A variety of food - Edit
The restaurant is located at the underground food corner of a shopping mall. There are different food to choose and you pay what you eat. There are also ala carte dishes and drinks. Overall, it was nice, especially for those who struggle finding vegan food in KK like me. And also affordable.

There were a good few vegetarian options like the mock meats and tofu dishes but only like two vegan options. A local helped us speak to the staff and see what was what.

Maybe it’s difficult to communicate, but they make every dish vegan upon request 🙏🏼

Glad to hear they did that for you but it was not offered as an option to us.
Read moreMaybe you speak Malay, maybe the members of staff who speak English were off when we were there but we communicated through another customer with good English so communication doesn't seem like it was the issue.

open early, fills you up - Edit
It is the standard good-value vegetarian self serve food court. Nothing amazing but grateful they are there, and open early. 4th star was for opening early 😆

Delicious food in a chaotic food court - Edit
Lots of vegan options for lunch and everything I tried was delicious. Staff were not particularly friendly and didn’t speak much English so you need to figure out what is in each dish. Bit pricier than other food court buffets (8 RM for rice and 3 dishes). The food court is crowded and very loud.

okay - Edit
okay food but nothing to get excited about. fair amount of vegan options but double-check, because not all staff are equally helpful or knowledgable about vegan requirements. most unatmospheric setting, brightly lit, noisy and in a basement.

Such a great place in KK! - Edit
For breakfast there's a buffet. Later you can either grab something from the buffet or order from the menu. Great food. The best orange juice I have ever had in Malaysia. Everything is extremely cheap! And after 4pm they even let you take a second helping from the buffet for free. Let them know if you don't want to get vegetarian meat - they add it to most dishes from the menu.
Read morePros: only veg food (so you can safely order anything), great taste, lovely owner

Great place - Edit
Food was excellent. Several options available and the staff/owners were friendly and helpful, even if we weren't always sure we understood each other.
Read moreWent back a week later and still delicious.
We went with Mee Goreng and some of the curry that was self service.
Mango juice also very tasty.
Located in the basement of an indifferent mall, so not a spectacular setting.

Vegan Curry!! - Edit
The owners understand veganism well, able to tell you which dishes are vegan. And I love the vegetable curry here, it is so damn delicious! They use coconut milk for the curry, which is rare to find because most of the vegetarian restaurants (I'd say 99% of them) use dairy milk for their curry. Thus, I'd give this restaurant a higher rating because of the vegan curry dish!!

Tasty but greasy food - Edit
We had breakfast here. Everything is vegetarian with most things vegan. Buffet style food in the basement of a shopping centre. All the food was nice but possibly a bit oily.
Read moreJuices are highly recommended. Prices are reasonable - around 8rm per plate.

Cons: The lady charging people wasn't very friendly at a, Charged me more than the the locals infront, Plastic waste- spoons, bags and containers.

I'm sorry for your unsatisfying experience. The lady is actually my mom, but if you come again, we would greatly appreciate to have you serve better at our shop.

Hard to find! - Edit
Not easy to find! Basic economic fried noodles for 5 or so ringgit. Good enough for a cheap meal! The place also serves drinks/juices/smoothies but only had 2 available out of an extensive menu when I visited.

Highly Recommend - Edit
Once you find the food court seating area for this place, you can definitely notice which one it is! Although signage leaves a bit to be desired, there was a steady stream of people lining up for a plate/box of food at the stall during lunch hour.
Read moreThe food was delicious and fresh - perfect if you don't want anything too fancy or could just do with a big plate of fresh vegetables. Had a lot of vegan options and staff were understanding and helpful in pointing out what was available.
Plates are priced per item you put on there, but at a very affordable rate (I had a huge plate for 7MYR) :))
Pros: Lots of options, Extremely affordable, Delicious
Cons: Poor signage, Food court ambience leaves a bit to be desired

Delicious food - Hidden in the food court - Edit
We got a 16 (rice dish) and a 19( noodle dish) both were made vegan for me. The lady at the counter was very helpful in talking through the menu and what could be adapted. The rice dish was really nice, the vegetables were perfect. It just needed a bit more sauce for how much rice there was. The noodle dish was superb. It was tastey had a mock meat in it that is super flavoursome. We liked it so much we got two extra to takeaway to have for a snack later. The buffet was pretty empty when we got there in the late afternoon (4pm), I feel if you went earlier in the day and it was fully stocked this would also be a good option.
Read morePros: Tastey food and affordable (two meals 14 MYR), Vegan options of main meals , Fast and helpful people

Best meal in this town! - Edit
First time we went it was evening and he shop was closed. Returned at lunchtime, shop was so busy! In the basement of Centre Point mall. You get given some rice on a plate and then you add a scoop of whatever you like from the buffet style plates. Pay at the end of the line. Drinks also available. Can also order from pictures above the counter.

Great food, amazing prices - ask about egg - Edit
There is a medium size buffet of dishes to choose from, ask the staff which contain egg - they are very helpful. Charged by number of different items, but a plate with 5 items and rice is around 8MYR. If you arrive at an hour when the buffet looks picked over, order off the menu - made fresh and was super tasty! I ordered black pepper chicken for 7.50MYR, decent size portion. I ate here often and would get take away for dinner (closes early)

Cheap bit in the mall - Edit
Normal food, nothing stunning but still nice experience. Very nice lady behind the counter. Average sized portions, pretty plain - good for those who don't appreciate spicy:)
