Review
Located in district 2, Planta has the advantage of being on a quiet street and we believe it is situated in the same location as another cool restaurant called Wild Thyme. The nice outdoor settings created a feeling that we like we were at a tropical summer party with a swimming pool and flamingo decoration. We sat next to the lovely yet cozy bar area, under the domes that conveniently cover us in the pouring rain during our dining time. The staff had a friendly attitude and pay attention to our needs; they helped us to move our table when it was raining heavily outside. In terms of food, we started with Fa-la-la-la-fel pearl salad including many nutritious ingredients such as mixed green leaves, falafels, hummus and baked pita bread. The salad mix was fresh and healthy mixed well with the chef sauce, while the falafels and hummus went well together; however, they missed certain elements that make the dish complete, perhaps garlic or strong herbs. The heart beet burger was amazingly delectable and well-presented; we found the black colour of charcoal buns interesting and the baked sweet potatoes were satisfyingly crispy. The patty was well seasoned in perfect harmony with other ingredients. Overall, we were pleased with our food and dining service.
THROUGH THE LENS OF V'AESTHETE
Fa-la-la-la-fel Pearl Salad (falafel made from sprouted chickpeas & herbs, pearl barley tabbouleh, in-house pickled carrots and green chillies, mixed together with the signature charcoal hummus & baked pita bread)
Heart Beet Burger (charcoal bun, beetroot, sprouted lentils & beans patty, signature bbq maple sauce, grilled mushrooms, lettuce & beef tomatoes)
Which elements impress us?
We loved Planta's quiet location and tropical vibe from the chill outdoor setting and cool swimming pool, which is a perfect brunch spot for summer. The menu has Western-inspired cuisines with diverse options and a good combination of ingredients. We highly recommend the place for Western vegetarian food lovers.
Which elements could be improved?
We wish the falafels and hummus could have been more authentic; perhaps they should add some critical elements to make the dish complete. Other than that, we would definitely come back for other dishes.
