Greendot was all started out from a school canteen stall since 2011 and currently they have ventured commercially into a few malls like Bedok Mall, Paya Lebar Sqaure & Westgate. Their flag ship outlet is located in Paya Lebar Square, occupying 3 units space on the 2nd Level.

She is founded by young entrepreneurs aged 23 (during then), Fu Yong Hong and his good friend Justin Chou, a vegetarian food enthusiast.

The aim of Greendot is not about converting people into vegetarians but rather, encourage people to have a well balance and flexible diet. They are promoting healthier diet and hopefully more people can eat less meat and embrace a green diet.

Looking for traditional menu? Yes, they do have! But they do also have a handy electronic menu that is attached to every table where you can order.

In the search of good tea, entrepreneurs of Greendot had went into mountainous areas in Taiwan, meeting tea planters and learn about the process of tea planting. Finally, they narrowed down to a collection of 12 teas and we had enjoyed here was a teapot of fragrant Oolong Tea from Alisan, Taiwan. Its color as well as taste was way different than those usual Oolong tea I had. The after taste of it keeps the mouth refresh in its sweetness and makes the throat feel smooth.

Honey Peach Oolong Tea is my personal favourite. In its chilled form, it gave me a refreshing treat with a welcoming fruity scent.

Being a "flexitarian", I do often enjoy meat as much. Like many others, when it comes with vegetarian food, we were quite skeptical about its taste and how flavourful can it be as compared to the real ones. At Greendot, no food is ever contain with flour or gluten as they either use fresh vegetables and mushrooms or are made from soy as well as konnyaku products.

Lion Mane Mushroom Rendang Rice to start with was aesthetically alluring. Colors were especially captivating. The bowl of fragrant sesame rice was stacked with a medley of vegetables consisting of broccoli, lettuce, seaweeds, shredded cucumber as well as carrots with shrooms added. The starring part of the dish is none other than the chunky mocked rendang "meat". Rendang gravy was lip-smackingly good, thick and perfumed in its spices.

Lion Mane Mushroom Rendang Rice

Eating in groups? Why not getting yourselves involved in a different experience by trying out their mushroom pots for 2 or even 4 pax. The 4 pax meal comes with two choices of 2 soup base from Herbal, Tom Yum or Laksa with 4 bowls of rice.

Mini Hot Pot Set of 4

A basket of assorted food including Shitake Mushroom, Enoki Mushroom, Shimeiji Mushroom, Tomato, Tau Kee,
Konnyaku Prawn, Baby Nai Bai, Chinese cabbage, Green Coral are provided to mix in the soup.

Basket of Assorted Food

Sides like Plated Sauteed Broccoli, Mixed Fruits and Salad, Mixed Mushroom Platter
are included as well, not forgetting a pot of premium tea too.

Among the few choices of healthy rice, what I like best was sesame rice and Emperor Rice. If you like the fragrance from chicken rice, you will enjoy their sesame rice and if you enjoy black glutinous dessert, don't forget your bowl of Emperor Rice.

If you have been to QQ Rice or even the rice section of super marts, these gains should be of no strangers to you.

Five Treasure Rice

They were fluffy and nutritiously good.

Looking for a mild spicy kick to pair with the bowl of rice? The sweetness as well as the spice served in a soup with Kaffir lime leaves, pink ginger buds and lemon grass spelt out the aromatic soup base.

Tom Yam Soup Base

If you are not enough with the spice from Tom Yam Soup, do try out the laksa broth too. It is of watery base and not too lemak in a sense.

Laksa Soup Base

With the existence of Vegan Burg, burger dishes from Vegetarian eating places are of no surprise. You can still enough your plate of western delight with thick cut fries by the side, dipping them into your favourite chilli/tomato sauce. Who says vegetarian are not interesting? The Lion's mane mushroom came with sliced cheese, omelette egg, tomato, a veggie patty spread with black pepper sauce,giving you that spicy kick.

Lion's Mane Mushroom Burger

Nourishing herbal noodles aids blood circulation as well as reducing cholesterol level. Tau Pok, Radish, carrot, konnyaky balls and soya chunks were cooked in the scrumptious herbal broth with Chinese herbs like Angelica, red dates, wolf-berry and licorice. Though herbs infused taste was not that strong to my liking, I would say this dish is pretty decent and stomach warming especially during colder weathers. A little pet peeve was that we took quite a while to take food pictures and end up the soup was absorbed by the noodles. So remember to enjoy it at its best condition.

"Laksa Mai Hum"? Well, you have it now. Get yourself into such local indulgence from the bowl of laksa made from scratch with blue, yellow gingers, chillies as well as laksa leaves. Ingredients consists of thick bee hoon, konnyaku slice, konnyaku prawn, tau pok, radish and carrot. Its taste is comparable to the "original" version.

Finishing off, we tasted their interesting array of beverages, ranging from fresh fruit tea, yogurt fruit shake to even soy latte. Do note that the size of the cups is not the actual sizes as they are for sampling only.

Sampling Yoghurt Fruit Shake & Tea

A perfect way to end the dinner with a cooling dessert. Osmanthus Jelly was definitely pleasing to the eyes. The sight of handful Osmanthus flowers and wolf-berries through the translucent wobbly Konnyaku Jelly was distracting. Sweetness was just right with little hint of its flowers' scent.

Osmanthus Jelly

Be a flexitarian and enjoy vegetarian at times, I don't mind re-visiting their outlet again especially when they have one in the West side. Therefore if you feel like eating with a purpose or even going green, do visit their outlets.

Lion Mane Mushroom Rendang Rice ($9.50)
Rendang Lion Man Mushroom, Triple Mixed Fresh Mushroom, Broccoli, Sliced Carrot, Sliced Cucumber, Lettuce & Seaweed Flakers.
Contains eggs & milk.
This is my favourite dish tonite as mushroom is used to replace meat in rendang dish instead of the mock meat in usual practice. The thick mushroom gives it a kind of chewy texture and soaks up the strong flavoured sauce very well. The sauce is very thick, rich and spicy on its own.

Herbal Noodle ($7.90)
(Most Popular)
Perfect for cold weathers and lousy moods, the nourishing herbal broth aids blood circulation and reduces cholesterol.
Noodles, Konnyaku Balls, Soya Chunks, Tau Pok, Radish and Carrot served in a herbal broth with Chinese herbs such as Angelica, Licorice and Wolfberry.

The soup is very tasty but best have this dish fast because the noodle soaks up the soup and expands very fast.

Laksa ($5.90)
Tuck into a comforting bowl of hearty, robust laksa made from scratch with blue ginger, yellow ginger, chillies and laksa leaves.
Noodles, Konnyaku Prawn, Konnyaku Slice, Tau Pok, Radish and Carrot.
Another great dish which we have tonite. The laksa soup is very similar to the usual type, minus the chilli paste. It would be better to serve with chilli paste to add spicy to the dish.

Mini Hot Pot Set (Set for 2) ($29.90)
Shitake Mushroom, Enoki Mushroom, Shimeiji Mushroom, Tomato, Tau Kee, Konnyaku Prawn, Baby Nai Bai, Chinese cabbage, Green Coral in your choice of soup.
Plated Sauteed Broccoli, Mixed Fruits and Salad
Brown Rice x 2
Pot of Premium Tea x1
Choice of 1 soup base: Herbal, Tom Yum, Laksa

Herbal,
I feel this is the best soup out of the 3. Strong herbal taste and grows more in depth in taste as it cooks longer with the vegetables throw in.

Tom Yum,
Its taste is more sour, lacking of the depth that is usually found in the versions served in Thai restaurants.

Laksa
It tastes like a slightly watered down version of the laksa noodle's soup.

By the way there is 5 different types of rice to go with your meal here : Beauty Rice, Emperor Rice, Five Treasure Rice, Fragrance Rice or Sesame Rice.

Beauty Rice is actually the brown rice which we commonly known as brown rice.

Emperor Rice is red rice. It has a slightly sweeter taste compares to other types of rice.
This is the second most preferred rice.

Five Treasure Rice

Five Treasure Rice is mixed grain rice, which is great for those who is trying to have brown rice.

Fragrance Rice is the usual plain rice which we commonly have.

Sesame Rice is known as oil rice 油饭, which has a glossy texture similar to chicken rice, and tastes quite nice too. Most of us like this rice the best among the 5 types available.

Lion's Mane Mushroom Burger

Lion's Mane Mushroom Burger Set ($11.80)
(Chef Recommended)
Meet the steak of veggie burgers. Lion's mane mushroom, omelette egg and sliced cheese on a wholemeal bun with lettuce, tomato and a spicy fiery crushed black pepper sauce to give it that extra kick.
Contains Eggs & Milk.
I could not taste taste that the patty is actually made of mushroom. I have thought that it is a soy patty. I wish that there could be more sauce or some sauteed mushrooms to make it more interesting.

Alisan Oolong ($3.50)
This light and cooling drink is made with leaves from Taiwan.

Peach Oolong Tea

Peach Oolong Tea ($4.50)
The drink is quite refreshing, with a peachy taste and slightly sweeten with honey. Great especially when these days are quite hot.

Passion Dragon Fruit Green Tea

Passion Dragon Fruit Green Tea ($5.50)
A fruity drink which is tangy and refreshing.

Strawberry Banana Green Tea

Strawberry Banana Green Tea ($5.50)
A fruity drink but I cannot taste the green tea nor the banana in it.

Avocado Milkshake ($6.50)
The drink is quite thick and smooth which everyone like it the best, but I feel the soy milk taste is a bit strong here.

Soy Caramel Latte

Soy Caramel Latte ($6.50)
Although it is a latte, the coffee taste seems to have been covered by the caramel and soy milk taste.

Mocha Frappe ($7.50)
I am surprised that it turns out to be a cookie & cream frappe, which is icy rich and thick. Got to wait for it to melt a bit before drinking.

Osmanthus Jelly

Osmanthus Jelly ($3.50)
The jelly is firm and can be sliced through easily. It is smooth and soft. It does not taste too sweet with hints of the flowering taste.

Overall the food is not bad. The food menu looks a bit limited, especially on the dessert side which only has either ice-cream or jelly. Location is not bad as it is just next to the MRT station and is quite accessible. Not a bad choice when one is trying to eat clean or want a taste of vegetarian food, which is different from the usual vegetarian bee hoon stalls.
