Being a vegan in this country can be pretty challenging, considering that most Malaysian meals consist of everything and anything meat and dairy. But all hope is not lost, as vegan food establishments have been mushrooming nationwide, thanks to the growth of the vegan community. In fact, some vegan outlets here in the Klang Valley have become must-visits – even among non-vegans! So here are our picks of cafes serving vegan and plant-based fare that you simply HAVE to try out.
The Hungry Tapir
If you love all things local, like satay and roti jala with a side of curry chicken – but you can’t eat it because you’re vegan – then The Hungry Tapir is just for you. Serving up the most scrumptious local foods with a twist, The Hungry Tapir will make you feel satisfyingly full without a single meat dish. They also serve western dishes, such as burgers and pasta – so we’re pretty sure you’ll have a tough time getting up from the table considering how full you’ll be after dining at The Hungry Tapir.
