The address and contact number printed on the menu for easy reference ...
Yesterday (yes, this IS recent) me, TallGal and FCOE were running around the whole of Kinta district, from Lahat to Tasek. Strangely when the time was nigh for lunch, we discovered the intended destinations were all closed on Mondays. Suffice to say, hunger pangs overpowered rationale, and we ended up at a vegetarian restaurant in Taman Ipoh Permai, at a corner shoplot next to Citrus Wine & Dine (click HERE for my review on Citrus).
Vegetarian Fried Rice Noodles (Char Kuey Teow) RM3.50Some of you might have realised that I have never reviewed any vegetarian food, for being the omnivores (or rather, carnivores) that we are, going vege without special occasions somehow did not cross our minds. But I vaguely remembered Mum claimed this newly opened restaurant had my aunt's seal of approval (my aunt being a rather picky eater, btw).
Loh Hon Chai (Mixed Vege) Rice RM3.50The lady boss practised a different approach when it comes to ordering. How? She SITS on an empty chair at your table, uninvited no less, and slowly take your order. Too close for comfort? Nah ... Maybe she anticipated our indecisiveness, and would not risk standing for hours while we oogle at the items on the menu.
Butter Milky Chicken Chop with Rice (RM5)TallGal had the Penang Char Kuey Teow (recommended by our "friend", the lady boss), FCOE chose the Loh Hon Chai Rice, while I was still hoping to satiate the carnivorous appetite by picking the Chicken Chop Rice (also suggested by "her").
All in all, the dishes were quite delicious, being vegetarian food and all. Which kind of explained the nearly fully-patronised outlet even it was way past lunch hour. Total for 3 including drinks came to RM18. Reasonable enough. They serve an impressive range of dishes as well as individual meals, such as fried rice, noodles, and etc.

Now, don't go yet, for something slightly different, I need some 'professional' opinions here :
LULU : Aahhh ... Where's my knight in shining armour????
BOB : Ahem ahem. I'm the perfect candidate! (At least I hope to be one .... )My Golden Retriever, LULU, is looking for a life partner. Muahaha ... What do YOU think? =P

wei.. wat happen to ur LULU?? menopause?? =P she looks so sad and tired la.. pity her... hehe.. aiya, too bad la.. my JOJO --> FEMALE... not ngam ur LULU... hehehe...
Dont be shy that you are looking for a life partner and put your dog on the forefront. Yah, Lulu looks kinda sad. My smaller dogs are Candy (tzihshu) and Jamie (jack russel). Jamie is a real rascal, an aimer, a challenger, a corporate ladder climber type of character.
I like vegetarian food, as this is the only time I don't have to be picky about what "meat" I'm eating :o).
2 things from this post... I was caught by your new header... very nice!! 2nd, is your golden retriever.... so handsome!!!! :D

vegetarian food in the hands of the right carnivore will taste meatly delicious ( and so lies the paradox)
