Malaysia Restaurants

1. Veggie Planet

Although not in the center of Malacca, local vegetarians make the short trip here for traditional Chinese, Nyonya, and Thai dishes free of meat, fish, and added MSG. Food is fresh and full of flavor, with the kitchen eschewing faux-meat dishes to better highlight the quality of its produce. Sip a cup of chrysanthemum tea as you pore over the menu, which includes highlights like fragrant Nyonya vegetable curry, house-made steamed tofu, cubes of fried tempeh, and Hoi Lok Feng, a smartly presented plate of diced vegetables, nuts, and seeds paired with a bowl of vegetable broth.
