It's not fine dining, but it's certainly vegetarian, and a great night out (depending on who you're with!).
I'm studying with INSEAD in Singapore at the moment, and during each visit I get the opportunity to eat out with my fellow students. On this occasion I chose the restaurant from a short list of options ~ since even the local Singaporean meat-eaters were rating Original Sin, I had no hesitation in signing my study group up for dinner here!
Original Sin is situated on a leafy row of restaurants in terrace houses - the precinct has a local warmth about it, but obviously frequented by the international set within Singapore. Italian, French and other restaurants are lined up, with open-air terrace seating all along the quiet street. The area is a-buzz with friendly chatter and bird life, and the Singapore heat hangs in the air.
Original Sin is 100% vegetarian. You can't go wrong with any option, however I particularly enjoyed my meal which was a quinoa and mushroom pattie with plum sauce. The menu options were inventive and filling, and each has an Asian flair.
The service is fine and I found the alcohol expensive (actually - this applies to all of Singapore! Minus duty-free!!) and the decore is dominated by the pleasure of sitting outside in the warm evening air. I'll happily eat here again ~ I like the ethos and the imagination that has gone into each meal. 'Vegetarian food' screams out as their catch-phase, rather than a pleasant, subtle surprise - which is fine! I think plenty of meat-eaters will be happy to eat here - it's filling and flavoursome. It's not trying to be fine-dining so I wont benchmark it as such. Please enjoy!
