My lunch (vegetarian)

VEGETARIAN FOOD 6 ("LOVECIPES VINTAGE CAFE")

Another choice is available for vegetarians as "Lovecipes Vintage Cafe" opened its doors about 2 months ago in Penang, heard the proprietor mentioned that it's just a soft opening.  The cafe is located at No. 42 Rangoon Road, 10400 Penang.  

I understand from the staff, the menu has some nonya items in it.  For example in one of the item - rice with curry - they use "krisek" (I remember that because my mom used to cook this type of curry).  Do ask what is the special for the day, which is not found in the menu.

Spicy crispy roti

Ba Wang Soup with vermicelli

Ginger Teh Tarik

Why the name "Vintage Cafe"?  Well see the photos below.

 The cafe are decorated with ancient and antique bags, doors, plates, photos, bicycle wheel etc. and also Chinese oldies are played in the outlet.

During my next visit I will try the rice with curry (cooked with "krisek").

The cafe is opened from Tuesday to Sunday and the operating hours are 11am to 10pm.

VEGETARIAN FOOD 5 (Goloka Vegetarian Food, Jalan Thean Teik (Farlim))

A new vegetarian food stall was introduced to me by a temple friend.  It is located at Jalan Thean Teik, (Farlim) near the Sunshine Farlim Hypermarket, within Restoran Satu Sembilan Sembilan Lapan.  The name of the stall is "Goloka" (which means the eternal abode of Lord Krishna) and the serve Indian food like chappati, thosai, mee goreng, roti canai, burger, nasi lemak etc.  and there operating time is after 5.30 pm until 11 or 11.30 pm.  Their rest day is on every alternate Tuesdays.
