Kwang Ming Vegetarian, Klang

Sometimes, don't you just want to wake up and have chicken rice? Wait.. Oh no, I'm a vegetarian! Not to worry, the solution is Kwang Ming Vegetarian Restaurant, Klang! The chicken rice often runs out after 11a.m. or 12p.m., please go early or give them a call especially during the 1st or 15th of the lunar calendar (where Buddhist followers eat vegetarian). Also, beware - the owner has mentioned to me before that on certain occasions, a customer would purchase and take-away all the chicken rice! It is cheap at a very reasonable price of around rm6 per pax! The dishes listed out below are served without eggs, garlic and onion and are suitable for vegans.

1) Chicken rice

with choice of chicken, char siew or duck 

I am in love with the texture of the rice itself - it taste exactly like the real chicken rice (except that this does not use chicken stock/broth at all!).  The chicken rice alone gives an aromatic buttery and broth-like aftertaste, and this is enhanced with the addition of their light soy sauce (broth-like) and dark soy sauce (I believe the sauces are homemade as it is not salty).  You can also choose between duck (left), char siew (middle), and chicken (right). My favourite is the char siew, followed by the chicken and duck. The char siew is soft and chewy, and emits an aroma of char siew flavour (closest to the real thing compared to chicken and duck).  As seen in the picture, the chicken is made of beancurd rolls with a crispy layer of beancurd sheet) - suitable for those who does not like mock meat.  The duck tasted bland and the texture is very rubbery and difficult to swallow - a definite no to protestors of mock meat!

2) Curry laksa

I have only tried this once, and the soup is disappointingly oily, bland, lack the flavour of curry and isn't spicy enough. The ingredients and noodles are average, but isn't curry laksa all about the soup?

3) Yam cake 

This is another dish I often call together with the chicken rice.  The yam cake is "ricey", and not too rubbery or chewy compared to many yam cakes I have tried elsewhere.  The "ricey" texture is perfectly moist, nicely clumps up together to form a thick and heavy aromatic yam-flavoured cake which leaves one full and gratifying! The usual meat version has dried shrimps or prawns in it.  Over here, there is no vegetarian shrimps or prawns added, but well-seasoned with their black sweet sauce and chilli sauce. Would have been perfect if the yam cake is served warm.
