This is a 2 year+ vegetarian restaurant in the Taman Desa location, everything in the menu looks inviting; from 飯麵 Rice and Noodle dishes, to 開胃菜 Appetizers, 點心 Dim Sum (limited), 湯 Soup (limited), 蒸/烤麵包 Steam/Toasted Bread, 糖水 Tong Shui and a variety of 冷熱飲品 hot and cold beverages.
For lunch, it is the first item in the first page of the menu (should be one of the restaurant's signature dishes), the rm$15 客家粥 "豐衣足食 Hakka Porridge". Although not in a 蒸籠 "bamboo steamer" (like in the menu), but it was still very well presented on a try with all the different dishes accompanying the 糙米粥 brown rice porridge. The 7 items are 鹹鹵豆腐 Salted braised Tofu, 炒長豆蛋 Fried green bean with egg, 蔬菜 vegetables (spinach), 黑木耳 Black Fungus, 鹹菜 salted vegetables, 炸元寶(炸雲吞) Fried dumpling, and 水煮花生 Boiled Peanuts. The "黑木耳 Black Fungus" was presented like a 黑玫瑰 black rose in a small bowl!
The lunch ends with a "Kopi Gao" rm$5 "午夜香吻 Kopi Malaya"! Reason for ordering the Kopi Malaya because the beverage item was part of its metal sign board. Conclusion, a more than satisfied porridge and coffee. I'd say there is no hesitation to come back in the future to sample something else in the menu.
The vegetarian restaurant comes with Yellow Plastered "Stone-like" beams and columns as well as 古色古香的老式窗戶和門 Antique vintage window and door at its entrance. Inside the restaurant, is a comfortable setting with soft music, there are Eleven 2-persons 大理石檯面桌子 marble top tables with 木椅 wooden chairs and 混凝土長凳 concrete benches; plus 煤油燈 old Oil-Lamps on the walls and 鎢絲燈泡 Tungsten Light Bulbs hanging down from the ceiling. Most importantly beautifully presented tasty vegetarian food which does not hurt the wallet!
The Chefs of "古早味 Kuchabe" demonstrated that vegetarian food does not have to be boring. The items in the menu that look promising are 椰香糙米飯 Nasi Lemak, 娘惹咖哩拉麵 Nyonya Curry Ramen, 蔬古茶飯 Sukuteh, 糙米居(素"糯米雞") Homemade Glutinous Rice and 馬來隆冬 Malay Lontong all from rm$6 to rm$16.
