Tucked at the end of the quiet alley at Holland Village is the restaurant “Original Sin” which serves mainly vegetarian Mediterranean cuisine. My colleague recommended going there for lunch as we hope to have vegetarian option and she mentioned that the food was delicious as well. Pretty much game for trying new food, we headed there after making reservation.
We decided to go for the lunch set menu which comprised of various choices to choose from, with the option of soup of the day or salad as appetizer.
Start with soup of the day – Tomato soup
I love tomato soups in general so I was actually looking forward to it. But it was extremely sour for my liking so I was not very impressed. But it helped eating together with the main dish so I did manage to finish up the soup.
Veggie Burger
My friend ordered Veggie Burger which comes with brown rice and chickpeas pattie served with salad greens & wedges. I like the patty which is baked and grilled to crispiness. I should admit that the burger is good!
Avocado Ciabatta
Another friend ordered Avocado Ciabatta which comes with smashed avocado, feta, grilled Portobello mushroom, roasted pearl tomato and rocket. At first appearance, it looks appetising enough and the first bite of it was delicious!
Pasta Melanzane
I am quite a big pasta lover so naturally, I ordered Pasta Melanzane which comes with veggie eggplant ”meatballs” topped with sundried tomato, chili, basil and parmesan cheese. The meatballs are pretty soft with mixture of veggies and eggplants but it was pretty good in a way that I couldn’t tell that I am eating vegan meatballs.
Chocolate cake with ice cream
The last dish served for the lunch set is dessert – warm chocolate cake with ice cream. Just when I discovered the best chocolate cake dessert in Ubi the previous week, this cake is on par with it!
Will I come back again?
Maybe only on special occasions as it is quite pricey if you get ala carte meals instead of lunch sets. It is great for dates as they have unlimited promotions for their wine.
