Thoughts: There should be 30 vegetarian dishes to choose from: 7 豆腐類 Tofu dishes, 7 豆包類 Beancurd Robes dishes, 5 菇類 Mushroom dishes, 6 素余類 Veggie Fish dishes, 5 煎蛋類 Fried Egg dishes, from rm$9.90 to rm$16.90. USJ19's 媽寶素食館 Mable Vege Restaurant also offers a variety of Ala-Carte Rice and Noodle dishes at affordable price of around rm$10. The vegetarian restaurant has been in USJ9 for at least more than 5 years (since 2018), and still one of the better locations for dinner as parking is usually easier along USJ9/5N especially in the weekends.   
Today's dishes with rice are a rm$9.90 招牌豆腐 Signature tofu and rm$15.90 豆鼓漿汁余 Black Soybean Sauce Vege Fish rm$15.90. "招牌豆腐 Signature tofu" is steamed white tofu topped with 菜脯 Preserved Radish with a slightly sweet sauce, while "豆鼓漿汁余 Black Soybean Sauce Vege Fish" is a dish with Tofu and Vege Fish cooked with slightly salty 豆鼓漿 fermented black soybean sauce plus some vegetables and I think fried 炸金針菇 enoki mushrooms on the side!  
豆腐 Tofu or bean curd, is also called "黎祁 Li Qi" in the old days. the food is prepared by 凝固豆漿 coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness. One theory is that 豆腐 Tofu is said to have been invented more than 2000 years ago, around 164 BC during the 漢朝 Han Dynasty. It is 漢武帝的弟弟 Emperor Wu's brother Prince 劉安 Liu An that inventory Tofu, and it was also an accidental creation when 劉安 Liu An was practicing 燒藥煉丹 Medicine and Alchemy at 八公山上 Bagong Mountain, he accidentally worked with 滷水 Brine and 豆汁 Soy Juice and somehow invented Tofu. 
Before refrigeration was available in China, tofu was often only available during winter period, since tofu did not spoil as easily in cold weather. But it did not become a popular food in China until the 宋朝 Song dynasty. Much of tofu's early use in East Asia was as a vegetarian substitute for meat and fish by Buddhist monks, especially those following Zen Buddhism. Tofu was also introduced to Japan during the 奈良时代 Nara period (late 8th century, 1400 years ago) by 禪宗和尚 Zen Buddhist monks, who initially called it "唐腐 Chinese curd". From the 10th to the 15th Century, the 中國移民 Chinese immigrants via Fujian province who migrated South also brought Tofu and many other cuisines to Southeast Asia countries. In the late 16th century during the Japanese invasion of Korea that Tofu was also brought to the Korea Peninsular. However, tofu was not well known to most Westerners before the middle of the 20th century. Knowledge of tofu has become widespread only with increased cultural contact between the West and East Asia and the growing interest in vegetarianism. (Source: Wikipedia)
