One of top 3 vegan choices in KL

5 Posted on 10 / 14 / 2012

Buffet at lunch time (11:30 AM-2 PM, Monday-Friday, except holidays) with too many to count items, separate noodle station, separate healthy station, separate miscellaneous station, plus extra stuff to buy at the cash register.
Recommended: curry laksa with rice; BBQ mock meat; okra
Wed or Friday they do sesame balls (the specialty/miscellaneous station seems to do something different every day) also have vegan peanut butter cookies and most recently donuts-which were a real treat and are pretty awesome when you get them fresh off the fryer.
Money wise they're practically giving away the food

Pros: great food, many choices, DONUTS!!!
Cons: outside-hot, I've seen a rat running around

Peaceful and affordable

A simple and yummy meal within a Buddhist Temple. The meal was very affordable. Lots of indignation posted on vegetarianism around the cafeteria. You can stay and listen to a dharma talk or spend some time in the reading room. Some books are available by donation.

Pros: Affordable, Peaceful, Yummy

Cheap price, good buffet & noodles! Value for $!

I went to this place also before I became a vegetarian and was surprised at the price & variety of the buffet & on top of that they had noodles & desserts! A calm atmosphere as it's located in a Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy Temple right smack in the middle of town)

Pros: Price, Variety, Location
Cons: Parking, Closed on Saturday

Cheap Lunch, Nice Food

I always go to this temple to have my lunch. It is really reasonable to spend a lunch there. There not only mixed rice provided, like fried mee, mee soup, nasi lemak, dessert, snack, juices....etc. Mostly I take a big plate of rice and three types of dishes and it only cost me RM3.50. I am working at KL Golden Triangle, it is a good news to those people who work at KL. It is really save: save money, safe the live and safe for your health. Although it is a temple, it open for public but Saturday is not operating. Sunday is open due to the Buddhist come to pray and also sell food as well.

Pros: Nice Food, Varieties Choice, Healthy Cuisine
Cons: More convenience for walking distance, Hard to find parking

The Best Buffet ever

5 Posted on 02 / 22 / 2010

I'm not a fan of buffets but this is a most impressive display of so many types of veggie cooking. It's incredibly cheap with amazing yummy salad options, loads of different noodle options (one had a lovely pumpkin sauce). It seems to be totally vegan as well.

Loads of different fake meat options. There was a chicken drumstick wrapped around a popsicle stick with a texture that made feel uncomfortable to consume due to it's psuedo fleshy nature. Great sauces and soups. The only down side is the rather functional cafeteria style seating and the fact that it is only open for lunch Mon to Fri.

A definate must for superb and gourmet veggie cuisine in KL.

Pros: really good value, gourmet, original
Cons: limited opening times, cafeteria style seating, only one of them need more

Best Vegan Buffet Ever. I love it!

We lived in the center of KLCC . It was very walkable, about 10 minutes, through the mall, and then 5 minutes walk to the monastery. It was difficult to find the place because there were temples/prayers in the front, but it was located in the back of the monastery. The food buffets are very amazing--so many new things to try everyday with the faux soy meat, beancurds, vegetables, vegan drumstick, noodles, soups, porridge, and salad (burgers/pita like sandwich)! They even have vegan sweet baked goods and dimsum related foods, which is a must to bring these joys back to your place, and the fruits are amazingly prepped and at cheaper value compared to grocery stores in KLCC! Currently from the U.S. & Denmark, we, without a high doubt, enjoy eating out there few times a week. The value was very more than affordable than ever. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is vegan and vegetarian. They do not use MSG or oil at all--they use brown sugar and alternatives to healthy cooking, which is amazing. Usually a plate of rice with those many dishes to try costs about 3 - 6.50 myr depending on how much you take. Besides, you save a lot if you bring your own plastic container!

Do check out our photos shown above! Enjoy!

Pros: Fabulous Cheap Foods, New Things to Try Every weekday, Friendly Chefs (staff)
Cons: Closed Weekends, No Napkins, No Air Conditioning, but Fan

Great place

5 Posted on 01 / 09 / 2009

This is a wonderful place to eat, though we suggest coming early. We arrived at 1:40 pm, and weren't able to take full advantage, as many items had run out. The food we did manage to eat was still fresh and delicious, with lots of wonderful options. It's sort of cafeteria style. Load up. No matter how much you take, it won't cost much. This was the cheapest meal we've ever eaten, as two of us dined with two full plates, dessert (fruit) and cocunut milk for 10 RM. No point in relating what we ate, as it changes, but it was all good. No super atmosphere here (though the temple in front is beautiful), with long metal tables, but that doesn't hurt the place. It's well worth a visit. By the way, this is about 500m walk from the Petronas towers.

Pros: food, amazing value
Cons: come early!
