EXPLAIN IT:
Not just another “eco-chic” fad, this vegetable-based diet has
become increasingly popular with those keen on keeping up a healthy lifestyle.
Along with a focus on fresh, uncooked ingredients comes a greater interest in
the quality of farm produce, which in turn encourages greater support of local
farming communities.
WHAT IS IT?
Raw food
ENJOY IT:
at Afterglow
One of the latest additions to the quirky Keong Saik Road, this new café
and lifestyle concept store promotes farm-to-table food that has undergone as
little processing as possible. Half of the menu offers vegetarian and raw food,
as well as many vegan options made with nut-cheese and nut-yoghurt, made
fresh in-house in batches each week.
And never has a plant-based diet tasted this good. We couldn’t stop picking
at the
raw vegan nut “cheese” platter with crackers
($16) – exceedingly
tasty and moreish. Another must-try is the smooth
broccoli soup
($16), blended
fresh rather than boiled to maintain maximum nutritional value. For mains, the
deconstructed sushi bowl
($16) with seasoned pickles, shiitake mushrooms,
avocado and miso dressing is delicious and great to share. Dessert doesn’t
disappoint, either. Try the
tiramisu with cashew cream
($10); we vouch it
may even taste better than the real thing. You can also enjoy a variety of
cold-
pressed juices
which are pressed daily – choose from spinach- or beetroot-
based ($6-12).
