"We had the: RENDANG NASI LEMAK LAKSA MEE REBUS Overall decent food. However, a lot of the items on the menu (eg. Mee Pok, Dumplings, etc) contains egg, do ask the staff if you can’t take them. The star of the day must be the MEE REBUS. The sauce is so flavourful and you can really taste the pumpkin in there. The only small downside is the tofu as it’s not the freshest ones. LAKSA was decent with lots of toppings. (Maybe too much haha) NASI LEMAK was okay. The sambal was too sweet, rice is not very fragrant but the rendang is not bad."

"N1 咖啡乌 Kopi-O-Kosong (Hot) = RM3.20 T7 爪哇面 Mee Rebus = RM12.90 Otak-Otak Addon = RM3.00 No Service Charges For Strict Vegans, you might want to take note that this place serves Eggs. This place was Nicely Furnished, Cleanly Maintained and Airconditioned. The Staffs are Polite and Mostly kept to Themselves. N1 咖啡乌 Kopi-O-Kosong (Hot) = RM3.20 Served in a Classic and Beautifully Ornate Looking Cup and Saucer Set, the Amount of Coffee given was so Generous that it Flowed Right to the Brim and Overflowed to the Saucer. I liked the Robust Coffee Aroma and it had a Slight Bitterness in its taste. While its not a Super Strong Smack you Awake type of Coffee, it can still give you a Caffeine Buzz. Not Bad Tasting. Otak-Otak Addon = RM3.00 When it was served up, I was immediately impressed by how big it is for the price. Biting into it, the 1st thing you notice is the Elevated Level of Spiciness. Its Elevated but doesn't bite your tongue. The Texture was the one that really surprised me because this really tasted Very Close to the Real Thing! Soft and Fleshy, it even has that Familiar Slightly Fishy Iconic Otak Aftertaste that you'd expect when you eat an Otak. The Illusion is so good that if you don't tell someone that this is Vegetarian, chances are they may not even realize it is Vegetarian. Heck I even feel that because of its Nice Fleshy Bite Texture, this taste nicer than some of the Overly Dry Pasar Malam styled of Otak. If you don't specifically look for it, I feel this is almost indistinguishable from the Real Thing. T7 爪哇面 Mee Rebus = RM12.90 This is the Main Signature Dish that is also Highly Raved. When it was served up, I thought the Presentation looked Big and Generous. It certainly felt like a Big Plate of Food. The Mee Rebus Gravy This Gravy is Definitely Alot Lighter in Taste compared to a Regular Mee Rebus. It is Sweetish but not Overly So. Something about this Gravy really clicks with me and I really like how light tasting it was. There is a Mild Spiciness that won't bite but will linger abit on your Tongue. The Yellow Noodles Amount of Yellow Noodles I feel is acceptable for 1 Person. Although most likely from a Package, I still liked their Soft Texture that is neither Too Firm nor Too Soft. Slurping them with that Very Nice Light Gravy was Delightful as they slide smoothly down my Throat. Tofu Slices and Egg Nothing Special about the Tofu Slices and Egg, they taste exactly how you'd expect them to taste. The Faux Prawn Crackers The Faux Prawn Crackers were made out of Fried Dough and were Crispy with a Nice Taste of Fried Oil 油香味. Eating Everything together is Satisfying and adding that Otak Otak as an Addon pairs very well. It adds yet another Otak Taste to the Dish and Enhances it even more. Conclusion and Closing Thoughts At RM3.20 (S$1.00) for this Kopi-O-Kosong, I feel is worth the Money. It had a Robust Aroma and was a Decent Tasting Cup. I liked how generous they were with the Amount given that even Overflowed. At RM12.90 (S$3.95) for their Signature Mee Rebus and RM3.00 (S$0.95) for the Otak-Otak Addon were definitely worth the money. The Mee Rebus was Satisfyingly Filling. Although the Gravy is certainly Lighter than Conventional Mee Rebus, I thought it was made well and can still appeal even to Non-Vegetarians. Its the Otak Otak that I'm really impressed with. It really almost tasted like the Real Thing. Something about this Eatery and the Mee Rebus just clicked well with me. The Place is really nice, Staffs are Friendly and Polite, and the Amount of Customers that I see also showed me that this is a Place that even the Locals enjoy. If you are looking for a Vegetarian Eatery here in Taman Daya, I can recommend this place to try. I feel that even Non-Vegetarians will probably also enjoy this place too. Thanks for Reading.

"Quaint, nostalgic ambience serving vegetarian food. Service was efficient. Food was decent with good portions. I tried the Mongol Taufu Rice - crispy taufu pieces generously coated in slightly spicy sauce. Kopi was kaw. My parents had Laksa and Lor Mee, which they approved of."
