One of the appetisers that people have been raving about is the Omni Luncheon Fries ($8) which comes with four variants of dipping namely, Thai chilli, BBQ, truffle and honey mustard. If you just simply can’t give up on the meatballs, we highly recommend you to try the meatless meatballs ($10) which are created from OmniMeat and Beyond Meat Meatballs then served with marinara sauce. The Omni Musubi ($9) is also a perfect option, especially for Japanese food lovers. The sushi is topped with OmniMeat Luncheon which is glazed with teriyaki sauce and pineapple chilli chutney is added as a garnish.

Personally, we are head over heels with the Omni kimchi fried rice ($16) as it delivers intense flavours of subtle spiciness and kimchi. Another dish that people frequently ordered is the Hainanese trick’ en rice ($16) which uses the Heura chicken as a substitute. This hawker food is certainly a must-have whenever you’re in Green common. If you’re a true Asian at heart, make sure to order the rendang chicken roti ($13) which comes with roti prata and rendang chicken that is made from potatoes and Heura chicken.
