Not like other vegetarian restaurants, Elemen does not offer ala carte menu. Instead, it offers two kind of set meal, a 5-course set at  SGD 26.80 per person and 8-course set at SGD 32.80 per person. Both sets start with the same appetiser from Elemen. While it looks simple, the taste of the tomato and the cucumbers are so fresh and sweet. Kinda makes me wonder why I used to hate veggies when I was little. 

Next, since I chose for a 5-course set lunch, I had to chose between salad and soup. I am always a fan of mushroom soup so I was so delightful when I saw wild mushroom cream soup as one of the choices available for the soup. 

It got pretty difficult to choose once you are deciding for the mains because all the dishes look so good. After a moment of deliberation, my colleague decided to go for mushroom risotto with black truffle which to me looks a tad too dry for risotto. But other than the texture, the risotto taste quite good but it's probably not suitable for you if you don't really like the strong smell of the mushroom. 

However, I had to give more thumbs up to the main dish that I ordered, quinoa brown rice sizzlling inside a hot stone bowl. I just become a fan of quinoa because my tummy can withstand hunger better after I consume quinoa. I think my stomach is confused on what is this new type of diet that I eat and since quinoa is supposedly a complex carb (not like white rice), stomach needs more time to digest while suffering confusion. The thing is, quinoa is still considered pretty rare (you will not see them as part of mixed rice menu yet, I suppose) and kinda pricey in Singapore. I suppose I had to find alternatives somehow. 

The beverages section from Elemen is actually quite fancy with many beautiful drinks. I am such a weakling against gimmicky drinks and since I don't drink this kind of drink on daily basis anyway, I suppose it's fine to drink these weirdly colored drink once in a while? My colleague did give me a look when I ordered this Iced Coconut Mint. The blue color "supposedly" come out from the butterfly pea flower but to be honest with you I am pretty skeptical about the uhh, supposedly natural coloring used to create this beautiful drink. Taste good by the way, so you probably won't lose anything. LOL. 

Desserts section is composed of both heavy and light kind of desserts. If you still have some space left in your belly, you may want to order the heavy dessert, sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream on top of it. It tastes like what sticky date pudding is expected to taste which is sweeeeeettttt. I don't think this is the kind of dessert that you would like to finish by yourself. 

If you, like me, are already full from the greedy order of previous courses, you may want to opt for lighter dessert such as snow chrysanthemum with grass jelly. Definitely taste lighter compared to the sticky date pudding. If I eat the sticky date pudding first before this, I would probably feel that this dessert is bland. Hahaha.
