• The best vegan food in Kuala Lumpur

Visited The Origin on our last night in KL for dinner after reading glowing reviews and were not disappointed in the slightest. It was a short cab ride away from KLCC, so don't let the location deter you. The menu has a wide variety of dishes including Chinese, Thai and Malay cuisine 98% of which are fully vegan. The food was absolutely incredible - flavourful, filling, light and beautifully presented. Highly recommend the stir fried pumpkin, Thai tofu with passion fruit, Italian style mushrooms (so creamy!) and the tempeh rendang. The matcha blended soy milk shake is also great. The service was prompt and food was brought over quickly despite a busy restaurant. Only qualm was that the server told us we ordered too much and took it upon himself to try to cancel some of our order items - we had to insist that we wanted it all - a little bit off putting even if he was concerned about food wastage. Overall by far the best vegan food we had in KL and in Malaysia so far. A must visit for some healthy, tasty and wholesome plant based food - no MSG or too much salt/oil which is a huge plus.
