Every now and then, Jhon and I like to try different kinds of food and this time, we decided to try a Vegetarian Burger.
Being a meat lover that we are, I think it would be an interesting experience.
It would be a first time for me and I always wanted to try how it really tastes like since I have heard that if it is done properly, you can hardly taste the veggie. As for Jhon, his first try was back at his place in the Philippines and he utterly hated it until he had to vomit it out. D=
When I noticed a new vegetarian restaurant has opened/opening a couple months back, I eagerly insisted that we should try since the place is located 5-10 minutes from our house! [Details later]
Naturally, Jhon was hesistant from his first encounter but he managed to summon his strength and decided to give vegetarian burger one more try.

Vegan Burg is a fast food restaurant with a twist and there is no need of clue what makes them special.
They serve only the freshest and healthy vegetarian food.
Now, before some of you cringe thinking of those green leafy vegetables, think again. Their aim is to introduce plant based diet in a much more fun, young and vibrant concept.
I promise you, when I show you some of their menus, the last thing you would do is cringe. You would probably go "fuuuwarr!"
Vegan Burg is located in a cosy corner opposite Eunos MRT station with a chilled and calm ambience.
Now, the menu, thus far, have 5 types of burgers to choose from and also provide a kid's meal, perfect for families that consists of children or maybe people with small appetite? hehe
Yummmy right? They don't even look like its all made of purely vegetables and these are only part of the menu because they also serve Vegan Hotdog, soups etc.
Jhon ordered the Cracked Pepper Mayo and Smoky BBQ meals.
While waiting for the food to arrive, we tasted our drinks.
Mine was Cherries Berries which was a standard fresh juice so there was nothing much for me to comment.
Jhon ordered Premium Brewed Coffee and he said it was pretty good mostly because he can taste and tell that the coffee beans are freshly brewed.
While checking out the rest of the place, absorbing the athmosphere with a board of Vegan related issues etc...
The food arrived!
Firstly, the fries were heavenly. If you are a fan of crunchy fries, you would love these!
Crunchy exterior and soft interior, I simply can't stop munching on them.
The burgers were pre-cut into half which was convenient for Jhon and I to swap burgers. hehe
Smoky BBQ:
"A thick patty of succulent minced mushrooms, oven-baked and slathered in smokey BBQ sauce, coupled with layers of fresh lettuce, tomato and alfalfa, nestled within the softest organic rye bread you’ll ever savour. Simply delectable!"
My first bite was slightly weird because my brain has already hot-wired itself, expecting that meaty taste from eating a burger. As I took my 2nd bite, my brain was struggling with adapting with this new taste. It was as if fixing a circle into a triangle hole.
After the 3rd and 4th bite, I was hooked. Although it was not as BBQ-y as I expected it to be, I can't deny that I thoroughly enjoyed it especially the fresh lettuce, tomato and minced mushrooms.
Jhon obviously love it. As I was savouring half of his burger, he had already finished my half!
Cracked Pepper Mayo:
"Savour the robust flavour of our Cracked Pepper Mayo Burger! With a wonderfully crispy, yet moist Vegan patty, accompanied by fresh lettuce, our Cracked Pepper burger will entice you with its alluring aroma, and keep you hooked with its bold flavour."
Fuh! I lovvvvvee the Cracked Pepper Mayo. Perfect amount of pepper, accompanied by fresh lettuce & mayo. What I love the most is the crispy outerlayer of the Vegan patty.
If I were to choose a Vegan burger to introduce to a first timer, it would definitely the Cracked Pepper Mayo.
Now the price...
It maybe a tad costlier than your standard fast food restaurant, between Jhon and I, it costs us approximately S$20 but we find it was worth it.
Why? Because Organic Vegetables are never cheap in the first place but they are the freshest kind you can find. Plus, you will leave the place full and satisfied without feeling the guilt of eating oily and fatty food!!
By the way, deliveries are coming soon!
Oh yeah, we were so engrossed with our delicious food that we didn't realised this.
We have been resting against synthetic grass. hehe
[Please don't mind our after work faces.]
If you have a craving to eat a flavorful, juicy burger but without that guilty feeling of eating fatty foods,
We will definitely eat there again. ;)
P/S: Jhon was enjoying the burgers so much that he dramatically declared that he wants to be a vegetarian for a year. haha
My wife was just talking about it last night...
