Singapore Vegetarian Meetup is one of the hundreds of Meetup groups in SG and thousands around the world. It serves as an excellent way to meet fellow vegetarians. What’s surprising is that even more of the people at the 300+ events that Singapore Vegetarian Meetup has held since 2007 are not vegetarians. More than 40 people attended the anniversary dinner at Eight Treasures Restaurant. In addition to enjoying the food, attendees heard from some of the original organisers of our Meetup events. Then, we heard from four well-known vegetarian restaurants: Annalakshmi, New Green Pasture, Veganburg, and Eight Treasures.

Kampung Senang, with support from VSS and other pro-veg organizations, hosted the second edition of its Green and Healthy Festival.

A group of 14 of us (some vegans, and some non-vegans) headed off to Malaysia to visit the Animal Paradise Sanctuary for the third time.

Both the animals and their human friends thoroughly enjoyed the petting and feeding sessions. We also enjoyed delicious vegetarian Kampong food on the way to the sanctuary.

This was one of our many potlucks over the course of the year and was a great way to bring in the holiday season, with amazing vegan food and lots of love in our extended vegan family. About 35 of us attended the potluck.
