Welcome to KL City Centre. Looking for Vegetarian places?

Dharma Realm Guan Yin Monastery sports a canteen in the back, a discreet temple eatery that sets the bar for a solid vegetarian lunch in the city. The Buddhist cooks here are steeped in years of kitchen experience, all while adhering to a strict practice of cooking without white sugar, MSG and preservatives. Join the rest of Jalan Ampang in line for a meal that's both easy on your waistline and your wallet. Variety is what to come for — the zhap fan counter sees over 50 vegetarian dishes on offer, from simple stir-fried eggplant to neat squares of braised tofu and tasty fried beancurd skin in many forms. A rice or noodle lunch plate piled on with two to three dishes should cost about RM5-8 depending on portion. There is also a stunning amount of delicious mock meats in the mix, but we'll advise you help yourselves to those sparingly lest your carb intake shoots through the roof. If it's a Friday, skip out zhap fan for the day's special fragrant Lei Cha (RM5). For dessert, grab a pack of freshly cut fruit or a sweet-sticky Red Bean Pancake (RM3) to take back to the office!
Avg price per person: RM10

This Buddhist temple’s canteen in the heart of KL will keep both your tummy and pockets full with their vegetarian buffet-style food. At Dharma Monastery, you can get a quick hearty meal of rice or noodles of the day (I got bihun), topped with your choice of veggies and tofus (brinjal and okra are my faveeee) and a drink for less than RM10 a meal. Total score!

On a rainy evening, I do need some spices and comfort food to lift me up and the Asian in me would definitely want a plate of Nasi Lemak. Simple Life's Nasi Lemak is made with coconut oil with 10 grain rice. I love the pumpkin and tempeh(fermented soy beans) "rendang" that comes with it. Not to mention the food here is organic, msg free. Although the soup was over season, I would give this dish overall 7/10. RM20.90 per plate.

It can be pretty stressful for working men and women to decide where to eat during their hour lunch break, let alone worry about their diet, but those who are working around KLCC don't have to worry anymore!! Simple Life is located in the KLCC food court, but it's pretty easy to miss since it's a small kiosk. However the small workplace doesn't stop them from serving delicious healthy meals.
