The next and most recent restaurant that I would like to blog about is also found in Penang. I know for a fact that it is still open as I was there just this year in August. This place is called Ye Ke Shu, which translate to chinese as One Tree. And as per previous post, this vegetarian restaurant also have a sketch of it's own! A very profession sketch too! With the wording thats translate to: a beautiful good life, starts with beautiful and good food. Can't argue with that!
You can do a comparison with the sketch and the actual look for the restaurant. It was pretty accurate. This place is located at Tanjong Bunga area, or more precisely near Concourse Area, just outskirt of T.A.R colleague area. I and my friend used to live around this area when we were in high school. The restaurant is actually a residential house converted. And just like visiting a friend's house, you need to ring a door bell before they let you in. I guess this is a security feature in Penang to prevent weird people from just entering the place.
Same as the previous place, this restaurant also has a no shoe allowed policy. The front door is glass like, and the owner has written and drawn all over it with vegetarian friendly wordings.
Above was what was written on the other side of the glass door, and I guess it helps answer a lot of question people ask vegetarian. Is it due to religion? How do you get your nutrients? What about other animal products? Etc. Surely anyone that has access to google already knew all these questions?
Inside the restaurant, everything is rather Scandinavian style. Nice clean wooden tables and chair. White walls with menu photo all around it. Me and my fried decided to take a high stool window seat overlooking the main road outside. It was a great choice as the below photos all turned out so much nicer as compared to if I were to take them just on a usual table.
We ordered fried rice and fried home-made tofu to share. I love anything soya based, so I have no problem being a vegetarian. The tofu was lovely, the rice was just normal. But to be able to seat there looking out the window was just awesome. We should have more shops like these!
We ordered a pot of fruit tea to share as well, and above was how it was served. The refill was free flow, so it was definitely worth it. It also came with slices of fruits on the side for you to nimble on. Needless to say, the glass cup and the wooden serving tray got a super 5 star like from me! Notice also the flag of Penang outside! Lovely memorable shot.
We also ordered a fruit jelly to share, and it was not too shabby either. Cost of it was around RM50 for two person. I just love it that Penang has all these wonderful chic cosy shops for us to explore in. And that they are vegetarian gives a good vibe that we are headed in the right direction. Keep it up Penang!
