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

Vegetarian Assam Fish 亚参蔬菜余
I never realise that vegetable is used to replace the fish instead of the usual mock fish. It is so tasty.
''Kong Poh'' Lion's Mane Mushroom

''Kong Poh'' Lion's Mane Mushroom

 
"Kong Poh" Lion's Mane Mushroom 宫保猕猴菇 (RM19.90)
The mushroom is crunchy and tasty.
Mini Steamboat (Miso)

Mini Steamboat (Miso)

 
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

 
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)
We have ordered this in Brown Rice Ramen version. The soup looks milky but tastes great. It looks a bit plain compared to other dishes.
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

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

Malacca Nyonya Chendol

 
Malacca Nyonya Chendol 马六甲娘惹煎堆 (RM5.90)
The dessert take quite a long while to arrive. The version here is not bad, although I prefer the shaved ice to be less coarse.
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.

At the top floor of the shopping mall, there is this popular chinese restaurant. The restaurant is quite huge and seats quite a big number of customers. There is a birthday party which occupied half of the restaurant when we arrive at the restaurant. Yet the restaurant is so big that we are not affected by the noise.
Chef Speciality Pork Rib With Speical Sauce

The rib is quite tender and well flavoured, although there is barely any sauce to go with the meat.

Chef Speciality Bean Curd in ''Pi Pa'' Style

(RM4.24/ piece)
It does not look like bean curd to me when served. Its texture is as smooth as bean curd, but there is also a crunchy and meaty texture to it. I suspect there is water chestnut, crab meat and minced prawns added to the mixture. It is a very tasty dish.
Braised Duck and Braised Chicken

Braised Duck and Braised Chicken

 
Braised Duck and Braised Chicken
The staff recommends this dish which is only available on weekends. As we cannot decide between chicken and duck, we decide to have half serving of each. The dish takes quite a long while to be served. The meat is very tender, juicy and well flavoured.

Stir Fried Assorted Vegetable with Special Sauce

Steamed Egg With Salted Egg

It looks simple but is well cooked without being too soft or hard.

Overall the dishes are great. Service is not bad too, with tea refilled often. The only problem is the long waiting time between each dishes.

Long queue OK Jun 10, 2015

The restaurant is very well known at Batu Caves area. This restaurant has a policy where one can only place 1 order at per table (which means no reordering of food if one find that the ordered food is not enough).

 
The restaurant only operates from 8.30am to 3.30pm daily and is closed for 2 days per month. The restaurant is located at the end of a row of shophouses. It is open-air with simple looking chairs and tables around.

 
The restaurant is packed when we arrived. There is a long list of people waiting for tables. As most of the tables available are for small groups and we are in a big group of 7, we end up waiting about an hour for a table.

 
We are given a number tag (which will be given to the staff when our order is taken), when a table is available for us. There is no menu given and we could only order based on the staff's recommendation, which is basically what most tables are having.

Although the weather is extremely hot, we have Hot Tea (RM11.50+) with ice cubes to keep cool as that is what most tables are having.

 
Stir Fried Sweet Leaves (RM18+)
A simple vegetable dish. We feel the vegetable used here is a bit old, based on the color of the vegetable. Quite disappointing.

 
滑蛋河 Cantonese Style Hor Fun (RM18+)
Single serving in vegetarian style with no garlic, onion and spring onion. Quite smooth and rich in texture.

 
Porridge (RM15.40+)
It is served with sliced fish and century egg in it. The porridge is very smooth and creamy in texture, while the fish is very fresh and smooth too.

 
Pork Meat Bee Hoon (RM21.20+)
It is a very simple and traditional dish of stir fried stewed pork belly with bee hoon. The pork belly is quite tender and does not taste jelat.

 
Fried Pork Meat (RM29+)
It is deep fried pork belly marinated in red fermented beancurd. I feel the version here is not very good as it lack of crispiness outside. Another point is that I would prefer it to be served with the porridge, instead of after finishing al the other dishes. The porridge would be a good balance to the strong taste of the fermented beancurd taste in the pork.

 
River Prawn Hor Fun (RM120.85+)
It is served with 3 pieces of the famed giant sized River Prawns, which each of us get half piece each.

 
The prawn is quite huge in size, filled with lots of roe in the shell. The gravy is rich and luscious, while the noodle flows smoothly down the throat.

 
Besides these dishes, the restaurant also offers a variety of swiss rolls and pastries over its counter.

Overall the food is not bad, but I feel that it is quite expensive to dine in here. One would think twice of making a trip all the way to this ula ula place, suffers a long waiting time and follows by a delicious in a hot and humid place.

Located at the first floor or WOLO Hotel, is is this classy looking bakery cafe. It is a 2 stories cafe with the second floor reserved for hotel guests.

 

 
Besides offering a great variety of breads, pastries, cakes and bottled drinks, it also offers a selection of hot dishes over the counter. There is free wifi in the cafe. Just remember to look for the password which comes with the number tag when one places order over the counter.

For breakfast , there is
Breakfast Set A

Breakfast Set A

 
SET A
A combination of scrambled egg,chicken sausage, grilled tomato, and baked beans, served  with a slice of sour dough and a side salad. It comes with a cup of coffee or tea.
A big breakfast with everything in it.

Egg & Soldier

Soft boiled egg, blackrice pulut pan bread & breadstick

Wolo Egg Benedict

Wolo Egg Benedict

 
Wolo Egg Benedict (RM13.90)
Poached egg & turkey ham with hollandaise sauce in between toasted english muffin. Served with a slice of beef bacon & a side salad.
I am a bit disappointed when the egg yolk does not flow like lava when being cut open. Overall still not bad.
Banana Ricotta Cheese French Toast

Banana Ricotta Cheese French Toast

 
Banana Ricotta Cheese French Toast (RM14.90/ 2pcs)
Rich & delicious french toast with caramelised banana.
Everyone agrees that this is the best dish of the meal. The simple toast is flavourful and yummy. But it is also the one which takes the longest time to be served.

Cheese Mushroom Omelette

Cheese Mushroom Omelette

 
Cheese Mushroom Omelette
(RM18.90)
Sauted mushroom, choice of beef bacon or turkey ham, onion, spinach & mozzarella cheese egg omelette with a side salad.
Moist and creamy inside.

 
Also order Cafe Americano (RM6.90) and Green Tea Latte (RM11.90) to go with the meal.
Green Tea Latte

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.

Disappointing Service Cry Jun 05, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malay | Western variety | Restaurant | Nasi Lemak

 
Recently I received a voucher from the shopping mall that enables one to redeem up to 2 kid meals with purchase of a main course at this restaurant. The restaurant is located at Level 7 and we have a hard time trying to locate this place.

As it is already past 9pm when we reach the restaurant and the restaurant closes at 9.45pm, we decide to takeaway the meal. We show the staff the voucher, but it is not acknowledged by him. After that we are showed to a series of staffs and left waiting outside the restaurant without a reply. One of the staffs who turns out to be the assistant manager, evens gives an excuse that he is not a regular staff here and therefore does not know about this promotion.

After a very long series of talks, the voucher is finally acknowledged by the restaurant. We order a main of Fish & Chips (RM29+) with Nasi Goreng with Chicken Satay (RM12+) and Fish and Chips (RM12+) as the free kid meals.

 
Another bad surprise for us when we look through our takeaway. Instead of Nasi Goreng with Chicken Satay, the takeaway turns out to be Chicken Mushroom Spaghetti (RM12+). By then we are too angry and tired to ask for exchange with the staff, and also it is almost closing time. The fish and chips has a stale oil taste. The pasta fairs slightly, although it is a bit too creamy and rich.

Overall this is a very bad experience with the restaurant. No wonder there is not much customers in this restaurant, even it is decorated very classy. With this kind of service, who would want to dine in here. Poor service plus wrong order equals bad experience.
