Review of Xiang Chun Fried Rice at The Legend Vegetarian Cafe by m1tch9i

As legendary as their food can be, it was surprisingly tough to find a protein dish that was 100% vegan-friendly. So I had to opt for this as my rice dish over plain rice in an effort to add as much flavour and nutrients possible.

I’ll tell you now, despite being Chinese I don’t know Mandarin. Thus, making this a mildly risky choice for me not being very certain of what this may be. Kindly, my friend raced to ask Ms. Google and found it to be a type of Chinese #soy based sauce. But what else is new?

I had to request they omit the egg it usually is cooked with. Leaving me with a slightly under-seasoned fried rice. And that’s saying a lot considering I’m not very heavy-handed with salt in my meals. Although, the flavour was a nice change of pace from the usual sauces found in Chinese fried rice. What’s also interesting is how dry it looks but it’s actually quite moist when you bite into the well-cooked rice.

For a personal size at RM 6.50 🤔 It’s not bad but could be great with more seasoning or another flavour component.

Putting this dish aside, I’d still highly recommend the restaurant 👌 More vegetarians than vegans though..
