any shops in penang????

I will definitely lend my support to this concept irregardless of whether it is funded by any religious association, as vegetarian is a form of healthy lifestyle.I do not understand why some ppl like to link vegetarian with religion eventhough some religion do encourage it's devotees to go green.

I am personally phasing out on meat and adopting a more vege based diet for a healthier lifestyle.I can certainly feel the difference it makes to my body.

Is there any such outlets around PJ area I wonder?

I will go there for most if not all of my working days if there is such a stall in Penang and nearby. Reason being:

(1) I think vegetarian food is tasty (if cooked by the right person)
(2) RM 2 is way cheap and extremely beneficial for my wallet
(3) Mock meat or not, having vegetarian food for a good amount of your meals (not permanently) will be healthier than eating roti canai, steak and all those oily food that I quite like (curry mee, nasi lemak and the list goes on.......)

Problem is, vegetarian food don't really come that cheap here in Penang. An average meal for a guy, rice+3 vege would be around RM 3.50 at least (without drinks).

So if anyone knows any of such places in Penang or plan to open one, do tell.

jeff_ckf,

vegetarian food in penang taste much better and have better varieties compared to KL.there are also more vegetarian outlets in penang.i can't even find any decently priced vegetarian meals in KL.prices of vegetarian food have known to be expensive everywhere and sometimes i wonder why.isn't vegetables cheaper than meat?

Yep, I agree goey, penang food rocks. Not entirely sure about the number of vegetarian shops in Penang vs KL but I myself have eaten at quite a few outlets though.

Ya, KL food and standard of living is higher than Penang but the people there also earn more ma

I won't really say vege food is not cheaper than meat. Coz for me if I eat normal 'chap fun' at Penang is nearly RM 5. Like I mentioned earlier, if vege only around 3.50 - 4. You a Penangite?

chicken rice ? chicken is a vegetable ?

not vegetable but it's vegetarian chicken rice where those "chicken" are actually made using flour.
Btw, there is 1 in PJ at Seapark

i went to one in sri petaling & to be honest its good. im nt chossy so i think its acceptable & its tasty too. save my $$ at the current situation of economy

I went to a RM2 vege shop once, 3 vege + 1 rice = RM 2. u can't take it urself, they help u take it, and the portion very small only, rice also very little, in the end still feel hungry after finish eat. I will never go to such shop anymore. What u pay is what u get, there is no free lunch in this world.

if still hungry take two meals la,only rm4,still very cheap...

thr is 1 rm2 vege restaurant juz 2 lot beside my office ... but i never went thr ( not tht the food is bad )

the owner told me actually they r not profiting at all ... sometimes even loses .... how they survive??? donation from other ppl and the shop lot owner rent at low price ...

their main objective is to encourage ppl kill less animal ( vegetarian's main point ) and help those who earn less to ease on their living since every other things naik harga especially during the rm2.70 petrol era.

y i dun go bcoz i think its good for any1 to go but if u can afford a meal out thr , u stil can eat less meat , y u wanna rip off a restaurant with good intention?? i saw a lot of aunty damn kiasu they tapau a few for their whole family ( n the pack damn full , i think 1 pack can feed 2 ) ... all of these aunties drives ( not kancil but some even benz )

when every1 ripping this restaurant , losses getting more , donation less , at the end might closed down. so those really earn less will feel the impact instead of those kiasu aunty.

dine thr once a while is ok , but pls dun rip other off juz bcoz u can save. think of other ppl.

Ya I've seen these type of dishes, where 'meat' are made from dunno what. Don't know if those stuff got any nutritional values or not. Vegetarian foods is very tasty if cooked properly with fresh ingredients.

there;s one in bandar bukit tinggi in klang

hi friend,

Din came across in PJ or puchong area. But there is one in Kelana Jaya heading to kampung chempaka.

Due to your high cholesterol, drink one cup cooked oat with empty stomach everyday. The cholesterol reading will shoot down. Trust me! It works! Good luck!

Added on May 14, 2009, 11:41 pmI do support these shops no matter what religion we are.

We need to eat anyway. It healthy for the us and our pocket too.
Try not to eat those fake vegetarian products like chicken, meat and so on cos they are also considered as processed food. Try to go on tofu and vege. balance it. Eating too much tofu and mushroom also can contribute to uric acid beside eating real meat. Its best to go on vege. It good and you will not feel bloated later in the afternoon.

lets support it!

I'll lend my support if you really into this but do consider your competitor around you.

You can't just pick up a shop lot and began selling rm2 vege rice in any neighborhood. By doing this your are affecting others food seller and god know what they might do to you since you are NEW.

There is a saying destroying people income is like killing their parent. There are rules that you need to follow in the food industry.

Yup agreed you can continue selling at rm2 and not join the crowd but its how the world works.

There is such a place, at Subang ss15. Near taylor's college there. i'm a student there and I've patron that shops for few times already. Worth eating for sure. I think they basically apply the Buddha concept here. Coz in their shops there are these books and cds related to Buddha.

at least RM5-7...RM2 rather quite imppossible now

yes it can be done as long as your supplier can give you a good price then it is ok. i had come across a shop of selling every dish in RM4 eat all you can, but must put a clause that if there is wastage then fined them
