Where to go for meatless meals!

Learn about the newest start up from one of our very own members!

Rotarians looking for a meatless meal in town now have a cool, new option to consider: Green Common. It’s a one-stop destination for all your plant-based needs; the roomy interior houses a 112-seater eatery, and a retail nook that stocks a wide selection of international meat-free brands.

The multi-purpose concept store was first started by the Green Monday Group as a way to promote mindful eating. And its opening at VivoCity marks Green Common’s first outlet in Southeast Asia.

Here, the bright interior and all-inclusive menu is made to feel welcoming. Choose to settle down in a pastel-hued chair, under a living air plant ceiling fixture, or head outdoors to dine alfresco by the waters. Then, browse an extensive menu where you’ll find a range of meat-alternative being used to create dishes pulled from a variety of cuisine: pizza, noodles, local street food, and more.

Tech Food 2.0 plant-based brands under one roof

There's a retail section of the store that has grocery products to take home, mainly plant-based milk, meat and egg products. Green Common will bring to Singaporeans a number of internationally renowned plant-based brands, including Beyond Meat, Daiya, Eat Just, Heura and its own line of OmniMeat ready-made dishes dubbed OmniEat, as well as its line plant-based pork analogues, including its vegan pork mince, strips and luncheon meat packages. Other brands that will be retailed include Gardein, Alpha Foods, Unlimeat, Bite Society, Moving Mountains, Vegan Robs and Simply Seven.

“Over the years we have seen great interest from Singaporeans looking to have access to more plant-based alternatives. We are so excited to be launching the first Green Common concept in Southeast Asia here, bringing our signature retail and dine-in concepts to the city,” commented Kelvin Ng, Director of Green Monday and a Rotarian from Rotary Club of Marina City.

Singapore residents will also be able to dine-in and enjoy Green Common’s entirely plant-based menu, many of which are 100% vegan-friendly versions of local crave-worthy classics, such as rendang chicken roti or chicken laksa noodles made with Heura’s plant-based substitutes, and even and Hainanese chicken rice that comes with the iconic trio of veganised sauces.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to shift consumers towards healthier, more sustainable and safer alternatives, Rotarians and Singaporeans are beginning to embrace diet change as a collective effort to reduce green house gases and mitigate climate change.

Whether you are a Meat Eater, Vegan, Vegetarian, it does not matter, be a Flexitarian and give our planet a break as we embark on a step by step diet that contributes to a better healthier lifestyle that reflects the true spirit of the Rotary.
