Be LOHAS Healthy Vegetarian Cuisine
How many of you here are vegetarian? Raise your hands. Well, I am not a vegetarian but I do believe in organic food and eating healthy whenever possible.
That is why I am now growing my own greens in whatever little space I have at home.
Last Sunday, a vegetarian friend invited our family to dine at Be LOHAS Healthy Vegetarian Cuisine in Sunway Mentari.
Be LOHAS healthy vegetarian cuisine, Mentari Plaza.
Ayden and Ethan googling for what’s best to order here :P
Every diner in Be LOHAS will be given complimentary Spirulina tablets and Honey Ginger Lemongrass tea to warm our tummies before our meal. It was Ethan’s first time eating spirulina and here’s his reaction:
You can read about his story on first time eating spirulina here.
We were privileged to be among the first to try their Set Lunch and Dinner that will be available from 1st May 2015 onwards. We chose Set B1 for 4pax. For RM108 (Non-member) or RM99.36 (Member) we get:
Mongolian Soy Fish
Curry Mixed Vegetables
Ladies Finger with Sesame Sauce
Seaweed Veggie Ball Soup
Mushroom and Vegetable
Our set comes with 4 bowls of 3-Grain Rice.
While the boys love the Mongolian Soy Fish the most, my favourite has got to be the Organic Soya Milk Mixed Vege Curry. Made of organic soya milk instead of coconut milk, it is easier digested and I need not worry about high cholesterol when drenching my rice with the delicious curry gravy. The organic virgin coconut oil used gives a delicate coconut fragrance to this wonderful curry dish. The curry is really good that I don’t feel I’m eating vegetarian at all. It is no wonder their ala carte Organic Soya Milk Curry Laksa Noodle is one of their much sought after dish.
As a whole, the dishes in this set complimented each other really well. The ladies finger in rich creamy sesame seed dressing goes very well with the boys while the mushroom and vege dish suits Darling and I more as the boys don’t like leafy greens. The seaweed vege ball soup is surprisingly very tasty but it was the nice kind of tasty; not those that will leave you thirsty later on as the food here has no MSG added.
Overall, we had a combination of sweet, spicy and savoury dishes to tease our palate that afternoon. Not only that, because Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are approaching soon, Be LOHAS is giving out complimentary cake and fruit platter with every set meal purchased on Saturdays and Sundays.
I received a cake and fruit platter because I am a MOTHER :)
The carrot cake with cream cheese layers is really one of the best I’ve eaten thus far. Topped with generous cream cheese and nuts, it is really a heavenly bite.
I love the interior of this place. Even their washroom signage is green!
Their handwash area is also nice.
But Ayden loves this part the most. He was so busy looking at the fish that he totally ignored the two lengluis there!
errr…definitely I am no vegetarian and seldom patronise vegetarian restaurant though I used to do it when I was a teen because I believe in Buddhism then.
The place looks good and clean and it was surprising to find such a nice place that offers vegetarian food. Usually, it is those non air-cond kopitiams or an old school restaurant.
Anyway, JB does have one like this years ago which I also blogged about it in my old blog. Its modern and looks like a cafe but poor business causes it to wrap up. The building also dismantle already!
This one here is very well known. You ask any vegetarian people, they’ll definitely know of Be LOHAS or BMS Organics. Maybe you know BMS Organics too. When I was having lunch there, I saw steady stream of customers. I guess people these days are really health conscious. It helps that Owen Yap is their ambassador too. My idol! Haha.
Heart-warming pic of the two boys. Ummm…vegetarian? If I do not eat meat, I’d be hungry again after an hour or so and would want to eat again. Old habits die hard, I guess.
You and william same-same. But now that he is getting older, he is also cutting down on meat. I have no problem as I have been eating lots of vege and less meat for so long now.
I’m not a vegetarian, but I wouldn’t mind having vegetarian meals once in a while. Apart from the seaweed soup, all your dishes above are agreeable to me!
Maybe Ayden is investigating if those fish are lovely enough before he bring the lengluis to see those gold fish! XD
You don’t like seaweed?
Don’t like (absolutely hate) them in soup, feels like eating a pile of hair :/
I love how thus place uses real vegetables instead of the gluten protein as ‘vegetarian’ meals. And not deep fried too! Definitely would love to try. =)
If I eat here, I will request them to take back the Spirulina tablets because feel weird to be taking tablets when I just want to eat a meal.
They told me that’s the correct way to do it, with the tea to warm up the tummy before a meal.
The “fish balls” looks exactly like the real one, I wonder it’s made from what ingredients?
Vege balls. I think soy (if I am not mistaken).
