Wondering where to eat vegan in Singapore? 

I’ve traveled to over 32 countries trying the vegan offerings. Here are 3 restaurants you should definitely hit if you’re looking to eat vegan in Singapore.

1. For a boujie, prix-fixe experience: Joie

One complaint I have as a vegan-ish gal who loves fine dining, is that there aren’t enough vegan fine dining restaurants. Often, the best vegan options tend to be served out of a food truck, or a fast-casual spot, or in a strip mall. So, when I find a fancy or date-night worthy vegan spot, I get extra excited, and Joie takes it up a notch by offering a six-course prixe-fix option.

Although Joie is vegetarian, not vegan, they are able to make most of their dishes vegan and have a separate dairy-free menu if you ask for it. 

The vibes match the menu in that the restaurant is located at the top of the Somerset mall with a nice view, outside seating so you can enjoy said view, and reasonably upscale vibes. 

Another thing I liked about Joie is that although they get a lil’ fancy with their dishes (and definitely pay a lot of attention to plating), the dishes are still mostly vegetable-forward rather than using faux meat or cheese substitutes. 

2. For gluten-free vegans: Cultivate

If you’re vegan and gluten-free, I feel for you, because sometimes the options at omnivore restaurants are basically just a very sad salad. At Cultivate, that is definitely not the case. You can eat caviar, cheese plates, and plenty of desserts, too.

Also, the vibes are super cute. It’s located in the Maxwell Reserve Singapore hotel, and the space looks like the library from Beauty and the Beast with dark, moody vibes and lots of books. 

I’m going to be honest, in terms of food taste, this was probably my least favorite of the three restaurants I listed in this blog post. The food wasn’t bad by any means, but nothing really “wow-ed” me. To be fair, they were working with a gluten-free handicap, and I did order some strange items — a caviar spread, cheese plate, pesto dip, and caesar salad. I did love the green juice though, so maybe stop by here for a snack if you’re not sure you wanna do a full meal here. 

3. For something for everyone: Real Food 

Real Food is one of those vegetarian spots that’s a safe bet. It’s located in a mall (like many restaurants in Singapore). The vibes aren’t boujie, but they’re not casual either. And the menu spans far and wide with a lot of classics and a lot of different cuisines — Indian, Chinese, Italian, and American. 

And, like many restaurants that cook food from a variety of cuisines, none of the food was life-changing, but it was all pretty good! My favorite thing we ordered was actually the apple tart we got for dessert — so don’t miss that!

In terms of vibes, I’d go on a date here and not feel weird about it if that helps set the scene. Like Cultivate, there were a lot of books as decor, but the vibe was lighter and brighter. This also seems like a decent spot to cowork. And if you want even more books, the iconic Library @ Orchard is located in this same mall, so you might want to check that out before you go eat. 

Like Joie and many of the spots on this list of vegan in Singapore restaurants, Real Food is vegetarian, not vegan, but they can of course accommodate vegans very easily and most of the menu is vegan! 

4. Hawker Stalls

If you’re eating vegan in Singapore, you should of course also check out the hawker stalls! I saw some vegetarian stalls at Maxwell’s Food Center and other hawker stalls, but you might want to have Google Translate handy to make sure that the stalls are able to accommodate vegan options. 

I found another blogger’s guide to vegan hawker food to try, so I’m linking it here if you wanna take a peek! 

Are there vegan in Singapore spots that I missed? 

I really wanted to visit Sexy Indian, but turns out it was permanently closed when I visited 🙁 

If you’re like me and have a saved list of all your “need to try” food spots on Instagram, I posted a reel with all these restaurants that you can save!

Instagram Spots Las Vegas: Get The Best Pics On Your Trip!

Las Vegas may get a bad rep as a party-centric destination, but it’s actually a great place to have a foodie frenzy, relax, and get GREAT Instagram photos. Just skip the clubs if it’s not your thing, wake up early (while all the party-goers are still hungover and asleep), and snap a bunch of awesome pics at the unique Vegas hotels, flashy neon signs, and drool-worthy restaurants. There’s no shortage of awesome photo spots on the strip, off the strip, and short drives into the desert—you just need to know where to look.

1. Fake a European Vacation At The Paris Hotel + Venetian

Want a euro-trip aesthetic but don’t have the $ or time to go to Italy? You can snap equally cute, wanderlust-worthy shots at some of Vegas’ hotels modeled to look like famous European cities. The Paris Hotel has a model of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triomphe, which both make excellent photo locations. The Venetian Hotel is inspired by Venice, with great photo spots in and out of the property—plus gondola rides for extra special snaps.

2. Pose With All The Kitschy, Flashy Signs

The “Welcome To Las Vegas” sign is one of the most obvious photo spots in Vegas, but if you love posing with cute signs, you’re in luck—because there are so many more! You can find a retro Vegas sign off the strip on East Fremont Street (next to Corduroy’s), or pose in all-white next to the Little White Chapel sign (which features Elvis on it). If that’s not enough, head to The Neon Museum for a bunch of old neon signs artfully placed in the middle of the desert.

3. Eat The Most IG-Worthy Foods

While Vegas’ famous buffets aren’t always the most Instagrammable, there are plenty of restaurants (and menu items) that are. Head to Black Tap for epic milkshakes (some that arrive with a whole slice of cake on top) or get Hello Kitty-shaped donuts at the Hello Kitty Truck outside of New York Hotel. Pose at the iconic entrances for Catch Las Vegas and The Mayfair Supper Club. For a pretty-in-pink afternoon tea, head to Mrs. Coco Cafe.

4. Befriend Some Florals

Vegas may not be known for its natural wildlife, but the Wynn Hotel makes up for it with an epic array of giant floral arrangements throughout the property (don’t miss their gardens). The Bellagio typically has great floral displays as well—both make great photo backdrops for your going-out outfits.

I hope this blog on Instagram Spots in Las Vegas helped inspire your Vegas photo journey! And don’t feel like you can’t get fab photos if you’re traveling solo—there are so many great tripods and remote-controlled photo tools on Amazon (some even move with you!).

Whether you’re starting from scratch or just moving down the block, moving into a new place can be a long and expensive process. Not just because of the physical moving itself, but because decorating a home is a full-time job (I mean, there’s a reason rich people hire interior designers, right?). I recently moved to a new place a few months ago, and I feel like I’m still not even close to finished decorating my spot. So, I wanted to share some of the first purchases I made to make my new house feel more like a home without spending a ton of money.

1. Easy, affordable wall art

Decorating your new home’s walls is a daunting task. First off, art is expensive, and don’t even get me started on framing. Second, it’s hard to decide where to commit to hanging stuff when you haven’t even finalized your furniture configurations yet. In my last apartment, I kept putting off wall art until it was time to move out, and I didn’t wanna fall into that trap again. So, I bought a bunch of prints (and accompanying frames) from Desenio. I specifically selected pieces that I could see matching in multiple rooms of my house, so that they could be versatile (I currently have this YSL heel shadow art hanging in my vanity area, but I feel like it would look just as cute in my office or in a gallery wall in my living room). I also got some plain frames for framing sentimental stuff like concert tickets or personal photos. If you’re still stuck, Desenio has a feature on their site for designing your own gallery wall, which I think is pretty cool for people who are not very confident in their interior designing skills (like me). You can also add Picture Hooks ($4.95) to your order so you have everything you need to start hanging things up!

2. Throw rugs + carpets

LOCHAS Luxury Round Fluffy Area Rug, $22 via Amazon

I know that marble and hardwood floors are all the rage (and I love them too), but something about walking on a carpet just feels warmer and more home-like. I got a little shag rug from Typo for my bathroom and I swear it transformed the entire room. It looks like they don’t have anymore sold right now (which is sad because I can’t find any other rugs with text on them like mine), but I found a similar one style-wise on Amazon!

3. Something that smells good

Stone Candle Bar Smells Like Pumpkin Spice Reed Diffuser, $20 (USE CODE ASH10 for 10% off)

I can’t lie, I love the wood-y smell that comes with new homes, but if you’re moving into a non-new home, you’re going to want to clear the air and freshen it up with your own scent. Candles give great scent, plus warm up the room (both physically and visually), but I always forget to put them out. Instead, I tend to gravitate towards diffusers, like this one from Stone Candle Bar (they also sell room sprays). If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can try Pura, a subscription-based scent plug-in product that allows you to control the scent (including the strength of it) from your phone.

4. Decoration-worthy snacks + drinks

Kosterina Extra Virgin Olive Oil, $38.95 via Amazon

Everybody wants an organized kitchen, but a kitchen with no food in sight kind of looks like it’s in a showroom rather than a home. Purchase a cute fruit bowl and fill it with your favorite fruits and veggies for a nice pop of color. Or, selectively choose olive oil bottles, wine, tea boxes, and spice containers that fit your aesthetic and look nice on your counter. I currently have been using Kosterina olive oil and I love the way it doesn’t look out of place on my white kitchen counters.

5. Boudoir Organization Tools

JACKCUBE DESIGN Hanging Jewelry Organizer, $19 on Amazon

When you’re staying at a hotel for the weekend, what does your bathroom counter look like? If you’re like me, it’s probably covered with toiletry bags, skincare products, makeup, jewelry, and maybe even hair or eyelash extensions. You do not want your bathroom counter at home to feel like a hotel room, but the only way to avoid this is to organize! If your bathroom drawers and medicine cabinets aren’t cutting it for you, grab some basic shelves from Amazon for extra storage space. I also love this jewelry shelf from Amazon that’s perfect for hanging necklaces off of—plus you can store skincare products (or just cute stuff) up top for decor!
