Vegetarian food doesn’t have to be dull, or by contrast so unhealthily prepared that it ends up being bad for you. At Elemen, vegetarian food gets a refined, elegant treatment, merging Western and Asian styles to coax flavours out of greens, beans, and everything in between to deliver plates that are sophisticated, beautiful, and delicious.

Located in the calm and quiet Millenia Walk, this is as Zen a meal as you’re going to get. Relying on the natural umami flavour of ingredients like mushrooms, fermented products, nuts, and herbs, the kitchen turns out elegant starters like Maca Soup, made from Peruvian Ginseng that’s known to energise the body, and Spinach Salad with Sesame Dressing. Vegetarian sushi rolls, like delicate shitake mushroom and purple rice maki, with its complex flavours and textures, more than make up for the lack of fish. There’s even pasta here, like Aglio Olio served with a beautiful serving of lightly charred baked bamboo, as well as a Salted Egg Pasta, a mound of linguine strewn with basil, tomatoes, and coated in rich salted egg sauce. If you’re looking for a healthy spot of tea, there’s even vegetable-based drinks like Lemongrass Latte and soothing Lavender Tea, perfect for those afternoons when coffee feels like too much of an imposition. Come feast on these delicate plates that will nourish you and your soul. (Sep 2019)
