Earth Day is just around the corner (it’s on 22 April!), which is probably why you’ve been seeing more eco-conscious content all around you recently. And if you’ve been thinking of living a more sustainable lifestyle, what better way to start than with what you put in your stomach?
In recent years, plant-based food has taken off in Singapore, with brands such as Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, and OmniFoods becoming household names not long after entering the market with their range of vegan meat products – even Eat Just, the start-up behind plant-based egg substitute Just Egg, has eyes on our sunny island, with plans to open up a production facility in Singapore.
More and more restaurants are also taking up the challenge to make fake meat taste like the real deal in an effort to attract a wider group of consumers to get on the bandwagon – and this method seems to be working according to a recent research study by Abillion, a digital platform focused on sustainability.
Where to get your plant-based food fix in Singapore
To help you kick start your journey to living more sustainability, AVENUE ONE has done the legwork and rounded up all the spots that you can go to refuel with delicious plant-based dishes. This time, we’re spotlighting all the eateries that are serving up new or limited-time-only Impossible dishes on their menus – we even got the chance to taste some of them, so you can count on getting our honest reviews as you read on!
We’ll also be sharing with you all the details of the giveaway organised by Impossible Foods this Earth Month, so keep on reading!

Here, you can chow on Impossible Lasagna (from S$13.50), Impossible Meatballs ($9.50), and Impossible™ Bolognese Pasta (from S$16.80). To make it more accessible, these dishes are actually priced the same as the versions using beef from cows so that you can enjoy the plant-based dishes without paying a premium.
If you’re interested in cooking up a storm at home instead, we recommend grabbing a bottle of the Impossible Bolognese Sauce (S$11.50) which is available at Da Paolo Gastronomia’s retail store only.

Fatboy’s The Burger Bar & Fatpapas
Burger fans are definitely not spoilt for choice when it comes to savouring Impossible Meat. Homegrown burger joint Fatboy’s is giving a discount on its own rendition of Impossible Burger (S$15.80, was S$18++), which puts an Impossible patty together with aged cheddar, lettuce, and smoked chipotle sauce on a Carbo-lite chia seed bun.
To find the nearest Fatboy’s outlet, click here. Fatpapas is located at 17 Bali Lane, Singapore 189853.

Address: 238 Thomson Road, #01-08/09, Singapore 307683
Grain
Your favourite Japanese curry rice is reimagined this Earth Month, thanks to Grain’s Impossible Hamburg Japanese Curry Rice (S$17.95).
The online-only restaurant is also offering Black Olive Impossible Bolognese (S$13.95), featuring spaghetti cooked with black olives, fennel-onion confit, roasted cherry tomatoes, and the Impossible Beef bolognese sauce.

Available only at Omakase Burger’s Orchard Central outlet.
PappaRich
In case you haven’t noticed, Impossible Meat isn’t just for Western dishes only! Malaysian eatery is showing us how it can easily be incorporated into our favourite local fare with its Nasi Lemak with Impossible Rendang (S$16.90). However, do note that this dish comes with chicken egg so it’s better suited for omnivores or flexitarians who don’t mind having some animal ingredients in their meal.
Click here to locate your nearest PappaRich outlet.
Privé
This month, Privé is adding an additional patty to its Impossible Truffled Mushroom Swiss Burger (S$21) at no additional cost. Yes, you read that right – a hearty double-patty burger for a little over 20 bucks, so those with a big appetite will surely appreciate this.
We also had the chance to wolf down this creation during a media tasting session and loved how substantial the portion is. While the patties were not as thick as Three Buns’ Le Big Mock, the burger was still big enough to make our tummies happy.
The combination of vegan Swiss cheese sauce and vegan truffle mayo was the highlight for us truffle lovers, as we tasted the robust flavour with every bite we took of the burger.

P.S. Cafe
For pizza lovers, P.S. Cafe is offering a new Impossible BBQ Onion & Rosemary Pizza (S$28). Shreds of Impossible Meat is peppered generously all over the signature pizza base, rounded out with a rich BBQ sauce.
The pizza is also served with a chilli oil dip, which was rather unconventional as we’d usually have chilli oil with Chinese dumplings instead, but to our surprise, it went well with the dish.
Those who love their BBQ sauce will definitely appreciate this pizza because P.S. Cafe certainly did not skimp on the rich flavourful sauce. For us, it just felt a little too overpowering that the Impossible Meat flavour couldn’t shine through.
If you prefer burgers instead, opt for the Impossible Truffle Cheese Burger (S$29.50), which serves up a juicy Impossible patty dripping in truffle porcini mayo, sauteed mushrooms, and crispy pickled onion.
The Impossible BBQ Onion & Rosemary Pizza is available at the One Fullerton, East Coast Park, Martin Road, Tiong Bahru, and Great World City outlets only. Meanwhile, the Impossible Truffle Cheese Burger is available at Harding, Raffles City, Paragon, Ann Siang Hill, and Palais Renaissance outlets.
Rubato – Italian Kitchen & Bar
Possibly the most unique-looking dishes of them all, Rubato’s Heal The World 2021 (S$48) is a hearty dish made of a huge hand-shaped Impossible Beef globe that’s seasoned with fresh Mediterranean herbs and filled with Michelin-grade burrata and sweet bell peppers.
Sitting on a bed of artisanal hand-made tagliolini pasta tossed in Italian pesto and surrounded by parmesan foam, it was a sight to behold when we first laid eyes on the dish. Although it’s made with Impossible Beef, the meat tasted more like pork which was quite a surprise to our taste buds.
While the pasta was on the soggy side and tasted slightly overcooked, it paired beautifully with the giant meatball and satiated our hunger easily with its generous portion of food on the plate.
If you’re interested to see how the plate of edible art was made by Rubato’s Chef Marcus Wu, check out the video below!

Swensen’s

The Goodburger

Address: 587 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 269707
Three Buns
Burger enthusiasts are definitely no stranger to this burger institution and for Earth Month, owner Chef Adam Penney has whipped up Le Big Mock (S$24) that he made using not one but two smashed Impossible Meat patties, dill, and toasted caraway seed.
The burger also includes soya milk mayo, cucumber, jalapeno pickle, shredded lettuce, as well as vegan cheddar in a toasted mango flour sesame bun. At first glance, the burger looked like a Big Mac to us and upon tasting it, we can safely say that it was a healthier alternative to the classic Big Mac that you can eat guilt-free!
The double patties were thick and juicy, and even the vegan cheddar came in a melty, oozy texture – which isn’t how vegan cheeses usually look like typically.
