Many have the impression that a vegan diet equates to munching on raw carrots or overpriced desserts like acai bowls. Vegan food, however, can be so much more. From burgers to lasagna, the world of vegan food is expanding, and it’s becoming one filled with more options than you can imagine.
A vegan eatery hidden in the basement of The Central, nomVnom offers a full menu with over 15 different burgers, each of which comes with fruit vinegar as a free drink for those who dine in. They also offer a wide range of starters, from Red Sweet Potato Fries ($5.90) to Banana Fritters ($3.90), as well as desserts.

Their Truffle Porcini Funghi ($19) is a crowd-favourite, along with their version of lasagna ($17). Their famous Brownice Ice Cream ($8) comes with brownies and is topped with chocolate fudge and chocolate chips.
