Chinese Vegetarian Food in Singapore: 2 Dinner Picks
For a vegetarian family meal, LingZhi Greens is the Orchard option for a Chinese-style table. Whole Earth near Tanjong Pagar takes you towards Peranakan and Thai flavours. Neither needs a long list of dishes to turn into a proper dinner.
Whole Earth: choose one sambal dish, not three
At 76 Peck Seah Street, Whole Earth’s published menu lists Sambal King at S$23, Sambal Kangkong at S$19 and Sambal Broccoli at S$20. These are displayed menu prices; check the bill’s applicable charges rather than treating them as nett.
Our starting order would pair Nonya Penang Rendang, Golden Oats Tofu, one vegetable dish and Olive Rice. The point is contrast: a centre dish, tofu, greens and a staple, not three sambal vegetables competing for space. Staff can help size that order for your table; this is not a fixed-price set.
The restaurant’s sambal recipe is specifically described as made without shrimp paste, garlic or shallots. That is useful detail, but not a blanket statement about every dish. Open the current dine-in menu before booking.
LingZhi Greens: keep the meal in Orchard
LingZhi Greens is at Palais Renaissance, 390 Orchard Road, #B1-04/05, beside the Royal Thai Embassy. Choose it when the group wants a Chinese vegetarian restaurant and is already meeting around Orchard, rather than adding another cross-town journey.
Its official site links à la carte and set menus. Compare the set’s inclusions with the actual dishes your group wants before paying for more courses. We have not established a current all-in set price, so there is no invented “from” figure here.
Make the reservation fit the group
Whole Earth opens daily for 11.30am–3pm lunch and 5.30pm–10pm dinner, with last orders at 2.30pm and 9pm. It is not an all-afternoon stop.
If someone is vegan or avoids alliums, name that requirement: egg and dairy exclusions are different from avoiding onion and garlic. Choose dishes that person can actually share, rather than leaving them with a bowl of rice while everyone else eats.
