RM2 RESTAURANT

YESTERDAY ME AND MY FAMILY (INCLUDING MY UNCLE AND MY GRANDMOTHER), WENT AN EAT IN A VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT THAT COST ONLY RM2 FOR EVERY DISH. IS NOT EXACTLY A VEGETARIAN DAY BASED ON THE CHINESE CALENDER (WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE FIRST AND FIFTEEN FOR EVERY MONTH BASED ON THE CHINESE CALENDER) BUT MY UNCLE SUDDENLY HAVE THE CRAVING FOR THAT RESTAURANT AND MY GRANDMOM TAGGED ALONG COS SHE IS A STRICT VEGETARIAN (BUT A GOOD NON-VEGETARIAN NYONYA FOOD COOK) .

THE RM2 RESTAURANT IS A DONATION RESTAURANT WHERE HALF THE PROFIT IS DONATED TO CHARITY. U MOST PROBABLY BE THINKING THAT HOW CAN RM2 FOOD WORTH EATING? AS THE MATTER OF FACT, FOR A VEGETARIAN DISHES ONLY, THE FOOD IS EXTREMELY NICE!!! MY FAV IS THEIR CHEE CHEONG FAN (LONG PEARL FLOUR). UNLIKE THE STICKY SOLID CHEE CHEONG FAN IN THE CITY, THEIR 'FAN' IS VERY SMOOTH AND DOESNT STICK WITH EACH OTHER AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THEY ALSO PROVIDE AIR CONDITIONER AND FREE DRINKS (TEA AND WATER ONLY).

DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS RESTAURANT IS BUILD IN THE NAME OF BUDDHISTISM, OTHER RELIGIONS ALSO COME AND DINE IN THIS RESTAURANT. AS THE MATTER OF FACT, MY FATHER WAS INTRODUCED TO THIS RESTAURANT BY A CHRISTIAN. REASONS IS BECAUSE TO PLAY THEIR PART IN DONATION FOR THE POOR AND SICK.

THEY R FAMOUS FOR THEIR CURRY MEE BUT I HAD NEVER TRY IT BEFORE. I ONLY LOVE THEIR CHEE CHEONG FAN!! THE ONLY BAD THING IS THAT IS A VERY SMALL PORTION ON WHAT THEY SERVED. I GUESS WE EXPECT MUCH FOR A RM2 FOOD RITE? I HAVE TO EAT DOUBLE BOWL TO FILL MY HUNGER. AND THE PLACE IS ALWAYS PACK. I ONLY BEEN THERE LIKE 3 TIMES, AND ALL 3 TIMES ARE EXTREMELY PACK WITH PEOPLE.

MY DAD TOLD ME THAT AT ABOUT 3PM, THEY WILL CLOSE THEIR SHOP AND COOK THE FOOD FOR THE POOR FOR FREE. AS THE RESTAURANT IS LOCATED IN HAPPY GARDEN, KUALA LUMPUR, THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF POOR PEOPLE THERE. IS A SELF SERVICE SHOP AND PROCEDURE IN BUYING AND PAYING IS QUITE CONFUSING WHEN WE FIRST VISITED THE PLACE. I SORT OF HATED IT THE FIRST DAY BUT ONCE YOU GET HOW THE PLACE WORKS, YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE FOOD.

THE WORKERS THERE R ALSO FRIENDLY AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE EXTREMELY BUSY ALL THE TIME, THEY STILL CHAT AND TALK WITH THE CUSTOMER AND HELP THEM IF THEY ARE LOST IN ACTION (AS I SAID IT BEFORE, IS A VERY CONFUSING PROCEDURE IN BUYING AND PAYING FOR THE NEW COMERS).

ON THE FIRST DAY I TRIED THE ECONOMY RICE WHICH I DONT QUITE LIKE BY HONEST. IT JUST TASTE NORMAL BUT THE REST OF MY FAMILY LOVES IT. I OSO TOOK HALF PORTION OF WAN TAN MIN AND IT TASTE GOOD. THE SECOND DAY I ATE THE CURRY CHEE CHEONG FAN AND I LOVE IT IT REMINDS ME OF A CHEE CHONG FAN STORE IN IPOH WHERE THE STALL IS PLACED UNDER A TREE. I KNOW IT SOUNDD QUAINT BUT WHO SAID THAT ONLY AIR CONDITIONED RESTAURANT TASTE GOOD? AS THE MATTER OF FACT MOST HAWKER STALLS IN MELAKA, PENANG AND IPOH TASTE MUCH BETTER THAN SOME FANCY RESTAURANT WHERE PEOPLE PAY FOR THE ENVIROMENT AND NOT THE FOOD.
