This is the healthier version of Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶). Unlike the Singapore version which tends to be light and peppery, I found the Malaysian version to be more flavorful, with a herbal and sweeter taste. I like Idealite as they generally use natural ingredients eg. beancurd, tofu puffs, lettuce and a variety of mushrooms. Comes with half a boiled egg by default that you can request to remove. #penang #healthy #bakkutteh

This cold dish brings me a warm nostalgia to my second day of #veganuary in 2021 https://www.abillion.com/reviews/5ff077e1698c7e00a181c74a 🤗 It’s really a simple #sushi of carrot 🥕, lettuce 🥬, cucumber 🥒, purple cabbage 👾, what tasted like a #soyfloss of sort 🆓 plus what might be radishes 🦴 topped with a sweet, semi #umami sauce with a sprinkle of #sesameseeds 🚏 wrapped in #popiah paper à la #summerrolls 🤌 The sauce has grown on me since my having it every other Tuesday as part of their membership perks 🤭 Its really tasty and makes losing all those vacation pounds I’ve put on a little tastier! #veganisnotscary

I get this exclusively for the #tofu 🫘 The #couscous (or #millet, in hindsight) was a little dry though 🌾 There’s a huge bed of lettuce under the bowl and there was plenty of perfectly cooked vegetables 🥦 The #sesame sauce was great too though I wouldn’t put too much of it — It’s pretty flavoured 🥵 Love their #powerbowl options! #veganisnotscary

When you order it remember to #droptheegg 🐣 I don’t know why they bother with it anyways 🤦‍♀️ The #fivespice flavour is amazing! I swear I’ve had this before at another branch but I can’t find my previous review 🙈 There was bits of both #tofu and #hericiummushroom — The latter coming at a surprise! Definitely recommended 💯 #penangvegan #veganisnotscary

This is insane 😂 I uh, have reading comprehension issues so I thought this was a #szechuan fried #vermicelli with #mushrooms 🍄 Turns out it isn’t and it’s just a giant à la carte serving of #mushroom, corn, and #beancurd crisps 🤭 The #corn was a nice touch! It balanced out the #mala flavour out really well 🌽 Make sure there’s some in every bite! I ended up making do with this and some rice generously donated by @m1tch9i 🤗 It’s not the best & the profile is very one note, aside the corn. Perhaps more texture is needed? Something is lacking 🤷‍♀️ #veganisnotscary

Don’t even bother with the #bbqsauce 👎 The real reason you’ll order this is for Idealite’s perfect #batter 🙌 They know how to #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease the hell out of vegetables & #mushrooms while keeping it #healthy, low-calorie and perfectly flavoured 💛 This is perfect for a little extra-extra with their fish head vermicelli https://www.abillion.com/dishes/idealite-elit-avenue-vegetarian-fish-head-vermicelli-10434397 😉 #penangvegan #veganisnotscary

This #mushroomsoup was the real deal 🙏 It done reminded me what a soup’d #mushroom ought to taste like 🍄 If you done were to milk #mushrooms from heaven they’d taste just like 🥺 So creamy, so thick, when this were had there was left not a lick 👅 #penangvegan #veganisnotscary

Not me thinking this was the best Idealite dish at one point 😭 It’s still good but now it’s second place in my heart! 💓 The #leicha is fantastic and really I’d argue that #vermicelli absorbs it much better than rice can 😉✌️ #penangvegan #veganisnotscary

I hope this is still around the next time I’m in Penang 🤞 They seem to have removed it from their online menu! This is my favourite dish 😭 I have a whole chain of reviews of this amazing #fishhead vermicelli https://www.abillion.com/dishes/idealite-moulmein-vegetarian-fish-head-vermicelli-10432858 🐠 Standing in for the #veganfish is a whole bunch of #deepfried artery-clogging #fritters 🍄 Battered #mushroom and #eggplant to be precise 🍆 All that, #vermicelli & #tofu in an amazing #soymilk based broth 🤤 I’m still obsessed… …and SHOOK if this is no longer on the menu 😤 #penangvegan #veganisnotscary #bestpicks #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease

This might be a limited edition! I just checked the online menu and it’s no longer there 😭 You’ll have to #asktoveganize by having them #droptheegg 🐣 I love the combination of #hericiummushroom, #tofu and #blackfungus 🍄 It’s actually a perfect stand-in for the omnivorous version of this dish — vinegar pig #trotter 🐷 Not to get into details, but black fungus oddly makes a good immitation of the pig ears they sometimes throw into the original 🫥 Why would you eat that crueler version with this available? It’s healthier too 😉 You can #dobetter 🙌 #penangvegan #veganisnotscary

Tu Kar Chor Rice

Idealite just blows every other food chain out of the water for me 👏 A #healthy eating one, no less! This plating was just creative 💯 The combination of #mapotofu and #noodles is one I don’t see nearly enough! It simply boggles me so because hello, how more perfect a combo can it be? 😵 Idealite’s #tofu, much like their #soymilk is nothing short of amazing and it definitely stood out here. You’ll find the #ramen littered with matchstick carrots 🥕 and cucumbers 🥒 and unfortunately the #evilweed 🙅‍♀️ They claim to use a #wholewheat ramen and you can definitely tell 😋 Bites are textured and a little more chewy than usual. There’s a slight oversight though 😮 The #mapo sauce they use does not mix very well or is just insufficient for the portion they give — 638kcal by the way! I’m hoping it’s a fluke and yours fares better, but keep that in mind when ordering! #penangvegan #veganisnotscary

So creamy, so refreshing 😋 Must be the kanten #jelly — whatever that is! The #avocado in there was a treat too plus 🥑 Who doesn’t love a #smoothie on a warm day? 🌞 #veganisnotscary #bestpicks
