Victor Veggie – Vegetarian Satay That Could be Mistaken for Real Meat!

I’ll say it straight, mock meat is not my cup of tea. If I ever ordered vegetarian food, I would never get it. So, when I heard about Victor Veggie, I was very iffy about it. “How good can mock meat taste?” Well, I was about to find out.

Victor, who is a vegetarian, has been making vegetarian satay for 40 years now. I asked him where he learnt how to make his food, to which he replied, “I came up with them myself.” Colour me impressed.

Other than satay, he makes vegetarian otah too. He does have some other dishes but I went too early and they were not ready yet. So I got 10 sticks of satay ($0.80 each | min. 10 sticks), and two otah ($0.80 each).

Can you tell that the satay at Victor Veggie is not made out of meat? Because, at first glance, and many glances after, I couldn’t.

The “meat” was charred to the point that it had crispy edges, crunch and all. I have a feeling it’s because it’s made out of soy protein, and that crisps up better and easier than real meat does. The texture is closest to chicken, I would say. The “meat” itself had that distinct smoky satay sweetness. It was overshadowed by the even sweeter nutty peanut sauce but, I’m not complaining. The combination of the two was like a match made in heaven. I never liked mock meat. But this? I dig it. If you thought hard about it, you can feel that the texture is somehow not right, but really, it could have anyone fooled. Would definitely eat it again.

The otah didn’t impress me as much, unfortunately. It was too soft, maybe even slightly mushy, for my liking. The seasoning and spices were spot on, but the texture of the soy protein here ruined it for me. You should still try it out, but I would recommend the satay more.

Victor Veggie is definitely a cut above the rest in terms of making mock meat taste real. Still don’t believe me? Then come on down and try it for yourself!
