For Vegetarian Pizza
When you think of pizza you'll think of cheese and salami, two absolutely non vegetarian ingredients, but Vege Coffee has a surprise for you. Their vegetarian pizza (RM16.90) is 100% made from non-animal products, their cheese is vegetarian as its made from plant oils, and it tastes like real cheese, the toppings are tofu based faux meat with mushrooms for that added bite. The best part of this dish is that it looks and taste exactly like a regular pizza. Vege Coffee being a café also has other items on the menu, including a vegetarian chicken burger (RM12.90), and vegetarian shark fin soup (RM15).

Fear not as being a fully vegetarian bakery Vburg has an entire list of pastries and breads that are confirmed to be vegetarian.

Kinsahi

For Vegetarian Japanese Food
Kinsahi has a whole menu just for vegetarian customers, and it consists of Sushi, Ramen, curry rice, Donburi, and even desserts. We would like to recommend the Teishoku (set meal) menu, specifically the Unagi (RM29.90 this dish has eggs) and the Mapo Tofu (RM24.90). The Unagi (eel) is made of vegetarian meat and when seasoned with the Unagi Tare (sauce), it tastes no different from the real thing. For desserts try the Kuro Goma Dango (RM8.90), which is Dango (sweet chewy balls made of rice flour) covered in black sesame seeds, it goes really well with a cup of hot green tea.

For Thunder Tea
Thunder tea (actually its pounded tea), or known as Lei Cha in the Hakka dialect is a dish that is made up from a mix of nuts, veggies, rice and a broth made of tea leaves and mint. It is considerably rare to find a Hakka dish in the state, as the majority of Johorean Chinese are Hokkien, but Seven Oaks has it! Their Thunder tea (RM18) is made from crushed roasted peanuts, long beans, tofu, preserved radish, Sayur Manis (sauropus androgynus), leeks, onions and rice. While the tea broth is made of green tea leaves and mint, so it is with confidence that we can say this is vegetarian friendly. Another vegetarian dish would be their Keledek fries (RM15.90), which is fried sweet potatoes seasoned with asam spice.
