Dining Bowl

When I decided to be a vegetarian last year, I found it almost impossible to dine out. I usually end up ordering side dishes like tofu or vegetables when dining out.
However when I heard about this place, I was doubtful and intrigued, doubtful as in the taste wise of this place.
Dining Bowl proved me wrong when they served dishes that packed flavor and did not skimp on quality. For instance, the usage of brown rice in almost all their dishes showed that these people cater for the vegetarians of Kuala Lumpur.
The vegetarian nasi lemak was rich in flavor despite not using the normal coconut infused white rice and paired well with the vegetarian «sambal» paste which wasn’t too spicy.
Unlike other vegetarian places that rely on preservatives and artificial flavoring to provide flavor, dining bowl uses natural ingredients like soy milk and oats to produce «mushroom soup» which is full of natural flavors.
Sadly, I didn’t enjoy the usage of «fake meat» in their rice dishes, if only they offered vegetables as side dishes then I would be a happy vegetarian goat.

A vegetarian restaurant that serves tasty food is hard to come by. Many vegetarian restaurants seem to be under the impression that the more bland your food is the healthier it is. I for one disagree with that notion and congratulate Dining Bowl for not being sucked into that whole concept. Here you will find well cooked vegetarian dishes which are very flavouful.
For starters there is their mushroom soup which is thickened with soy milk and oats. This may sound like an awful combination but they’ve managed to get it right. They also have nasi lemak cooked with brown rice. In fact all their rice dishes are cooked with brown rice. Their menu is largely composed of rice with stir fried vegetables and fake meat or noodles. There are also western dishes like pasta and an all day breakfast that I truly recommend (best scrambled eggs ever)
