Herbivore is a restaurant tucked away in a corner at Fortune Centre that’s decked in dark wood furnishings and warm lights, creating a zen atmosphere. This restaurant serves Japanese vegetarian fare and is well-loved by many patrons.Â
We recommend the Unag Stir-Fry Bento ($28++), which stars teriyaki tofu unagi, and other vegetarian side dishes, served with miso soup and rice. The Miso Ramen ($13+) is also worth a shot, as you get QQ ramen noodles, a savoury miso broth, and a variety of vegetarian cha shu and mock meat toppings.

New Green Pasture Cafe is where you’ll find healthy salads, soups, hand rolls, sandwiches, and rice sets. This restaurant uses only organic ingredients, hence the slightly steeper price points. The Penang Laksa ($10.30+) and Miso Mee Swa ($13.80+) are what most regular customers come for. The former is said to have an addictive spiciness that’s offset by the slight tang of tamarind, while the Miso Mee Swa is more savoury with an umami kick.Â

Paraphrase, on the third floor of Fortune Centre, is quite the hidden gem. The cosy diner is small, with eight seats only, so reservations in advance are critical if you want to be able to dine here. Diners can expect an ala carte menu featuring grilled dishes with a distinct Japanese influence, or a tasting menu ($148 per person), both of which change according to the seasons. The diner is also known for their curated selection of natural wines and sakes, so be sure to peruse the drinks menu for something to pair with your eats.

14. A9 Noodle Dumpling
Dumplings and noodles under $5 is a rare find these days, which makes A9 Noodle Dumpling even more of a gem. The eatery specialises in house-made dumplings, priced at only $4 for 15 pieces, and la mian dishes, both dry and soup. You have to order their Chive Pork Dumplings ($4) when dining here. This homely side dish comes stuffed with juicy, well-seasoned minced pork and a generous dash of chives. For noodles, the most affordable option is the Plain Noodle ($3), topped with veggies, but you can also opt for their more flavourful options, including the Spicy Savoury Noodle ($5), a riff on dan dan mian.Â
