It seems like just about everyone has got themselves into the #fermentation game post #covid19 🦠 This was a #matcha based #kombucha and it is not for me 🙅‍♀️ Way too sweet! Their seasonal option changes from time to time so you’ll never get the same thing, unless it’s the same season of course 🤷‍♀️ Just gotta make sure yours has no #honey because this place still serves that and dairy & egg 🐣 Embarrassing much? 🫥

I love the #carrotcake here 🥕 Their #bakedgoods are all vegan 🌱 Or at least they were today & their #cake is exceptional! 🙌 This time they did it sans #walnuts & used a #coconutcream but really I don’t think you taste it 🥥 @m1tch9i thinks otherwise but she has the ability to taste hay in a needle stack 🪡 Highly recommended! 😋

I think calling this #zesty is a stretch 🤏 Salty, more like. The entire thing tastes like they poured the leftover water from the #olives over it 🫒 Delicious, but not what I was expecting 🤷‍♀️ The portion is also quite an ask for RM33 and I think this could be better with a bit of #tofu to neutralise the flavour 🫘 I did still like it though 😇 The #salad itself is simple — #quinoa plus #cherrytomatoes 🍅, plus #cucumber 🥒, and #avocado 🥑 and topped with #redcabbage too plus a simple #balsamic vinaigrette on the side too. You can add on more if you’d like, such as #bakedbeans or #corn kernels 🌽 but I can’t imagine any of them working. Sauteed #mushrooms perhaps? 🍄 Real Food is a nice #cafe to work from & their #coffee is solid so I’ve you’ve got a buck to spare and need a place to #veganatwork it’s a good shout 🗣️ Wifi is great too! #healthy #healthyfood #quinoasalad

Zesty Quinoa

Reading off the menu 👉 ultra dense (my own) mashed curried #chickpeas + #sweetpotatoes Texture's just off, akin to having a block of spiced, compact mud and that somehow had a spillover effect, resulting in a general decline of the dish on the whole. The vegan #tartar failed to moisturize the 2 tiny slabs of really dry #cake. Only bright spark 👉 yeap, fresh and clean #eatyourgreens which brings me to the next question. Paying RM34 for #salad, #vegandressing aside? 🤔

#levain #bread with a mild tang (apart from #tomatopuree) and more complex a flavour to be expected. RM6 pricey for a tiny 7cm #bun with missing in action #basil Real Food + Slow Bakes (Singapore) Real Food + Le Pan (Malaysia) Slow Bakes & Le Pan = #plantbased bakery

In their defence, I did have this the day after out the fridge without warming it up first 🙈 The inside was kinda dry but the skin of this.. 🤤 It’s weird but it’s almost as if it had this sweet outer layer? If your parents raised you right, #raisinlover and all, this is the bun for you 😉 Otherwise, get yourself checked hun it’s not normal to hate #raisins in your 30s you desaturated peanut 💀💀

My number one problem with their other #veganburger option is that at the end of the day, it’s just a #mushroompatty 🤷‍♀️ It’s not going to fill you up, unlike this meal that actual packs volume 💪 It’s still #mushroom based, but this time packed with roasted #walnuts, #quinoa, and #lentils 🏋️‍♀️ Talk about #protein! It also did come with a side but I was apparently too buzzed off some cheap Chinese liquor to take a photo of what exactly we got 😂 Erm… #tofu? #tiledreview

Lentil Quinoa Coquette

I honestly just got this because it was vegan & green 😂 Only later did it register that it’s my favourite - #redbean flavoured 🙌 IT WAS SO GOOD 🤤 My only regret is having it cold the morning after without the option to at least microwave it before-hand 🥹 While their food doesn’t quite speak to everyone, their bakes definitely do! Give it a shot 😋

Spinach Red Bean Bun

Absolutely more people need to give this place a shot 🙌 If you avoid their #noodles, it’s literally banger after banger 💥 These are really the most #aubergine and might I even say #eggplant of all time 😤🍆 Highly recommended for they/them #garlic sluts in the crowd. I could never, but I see you 👀 #tiledreview

I think it’s long enough that I’m warranted a review of this again! I don’t think there’s much I can add about this #pizza apart from the fact that it’s absolute bomb 💣 The #pizzacrust just keeps getting better here! The friends I was with loved it - it’s bloody #tomyum on #veganpizza hello?? If you’re ever in Penang.. 🏝️ #bestpicks #tiledreview

It’s 2am and right on schedule my sleep demon wakes me up to remind of.. #cinnamonrolls 🎢 Both my partner and I got this to take home for #dessert after our mains at the restaurant and it was so so good 😋 The #cinnamon tasty as ever and of course the bun incredibly fluffy 🐇 Really worth getting it.

It’s much better than their cabbage dumplings https://www.abillion.com/reviews/6072c21ecb96d90095758b74 for sure but at an additional RM2 to make it #gyoza style - basically just with a side of rice vinegar and ginger slices, it really isn’t all too special. The filling was alright, but they somehow managed to make the whole thing taste #toohealthy. I didn’t taste a hint of that #sesameoil 😕 Shame this place. Their Asian dishes really pale in comparison to their western dishes. Perhaps the local clientele prefer that too healthy palate? #dobetter #dumplings
