This vegetarian food guide will try to describe to you two things. One of them is the typical vegetarian foods that people consume and what makes up a vegetarian food diet. The second part of this article will recommend to the vegans and partial vegetarians out there where to find good vegetarian food in Singapore. Vegetarian food is made up of several things. The first is whole grain foods, which come in the form of stuff like cereals, corn, wheat, oats, rice and products that include pasta, bread and even the Mexican tortilla.

Walking along Boat Quay the other day, I was amazed at the sheer size and collection of restaurants that served live seafood. Now when I say they served live seafood, I meant that diners can literally see their dish walking along tanks, tied with raffia string as they squirm with each other inside those plexi glass prisons as the waiters proudly show them in their ‘after’ states.

Food delivery used to be just left to the business of fast food operators and those who could actually afford to hire the necessary resources to ensure that they get island wide coverage. The logistics of it all is quite expensive to maintain, and you need to ensure that the food that gets to the door step of the house is just as good as the food that comes to the table at the restaurant. Singapore has changed and there has been a shift in our eating habits. While we still like to go out and eat, there is quite a large percentage of us working professionals and even the normal person on the street, that prefer to be in the comfort of our homes when we are eating our favourite food. And the industry has sportingly responded with an explosion of delivery services.

Buffet catering is like a magical word on an invitation or an event that adds that ‘draw’ factor for people to come and enjoy the festivities. Its customisability, ‘own time own target’ factor truly appeals to the eater at heart. Not everyone likes to wait for their food in stages, course dinners or lunches are sometimes quite slow and do not fit the pace of everyone at the table.
