Vegetarian Food Near Bugis MRT: 12 Best Spots (2026)
The area around Bugis MRT is one of Singapore's densest pockets for meat-free eating, anchored by Fortune Centre at 190 Middle Road — a walk-up building roughly five minutes from the station that houses a whole cluster of vegetarian and vegan eateries, from cheap cai fan and thunder tea rice to Japanese-style veg bento and vegan udon. Beyond Fortune Centre, the nearby Waterloo Street and Queen Street stretch (next to the Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho temple) adds a few more long-running Buddhist vegetarian spots. Most places here serve Chinese or Buddhist vegetarian food (often allium-free) rather than halal-certified fare, so confirm dietary specifics and current opening hours with the venue before you go.

Your questions answered
Where is the biggest cluster of vegetarian food near Bugis MRT?
Fortune Centre at 190 Middle Road, roughly a 5-minute walk from Bugis MRT, is the main hub. This single walk-up building holds many vegetarian and vegan eateries side by side, including Herbivore, New Green Pasture Cafe, Living Wholesome, Su Shi Piao Xiang, Pine Tree Cafe, Tracy Juice Culture and Bodhi Deli.
Is the vegetarian food near Bugis halal-certified?
Generally no. Most of these are Chinese or Buddhist vegetarian eateries, which are meat-free but not halal-certified, and some (for example Japanese-style dishes) may use cooking wine or mirin. If you specifically need halal food, treat these as vegetarian-only and check directly with the venue or MUIS before relying on it.
How cheap is vegetarian food around Bugis?
Very affordable at the hawker/cai fan end: many rice, thunder tea (lei cha) and noodle plates run about S$6-10, for example Su Shi Piao Xiang's kway chap or Living Wholesome's thunder tea bee hoon. Sit-down Japanese vegetarian, cafes and buffets are higher, roughly S$15-30 per person.
Are these places fully vegan or just vegetarian?
Most are ovo-lacto or Buddhist vegetarian (often allium-free) rather than strictly vegan, so eggs, dairy or honey may appear. Tracy Juice Culture is vegan and Bodhi Deli is plant-based, but if you avoid all animal products, confirm ingredients like egg and dairy with the staff before ordering.
Which Bugis MRT exit and streets should I head for?
For Fortune Centre, use the Bugis MRT exits toward Middle Road/Rochor; it is also close to Rochor (DT13) and Bras Basah (CC2) stations. For the Waterloo Street and Queen Street spots like Kwan Im Vegetarian and Supreme Vege, walk via Bugis Junction toward the temple area. Hours and individual stalls change often, so confirm before you go.
