I am NOT a vegan, neither a vegetarian, but I rather choose to consume more vegetables nowadays due to my current health situation. The amount of fibre in the vege is important for me to cleanse my system.
Since my client is also a meatless person, we decided to head to this house in the residential area, they don't called themselves private kitchen for no reasons.
Despite I have expressively voiced out I do not like coffee art which involved with a lot of frothing, pulling, beak touching, that really drives me into thinking how much of dust in the air being pushed into the drink, I just can't see top them from doing it. Warning to tree huggers, vegan options available upon requests. Otherwise you'll be drinking cow's breast milk latte.
You can also grab a pot of herb tea or flower tea to share with your friends. Bear in mind, their standard dinning time is 90 minutes. If you're planning to have a pot of tea and sit there for hours, that might disturb their seat reservations.
What can I say. Nowadays every home cook style restaurants likes to make it like a fine dinning experience. Once again, they don't call it private kitchen for no reason. Be punctual on the appointment, get out when you are done. 🤣 No they don't say it, but I feel it in the air.
Table is big enough for 4 small person. Fortunate enough the other 3 are only half of my size.
First to arrived is this dish we called Lei Cha. The actual Chinese word is grind tea 😂 the reason behind it is due to the fact that they will grind fresh herbs and leaf to make the green soup, coupled with nuts and grains in the bowl as a full blown vegan dish(there are meat version with anchovies or minced meat).
After topped up with the bowl of Lei Cha soup on to the bowl, it looks something like this. Don't let the look fool you, if you think the dish taste plain and green, trust me... It does taste plain and green 😂😂😂 unless you're really into chewing leafs and biting nuts, otherwise this is a guarantee feel full food.
We order extra soup and rice since we are sharing the dishes. The soup came with a cob of corn. Corn is boiled and soft, soup is heavily fused with corn, I can eat the rice with just the corn and soup. Very tasty.
Vegan satay is another crazy mind blowing dish. Usually vegan shops use soy chicken to create the texture of chicken meat, however this shop uses mushroom stem and wrapped with a thin slice of pineapple, marinated with different satay spices. Frankly, I don't taste chicken at all, but I don't hate it because it doesn't try to be chicken.
Follow by a plate of soy fish. Technically, this is just another plate of soy paste wrapped in seaweed to create the "sea food" sensation. Not my most preferred vegan food, but it's rather ok if they just called it seaweed sensation rather than "not fish".
Seafood tofu is one of the cleverest idea even NOT from the vegan community in this country. For some reasons, chemical flavouring has been a big portion of the food culture here in most Asian countries. If you tried the red and white colour crab stick from the cold section in grocery stores, this tofu taste exactly that, without the crab, without the red colouring. I am not saying I know what ingredient they used on this tofu, I'm just saying introducing seafood smell into a piece of tofu is a marvelous idea.
Followed by a bowl of curry potatoes and soy mutton. I'm pretty sure there's no furry creature being harm during the production of this bowl of curry, but the mushroom stems and the soy wrap around the stems to helped absorb the rich and flavorful curry made it extremely mouth watering.
Last but not least, a plate of fry vegetables and capsicums to complete our meatless lunch. I paid RM180 to deal the bill for 4 person, and that's like $10 each in translate into dollar. It well worthy other than the dinning time is limited to 90 minutes.
