Thoughts: There are likely at least 4 "Cauli & Rice" branches as of today: 
Cauli & Rice @ Gamuda Walk, Shah Alam
"Cauli & Rice", started in 2019 with the concept of 花椰菜飯 Cauliflower Rice instead of 炒飯 Fried Rice; with the initial outlets in 梳邦 Subang, 金地花園 Sri Hartamas, and 白沙羅萬達 Damansara Utama offering only as take-out and delivery kitchen with no dine-in options. The 2020 MCO provided impetus and promising reception to the "healthier" take-out choice they offered, and with that resulted in Dine-in locations as of today. 
BUT Co-founder Kenneth Lai initially started off with the intention of selling 炸雞 fried chickens from a central kitchen for takeaways and deliveries under the "M Fried Chicken" brand. Later, his team paired the 炸雞配炒飯 Fried Chicken with Fried Rice as a take-away combination. The subsequent idea of venturing into 花椰菜飯 Cauliflower Rice as an alternative to Fried Rice was accidental and a challenging decision but with surprisingly good acceptance from the Klang Valley Market; hence "Cauli & Rice" was born! 
Today's rm$20.40 "蘑菇花椰菜飯碗 Umami Mushroom Bowl with Caulirice" comes with 100% Cauliflower Rice (Add-on with rm$4), but customer can also opt for Egg Fried rice or Hybrid (75% CauliRice with 25% Egg Fried Rice):
花椰菜炒飯 Cauliflower Rice (50-100 Kcal, GI 5-15, GL <1)
水豆腐 Water Tofu (30-40 Kcal, GI 15, GL 0.1)
天白花菇 Shiitake Mushroom (30-40 Kcal, GI 10-15, GL <1)
白蘑菇(洋菇) Button Mushroom (30-40 Kcal, GI 10-15, GL <1)
秀珍菇(蠔菇) Oyster Mushroom (30-40 Kcal, GI 10-15, GL <1)
白玉菇 Shimeji Mushroom (30-40 Kcal, GI 10-15, GL <1)
The Menu reported the 100% Cauli-Rice option to have 242 Calories and this option should be Keto-Friendly with Low GI and Low GL, Low Carb, should be Low Sugar, and relatively Good Protein base!
花椰菜飯 Cauliflower rice is finely chopped (either by hand or pulsed in a food processor) raw cauliflower that's small enough to look like grains of rice. According to one Web Article, it's believed that 花椰菜“蒸粗麥粉(小米粥)” Cauliflower “Couscous” was invented in 1998 in 加利福尼亞州 California by a chef named Ben Ford. BUT the term “花椰菜飯 Cauliflower Rice” didn't become an internet sensation until around 2012; its popularity is said to be linked to the rise of the "古飲食 Paleo diet", which prohibits the consumption of 穀物 grains, 豆類 legumes and 乳製品 dairy products.
