The forerunner in the vegan trend here in Singapore is VeganBurg which serves only plant-based fare. Its Avocado Beetroot burger comprises a delicious soy patty (crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside), served with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and, the key ingredients: avocado and beetroot. You have the option of choosing either the wholemeal bun or a lettuce wrap. We’re happy to say that the burger was bursting with flavour, and they don’t skimp on the avo and beets.
