Impossible Pork Is Here in SG — Here Are 7 Places Where You Can Try The Plant-Based Meat Alternative

You’ve heard of Impossible Beef. Now, joining the family of plant-based meats, is the all-new Impossible Pork. Designed to satisfy pork-meat lovers, Impossible Pork features a mild savoury flavour with balanced umami richness that does not give a gamey or overpowering taste. It can be served in any ground meat dish that is cooked in a variety of ways, such as meatballs, dumplings, tacos, spring rolls, and even xiao long bao.

As it is made from plants, Impossible Pork is far more sustainable than its actual meat counterpart. When compared with traditional pork from pigs, Impossible Pork uses 81% less water, 66% less land and generates 77% less greenhouse gas emissions based on the ISO’s conforming Life Cycle Assessment. It is also certified gluten-free and contains no nitrates or animal hormones.

What might probably be one of its appealing traits is the nutritional benefits of Impossible Pork. If you swapped out real pork for a serving of Impossible Pork, you will be enjoying your meal guilt-free with no cholesterol, fewer calories, less total fat, less saturated fat and more than double the iron of actual pork meat.

Of course, it is hard to be entirely sold on the idea of going cold turkey on traditional pork meat. To help ease you into the concept of plant-based pork meat, Impossible has teamed up with over 120 restaurant outlets in Singapore to introduce you to the Impossible Pork across a diverse spread of cuisines.

Here’s a look at 7 places that serve Impossible Pork dishes on their menu.
