GreenDot is started by 2 seconday school mates. When they were classmates in school, Justin who was vegetarian since young had to bring packed lunch to school as there was no vegetarian food stall in school then. Both of them decide to bring vegetarian food to the Singapore school system by starting the business from a school canteen stall.

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.
Contains Milk.
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.
LaksaIt 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 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 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 ($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 ($5.50)A fruity drink which is tangy and refreshing.
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 ($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 ($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.
