2013 Vegetarian Food Round-up and Awards
2013 has been a very productive year at hungryangmo.com. I am proud that I managed to maintain my dedication to the website, and churned out 112 posts in 2013, more than I have ever done. 2013 has been a sensational year for vegetarian food in Singapore. Therefore, to round-up 2013, I have decided to give my own little awards to the best eateries in a number of different categories.
This is just my personal opinion based on the places I have reviewed in 2013. If you have an opposing view point, I welcome your input in the comments section below.
Best Vegetarian Eatery
Winner - Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant
Gokul has improved massively in 2013. With new decor, menu, and improved customer service. It is the closest to perfection I have seen in an eatery.

Best 100% Vegan Eatery

Totally vegan eateries are still pretty hard to come by in Singapore, but Veggie Cottage is clearly as good gets for 2013.

Best Overseas (non-Singapore) Eatery
Winner - Tung Fong Siu Kee Yuen Vegetarian Restaurant (Hong Kong)
I've reviewed hundreds of vegetarian eateries all across the world, so for a place to 'wow' me, it takes a lot. This restaurant has been around for over 100 years, and serves simply mind-blowing dishes.

Best Vegetarian Dish
Winner - Laksa (YWQ Vegetarian Bistro)
Laksa is a dish you can find everywhere all over Singapore, but to find a truly outstanding laksa can be quite difficult. The laksa at YWQ is easily the best I have ever tried.

Best Value for Money

This was probably the most difficult category to pick a winner for. But looking back, Loving Heart Cafe offers high quality vegan food at affordable prices, so this eatery will be my pick for 2013.

Best Newcomer
Winner -Bespoke Japanese Vegetarian Restaurant
2013 has been a brilliant year for many new vegetarian eateries opening up. It was a tough choice, but Bespoke have been the most impressive newcomer, in my eyes.

Best Restaurant Ambiance
Winner - Veggie Cottage
Walk inside Veggie Cottage and for a moment you will forget you're in Little India, and think you are in a small side street cafe in France. Peaceful and calming atmosphere.

Best Service
Winner - Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant
I will be the first to admit that Gokul's service in the past did show room for improvement. Now in 2013, they have arguably the most efficient, attentive and knowledgeable staff on the island.

Most Inspirational Figure
Winner - Beatrice Wee (CERA)
Avoiding the lure of materialism, and leaping into the vegetarian business at just 23 years old requires a lot of bravery and courage. Read my full interview with her below.

Best Durian
Winner - Red Prawn (Muar)
2013 has been a year where I've indulged in a variety of weird and wonderful durian species. But the highlight has to be Muar's red prawn durian, I am shivering just thinking about it.

Honest, reliable, and easy to contact. Steven aka 'Ah Seng' has built up a solid reputation over the years, and still remains the king of the king of fruits in Singapore.
