Here is a list of all or almost all vegetarian/organic restaurants or shops in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya:

This list is not that relevant to me because I am looking for vegan restaurants but the list is mostly vegetarian restaurants, with the vast majority being Chinese vegetarian restaurants. Currently, there aren't many vegan restaurants at all in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya but I was hoping to know of more.

How to define Vegan Vs Vegetarian Restaurant ??

I don't categorized myself as long as no meat is ok with me.

Vegetarian basically means that meat is not eaten so there is no meat in the food. Vegan is stricter because it means no animal products in the food. This means vegans do not take eggs and dairy (milk products) and probably even honey too.

I can tell you that Beyond Veggie is a vegetarian restaurant and not a vegan one because their cakes contain dairy products. I know because I have asked since I don't take dairy.

As for Simple Life Healthy Vegetarian restaurant, it seems to be more of a vegan restaurant than Beyond Veggie. Having said that, I would not qualify Simple Life as a vegan restaurant as even their name has the word "vegetarian". I have looked through their menu items and it seems that none of the food items contain dairy or eggs except possibly their Pesto Spaghetti that could have cheese on it. Besides, they also have honey in their drinks.

Then i believe Simple Life is too not vegan, as there is option to have egg in a couple of their dishes.

I consider myself as ovo-lacto vegetarian then.

So any vegan restaurant or at lease vegan friendly restaurant to recommend.

Strictly vegan restaurants:
1. Loving Cafe in Sri Petaling
2. Loving Hut in Bandar Puteri Puchong, Sri Petaling, Ipoh and JB. You can visit www.lovinghutmalaysia.com
3. Woods Macrobiotics in SS 2 and Bukit Bintang
4. Cloud Dreaming Vegan Cake House in Penang (it is more of a cafe selling vegan cakes).

The following are not strictly vegan restaurants but they have many items that are vegan and raw vegan (I have a special heart for raw vegan):
1. Living Foods at Menara Tan & Tan, KL
2. Ashley's by Living Foods, Bangsar Baru
3. Fru-T-Pop in Taman Sri Hartamas
4. BMS Organics (they don’t have raw vegan items that I know of)


A special mention to Opika in One Utama because I like their organic food there. They even said that they are going to introduce vegan desserts soon.

Generally I like organic foods so I eat them occasionally. BMS Organics cafes/restaurants serves mainly vegan food, as far as I know, but I think they could use honey in their drinks.

What I like best are raw vegan desserts, which Living Foods, Ashley's and Fru-t-pop have.

Thanks for the recommendation, will try out some of them.

come to seri kembangan town and behind the only petronas station there is San Yen Vegeterian. One of the best and most variety in the klang valley.

Ricstc,

If you can sense from reading this thread, it is that I am interested in vegan food and not vegetarian food.

This San Yen Vegetarian restaurant name itself indicates that it is a vegetarian restaurant and it is probably a Chinese vegetarian one, which I am not interested in.

If you can tell what is so special about the food they serve there, I may think again about paying it a visit.

could you enlighten my feeble mind as to what is vegan food vs vegeterian? Im neither though I have heard a lot about vegan food from my western friends and had always thought that it meant vegeterian just that it was spelt differently

PS anyway you dont have to reply since I wont be visiting this thread of yours again. Being insulted and embarrassed like how you have done to me means that I am and my comments are not welcomed. This is a lesson learnt from being kind enough to share info in a forum liie LYN but being insulted like a pariah dog

Thanks a lot, and may what goes around comes around for you too

Ricstc is too sensitive. I read my reply again and I don't think I embarrassed or insulted him in any way.

Maybe he don't understand your write up, anyway just let it be water under the bridges, maybe if he read it again or found out what is vegan, he'll understand.

Good vegetarian restaurant at KJ, SS2, Damansara?

I definitely recommend BMS Organics. Amazing food, and very sure its vegan. Quite pricey though.

BTW TS I think you should'nt just dismiss a Vegetarian restaurant just because they use the word "vegetarian" and not "vegan" in the name. I think lots of people in Malaysia don't know what vegan food is. Its'bad enough that we are such a meat-eating country that when you tell people that you are vegetarian their response is "go eat grass la"

Unless you are specifically looking for a type of cuisine, lots of vegetarian restaurants will have vegan suitable dishes.
