Four Guang Vegetarian Fast Food

If one day you realize you're too broke to even afford a 5 Ringgit meal, what are you going to do? 'ikat perut' ?

Hopefully, you love vegetarian food. Unfortunately we always end up paying more for a vegetarian meal than a normal meal, right?

So what do I recommend?

Introducing you to the one and only CHEAP, good, healthy and clean vegetarian economy rice(chap fan)
CHEAP, as in dirt cheap, only at RM2.00! Eyes opened, jaws droppings yet?

I always pass through this road from LDP to Aman Suria to send my friends back home but this just actually never caught my eye. You know besides the ever popular Betty's Midwest Kitchen, Andes, Kayu, Murni Discovery and so on.

One fine day, my friend told me about this. "Eh this restaurant vegetarian 'chap fan' is only at Two Ringgit."

In disbelief, I asked him to repeat that sentence 3 times. And the next day we patronize it with us betting "if its not Two Ringgit you spend me" :P

See the menu? Its true! Also its a very clean open kitchen with wide array of vegetarian food.
And i got to repeat this to you to. It was really RM2! :)
I lost the bet with my friend, so I paid for lunch but in retrospect, found out a great new place to eat :P

They also serve Curry Laksa, Wantan Mee, Chee Cheong Fun and other dishes as well.

My lunch for the day :)
My personal favourite picks from all the array of food on that day.

Only thing is that after you finish your meal, you need to place your plate at the provided place.
Just like at Ikea!

However, many customers just walk away. Somehow I feel its quite mean
(but maybe they just didnt know).

I've heard that this is like some sort of a donation by a Buddist organisation, sorta like a soup kitchen for the poor. Theres a tv which plays a monk's teachings, but its not dodgy or like a propaganda or stuff.

If i'm a successful restaurateur one day, I would love to do this kind of donation as this is the best way to donate to the public. Cheap, clean, good and healthy food just for the public. Its one of the best ways to give back.

There are varies RM2 vegetarian soup kitchens around town, check out the link below for full details on where is it located.

Egg in a Basket

Have you ever wanted to impress someone, who perhaps you had an interest in?
Well, I'm pretty sure the thought of cooking probably popped out at one point or another.

Problem is, what if you have no idea of "wth" happens in a kitchen, how could you even think of cooking to impress that someone? Ahh, fret not! Here it is, something really simple and sweet, sweet as in it will definitely melt your someone specials heart :P Guaranteed!

What you will need?
Eggs
Bread
Salt
Pepper
Heart Shape Mould (optional)
Butter / Cooking Oil

Nothing too fancy, just something ordinary your house should have or even if you don't, this are the simplest and easiest ingredients to be sought after right?

Method:
1. Cut out a heart shape(or round shape) on the bread.
2. Toast the bread on the frying pan with some oil/butter.
3. Add the egg to the centre and fry till the egg is full cooked and sprinkle a little salt and pepper.

Now anyone would love a breakfast like this, cook this up for your loved ones tomorrow morning!
Add a spoonful of berry jams, marmalade or even tomato sauce for an extra tinge of sweetness.

You could also name it bird's nest, bull's eye eggs, cowboy eggs, egg in the hole, eggs in a blanket, elephant egg bagel, frog in a hole, gas house eggs, moon eggs, and Rocky Mountain toast. So now you can name a dish specially for your loved ones, just for the right occasion :)
