I miss home a lot, and I know that my family is always looking for new places to go makan, so I’m compiling this list for them. Thanks to masak-masak blog for the excellent reviews on all kinds of yummy food available in Malaysia
Looking at that blog really makes me home sick and hungry!… They also provide me with inspiration to go home and cook up a storm…LOL!

Vegetarian Food Court @ Blue Boy Mansion, Kuala Lumpur
No.6001 Blue Boy Mansion,
Jalan Tong Shin (Jalan Pudu Lama),
Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: Daily 7.30am to 9.30pm
We eat here very often… don’t need me to elaborate further. My favourites here (if I absolutely have to pick) are Char Kway Teow, and Popiah… We always get these 2 dishes first, before ordering anything else.
Check out boo’s review here and Babe-in-the-city review here and here.

Saravana Bhavan @ Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur
52 Jalan Maarof, Bangsar
03-2287-1228
(At the shophouses facing the main road and same row as Degem Jewellers.)
Apparently this restaurant is part of a big chain of vegetarian restaurants that can be found all over the world. Check out http://www.saravanabhavan.com/ Too bad they are not in Michigan, just in California, Georgia, New Jersey and New York. But they are in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) i.e. Mississauga, Richmond Hill and Scarborough. I must give them a try when I go to Toronto to visit my in-laws in a few weeks for Labour Day weekend (Sept 3).

Indian Vegetarian Food @ Gopala Vegetarian Restaurant, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur
No. 59, Jalan Thambipillai, Brickfields
03-2274-1969
Apparently this place serves Indian food that does not use garlic nor onions (Hare Krishna’s principals) which will be perfect for my parents because they are not good for those who are meditating.
You can also get mock-meat satays, bittergourd curries, char kway teow and ais kacang here as well. They say that the satay is so good to even convert a meat-eater and that it’s better than the real thing from Kajang @ RM5 for 5 sticks. Check out the reviews here .
