Recently, I have been extremely health conscious, finding litle appetite for food that leaves a guilty feeling afterwards. Hence, I was very happy with my healthy find at Jalan Ampang's Kuan Yin temple. I could always count on getting something delicious and yet tasty here.
Noodles topped with grated veggies and a generous amount of seaweed.
The passionfruit juice has gotten a lot sweeter lately, I hope it is not because they chose to sweeten it artificially with sugar! Thankfully, there's free soup as an alternative :)
Whenever I am around KLCC area in Jalan Ampang, I will never miss to have my lunch at the Kuan Yin Temple. Parking is free in the front compound of the temple. If you are blocking somebody, just leave your mobile number on the dash board and thereafter you can proceed to have lunch at the back of the temple. There are so many types of vege to choose from for your mix rice and at the other corner you may wish to have soup or dry noodles. There is also a fruit stall with cut fruits. At the drinks section, they have passion fruit or coconut water and also ice kacang. There is also a big pot of soup which is available daily - Free of charge (FOC) and then remainder food from morning session which can be fried meehoon or porridge which is also FOC.

When we arrived at the Kuan Yin Temple at around 1.30pm, the lunch time crowd has already disappeared and so are all the food too. There are only a few dishes left for the mixed rice and they are also already cold. I proceeded to another stall and was informed that there is still a bowl of pumpkin and fun kott soup available. It is suppose to go with rice but as there is no more rice left, the stall owner suggested that she will boil some meehoon for me to go with the soup. Some shredded beetroot, carrots. cabbage and some green vege were added and finally a generous amount of sesame seeds were sprinkled onto it. I have never thought of preparing a soup with this type of combination but somehow it gives the meehoon a very unique and special taste
Meehoon soup - RM 3.80

Lunch time at Kuan Yin Temple, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur
Had some official business at Jalan Ampang and as it was already lunch time when I finished what I have to do I thought I might as well walk over to the Kuan Yin Temple which is just a short distance from KLCC before I return home. You can never be bored with having lunch here as there are over 40 dishes of vege dishes to choose from to go with rice. Besides rice with dishes you can also opt for noodles, meehoon either in fried or soup styles. Then there are a few types of "paus" and breads. For desserts there are different varieties of fruits, "ice kacang" and also passion fruit juice and fresh coconut water with succulent coconut flesh.

Lui Cha is available on Fridays. Lui Cha is of Hakka origin. It is being served with 7 types of vegetables with a grounded tea. 'Lui' actually mean "to grind" in the Hakka dialect, so the correct translation of Lui Cha should be 'grounded tea' and not 'thunder tea' as translated by most people. There are two ways to serve Lui Cha. One is to have the grounded tea soup directly added to the rice and vegetables and the other way is to serve it separately. I prefer mine to be added to my rice with a lot of sesame seeds whereas my friend prefer hers to be served separately.
