Fantastic - Edit
I ordered the pancakes and a variety of pastries with a coffee. Pancakes were delicious, not sure why they car called biscoff and strawberry pancakes as they don’t have any biscoff rather they have a butterscotch sauce which was way too sweet. Pastries are good however they are covered in extra sugar which is totally unnecessary. Coffee was also very good

Vegan pastry galore - Edit
Tried a few of their pastries - they were a little tough but the flavour was spot on. My favourites were the almond croissant and sausage and cheese croissant. Lots of other cakes and dessert options too.

Cute and tasty - Edit
During my first visit I tired the coconut soup with “fish” balls and it was so delightful that the next time I couldn’t help myself and ordered exactly the same thing. So, strongly recommend!
Read moreMatcha is good, very strong. I came straight after the airport after a very early flight and I tell you, one cup made a big difference.
The space itself is adorable. I love how they played with the staged zone.
I saw lots of people trying bakery stuff. I’m not so much into bread-kinda-things, but people seemed to enjoy. And it’s not easy to find vegan bakery around the city.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much, I did have a great experience!

Fun place - Edit
The vibes, pastries and options are really great and you'll wish you arrived more hungry so you could eat even more of the menu!
Read moreIn my opinion the actual food is a little bit less good than at the hungry tapir, but still an incredible spot.

cant help but love this place - Edit
I've been here a lot because their food is really delicious and also special, they have some flavour combos i havent had before. also their drinks are nice and the ambiente and interior really seals the deal. i will say one thing, we once got the sweet croissants from the dessert shelf and they were quite dry, bummer. the other things always were really good

A complete vegan restaurant - Edit
We went to this place twice, first as a takeout for just a simple dessert and second for a full dinner. The place has very cool sitting area and good vibes. Outdoor seating as well. Lots alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and beverages. Lots of meals and desserts as well. If we thought THT which is literally a minute or two away was good, this is even better. First the desserts.
Read moreMango Cheesecake - the best cheesecake we have ever had vegan or not. And this is not understatement. The cashew cheesecake didn’t taste cashewy and was perfect sweet and mango was just mind-blowing. The Pain Au Chocolat good.
The Dark Rich Chocolate Cake was divine. The Tiramisu was it was meant to be. Rich cream, coffee and lady finger cookie type base. Just amazing and to die for.
Steak and Mashed Potatoes with mixed greens and BBQ sauce was good. Steak was good and had a unique stringy texture. Mashed Potatoes very good.
The Diwali Thaali was a surprise that it was still available and was not in the menu, however the server suggested and we went for it. The mutton rendang was amazing. The rest of the curries very good and they were spicy - South Indian/Sri Lankan spicy. The vegan yogurt was something else. Never had vegan yogurt so close to the real thing. Some curries a bit greasy.
I hate going to restaurants like these! I want to try everything on the menu and I can’t in one or two visits. Wish it wasn’t 15k Kms from us.

Service was meh- - Edit
I’ll preface this with it being a holiday- lunar new year. It’s busy. We made a reservation and received a table outside which wasn’t great. We never received cups but were pointed to self service water, I ordered a dessert appetizer to eat while we wait knowing it would be a wait and never received it. Had to reorder the dessert 30 minutes later. It came with food.
Read moreFood was delish so I’m giving it 3 stars.
The staff was likely overwhelmed.
Bathroom was located in the hotel next door.
Other location is much better.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Minimal service , No bathrooms

My new favourite resto - Edit
The vibe itself was worth the visit. Pretty in pink and pumping with jazz music—it was so chill! I wish I was based in KL so I could come by again. The food was outstanding. We had the banoffee pie (incredible), espresso cake and the “bacon and cheese” pastry. The flavours were fantastic! The staff were also lovely. I hope I can return! :,))
Read morePros: Everything, but especially the Banoffee pie
Cons: That it isn’t where I live

Fancy - Edit
Trendy bar in the center of Kuala Lumpur. There are various seats, both inside and outside the place. Young and chic atmosphere. Friendly staff who speak English. Not too extensive menu but with choices for all tastes. Good food slightly expensive. I found it too salty for my taste, portions ok. Overall a positive experience, I would recommend it and would go back, maybe not every day.

Located in Chinatown - Edit
I saw on Happy Cow’s Instagram that this place serves one of the best vegan croissants, so of course, I had to try it – and it did not disappoint! The croissant was delicious, not overly sweet, with just the right balance. The breakfast selection was amazing and super creative; I could’ve happily tried everything on the menu. The decor was also very cool and added to the unique vibe of the place. I just wish we had a restaurant like this in Germany.

Disappointing - Edit
After an amazing meal at The Hungry Tapir, we decided to go to La Gula the next day for lunch. I am a hater of vegan cheese so I ordered one of the few menu items which didn’t mention containing fake cheese: Mr Rodrigo’s Deli, a ‘pastrami’ sandwich which said it came with “pickled red onions, mustard and gherkins”. Unfortunately what arrived contained a lot of vegan mayo, slabs of fake cheese and a very unappetising blue-dyed sauce. I picked out the pastrami pieces and left the rest. We also ordered a side of shoestring fries but they hadn’t arrived by the time we had finished eating and were ready to leave, so we had to ask for them to be removed from the bill (bearing in mind it was lunchtime and they weren’t especially busy). To drink I had the green juice which was unexpectedly small and some of which spilled due to the table being very wobbly.
