East Restaurant

East Restaurant is a 100% vegetarian venue. No meat or fish appears anywhere on the menu. Every dish carries either a V (vegetarian) or VG (vegan) code, making the kitchen structurally impossible to cross-contaminate with meat. The venue describes itself as presenting 'an innovative and flavourful vegetarian menu designed to share.'

East is a 100% vegetarian restaurant, serving no meat or fish of any kind. Pescatarians, who avoid meat but may eat fish, face zero risk of meat cross-contamination because the kitchen is entirely plant-based.

The menu marks dishes GFI (gluten free ingredients) or GFIO (gluten free ingredients option available) per dish. Edamame (VG, GFI), Typhoon shelter fried rice (VG, GFI), Kimchi (VG, GFI), and Salted caramel chocolate tart (VG, GFI, N) are examples. Gluten-containing dishes are served throughout the same kitchen. Dumplings, spring rolls, wontons, pancakes, and bao are all on the menu. The venue’s own disclaimer states: ‘We cannot guarantee the food preparation environment is free from traces of all allergens.’ GFI denotes ingredient-level selection only, not a dedicated preparation environment. The restaurant is not suitable for coeliacs requiring a guaranteed trace-free environment.

The menu marks individual dishes VG (vegan) or VGO (vegan option available). The drinks menu features 'organic and vegan friendly wines.' Most dishes are already VG. Some dishes contain egg, such as Pad Thai with 'tofu, egg, mung bean' and Char kway teow with 'egg, garlic chives.' At least one dessert contains dairy, a Matcha basque cheesecake with 'latte macchiato gelato.' The venue's own disclaimer states: 'We cannot guarantee the food preparation environment is free from traces of all allergens,' which confirms shared preparation. Staff awareness is implied by the detailed per-dish marking.

The menu marks nut-containing dishes with an N: Som tam (peanut), Mango salad (cashew), Pad Thai (peanut), Water chestnut wontons (peanut crumb), Spicy Kung Pao (cashews), Salted caramel chocolate tart (peanut, crushed almond), and Yum Cha glutinous rice taro roll (peanut, sesame). Dishes not marked with N are nominally nut-free by ingredient, but a kitchen-wide disclaimer, 'We cannot guarantee the food preparation environment is free from traces of all allergens,' confirms shared preparation. This restaurant is not appropriate for severe anaphylaxis without direct consultation.

The menu uses a key with codes such as DF for dairy free and DFO for dairy free option available. Most dishes carry a VG (vegan) marking, meaning they contain no dairy by ingredient. At least one dessert explicitly contains dairy: the Matcha basque cheesecake with latte macchiato gelato, which is marked V rather than VG. The disclaimer notes a shared preparation environment. Diners with dairy intolerance can use the VG markings to identify safer dishes, but the kitchen is not trace-free.

The menu uses VG and V labels to indicate egg content. VG dishes contain no egg; V dishes may contain egg. Dishes that include egg are Pad Thai (tofu, egg, mung bean), Char kway teow (egg, garlic chives), Street style warm noodles (egg, Asian greens), and Portuguese egg tart. Some dishes are marked VGO, meaning a vegan option is available and egg can be omitted on request. A shared kitchen disclaimer applies.
