Visited last Sunday, the resturant give us a clean and sleek look and it give us a different feeling from the usual vegetarian restuarant. They mainly serves peranakan-thai style cusine and the food was really awesome!

Yam Treasure Ring: The yam was really soft and topped with a whole lots of ingredients. However, the price is quite steep based on the size given.

Thai Mixed vegetables: They mix in a whole lot of fresh vegetables and it quite norm to say.

Penang Rendang: This dish was quite unexpected. Who would have thought that the rendang dish in vegetarian restuarant would smells and taste this good. I would not have expect that they actually use mushroom to replace the usual meat that we ate in normal peranakan cusine. I would definetely recommend this dish for their first experience in this restuarant.

Thai Battered Oyster Mushroom: This was quite a normal deep fried mushroom dish that will not goes wrong in majority of the food eatery.

Lemongrass drink: The taste of lemongrass we had that day was quite subtle, not much of the lemongrass fragrance. 

I would recommend this place for those people who would like to have a change from their usual intake of meat and seafood. This is also a good place as a kickstart for those people who wanted to convert to vegan/vegetarian.

 Whole Earth first opened its doors for business in 2003 (this year marks its 10th anniversary). The restaurant is located at Peck Seah Street within a minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT Exit A. It's hard to miss this place as they used the huge wall to their advantage advertising their restaurant.

 The 8 Treasure Cooling Tea with Rosehip was not bad. But to my friends, they mentioned that it smell and tasted like medicine (cough mixture). So a word of caution, not everyone would like this.

All the dishes that we ordered and ate were their best sellers.

 The Sambal Kang Kong $12 was well cooked and was still crunchy. The unique belachan sauce in this dish stimulated the different senses of taste (sweet, spicy and salty), to its extreme at times. It was very spicy and yet salty at the same time. I suspect that they had added Marmite to it, and if they did, they have added too much of it. If this dish was less salty, it would have been perfect. Interestingly, this dish was incredibly addictive, I wonder if it was the Marmite flavour (salty) or spiciness that made it so addictive. Beats me..

 The chunks of tofu in the Oatmeal Tofu with Curry Leaves $15 were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. An addition point to note was that it was not oily. However, the oats were a disappointment. They practically tasteless. Somehow the flavours of the curry leaves was not brought out. On a side note, the Oat Tofu with Curry Leaves looks uncanny similar to Cereal Prawns.

 As the name of this dish suggests, the Broccoli with Braised Monkeyhead Mushroom $19 was made up of mushroomhead mushrooms (as mock meat). It was then braised together with broccoli, tang gui herbs and wolfberry. It was well executed and quite a decent dish (though not fantastic).

 Similar, mushroom was used as mockmeat in the Penang Rendang $19. This was another spicy dish, thought not as spicy as the sambal kangkong. In terms of taste, I thought that it was quite decently executed and similar to those found elsewhere (which uses mockmeat).

 Leaving the best for the last, the Nyonya Curry $19 was outstanding. 8 hours of preparation and cooking was required for this dish. This dish was made of shiitake mushrooms (as mock meat) and potato in a thick Nyonya style curry sauce. The curry was incredibly flavourful and appetising. The potato and mockmeat tasted wonder in this sauce! Taste as good, if not as even better than other Nyonya Curry found elsewhere. The curry goes well with steamed rice! Yummy!

One of the aim of Whole Earth was to create a place where vegetarians could bring their friends non-vegetarian friends to. I must say that the food was impressive. Some of them not only taste just like the real one, but was even better! You may have noticed by now that mushrooms are commonly used as mockmeat by Whole Earth instead of using soybased or flour mockmeat.

Price wise I would say that it was on the expensive end and the portions were small. The ambiance and environment of the restaurant made it difficult to chat as it amplify and hence cause the place to be very noisy. This was despite the fact that it was only half full. Overall, I would conclude that, the vegetarian food served here are unique and quite good (in terms of taste).

The Sambal King ($15) which consist of 4 different types of vegetables, including long bean, lady fingers, sambal king and petai bean are all crunchy fresh. The sambal chilli used in this dish also make it very appetitzing. Great vegetarian food here!

Whole Earth restaurant started since 2003 that offers another alternatives to normal vegetarian food ~ Thai Peranakan cuisine. The restaurant has also gain its reputation for many winning awards too! Located at Peak Seah street, the restaurant is a 1 level restaurant and is usually packed with alot of customers. So if you do want to dine at Whole Earth, do remember to make your reservations to avoid disappointment.

The variety of food actually surprise me as they do offer more variety than some of the zi char vegetarian restaurant. Food taste wise, there are some dishes that wow me and some that give me a boo. The price is consider pretty steep. Each dish is approx 10 over bucks for small size.

Here are some of the food we had that night

Fried Mee Sua (7 bucks)- I find this dish is pretty good for vegetarian style of cooking. The mee sua is not too soggy nor it is very hard. it doesnt really taste vegetarian to me

 Double boiled nourishing soup - 28 (S) / 55 (M). i guess this is the most expensive dish of the night. We ordered a small one to share which is slightly just nice for 4 of us. The soup is pretty much "herbal" taste with bamboo shoots in it. The taste wise is ok for me. nothing much to wow about and neither to boo about. OK only

 here, you can choose unpolished rice or white rice to go with your meals! for those who are very health conscious, you can opt for unpolished rice!

Overall
Food wise : ** ( Ok only)
Price : ****
Customer service : * ( slow in serving customers and attending to customers. i seen they are quite rude to the guest at another table)

Will i come again? Sorry. dont think so

One of the best vegetarian food i have eaten outside. head over to whole earth with my cousins to have dinner. As a change, we decided to eat vegetarian food. Not the usual boring and common vegetarian you can find, the ingredients they use to cook taste just like the normal zi cha you order outside. Makes you forget you are actually eating vegetarian food.

Met up with my tuition teacher and we decided to have lunch together. She dun usually take vegetarian food like I do, so I decided to introduce her to Whole Earth, a place where Thai Vegetarian food is served.

When we got there, the place was quite packed. We didnt reserve a place and so we got a table just right in front of the entrance. We ordered a vegetable dish and a sweet and sour pork, which is made from mock meat. Service was fast, and the dishes arrived at our table shortly. Ordered 2 bowls of plain rice for us to go with it.

Presentation of both dishes were nice, and made the dishes really appetizing. The sweet and sour pork was really good, it tasted like real meat. There was also some raw veggies on top, and some cucumbers and pineapples, like rojak. The veggies with mushrooms dish I didnt like it as much as the stalks of the veggies were so hard. My tuition teacher ate all of it as I didnt touch the stalks. Ate the leaves only, and also the mushrooms. There were boxton seeds scattered on the dish too, and the sauce tasted nice. Serving for the meat is smaller, while there were more veggies with mushrooms.

After eating, my tuition teacher changed her conception of vegetarian food. She thought that vegetarian food only consisted of vegetables and nothing else. Now, she plans to go back to eat nxt time again.

My dad is a vegetarian, so we had to find places which have vegetarian food whenever we went out to eat. Luckily, as we were in the area of Tanjong Pagar, we passed by a restaurant called Whole Earth. It was nearing dinnertime and as both of us was pretty hungry, we decided to just dine there.

The restaurant was quite a cosy place, and we were seated near the counter. The waitress brought us the menu, and we started looking thru it. The prices were pretty ex for vegetarian standards, but cant argue much since its Thai vegetarian and it's a restaurant.

I ordered Tom Yam Fried Rice ($7), while my dad ordered Olive Fried Rice ($7). They have noodles too, but they were priced at ard $15/plate, and i knw my dad doesnt like to spend tat much on food. As i was afraid tat my fried rice would be too spicy, i ordered a glass of calamansi juice ($4.50) too. Service was pretty fast, as there wasnt much customers. My dad's fried rice came 1st, followed by mine.

When i took the 1st bite, i really liked it. It was nice and wasnt too spicy. Little did i knw tat as i continued eating, it became spicier and spicier. Soon, my face was red as the fried rice was too spicy for me alrdy. My dad saw tat i was having a hard time eating and he decided to let me have his instead, but i didnt like the taste of it. He ate my fried rice and commented it was too spicy for him to handle too (& my dad loves spicy food)!
He suggested mixing both fried rice tgt, which surprisingly, turned out pretty nice to eat & not as spicy.

Everything cost us abt $21.50, inclusive of service charge and GST. However, dun tink i would be able to come back agn as my dad tinks its too expensive, and i dun really eat vegetarian food outside (unless im with my dad).

“Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” — Albert Einstein.

Ok actually my mother just wanted to check out Whole Earth after my aunties recommended the place to her.

We didn’t order the appetizers ($3), yet they are not complimentary. The Seaweed chips are just fried beancurd skin. I didn’t try the other appetizer which is some vegetable soaked in vinegar.

My mother wanted to try the Olive Rice ($6) which was one of the chef’s recommendations in the menu. We were quite disappointed because it tasted quite like ordinary fried rice.

However, I kinda like the quality of rice that was used which is not the typical thin grain Thai rice. I was also thankful that the rice wasn’t oily.

The Nonya curry ($16) was not too spicy and was slightly sweet. Good for those who cannot stomach spicy food. But the portion is really quite small. I wouldn’t really recommend this.

Another healthy dish, Fresh Greens with Jade Bailing Mushrooms ($15)! The mushrooms were firm yet easy to chew and the texture is not too rubbery.

My family loves spicy food so for us to pass up the Tom yam soup ($15) is simply out of the question. It was spicy enough to satisfy me. Although I don’t really like sour food, I feel that the tom yam soup would deserve more marks if it was slightly more sour. There were generous servings of vegetables and lemongrass in it.

In fact, my brother loved the tom yam soup so much that he suggested we should try the Tom Yam Fried Rice ($6) too. It wasn’t that spicy but it was definitely better than the olive fried rice.

The Fried Mee Suah ($6) was a little bit oily but still acceptable. I don’t have anything else to comment. Haha.

I strongly recommend the 5-Spice Ngor Hiang Roll ($10)! Not only is it value for money, I like its presentation too. Finally something that looks more interesting than soup or rice. Haha! Yeah it tastes good too, just remember to dip it into the sweet sauce. Not too much though!

For those who love your greens might wanna consider the Sambal Kangkong ($12). I will not compare it with the non-vegetarian version because it it ultimately the belachan that brings out the flavor in this dish.

It’s nice to go on a vegetarian diet once in a while and it’s also interesting to see how people can get creative coming up with meatless dishes!

Total bill came to about $100 after 10% service charge.
