Mama Sayang @ Off Jalan Klang Lama, KL

Mother's Love being a direct translation of the restaurant name - Mama Sayang has long been on my list of restaurant to try. Shereen highly recommended this restaurant to me, saying that, even vegetarian food can taste as good - and Mama Sayang has been known with its vegetarian food in Nyonya style.
Speaking of last minute, me and a friend decided to change to this venue at the junction just before turning in to this restaurant. ^-^

Outside of the restaurant

As I stepped in, I immediately liked the cosy-ness of the entire setting of the restaurant, and a point to note, was the cleanliness, and the prompt service rendered by the staffs.

Inside the restaurant

We ordered 2 dishes that night - the homemade beancurd that was cooked together with mushroom, wolfberry, white fungus, carrot and vege. We loved the combination of ingredients, that was used. Overall , we had a combination of smooth, soft and crunchy from this 1 plate - from the smoothness of the beancurd texture, crunchy white fungus, mushroom that were cooked till soft, crunchy carrot, and crunchy vege. Yummy!

Homemade Beancurd. Price-RM8.70

The must try nyonya dish is the nyonya prawns. Came in a little wok with litted candle underneath, this dish was keep warm throughout, and the vegetarian prawn that was cooked together with cabbage and curry leaves tasted really good. The sambal used made this dish really aromatic, and we took ample gravy to go with our rice.

Nyonya Prawns. Price-RM11.70

A bowl of ABC for sharing before we leave. Swept clean - it has lots of ingredients within this bowl, and just the right level of sweetness.

Yishenshu @ Bandar Bukit Tinggi

When Fei was back about 2 weeks ago, we had family dinner together, and for a change, decided to head to a newly opened branch of the Yishenshu vegetarian chain (originated from Kampar) at our neighbourhood @ near BBT One at Bukit Tinggi.

At times my mind goes blank having to think of restaurant with nice ambient around my neighbourhood, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cosy and 'upclass' deco of the restaurant.

Me and my sis made the order the other night - got rather excited ordering all types of vegetarian 'meat' dishes. Hehe..

This vegetarian 'duck' that tasted a little like 'char siu' was really good, and to be eaten, wrapped together in the bun.

Teriyaki Vege Duck Bun. Price-RM20

We love the emperor tofu (it was golden yellow inside), topped with vegetarian minced meat. I like the texture which was at the right level of softness.

Emperor Tofu. Price-Rm22

The broccoli fried with mushroom was also a favorite. Gravy to go with rice - yummy.

Broccoli Braised Mushroom. Price-RM22

The sweet and sour 'fish' was THE favorite for all of us. It was fried till real fragrant, and cooked together with the sweet sour sauce, appetizing.

Sweet n Sour Vege Fish. Price-RM28

This was my personal favorite. I love the 'chicken', due to the especially fragrant butter smell, and the 'chicken' was fried till real crispy.

Milky Butter Vege Chicken. Price-Rm22

Another dish that we missed out taking picture is the Special Vege Rendang Mutton, priced at RM22. This was something different for us, as we don't usually take mutton. The sambal used in the rendang was really tasty and fragrant.

We took the opportunity to celebrate early birthday for my sis. A supposedly surprise birthday celebration was 'leaked out' by my niece, Qi, when she asked everyone to sing birthday song before we even took the cake out, and when my sis asked who's birthday, she innocently answered 'mummy lor'.

Country Farm Organics @ Bangsar Village

Suan, Candice and I had to divert our initial plan to eat at 'Chatterbox', Bangsar Village, as it was a rather long queue that afternoon. Suggested to have organic vegetarian lunch. Upon seated, was attracted by the leaflet/ad placed on the table, promoting the 100% Organic Oat Milk - as good source of protein and oats' soluble fibre, non dairy, lactose-free.. wow.. each of us 'bought' the ad, and ordered each a glass. After taking the 1st sip, I know for sure I won't be able to finish, as it really tasted 'tasteless'.Hmm.

We ordered the mee suah soup, which is claimed as speciality of Xiamen, Fujian, ie. fine dried wheat noodle with smooth texture. We liked the clear soup, however, felt that the mee suah was a little too soft. Suited for those who wants something light for its cooked using organic dried wheat noodle, green vege, tau pok and shitake mushrooms (all ingredients used are organic). .

Organic Xiamen Mee Suah Soup. Price-Rm9.90

This plate of spaghetti was also good. Quite worth it to order the set.

Today Special-Spaghetti. Price-RM14.90 (comes with a glass of drink - Oatmilk)

This plate of noodle was really delicious. For those who doesn't take enough vege, this is surely recommended for it is overwhelmed with a variety of organic vege. In fact too overwhelmed that we felt insufficient noodle. This was cooked using organic noodle, carrot, capsicum, green cabbage, green vege, fu chok and free range egg (all ingredients used are organic).

Organic House Fried Noodle. Price-9.90

We were game for it when Candice suggested to have another plate of noodle. Opted for the spicy fried noodle. Also overwhelmed by vege - and it tasted good, except that its way too spicy for us..

Spicy Noodle. Price-RM9.90

MG's Cafe @ Sri Hartamas

It's always a good idea to drive out once a while, but where to, is always the question. After much thought, brought Candice and Beng Suan to try out MG's cafe - its actually a bakery at the outer part, and cafe inside. From the outside, most people may not realize that vegetarian food is actually served here.

Part bakery, part cafe

Ordered 3 items for sharing.

With salted vege and the soup broth that was a little of sourish and slight spiciness, this formosa style noodle really 'opened-up' our appetite. The vegetarian meat also tasted really good.

Formosa Style Noodle. Price-RM7.50

The honey char siu donburi rice is also highly recommended. This vegetarian char siu really tasted quite close to the actual char siu, and the sweet sauce enhances the overall taste.

Honey Char Siu Donburi Rice. Price-RM8.90

Of all, the miso soup udon tasted the most 'clear'. This bowl of udon comes with dried beancurd, carrot, seaweed, and vegetarian meat... overall, a little tasteless. Not something that I'd order on my next visit.

Miso Soup Udon. Price-RM9.9o

After makan, each of us bought their swiss roll. Taste really good, and healthy. Bought the durian flavoured swiss roll and bamboo charcoal cream cheese swiss roll. All of us brought back to be shared with family, and gone in less than a day...

Bamboo Charcoal Swiss Roll. Price-RM12.80, Durian Swiss Roll. Price-9.50

Popiah at Shereen's home

A group of friends were invited to Shereen's new home sweet home 2 weeks ago. Her mom bought some popiah skin and served us with lotsa & lotsa ingredients - dried beancurd, beansprout, long bean, cucumber, carrot, sweet turnip, vege, seaweed,black mushroom, fried egg, peanuts... some of these are being fried, boiled, or cooked. The spread of food on the table got us really excited, to 'create' our own popiah.

In addition to these, we also have the vegetarian chicken drumstick, served with mayonnaise.

Such serving of food is a good idea when come to serving friends or family, as you won't need to worry about it getting cold. *<>* Good idea when I next have gathering at my house.

The wide selection of ingredients to go in the popiah.

We paused a little before we began taking the ingredients, that's because way too many choices. Each of us took a little of each ingredient, and though we thought it was JUST a 'little', we did had a little difficulty as well in wrapping the popiah. Some of us wrapped as though it was roti canai.

Waiting to be wrapped

Took a bite before snapping a picture of my creation. The popiah skin was just sooo 'thin' and 'soft'

We had a really simple, yet satisfying dinner. A big thanks to Shereen and her mom whom has feeded us well that night.

Apa lagi.. Thumbs up maximum *<>*
