Many if not all of these RM2 shops are indeed run by Buddhist Associations backed by rich donors whose aim in providing a meal without the need to eat meat. They're not profit oriented & instead lose $ on each meal they serve you, however they believe the karma will lead to better dharma for them. Buddhists please correct me if my info is wrong I normally eat at these places not because of the price but bring along non vegetarians hoping the price will motivate them to have a vegetarian meals as often as possible. Please note that the quality of food differs from each outlets. Do not go there expecting 5 star quality food & environment & God willing you leave happy!
