It has come to this 😔 DIY #currymee at Life Cafe because they refuse to just make this a thing! I mean, I guess there’s a plus to them not serving this with #rice by default ✌️ They’ve also changed the #fakemeat a bit 🤏 It’s now a more cakey #seitan which absorbs a lot more of the #curry than before. The #vegancurry, for what it’s worth, tastes better now too 🥘 …or Singapore has left me desperate, idk 🤷‍♀️ This is as of 24th October 2024 by the way 😉 since this whole #bringbackdates thing is going nowhere 😭

This is going to be my new staple at Life Cafe! 🍵 Goodbye, ginseng #chicken https://www.abillion.com/dishes/life-cafe-brighton-square-pork-free-restaurant-veg-ginseng-chicken-soup-10325157 👋 The #soup / #gravy is very thick and starchy and super #savoury 😋 There’s not a tonne of #mushroom per se but the flavour is very much present. They have this really delicious #fakemeat suspended in the #broth that really absorbs so much of the flavour. Unlike the ginseng soup too this set comes with rice 🍚 I really like this 😇 #bestpicks #souplover #veganchicken

This is my favourite dish at Life Cafe now 😋 It was also the first I ever had many moons ago when @m1tch9i first took me to their Brighton Square outlet https://www.abillion.com/dishes/life-cafe-brighton-square-pork-free-restaurant-veg-ginseng-chicken-soup-10325157 🌝 Since then, I’ve grown more fond of this #soup 😊 My praise for its balance of #ginger and #ginseng remains the same. Such a perfect balance of #savoury and warm 🌞 I’ve also grown even more fond of the #veganchicken they use cause as much as I’m fond of their #friedchicken, the simply pleasure of how some #fakemeat just melt in your mouth is what drew me to them as a kid 🐐 No word on if this is #soybased or some mix of #seitan but it’s plenty soft ⛅️ Just make sure to order a serving or plain rice or noodles alongside if you’re hoping for more than #vegansoup 😉

I got this #offthemenu 🎉 though according to @m1tch9i “lifers” would know that all their noodle dishes used to come with #seaweedsoup 🍲 We got this for free because they forgot our order and left us waiting for a good half an hour 🤦‍♀️ This is.. not the best branch. But hey, free #soup? It’s still a #secretmenu item that you can ask for anyways though and it’s and real nice 😉 Vegetarian #oystersauce and #seaweed, talk about a #umamibomb! 💣

It’s odd that some dishes here don’t have a side of rice. Case in point, this fascinating #curry #chicken dish before me 😮 I had this among many other sides with @dafnelately for dinner a couple months back. She confidentially remarked it wasn’t #spicy 😊 I could only catch her brother’s amused chuckle after the bite 😂 My first bite gave a wonderfully #aromatic #spice hit. Not 5 seconds later, the #spicy punched me in the throat 🥵 It wasn’t super spicy but it wasn’t mild! I think it went really well with how #sweet this #vegancurry was. Though, gladly, it held more savouriness than their other saucey selections 😋 This majesty of #spices was the perfect coating to the bouncy #mockmeat as well as the gently boiled carrots and potatoes 😝 Personally, I don’t need a lot of bite. So this softness was just great. I reckon it’s meant to provide consistency to marry with the soft pieces of tofu too 😜 This was RM 18.90… I remember being none too please about that the first time I read it. And yet, I’d probably order this again on a slight splurge 😗

Talk about gravvyyyy 😝 This sauce is the sauciest #sauce I’ve slurped. This does come with #whiterice that I forgot to photograph. My apologies 🙏 As initially stated, this was very #gravy -like 😗 we’re talking a noicee #thicc consistency 👌 It’s just a touch sweeter than I would want in a #salty-sweet dish. I suspect the carrot overstepped and imbued more sweetness than it should have 🫣 It was still went very nicely with the soft and slightly bouncy #mockchicken 🤔 Though I wouldn’t say it would be very recognisable as #chicken so much as it would as a generic identifiable #mockmeat 😛 I could’ve had more #mushroom flavour but it’s still a solid choice, overall 👍 RM 17.90? It’s a hefty price. Despite, the grandeur of the portion… it’s still pretty steep 😬 I’d order it as a nice treat once in a while but not for my savoury meal fixings 🫢

Hey, while I’m reviewing dishes here from last I might as well get back to these #throwback reviews from months past 😅 Did you know that #veganisnotscary to such an extent that I have an album with 2000+ photos of dishes to review? Don’t even get me started on my notes app with the “tasting notes” and hints for future reviews! 📝 I do judge food by it’s appearances, sorry not sorry for being problematic 🤷‍♀️ but gosh can’t you just tell that this is an amazing #curry! It wasn’t as #spicy as I had hoped for, more a comforting warm than anything else but it was delicious in its own right 😋 Thick too! Nothing too much to say of their potato 🥔 or #fakemeat 🐣 additions, it was great all around!

The last time I was in Kuching literally none of their branches had the #vermicelli available 😂 Shame though cause it’s the only #eggfree noodle option they have and #noodles seems to be their specialty here! The staff seem quite confident though that their #fakemeat is #veganfriendly; It’s really just the noodles that you ought look out for 😇 The thicker vermicelli over the thinner variant definitely scored points in my texture over all dining preference and their “M” level of #spicy was just a light tingle, lovely! Served with some bok choy 🥬, carrots 🥕, and tiny bits of garnish 🌿, it’s a pretty passable meal altogether 😇 I’m dining vegan in small old Kuching, #veganisnotscary at all!

I still remember being sick the week I had this 🤒 which is exactly why I ordered it. It’s interesting that most of their dishes offer a side of rice but not this one 🤔 though the portion might be why. This was just the warm #comfortfood I needed to ease my ailment. It’s got #chineseherbs aplenty 😙 also #ginseng and #gojiberry galore! Among #medicinalfoods that have comforted #chinese folk for thousands of years with the deep soothing #broth 😋 It may be considered almost under-salted but not for me! The #mockmeat appears to be #mockmutton according to @dafnelately 🤓 a helpful note to know it’s #vegan 🙌 I recall this was about RM21 because I thought it was quite expensive. However, it’s a worthy serving size to share for 2 or 3 👍 I’ve ordered it again since 😌 and will do so again in the future 😉 #healthiswealth

First meal in Kuching 😋 Got this a day ago after I landed with the lovely @m1tch9i 💗 “Well seasoned”’s the word as she would describe it. It’s an ample level of salty that both carries and pacifies the otherwise intense flavours of ginger and ginseng 🌿 Like any herbal soup, you’d find goji berry and Chinese dates present but not in any amount I’d hope for; I’m greedy with my sweets 🤭 The #fakemeat was great too! Chances are it’s the lamb or chicken bits by Everbest based on the texture but neither of us pried into too many details 😇
