Simple Life Cafe, SS2 Mall

Put 5 hungry people, longing for healthy food, together for a Sunday brunch and this was where we ended up – Simple Life Café SS2 Mall. This is an organic café promoting a healthy way of eating. Well, they serve no meat and hence is suitable for vegetarians. (Please note that some dishes contain eggs)

The exterior of the restaurant is pleasing –with an all white concept and the deco certainly reminds me of Garden Lifestyle Café. As I walked in I couldn’t helo but feel a sense of calmness. Service is friendly and prompt.

As we sit down, we are given toe menu and we take our time to browse through the menu. We had the following food:-

This is called the mini steamboat. Priced at RM18.90 it can feed at least 2 very hungry adults. For the soup, we had a choice of burdock, miso or black bean. We chose burdock which is said to be able to treat gout, rheumatism, ulcers, acne, eczema, and psoriasis. I read somewhere that burdock cleanses the blood and was traditionally used to treat snake bites….anyway, a huge bowl was brought to us and in it I could see Chinese cabbage, 3 slices of pumpkin, yam, tofu, sweet corn, carrots and a variety of mushrooms ranging from shitake to enoki…. And if that isn’t enough to fill your tummy, this mini steamboat also comes with a bowl of multi grain rice. I really don’t know what is so ‘mini’ about this steamboat as the portion is huge…well, come to think of it…..the mini thing about it is perhaps the pot used to cook the wholesome bowl of goodness!

BBQ sauce & chillies

The 'mini' pot

This is miso ramen soup – the ramen was well cooked and I loved it. This bowl of ramen comes with wolfberries, sweet beancurd sheets , a braised egg, some sweet corn kennels and some wakame. Wakame – the seaweed – was slightly tough and that was the only thing that I disliked about this miso ramen soup.

Kids meal – we tried 2 – and I must say the kids meal had a generous portion so much so that it is sufficient for an adult. Both sets come with a slice of watermelon, some French fries, vegetarian nuggets, a bowl of soup and a cup of peach drink. The seaweed fried rice was fragrant whilst the tomato macaroni was topped with sufficient amounts of parmesan.

Brown rice nasi lemak – the fragrant brown rice had a light tint of coconut oil that made the rice so appealing. With lots of side dishes such as acar, crispy fried mushrooms, roasted peanuts rending tempeh and fried egg to go with the rice, I could easily devour this plate of nasi lemak without any sense of guilt!
