Delicious (1 Utama) + Paddington House of Pancakes
1 Utama has been our regular hangout coz of the manageable crowds on weekends. Apart from Yishensu, I must say that 1 Utama does not really have a lot of choices for vegetarians. However, I am thankful that delicious has a branch in 1 Utama as it has a very vegetarian friendly menu. Never again I have to decide whether to trust the waiter when he nods his head when I ask if the item on the menu is indeed vegetarian.
One of my favourite item on delicious' menu - the trio of dips
The lebanese bread was baked to perfection and went really well with the three dips. I particularly like the green dip as it has a very tangy herb kick to it.
I totally love the pinenuts on this grilled mushroom salad. However, priced at over RM20 (excluding service tax of 10% and government tax of 6%), it is a little pricey.
The good thing about dining in malls is because of the possibility of going on a "restaurant crawl" right after a meal.
So, we left Delicious to hunt for some dessert after our main meal and finally decided to go with Paddington House of Pancakes.
Paddington House of Pancakes have revised the prices on the menu but I am pleased to say that they have maintained the portion and goodies that come with their pancakes :)
Oh my god, this has got to be the most sinful but most satisfying dessert ever!
Presenting to you the chocolate peanut butter roll, which looks very "innocent" on the outside...
but look what is hidden in the inside! Check out the oozing melted chocolate mixed with very tasty and chunky peanut butter! You have so got to try this!!!!! However, not all pancakes served at Paddington's is as satisfying as the one mentioned above as we did not find the option below (pancakes topped with mango puree) to be overly sweet. It would have been much better if they replaced the cream with vanilla ice-cream instead.

Shihlin Taiwan Bento Box, 1 Utama Shopping Complex
As I approached the lower ground concourse level of One Utama New Wing, a surge of festivity immediately shrouded me. I found myself standing in the middle of a European Winter Wonderland. The xmas deco at One Utama was spectacular!
I also discovered something new. A taiwanese bento box eatery. It's great if you are looking for a quick and simple meal. Priced at RM10.80 per bento box, the food is of great value, read on to find out why.
Each bento box also comes with a free cup of iced red tea. I was very happy as I actually expected a very diluted and tasteless drink, but I was served something that exceeded my expectations! Great job.
Don't expect something luxurious at this eatery as the seating is quite tight and very limited. Since the business is bustling, the management should really consider moving into a larger shop lot.
The bento box serving is good enough for two girls or a very hungry guy. The bento box comes with a huge bowl of rice drizzled with a very tasty soy sauce, topped off with a few pieces of juicy spiced tofu. It is accompanied by half a hard boiled egg and vegetables/mushroom tempura.
The tempura is sprinkled with a very special pepper powder, greatly enhancing its taste. The tempura batter is different than the ones you would normally find at Japanese restaurants. The batter here at Shihlin is thicker and carries a crispy outer but moist inner.
Now that you have two great reasons to visit 1 Utama this xmas, three if you count in the great xmas sale, what are you waiting for!

I love Japanese food but unfortunately for vegetarians, there aren't many dishes to choose from. After a good satisfying meal at Sushi Tei in Tropicana City, we decided to give Sakae Sushi a try when we visited 1Utama on Sunday. We ordered the Yasai Tempura and Cha Soba, and from the sushi train we managed to get a plate of edame and also a plater of three small mochi. There is a tap at each and every table where you can get own hot water for your green tea. The pricing is not quite worth the serving size at Sakae Sushi and I do not think I will returning to this eatery in the future!
Yasai Tempura - RM 7.90
Cha Soba - RM 9.90 Mochi (3 pcs/ plate) - RM 3.90
Soya Bean (per plate) - RM 5.90
Hot Green Tea - RM 2.00 per cup - refillable at table

Portion is not something that this restaurant should boast about as what you get is not really worth your money, oh well, beggars can't be choosers! How I wish Malaysia would have as many vegetarian restaurants as Hong Kong and Singapore, so the veggie restaurants would not monopolize the market! Anyway, we do dine here once in awhile, not because it's delicious, but because it's one of the two vegetarian restaurant available at 1U.
This is not free soup, unlike Kuan Yin Chai. Nice, but quite oily though.
Char Kway Teow it came chunky. i wouldn't recommend it.
Very common dish, nothing special.
What a bland visit to YiShenSu. We actually ordered another dish, the kung po pork, but it came so late that we decided to cancel it. So yea, slow service, so-so tasting food, won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon!

They really mean it when they say it is spicy zucchini as the spaghetti which we ordered with spicy zucchini was quite hot that we need to have cold sips in between our mouthfuls of this tasty pasta dish. I am happy that the serving is just enough that do not make you too full and it is not oily and is just nice for my taste. The warm scones were lovely with a crusty outside and when cut into halves you can see it is light and fluffy. Spread the jam and cream and mm......... they just combine and melt in your mouth.
Spicy Zucchini - RM 21.90
Scones - RM 7.90

Two avid vegetarians are here to share some insights to the world of vegetarianism.
Hopefully, through this site, the lives of some animals can be spared. Always remember, animals have feelings too, they are our friends not our meal.
