Healthy food

Aaah...after the porky and fatty noodle soup, let's take a break from the "not so healthy" food. The one who is the most health conscious in our family is Mum, so it is not a surprise that she is the one who introduces me to this vegetarian restaurant.

This place started off as a shop that sell all kind of organic stuff. They have all the organic vegetables and fruits. They also sell brown rice, flour, noodles (dried) and crackers. Health drinks like 5-grains milk powder, spirulina, wheatgrass powder etc. They also have organic chili sauce, tomato sauce, light soya sauce, thick soya sauce , tom yam paste and many (1000x) more. (see the pics below).


After about 10 years, they started to cooked meal for people who wants to eat healtily. At first it was on request basis, later on people seems to like it and started coming on walk-in basis. Sometimes they have to turn the customers down, because they didn't pre-order the meal. Since it is a good business, the owner decided to start the restaurant. So now, anyone who walk in can have a healthy meal! :)

Their menu is simple, basically it have 4 categories - the rice, noodle, drinks and dessert. Since this is my first time there, i will only introduce what i've tasted and is nice.

"Set lunch"


Their set lunch is simple. A bowl of seaweed soup, salad as appetizer and two different kind of vegetables and taufu as the main dish. The one we happen to try was asam lady's finger with egg plant, Curry potato and black sauce taufu with dried bean curd. The set lunch also comes with a bowl of brown rice sprinkled with some white sesame (YikeS!!! :P brown rice is still not my favourate...haha...)

Salad

Rice

"Herbal soup noodle"

Their herbal soup is NICE! Nice! NICE! You can have it with (organic) bee-hoon, kuey-teow, mee or "mee-hun-kuey". Here, i decided to have it with "mee-hun-kuey". I was told that the flour was organic as well, it does taste like one :) The herbs is just nice, not too overly strong. They have many types of different ingredients in ther soup like seaweed, mini corns, green leafty veggie, mushroom, "kei chee", some sweet corns and tau fu. The soup is REALLY tasty! This is one soup that you can finish it to the last drop without having to worry about ajinomoto :)

"Barley red bean"

This is the dessert that they have. This is the first time i see people mix barley and red bean together and it taste quite nice!


Nice bowl

Apart from serving nice food, the restaurant is also nicely done up, giving you a very comfortable atmosphere to enjoy your food. They have a little reading corner as well, but most of the reading material are health related.

Since it is an organic shop, the price are slightly higher than the "normal food" you get outside. To give you a rough idea, a bowl of herbal noodle is RM6.50 and the barley read bean is RM3.50. Come to think about it, it is almost similar same ask KL price, only that in KL you are paying that price for food that is not that healthy...Where to find this place? Taman Melaka Raya is where you need to go! :)
