Vegeteh Vegetarian Restaurant @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

Known for their Vegetarian Pan Mee, Vegeteh Restaurant is not new in mainland- it has strong presence in Butterworth and now, expanding to Bukit Mertajam. The branch at Bukit Mertajam just got started last October and has been serving the vegetarian community in town. The menu is casual and friendly- with many options suitable for all age range. Not only noodles but the place serves Western choices, classic stir fry meat-free dishes at unbeatable prices. Apart from the excellent food quality, we also found ourselves enjoying the food at a comfortable, air-conditioned space. You should definitely check out this place whether you are practicing plant-based diet.

Original Soup Pan Mee (Rm 7.80)

Bak Kut Teh Pan Mee (Rm 8.80)

Vegeteh Special Salad (Rm 9.80)

Dumplings (Rm 10.80)

Celery + Green Apple Juice (Rm 6.80)/ Celery + Orange Juice (Rm 6.80)

The Original Soup Pan Mee was our favorite of the day with al-dente noodles, reasonably seasoned clean-tasting broth and generous amount of greens and toppings. Judging by the look, we thought it would be bland but it was beautifully seasoned. The Bak Kut Teh Pan Mee was delicious too, with the right amount of herbaceous flavor and not too overpowering; the noodle type was basically similar but the broth was equally well-seasoned. For sharing, the Vegeteh Special Salad could be a good choice. There were 3 different types of home-made dressings and all of them were good. One of the few vegetarian restaurants that I am looking forward to another revisit.
