Food and Drink Awards: Best Vegetarian
Happy Veggies
We appreciate Happy Veggies for: a) feeding us delicious, MSG-free vegetarian food and b) teaching us to become fitter, happier, more socially responsible people. Aside from peddling a healthy, low-carbon menu padded with mashed taro cakes, pan-fried lotus root patties, meatless spring rolls and assorted veggies braised in pungent, fermented bean curd, the restaurant doubles as a social enterprise, providing job opportunities for those with hearing impairments. It’s food for a very worthy cause and we’re proud to call this our best vegetarian restaurant of the year.
