I previously reviewed their iftar buffet which was truly exceptional, but who would've thought that their regular weekday lunchtime #buffet spread would also be so delightful 😋 I also wonder how many people in the city have the time of day to sit down and fully enjoy such an offering; my office is a 3-minute walk away and this was my first time coming in for #lunch! (Occasion was someone's farewell lunch, so props to HR for organising something vegan-friendly 💪) About 60% of the spread (roughly) which you see was marked vegan. A few things were vegetarian, and the rest was omnivorous. I love how they flipped the script where usually the omnivores would get the 60% and we feed off scraps 🥲 There's way too much for me to go into detail here, and I bet the menu rotates like crazy. It suffices to know that if you're looking for a mix of #middleeastern #malay and #chinese, some #toohealthy and some considerably less so, then this is a place where you can #spoilyourself and go back to work with a 100% worth-it #foodcoma ☺️ RM65 IIRC; HR paid 😛

To everyone who is celebrating, #EidMubarak /Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 🌙🎉🟢💚 I grew up in a Muslim-majority society, and to this day my mind is still blown by the sheer discipline and devotion required to perform daily fasting for an entire month. I can't go 2 hours without nibbling on something, and will never understand how people manage the religious fast. Even if there may be a heatwave like what we've been having. Even if you have your daily life to live. Even if there's a war at your doorstep (#fromtherivertothesea 🙏) Just massive respect The upshot of all this is everyone gets magnificent, splendorous #iftar feasts at sundown, including those who don't have to fast 🤪 And if you want to put on weight, then Lisette's #buffet is a pretty good place to come and do it 😛 There's an ample selection, of which maybe 20% is meat and another 30% lacto-ovo vegetarian. That still leaves you with enough to stuff your face a few times over. I still have the taste of the #beetroot #hummus and the #sayurlodeh in my mouth this morning 🤤🤤 The best of #malaysianeats and levantine cuisine coming together, for RM65++ a head. Doesn't get much better, does it 😉

I had been meaning to try this for some time, usually put off by the mention of a 20-minute waiting time 😬 On this occasion we were getting starters so I knew I had that luxury. The alternative was not banking the dollar; I've been here so many times that I've run out of things to order. Not sure if it's just me, but I think the omni stuff is gradually squeezing out the vegan options on their menu 😟 In the end this wasn't really worth the wait and the build-up 😐 The #fusilli #pasta was undercooked. Never again will I complain about people missing the mark on al dente and erring on the side of overcooking; undercooking is a whole lot worse. Asymmetrical consequences. The #bolognese / #ragu with #fakemeat was okay, nothing to shout about. The portion size looks small because of the ridiculously large plate that they use, but that's also because it is small 😒 You'd definitely be #stillhungry unless you get a starter or a side or a dessert (or why not all 😛)

Lisette's is a 5-minute walk from my new workplace, and I'm sad to say that despite their recent evolution of the menu I am still out of new things to review 🥲 After the pair coming today, that is. They added this #starter (I think), a devilishly crispy and #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease interpretation of the #samosa 🤤 The filling is not bad but what the pastry does seals the 5-star review ☺️ The #chilli #chutney on the side is really good too; #spicy but not in an in-your-face way, and much more complex and inventive than the usual riff-off of sweet chilli sauce 😏

A treat for the eyes as much as for the palate 🤩 This #opensandwich comes with three bread options, of which only the #sourdough is vegan. Fun fact: Malaysians absolutely destroy bread by using milk to make it fluffy and soft. 9 out of 10 Malaysians miss "local bread" when abroad, I am number 10 😵 There is #avocado, there is #tomato, but best of all I loved the #rocket (advertised as parsley? 🤨) and #sunflowerseeds 😋 And the copious amounts of salt and pepper, cuz we don't wanna be too healthy do we? 😛

Lisette's is all about the cakes really, you'd tolerate their mains in order to be able to indulge your sweet tooth 😅 So in a way it's brilliant that they finally have a vegan-first option in their cake range, even if it's a bog standard #chocolatecake. The flavour is decently chocolatey, and attains a richness that you wouldn't think was possible without the use of dairy 😛 The caramelised almonds and walnuts on top were delicious too. Warning: it's a huge slice and it took 7 of us to finish it 😳
