Soul ALife Cafe
Vegan with gluten free options

Thankful for the earlier postings on burpple - I decided to visit this small cafe .

I love supporting small enterprises and our local Singaporeans and it really warms my heart knowing that this cafe is started by a young lady in her 20s. What a brave heart in this highly competitive and rent - killing part of Singapore.

As though that is not enough, serving clean and raw food is also much of an uphill battle. With the likes of “ health food “ joints sprouting up and around everywhere , most are mis- leading the public about healthy eating. Just a few greens tossed in doesn’t make a meal healthy - there is much more to it than that.

Thus, I admire the courage of this young cafe owner.

The Buddha bowl ( why Buddha ?? Hahaha) was ver light and clean on the palate with the beetroot hummus being the star of the dish . It had a good amount of tumeric / cumin spice and was smooth in texture. The other elements in the bowl were ok - roasted potatoes , tumeric cauliflower, purple slaw , cherry tomatoes. An unexpected find were the Asian mushrooms in place of button mushrooms ( perhaps this helps to keep the costs lower).

The Buddha bowl was close to 12 dollars after adding in gst and service charge - a little expensive I would say because it was not as though any of the ingredients were organic.

Also, I see that the mircrowave is used to heat up certain elements of food here - so that might be a deterrent for me because microwave and healthy eating just don’t come together .

There are some raw cakes and gluten free cakes served in the cafe but seeing that there were just lone 1 or 2 pieces displayed - I might come back the next time when there is a fresh batch baked .
