Totally recommend this place as it offers many vegan dishes, also traditional ones. Especially the vegan chocolate cake and the coconut shake were very delicious. Food was fine, but not the best. You can also buy whole grain and white "bread" which is rather like a toast but didn't convince us. All in all it's a nice place with a comfy ambient and good service!

My friend and I came here for lunch and got the high protein and low carb vegan sharing dish. Local dishes but with a healthy style. It was absolutely incredible. The food was so delicious. The food was high quality. The staff were so friendly. It was a great place to chill and enjoy for a few hours. We really enjoyed it. They had many food and drink options. There are meat options if one wants vegan and other is a meat eater.

Always must applaud those seeking to give a twist to local staples. Their take on nasi lemak with healthier rice options is a good move. The in-house sambal selection is good too.

Came across this "hidden gem" when walking at carpenter and gave it a try. Definitely worth it, the place is chill and the food is giving the "homemade" vibe. Flavour is there, seasoned well and good portion. The price is okay maybe around RM30 per per person with drinks. The environment is great, is chill, quiet and tons of arts which i love. But bare in mind they close kinda early. But overall great food and experience there.

cute little restaurant and "art-cafe" with amazing food and very friendly staff. They have very good vegan and vegetarian options, which I loved. (They even had a very delicious vegan chocolate cake!). The food is fresh, healthy and authentic. I highly recommend visiting this place, during your time in Kuching. They also sell some local arts and crafts there and they also have a very nice homemade sambal you can buy, to take with you.

This café is run by several ladies as a cooperative, serving healthy, traditional food, while showcasing and selling local artwork. Cooking classes are also offered. The café is fairly small with limited outdoor seating, and half a dozen or so tables in the rear. The modest chairs and tables are clean and add to the charm of the place. When we ate here, we were pleased to see a group of 8 locals enjoying a hearty meal. The menu offers individual plates, or combinations, and caters for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans. We ordered the beef rendang sharing platter and the chicken masak mereh. Both the beef and the chicken were delicious, made even better by authentic home-made sauces. One small negative observation would be the extensive use of microwave ovens to reheat the food. I totally understand that some of these dishes can take hours to prepare and so they need to be reheated prior to serving. In the case of the chicken, though, this led to a number of both hot and cold spots in the meat itself. Reheating gently in a pot instead would likely achieve a more even heat distribution. Other than this, we thoroughly enjoyed the rich, authentic flavours of the food. The overall price of the meal was very modest too and our hosts were really pleasant too.
