I can’t believe we almost missed this!
I found out about this event by chance, and I’m glad that I did.
The Plant-Based Fair took place at EmQuartier October 25 to 27.
40+ vendors participated.
100% vegan.
Free admission.
We went there on the last day, the 27th, around the lunch time.
It was lively, but the size of the crowd was manageable.
No lines.
We saw a lot of tasty-looking food.
The following pictures show just some of them, but I hope you can get some idea of what was offered.
There were several vegan restaurants that we visit regularly, and there were other restaurants we did not know.
So we were busy taking pictures so that we could remember to check them out later.
There were also a lot of small businesses showcasing interesting products.
Oh, this was an interesting one.
The bar was called “Sad Bar”, and they had “Unhappy Hour” going (lol).
You tell the bartender how you feel, and he will concoct a drink for you.
Cool, huh.
There were so many things we wanted to try.
I was indecisive, but my husband quickly chose this curry x rice from Munch Mox by Nidhi.
We got two types of curry: “lamb” and “chicken”.
They were both so rich and flavorful!
The staff were so friendly, and they told us that they no longer have a storefront, but you can still get their food for delivery.
Good to know!
It took me a while, but I finally decided to try this beautiful sushi from Buffalo trap Bar.
This was not only pretty but also so fresh and tasty!
There was avocado, mushroom, and some other things (I can’t really tell exactly what) inside and it was topped off with beet and vegan caviar.
We were planning to get a few more things for lunch, but we were pretty full after the curry and sushi.
So we moved on to a dessert.
This Thai tea ice cream was so creamy and delicious!
The strong tea taste was amazing, too.
I strongly believe that it tastes the best when the edge starts melting.
My husband likes to stir his ice cream to make the whole thing creamy and melting, while I like mine half melting with the other half still firmer, if that makes sense.
When we share ice cream, he is so nice, letting me handle the stirring :).
We thought we were done eating, but we couldn’t resist some free samples (lol).
This pani puri offered by Munch Box was delicious!!
Pani puri is an Indian street food.
It’s a delicate shell stuffed with potatoes and some other veggies, and they pour refreshing tangy sauce into the shell right before you eat it.
I could have eaten five more of these!
