I apologise for the straw in shot 😫 Now you might be wondering, what ever should the straw be apologising for? After all, the onus is on us 🥁 to request that our drinks come without one. However, this particular plastic straw came in uninvited. I’m tired of having to beg for #nostraw establishment after establishment just to have them not listen and serve it anyways 😞 At least this #cucumberjuice was refreshing 🥒 If you’ve never heard of the drink before, give it a shot. It actually tastes a lot better than it sounds. Just make sure to ask for less sugar here while you’re at it 🐢

What’s the point of going to a restaurant like this if you aren’t going to have baby #kailan 😋 It’s always a safe bet too cause it’s hard to mess up a vegetable this #crunchy 🥬 The #oystersauce we opted for was a simple cop-out; Yet another thing that pretty much always works out 😚

The portion on this, my gosh! 🤰 I knew I was craving #iron but in hindsight did we really need to order this much #cangkukmanis?? 🤭 While in Borneo, I suppose 😩 You get to hack their vegetable menu by choosing 1 of 16 vegetables and pairing it with any of their 6 vegan-friendly cooking styles. If I lived in K.K. I would #abillionhacks the heck out of this for sure 🙈 Considering the restaurant is #alliumfree it’s really just this plain-fry or the #sambal variety that I’d recommend considering the sweeter flavour of this vegetable. I mean, it’s in the name 🤷‍♀️

My friends are obsessed with #toona ever since I introduced it to them as an #alliumfree alternative for many dishes 🙈 This unfortunately was lacking that #toon punch that we were looking it, though it still gave to a nice earthy aftertaste. This #friedrice is pretty standard and sticks to the theme of this being one of those basic Chinese family diners 😇 Really just basic vegetables and some #veganham tossed with rice, nothing more. Remember to #droptheegg if you order this cause by default they do feed you avian ovarian secretions for some strange reason 🐓🥚🤨⁉️

This is the dish that solidified my opinion of this restaurant 😋 Don’t make the mistakes we did ordering anything other than what you’d find at a #classic Chinese family diner 🥢 This #claypot was amazing! Your eyes aren’t fooling you 🙈 The #veganchicken actually had #roasted skin!! 🙌 Of, but without the murder of course 🐣💛 I can’t tell if it’s plain old #beancurdskin they used or if it’s actually one of those #veganduck strips you’d find at some vegetarian economy rice shops. Whatever the case, the flavour, the melt, the way it felt.. 🤤 Plus all the greens in here too! It made up for everything wrong with their #rendang and more 💕

My Dutch grandmother could probably fix a #mapotofu more #spicy than this 🙄 I don’t mean to throw shade, but it’s in the name. It lacks any #mince too unfortunately though it does try to make up for it in #mushroom and a ginormous portion of #tofu. RM16 is actually alright given this is pricey Kota Kinabalu we’re talking about plus the restaurant seems to be one of those “reunion dinner” type traditional places. Unfortunately I’ve had enough of those to know that the food at these kind of places are typically not too good unless you really shell out a lot of cash 🤦‍♀️ For what it is, it’s alright. We were just happy to have this much #protein after a week deprived in Mulu 💆‍♀️

This is the worst #rendang I’ve ever had in my life 👎 It was sweet, the #fakemeat was oddly tough, and worst of all it was watery. I was led on by the numerous Malay staff that possibly the chef knew what they were doing. I’d stick to the more basic Chinese vegetarian dishes here.

素食之旅，2天一夜！住在hotel 7 suria,走下楼就有间素食馆，对于我们素食者是非常方便的。吃饱了还能逛逛街，喝喝茶！ #sabah

Rasa masam manis pahit seperti kehidupan kita juga. Perkena dengan nasi putih mantap sekali ya ampun. Namun tidak boleh dimakan hari-hari, kerana ia boleh mengundang kesunyian di dalam dompet :/.

Pineapple Bean Curd

Loved the pineapple ginger sauce! The bean curd was very meaty but if you bite in there’s not much taste going on–longer marination might help but idk. Finished the dish and my steamed rice. 🍛 #veganuary
