It has been a tough few months but good food is always a mood booster. Porta at the Park Hotel Clarke Quay could be the place you are looking for: It offers up some familiar dishes and new ones, like tasty plant-based ‘meat’.
SINGAPORE (March 27): Plant-based meats have seen a huge growth in both demand and retail sales recently. When the plant-based meat producer Beyond Meat went public in May 2019, their shares grew almost to 150% more than their initial public debut. In fact, Swiss bank UBS expects the alternative meat market to grow by 28% a year to US$85 billion ($123.09 billion) in 2030. The popularity of plant-based proteins produced by companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Meat comes as no surprise as these alternative meats are said to generate up to 87% less greenhouse gases per burger. Finally, there is a way for meat-eaters to enjoy their favourite burgers and be socially-conscious in the process.
