Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: San De Vegetarian has been a long-standing option for vegetarian food in Sembawang, with some patrons frequenting it for over a decade.

The variety of dishes is generally considered good, with the crispy noodles with gravy highlighted as a favourite.

Other items like dumplings and kueh are also available occasionally.

However, we note consistent feedback regarding price increases post-COVID, with some finding the current pricing, such as an $8 plate of economy rice, to be on the higher side, especially given perceived reductions in portion size.

The vegetarian curry mutton has been described as occasionally sour, though the Sliced Fish Bee Hoon receives praise for its milky flavour.

A significant concern raised by multiple reviewers is the attitude of some staff members, particularly a 'short-haired woman' or 'aunty,' whose behaviour is described as rude and stingy with portions.

We also note a serious hygiene complaint involving a caterpillar found in economy rice.

While the stall has been a staple, these issues suggest a need for improved customer service and stricter hygiene protocols.

We'd recommend it as a convenient option if you're in the area and prefer vegetarian fare, but be prepared for potentially inconsistent service and keep an eye on your plate.
