Barato y rico - Edit
Les expliqué que era vegano y me explicaron cuáles eran mis opciones. Podía elegir cualquiera de los platos y ellos me lo prepararían sin huevo ni nada animal. El trato fue excelente. Volveré seguro. Está dentro del centro comercial, en la zona de restaurantes. El plato de fried noodles con verduras y una especie de salchichas veganas con un zumo natural 13RM (2,50€ aprox)

Great find amidst the chaos of food court - Edit
We were doubtful about this place as we were finding it difficult to locate. But the search was worth it! We had mee goreng and the rice with Kari Kan which were amazing! The rice noodles dish had a great bite with beansprouts, mushrooms etc. The Kari had lots of vegetables in it but the flavour of the fresh lime leaves in the curry was fabulous, almost like a Thai curry. Both dishes had fake meat. In the curry, the fake meat was overpoweringly beef flavoured which we did not particularly like (next time we would ask for mushrooms instead or even tofu). We had a mango juice which was very fresh and not artificially sweetened.
Read morePros: Great fresh juice, Lovely staff
Cons: Flavor of fake beef was quite strong

Delicious food, and amazingly cheap, a little difficult to find - Edit
Delicious food, and amazingly cheap, I paid 8 MYR (US$1,80) for rice and three other portions that I could choose from the buffet (ask the owner what dishes are vegan).
Read moreA little difficult to find, because the food court is big, and locals don’t understand the name of the restaurant if you don’t pronounce it correctly. It’s advisable to show employees of other restaurants the pic I’m posting, they’ll be glad to help you
Pros: Delicious food, amazingly cheap, very central
Cons: A little difficult to find

Best vegan food in the area - Edit
That was a deep dive in Sabah food culture.
Read moreThe owner is really knowledgeable about vegan food and directly could tell us what food is vegan. Every single dish I tried was amazing I couldn’t name them, but see picture. Her husband is vegetarian for over 30 years and they definitely know they food game. Went as often as we could and I think the best time is from 1pm as there is a lot more then for breakfast but also the breakfast buffet has a lot to offer. Don’t be shy just dive deep in. Enjoy 🫶🏼
Pros: Amazing food , Cheap food , Good for trying out food as is a buffet

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.

You searched for some meat or what?

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.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Lots of vegan options
Cons: Crowded seating during lunch

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.

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.
