In the heart of Chinatown, along the sleazy quiet streets of Keong Saik Road, lies a row of shop lots with brightly lited glass windows. Looking in through these windows, you see shelves of books and bottled oils, a sleek bar counter, and a cozy dining area. The sign above the door reads ‘WHATEVER’.
We found this place through a friend’s recommendation and decided to check it out last Friday. The homepage sort of gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect in this place. And true enough, entering the door that night, we found the shop stacked from ceiling to floor with an amazing variety of New Age artifacts. A psychic healer was even seen wandering around the narrow quarters (guess she didn’t have much work to do that night.)
Food-wise was, how should I put it, everything a health nut would wish for - all vegetarian, mainly organic and high on nutrition. The menu says it all. It even highlights food that are Gluten Free (GF), Wheat free (WF), Dairy Free (DF), Egg Free (EF), and Sugar Free (SF). Only thing lacking is a dish with AF classification. All-Free.
I had pesto and cream linguine with pine nuts. Not scoring too high on the taste charts but what do you expect from healthy cooking.

Organic penne with arabiata sauce
Anyway after dinner we did not stay on to explore the other specialties that the shop offered. But it certainly deserves a second look.
