Thoughts: Chance on a Filipo cuisines restaurant in D'Piazza Mall, ChicGirl Inasal is a Filipino restaurant located in D'Piazza Mall, Penang, Malaysia, specializing in authentic, marinated charcoal-grilled chicken (Inasal) and dishes like pork sisig. It offers a taste of the Philippines, featuring smoky, savory flavors often served with garlic rice.

Today's lunch is a rm$18.90 set dish of "脆皮烤乳豬 Crispy Lechon Kawali" with:

• 兩個煎蛋 2 fried eggs (replaced rice with additional fried egg)
• 湯 Soup of the day
• 醃酸菜 Preserved Sour vegetables 
• 菲律賓風味烤豬肉 Philippines style roasted pork belly

• Sweet Ice-Lemon Tea (opted for water)

Lechon Kawali is a popular 菲律賓菜 Filipino dish consisting of 五花肉煮至軟爛 pork belly boiled until tender, then deep-fried in a 炒鍋wok or 平底鍋 pan ("kawali") until the 炸至表皮金黃酥脆 skin is golden and crispy, while the 肉質依然鮮嫩多汁 meat remains moist. It is a common, indulgent dish often 慶祝活動中享用 served during celebrations or as a main meal paired with rice and dipping sauces like 肝醬 liver sauce or 辣醋 spicy vinegar. Unfortunately for today's "Lechon Kawali", it was not served with the popular 肝醬 liver sauce as the dipping sauce!

Available in th emenu are popular Filipino dishes:

• Sisig - chopped pork (traditionally pig's head, ears, and liver) seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili pepper

• Grilled Liempo Inasal - smoky, tender pork belly (liempo) marinated in a savory-tangy sauce mix

• Palabog - classic Filipino noodle dish  with thin rice noodles (bihon) in vibrant orange sauce made from shrimp broth, pork, and annatto

• Silog - Filipino breakfast combination (and all-day meal) comprising SInangag (garlic fried rice) and itlog (fried egg, usually sunny-side up)

• Chicken Inasal - famous Visayan grilled chicken dish from the Philippines

Looking forward for the "Sisig" and "Grilled LIempo Inasal". 

菲律賓菜餚 Filipino cuisine is generally characterized by a distinct "東西融合 East-meets-West" flavor profile, balancing 鹹 savory, 酸 sour, and 甜 sweet notes rather than relying on heavy spices. 以米飯為主食 Centered on rice, it features bold, fermented flavors, widespread use of 醋 vinegar, 大蒜 garlic, and 醬油 soy sauce, and a deep appreciation for 海鮮 seafood and 烤肉 grilled meats.

Thoughts: There are 2 "Plant a Seed Vegan" in Penang:

Plant a Seed Vegan @ Lebuh Aceh (Last visit January 11.2026)

Plant a Seed Vegan @ Arena Curve (Today)

"Plant A Seed Vegan" in Penang is a 純素食 vegan restaurant chain known for serving 100% 植物為基礎 plant-based and 天然日式融合料理 natural Japanese fusion cuisine. With Main branch in Arena Curve at 峇六拜 Bayan Lepas and another branch at 喬治城 Georgetown. The Vegan restaurant offers a cozy,, healthy dining experience featuring dishes like 芒果壽司 mango sushi, 拉麵 ramen, 新鮮沙拉 fresh salads, and a variety of interesting Japanese dishes.

Today's dinner is a rm$20 "照燒豆腐鷹嘴豆泥沙拉 Hummus Salad with Teriyaki Tofu" which comes with: 

照燒豆腐 Teriyaki Tofu (200 Calories)

topped with 芝麻 sesame seeds (30 Calories)

黃瓜塊 Cucumber cubes (10 Calories)

裙帶菜 Chuka Wakame (40 Calories)

小番茄 Cherry tomatoes (20 Calories)

芒果塊 Mango cubes (100 Calories)

生菜 Lettuce (20 Calories) 

鷹嘴豆泥 Hummus (180 Calories)

This recipe combines creamy, 美味的鷹嘴豆泥 savory hummus with 泥土氣息濃鬱的照燒蘑菇 earthy teriyaki mushrooms or in this case 甜焦糖照燒豆腐 sweet caramelised teriyaki-glazed tofu and a combination of 新鮮沙拉 fresh salad (Plant a Seed's version also comes with 芒果塊 mango cubes), creating a balanced, 高蛋白 high-protein and 富含維生素的素食餐 vitamin-packed vegetarian meal which is maybe at least 600 Calories. The recipe usually can be served as a warm, 分層碗 layered bowl, 沙拉食材 a salad topper, or a 捲餅餡料 wrap filler. A likeable vegan dish and an excellent ending the night with Plant a seed's signature "冷泡茶 cold brew tea" with 100% tea leave extracts; choice was the rm$17 "金駿眉 Cold Brew Golden Brown Black Tea". The cold brew tea comes in a vase that resembles the PyunByeong" (편병) refers to a traditional Korean flat bottle-shaped vase or flask and the tea volume is good for 2 or 3 persons consumption. 

"Sushi Kitchen" advertised as the 1st Japanese Vegan Restaurant in Malaysia started sometime in 2009 in Penang Island, with its first restaurant at Sungai Ara, Penang and later established branches in KL and Klang Valley. "Plant A Seed" (previously known as "Super Vegan"), and many said it is linked to Sushi Kitchen, as it is a brand founded by the owner of the Sushi Kitchen group, focusing on vegan, plant-based Japanese cuisine. The Food remain the same with added recipes and advertised as no MSG in all of their recipes.

There are 2 "Sushi Kitchen" in Klang Valley: 

Sushi Kitchen @ Kota Damansara

Sushi Kitchen @ Bukit Jalil

Whether Penang's "Plant a Seed" or Klang Valley's "Sushi Kitchen" are related may not matter, both serve Japanese inspired vegan dishes, and looking forward to visit one of the Sushi Kitchen in town. However, another Japanese inspired vegan restaurant worth a visit is Sunway Pyramid's called "Zen House", last visit was May 13.2025.
