This is gonna be a longer #review than usual. It’s actually more about this restaurant than the dish itself. You have been warned… So I discovered this place through Grab and was excited to see this mysterious restaurant. This way I could finally directly them ask about which dishes could be #veganized 🤩 I mean… looking at the Grab menu alone was enough to attract me. So it’s the most modest looking shack (shoot. I’ll take a picture for next time)
What you see before you was, actually, supposed to have your typical criss-cross drizzle of chilli sauce and mayo; as opposed to the dark sauce on the side you’ll notice here. Now… As soon as I made it known to the lady boss that I needed something vegan NOT vegetarian, she was infinitely understanding equal parts accommodating. She was so nice, she zipped off for a moment to bring the tub of mayo they use to show me the label. I, then, confirmed the mayo did contain milk powder. When the lady understood, she really understood. I mean she sort of went into this determined auntie mode of gastronomical problem solving 😂💗 Even though I had told her I’ll just have it sauceless, she came to my table (you order at the counter), to voluntarily offer me the black pepper sauce 🥲😌 What’s more… Upon serving me my dish, she said to let her know if I wanted more sauce. It even felt clear she implied there’d be no additional charge 🥰 So though they’re a lot more vegetarian friendly than vegan, I truly believe they’re headed towards more completely plant-based options. You can feel the love in all the people who work there (I believe they’re mostly family). #veganisnotscary
I’m pretty sure I could taste the love in my meal… The #mockmeat was incredible and handled perfectly. Also, the black pepper sauce was probably the strongest I’ve ever had and did not end up asking for more from the lady 😂 Little bonus for me was how the accompanying vege sides weren’t dressed up in anything (not a coleslaw fan). I also liked how it’s yellow rice so it has more flavour. It’s a subtle but powerful level up if you ask me 😋
For me, the portion was just perfect to fill me up 👌 for a pretty decent RM 8. Although, with this thoughtful level of service… the value is exponentially propelled to a step down from being a steal 😊
I can’t stop recommending this place! I even got this place #omnivoreapproved from a hard-ass friend who borders on being carnivorous. Though, those #vegetarian folks will probably have the best time here 🥳
