🌱VEGAN FOOD ADVENTURES IN KUCHING - Roselyn's Gallery Cafe by Bahek🌱

Before coming to Kuching, I was reading all the reviews on HappyCow to find vegan-friendly places to eat near me.

I was super excited to see a listing on Bahe' Restaurant at Rossyln’s Gallery Cafe, where one reviewer said you could have vegan versions of Tempoyak Petai, Kerabu Midin, Bunga Kantan Fried Rice, Tepus with Kantan and Chilli, Terung Asam Soup, Dabai Fried Rice, Tapioca Leaves Fried Rice, Kasam Ensabi.

And this was a listing on 11 February 2024 so it was pretty recent.

But when I went there, there was only 1 vegetarian option on the menu which was a vegetarian rice bowl.

And then when I requested for vegan-friendly options, the lady said there weren't the ones that I mentioned.

So I showed her the photos from the HappyCow app, and she said I might be looking at Lepau.
I said No coz this is the exact same address of the cafe and I read out the address to her: 45, Jalan Main Bazaar, Kuching

She kept saying we could have the vegetarian rice bowl set but I don’t like sets as the portions of the food are very small.

In the end we managed to persuade her to offer us the ala carte single dish servings.
I think it really depends on who you get taking your orders… later the lady boss came up to check on us so maybe communication would have been much easier.

We had:
1. Kerabu Midin RM16.90
2. Terung Asam RM16.90
3. Plain Cassava Fried Rice RM4.00
4. Daun Ubi Tepus (size S) RM15.90
5. Nuba Laya RM4.00
6. Tempoyak Petai

The portion for the daun ubi tepus was very small, seemed a bit overpriced for RM15.90.
I’m glad that after that the dishes were bigger.

We enjoyed the food but the prices seemed to be on the high side. Maybe it’s because it’s on the Jalan Main Bazaar so it’s priced for tourists.

I would go back again if it’s easier to communicate with the staff on what we wanted to eat.
