The restaurant was part of a popular chain with various outlets in Malaysia. It was well known for its chinese dishes. It was located at one end of the ground floor of the shopping mall. Although the restaurant did not offer free wifi, one was enable to tap on the free wifi by the shopping mall. The restaurant was packed during Saturday lunch time but did not offer dim sum menu.
We started the meal with Jasmine Pearl Tea & chrysanthemum tea (RM12/ pot serving 2-3 pax) a pot each as we had 6 people. The young staff who served the tea was quite blur and did not know which tea was which. We had to figure out ourselves then.

The serving was just nice for a piece for each one. Felt it was a quite expensive for such a small serving. The boneless pork ribs was quite tender and flavourful.

Served with pancake, spring onions, cucumber and sweet sauce.

Felt that it was a bowl of soya bean milk topped with barley, beancurd, ginko and boiled egg. Not the usual method of cooking the beancurd skin till it melted.

The pear was quite soft but the white fungus still had not reached the melt in the mouth texture.
Overall the food was not bad, although the staffs were not quite good with explanation especially on the part where why the tea had 2 pax on the bill.

After a late lunch, we decided to pop by here for dessert whil waiting for the rest to arrive. For a late Sunday afternoon, the place was not crowded. The place is decorated in a modern wooden look. It sells korean style desserts, snacks and drinks.

 

 
Service was not bad as each of us was served iced water after ordering. Service was fast and smooth. The cafe also had free wifi. Just remember to ask the staff for password.
Mango Snow Ice

The shaved ice was very smooth and melted very fast too. It tasted quite milky. The mango chunks were sweet and juicy.

Wished the the baguette had been toasted to give it a slight crispy crust. The baguette was soaked in honey which tasted sweet and soft. The glutinous rice was soft and chewy.

The drink tasted sweet and flavourful but would prefer it to be richer in taste.

Overall the desserts were not bad here but the prices seem a bit too much on the high side.

Located at Level 1 of the atas shopping mall, is this chinese restaurant. It is part of a well known chain of chinese restaurants in KL. The restaurant is decorated in modern traditional style with red and black in color. The restaurant is known for its signature Peking duck. So what is a meal here without its signature dish.

As we are not a big group, I decide to have the Peking Duck Two Course 烤鸭二食 (RM98) which uses half serving of Peking Duck to serve 2 dishes.

 

 
First Course 一食
A chef thinly sliced the duck by the table. The first part is when we get to taste the thin and crispy skin. The skin is very crispy with barely any fat on it. The second part is where we get handon to wrap the duck meat with cucumber, green onion, honey melon, homemade BBQ sauce on pancake. It is quite an appetizing dish.

 
Second Course 二食
Stir-fried Minced Duck Meat with Pinenut and Conpoy Served with Lettuce 炒鸭松拌生菜
The dish is well cooked without any gamey taste.

As each pot of tea served 2-3 persons and we have 5 persons, we are expected to order at least 2 pots of tea.

Lychee Black Tea 荔枝红茶 (RM12)
This coppery blend of Chinese black tea and lychee is a very enjoyable sipping tea. The sweetness of the lychee covers the slightly bitter taste of the tea but doesnt conceal its delicious fragrance.
This simple looking tea has a hint of the natural sweetness from the lychee fruit.

Chrysanthemum Flower 杭菊皇 (RM12)
The flowers have a light liquor color with a fresh flower aroma. They act as a natural coolant which increases immunity and helps to postpone the aging process.
It tastes light and refreshing.

 
Deep-fried Beancurd with Salt & Pepper 椒盐豆腐 (RM8)
The beancurd has a thin crispy skin while soft and smooth inside. Great one.

 
Sautéed Kai-lan with Mushrooms and Black Fungus 双菇木耳炒芥兰 (RM25)
Cooked in vegetarian style the black fungus has a crunchy texture.

 
Sautéed Egg White with Crab Meat and Dried Scallops 芙蓉赛螃蟹 (RM22)
Most restaurants which serves this dish, usually will advise customers to mix in vinegar as soon as possible. However it is not the case here. One could not taste any crab meat or scallop in this dish. Guess must be mostly egg white. Feel that the texture of the egg white could be finer.

 
Deep-fried Vegetarian Beancurd Skin Roll 脆皮素鹅 (RM12)
It is light and crispy.

 
Double boiled Snow Pear with White Fungus and Red Dates 南北杏桂圆雪耳炖雪梨 (RM18)
The pear is very soft and refreshing in taste, as well as, not too sweet.

 
Water chestnut cream with sea coconut 清润海底椰炖马蹄露 (RM8)
The version here is not bad, being not too thick and sweet.

 
Barley Beancurd skin with ginkgo and quail egg soup 白果腐竹薏米鹌鹑蛋糖水 (RM8)
It looks like a bowl of hot soya bean milk, but tastes great.

 
Steamed Piggy Bun 宝贝猪仔包 (RM9)
The steamed pau comes in 2 versions : the green colored pigglet is stuffed with lotus paste, while the pink colored pigglet is stuffet with red bean paste. The paus are cute in design. They tastes soft and fluffy.

 
Deep Fried Durian Pancakes (RM10)
I am a bit disappointed in this dessert as the durian is a bit pale in taste and the batter coating has off taste. Expect better grade one especially in a well known restaurant.

Overall the food is great. Service is great except during the peak hours we have a bit of problem getting the staff to refill tea.

Simple Life is a chain of restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offering vegetarian meals which are organic, natural and most importantly, nutritious. Its menu offers interesting dishes such as include Lei Cha with Brown Rice, Ginger Extract with Brown Rice Mee Sua, Vegetarian Nasi Lemak, Curry Laksa and Popiah.

In here the restaurant adhere to the following regimes when preparing the dishes:
1) Serve foods with natural and organic ingredients which are pesticide-free.
2) Use brown sugar in cooking instead of refined sugar, which can cause indigestion.
3) Avoid using coconut milk for cooking curry. Replace with cashew nut powder which is similar in taste.
4) Cook with extra virgin coconut oil.
5) Highly recommend Brown Rice/ Noodles/ Vermicelli to customers.
6) Using natural seasoning, alkaline water and avoid using MSG, colouring and preservatives.
Organic Lei Cha

Organic Lei Cha

 
Organic Lei Cha 有机擂茶 (RM16.90)
Usually this dish is served with all the chopped vegetables on top of the plain rice. The version here is served with multi grain rice. I like that the vegetables are served in separate bowls so that I could choose the vegetables that I like better. It is also better as we are sharing as a group.
Vegetarian Assam Fish

I never realise that vegetable is used to replace the fish instead of the usual mock fish. It is so tasty.

Mini Steamboat (Organic Black Beans/ Miso/ Burdock Soup/ Tom Yam Soup) 迷你火锅(有机黑豆汤 /味增汤 /牛蒡汤 /东炎汤) (RM20.90)
We have ordered this in Miso soup base. The serving is quite huge and soup is refillable. I never have a vegetarian miso soup that tastes so nice, not too salty but still very flavourful.
Organic Black Bean Soup with Brown Rice Ramen

Organic Black Bean Soup with Brown Rice Ramen /Brown Rice Bee Hoon /Brown Rice Mee Sua 有机黑豆糙米拉面汤 /糙米米粉 /糙米面线 (RM13.90)

Multi Grain Rice Nasi Lemak

Multi Grain Rice Nasi Lemak

 
Multi Grain Rice Nasi Lemak (with organic coconut oil) 有机椰油五谷饭 (RM14.90)
It is cooked with extra virgin coconut oil, with Sambal made from carrots and cabbage, it is both spicy and delicious, resembling the usual Nasi Lemak. It is interesting that no mock meat is used in creating the rendang and the cripsy anchovies.
Mixed Fruit Rojak 蔬果罗也

Mixed Fruit Rojak 蔬果罗也

 
Mixed Fruit Rojak 蔬果罗也 (RM10.90)
I like that pickled papaya is added on top of this local fruit salad. It makes it tastes much better than the real thing.
Malacca Nyonya Chendol

Fresh Mixed Fruit Tea

Fresh Mixed Fruit Tea

 
Fresh Mixed Fruit Tea 新鲜水果茶 (RM15.90)
Served 2 - 3 persons.
The drink is served with tiny cups. It is served hot. It tastes thick and rich, with a fruity taste. It is like drinking a hot version of fruit juice.
Peaceful Mind Juice

Peaceful Mind Juice

 
Peaceful Mind Juice 心境舒缓蔬果汁 (RM8.90)

It is light and refreshing.
100% Fresh Dragon Fruit + Pineapple Smoothie

100% Fresh Dragon Fruit + Pineapple Smoothie 纯正新鲜龙珠果+凤梨冰沙 (RM9.90)
The smoothie is very thick and rich in texture. Interesting that no milk is used here.

Overall the food is delicious. It is rare to find a restaurant where no processed vegetarian products is used in asia. The meal makes one feels healthy as it is made of natural and healthy ingredients. The only problem we have is the long waiting time for the food to arrive. Can't wait to come again to try other dishes in the menu.

Green Tea Latte

The green tea latte kinds of reminds me of the Starbucks version. It tastes thick and sweet on its own.

Overall the food is great and the place has a kind of relaxing feel, even when it is located in the busy noisy city area. Great for one to pop by when one needed a break.
