Afterglow By ANGLOW – Vegetarian restaurant with creative dishes

With the rising trend of plant-based food like Beyond Meat and so on, Afterglow By ANGLOW is no stranger to this market, offering an eclectic plant-based menu you could not possibly imagine.

Remember the time when you try to get your meat-loving friends to eat a piece of vegetables and they go ‘eeeeeks’?

Afterglow By Anglow is here to change the misconception that vegetables are boring, bitter or at worst, tasteless forms. Even I am surprise at Afterglow’s menu, which appeals with its unique creations of raw food and vegetables into exciting pairings.

Silently sitting along Keong Saik Road, for several years, Afterglow has been committed to the vegan, vegetarian and clean-eating community. It’s rare to find a restaurant like this in Singapore, and especially one that doesn’t serve you mock meats. Instead, it makes you want to go back for their deconstructed acai bowl, raw pizza and lasagna and colorful salad bowls.

The Raw Guacamole Dip platter $14 comes with a blend of avocado with coriander, onion and tomato, alongside carrot strips, crunchy radish and rye crackers. Other appetisers include the Raw Vegan Nut Cheese Platter $14, Cauliflower Bites $10 and Teriyaki ‘Meat’-Balls $14 that are actually made of mushrooms.

The burgers are interesting with the Cuban Burger $20 made of black bean patty base. I opted for the Quinoa and Spinach ‘Hash Brown’ Burger $20 that looked as equally sinful as any meat burgers despite its vegetarian base.

The patty consist of what I believe to be quinoa, spinach, goat cheese, rolled oats and breadcrumb mixed and pound together into shape, then slathered with a layer of oozy macadamia cheese sauce, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, and lastly coupled with sides of baked sweet potato wedges and zesty coleslaw with coriander garlic dressing before serve.

Though there were many ingredients going in one dish, the flavours remained distinct. It was a hearty portion and everything on my plate just felt guilt-free.
