About

Liew Chai Vegetarian is a no-frills vegetarian buffet and menu spot located in a basement food court of a mall. It’s especially known for its affordable prices (around 8-10 MYR for a full plate) and the local-style dishes such as Mee Goreng, curries with mock meats, and fresh juices. The setting is practical, with wheelchair accessibility, but not atmospheric, often described as busy and brightly lit.
