NOT so vegan friendly! - Edit
I visited this vegetarian restaurant due to it's recommended by vegans saying the owner is accommodating and prepare vegan dishes. However, I was disappointed to discover the place is not as vegan friendly as others say it is! The owner even recommended me the mayo which I do not think is vegan though.

Lovely staff, tasty food. - Edit
This is a lovely small joint with even lovelier owners. Good range of Chinese vegetarian food, and can easily spend an hour talking with the owner about the work of the local Buddhist centre.

Lovely couple great food - Edit
Myself and my partner ate here last night. We got there as they were closing but the couple Re opened the restaurant for us. They suggested tempeh and Tofu dish's which I believe is what they had left. We were not left disappointed. The food was great and we paid around 15 each for our food. Good size portions. The people who own the restaurant and their service was great.

Good value - Edit
It is a tiny place with five or six daily veg dishes including tofu, tempeh, eggs and vegetables. Choice of 3 or 4 of these on steamed rice. The clear veg soup was free with each meal. Very low price, friendly service.

Delicious Food, lovely staff! - Edit
Just walked past this little cafe-style place and went to eat there for lunch- staff were avery kind and friendly and the food was delicious!
Read moreI chose a few dishes from the Bain-Marie and then went back for seconds! Delicious bean curd curry, green bean & mushroom dishes and sweet & sour bean curd with flat rice noodles. Payed for what I ate (RM10). Also went back the next morning for breakfast (at 7am) - for tea and 'fish' (battered tempeh wrapped in seaweed). I will be back next time I'm in Malaysia!
Pros: Several dishes to choose and serve from, Options change daily, Opens early
Cons: No clear prices

Favorite place in KK - Edit
I love this little resturant. It has some great options and the owner has a good understanding of English so it was no problem getting vegan food. The menu is small but he makes lots of things off menu so we would just ask for a surprise and always got good food!

Nice friendly little place - Edit
I finally managed to find this place open after visiting on many occasions (in the evening - I didn't know then they closed at 5 or 6pm) and was happy to find the owner to be very friendly and the food to be excellent.
Read moreI had the Braised Mushroom and Bean Curd Skin Rice, and also got the assam fish as an added extra, all for RM11 (two pieces of the fish was RM3; the main dish was RM8). The mushrooms were fat and juicy shiitake mushrooms which I love! The bean curd and fish (with a nice tomato/chilli sauce) was good too.
It's amazing they manage in such a tiny place (the 'kitchen' is in the same one room as the eating space for guests, though there are a few tables outside too - though I actually enjoyed watching them prepare the food as you don't often get to see that!).
I look forward to visiting again.
Pros: Great food, Friendly owner
Cons: Tiny place with limited seating, Limited options
