Good way to try an assortment of their vegan dim sum! 🥟🍢 It was actually kinda hilarious because my partner proclaimed the first item he tried "the MVP", then tried the next item and excitedly declared that was "the true MMVP", and so it went on for all 4 items. 😂 Featuring crunchy Deep-Fried Vegetable Spring Roll stuffed with sweet jicama and cabbage, Sichuan Steamed Plant-Based Meat Dumpling with red chilli oil and aged black vinegar, Steamed Mushroom and Corn Dumpling in an adorable little basket, as well as their bestselling Pan-Fried #Impossible Gyoza. 🍄‍🟫🌽 ($9.80 for 4 pieces) #sgvegan #veganoptions #chinesefood #dimsum

Plant-Based Dim Sum Platter

Super crispy gyozas filled with #Impossible 'beef' and water chestnuts. 🥟🌰 This ever received the @abillion award for Singapore's top 50 vegan dishes, and for good reason! 🏆 It was my partner's favourite item from the dim sum platter, and he excitedly asked if we could order more of this a la carte. I've had plenty of vegan dumplings by this point, but this is indeed a notch above the rest, in part because of the cooking skills and I suppose also because the plant-based meat alternative is more premium (plus more aromatic since it contains alliums)~ ($12 for 3 pieces) #sgvegan #veganoptions #chinesefood #dimsum

Vegan xiaolongbao is hard to come by, so I was delighted that #Impossible 'pork' was available as an alternative to minced pork! The taste was great, though I did wish there was slightly more broth inside the steamed Shanghai dumplings. 🍲 Served with shredded ginger vinegar dipping sauce; my partner was very amused creating different ginger hairstyles for the baos ahaha. 🫚 ($8.80 for 4 pieces) #sgvegan #veganoptions #chinesefood #dimsum

New main~ Chunks of lion's mane mushrooms coated in a crispy batter with a firm meaty mouthfeel inside. 🍄‍🟫 The spice seasoning was mindblowingly aromatic too, and with the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilli, this resembled mala chicken 辣子鸡. 🌶️ There were long beans to balance things out too. So toothsome and addictive! ($22 for Small) #sgvegan #veganoptions #chinesefood #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb

New main~ Crunchy battered cauliflower, roasted cashew nuts, and shredded carrot drizzled in kung pao sauce. 🥕🌶️ I liked that the cauliflower was still soft and juicy inside, and without any unpleasant sulfuric taste or smell! Also appreciated the use of whole foods; I believe they used Tindle 'chicken' in the past. Would have been good to have a tad more kung pao sauce for the whole dish though!

Fried brown rice tossed with chopped asparagus, goji berries, and pine nuts. Tbh I don't think I found the shimeji mushrooms and yam described in the menu ahaha 👀🍄‍🟫🍠 But it was still relatively tasty, and I appreciated the healthier take on fried rice with the incorpoation of whole grains! 🍚 This was a really big portion that I would say could feed around 4 pax though; my partner and I were stuffed trying to finish this. 🙃 ($22 for Small) #sgvegan #veganoptions #chinesefood #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb

Naturally sweet corn and spinach soup~ 🌽🥬🍲 I did find the portion rather small given the price though. 🙈 Also perhaps some yuba would have complemented it well, kinda like egg drop soup! ($9) #sgvegan #veganoptions #chinesefood #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb

Scoop of vegan coconut ice-cream served on a bed of shaved salted coconut ice - think coconut water in the form of frozen chips! 🌴🥥🍨❄️ Interesting to try this cold version, since bubur Char-Char usually consists of sweet warm coconut milk. Topped with a drizzle of pulut hitam black glutinous rice, yam balls, mango cubes, banana slices, and pomegranate seeds. 🍠🥭🍌 My partner enjoyed this very much. Heard that this is @vikas' favourite too! ($15) #sgvegan #veganoptions #sgdessert #vegandessert

Warm and moist cake with chewy bits of longan within for an Asian twist, making this a great East meets West fusion rendition of the classic dessert! Drizzled in sticky gula melaka butterscotch sauce, and served with vegan vanilla swirl ice-cream. 🍮🍨 Lovely to have a bite of both the pudding and ice-cream together. Topped with goji berries and crunchy walnuts, plus a candle and Happy Birthday chocolate piece as a pleasant surprise for my partner~ 🕯️🍫 Except he bit off the "irthday" and let me have the rest so I could be a "Happy B(aby)" hahaha 👶🏻 ($15) #sgvegan #veganoptions #sgdessert #vegandessert

Sticky Date & Longan Pudding

An unconventional rendition of the traditional #dessert #buburchacha. It is an #accidentallyvegan dessert that can be found in many countries in Southeast Asia. They added #banana and #pomegranate. While slightly unusual, they add to the texture. The best part were the chewy sweet potato / yam pieces. The coconut ice cream seems to be the same as the one from other dessert.

Beautiful presentation for this #dessert. The coconut taste in the #matcha #cake was very strong and unfortunately seemed stale. Overall wasn’t too bad as I’m a #matchalover. I did enjoy the coconut ice cream which was refreshing. The salted #almonds were a nice touch for some texture.

Classic #eggplant #chinesefood, remember to request for #impossiblemeat version for it to be vegan. Fragrant dish that goes well with rice. One of the best dishes from Empress I had that day. This is the first time I tried impossible meat. The texture is very interesting and it has a slight soy taste. The eggplants were the stars in this saucy dish. The stonepot is great as it keeps the dish very warm.
