘bloss’ ceremony encourage diners to grind the sesame seeds using the mortar and pestle for a few minutes that can then be sprinkled onto their food.

Naive has some of the most creative names for its dishes, click more to find out what is Cheeky Monkey, Autumn Cloud or Pocket of Treasures.
