Simple Life Healthy Vegetarian Restaurant @ IOI Mall, Puchong

Health-conscious foodies can now rejoice! Simple Life Restaurant has been a favourite spot for healthy goers who believe in balanced diet that incorporates real food with low salt, low sugar, less oil, high fibre and no MSG. Its healthy and tasty meatless cuisine has proven to us that going healthy and vegan can be a delicious change of lifestyle!

Fresh Mixed Fruit Tea (新鲜水果茶)

Glancing through the beverages menu, I think having too much of coffee lately prompts me for a healthy change this time. Our jar of peach tea infused with pineapple, orange, passion fruit, watermelon and apple is great for sharing among 2 to 3 persons, but I can easily enjoy it all by myself because the citrusy taste is so natural, refreshing and sweet!

Seaweed Roll (紫菜卷)

Despite of the name of the restaurant, I realize that the dishes here may look simple but they take great effort to churn out a wide variety of nutrient-packed items. For instance, our ultra light seaweed roll is extra crunchy, and tastes excellent with an instant punch of wasabi mayonnaise sauce!

Take a look carefully at its filling. It is so compact and well-stuffed with thinly-shredded carrot and vegetables, but it is the soy floss that adds the extra crunchy to each bite! Surprisingly, it tastes better than any meat floss out there.

Mango Salad (芒果沙拉)

Next up is the beautifully-presented fresh mango salad with bright, creamy mango sauce and deep green, zesty sesame sauce. I remember vividly that this was the first dish I tried here many years ago and the house specialty sauces are something that I'd keep coming back for! It is an instant pick-me-up before we savour our main course. 

Organic Lei Cha (有机擂茶)

For the mains, first timers must try the house No. 1 Signature Lei Cha and its soup served in a teapot. Indeed, the first thought I have in mind when someone mentions Thunder Tea Rice is its pungent smell, but Simple Life serves something totally different that amazes me. 

The key to a gratifying bowl of lei cha lies not in the rice or condiments, but the bowl of mesmerizing green broth. Here the savoury broth is amazingly thick with almost paste-like consistency, lightly sweet and does not taste medicinal at all.

Unlike the usual variation, this is easily acceptable even for those who don't usually fancy Lei Cha.
It is definitely a nourishing, fibre-rich dish to go for!

It comes with organic beancurds, nuts and vegetables, both fresh and preserved.

Indeed an excellent boost of protein.

In fact, the simple bowl of Simple Life's signature multigrain rice, by itself, already wins my heart. Healthily packed with oat, barley, brown rice, rice bran, sesame and sunflower seeds, it is very aromatic and surprisingly not starchy at all. Not forgetting to mention that it is high in fibre and Vitamin B Complex.

Mushroom Pizza @ RM13.90

If you think Simple Life serves only Eastern dishes, then you're wrong because it offers quite a great selection of pasta, pizza and even sushi. Sitting on an extremely thin crisp-edged crust base, the application of mushroom and cheese is very generous. 

In case you're wondering, the pizza here is also prepared in a healthy manner. It wouldn't leave your finger greasy after eating, and the base is made of thin tortilla that yields lower calories. 

Organic Seven-Colored Beans (有机七色豆)

We are very stuffed by the time the dessert arrives, but we just can't resist the goodness of 7 types of organic beans being churned into a steaming hot bowl of sweet soup. There are kidney beans, red beans, green beans, soy beans, broad beans and more, just to name a few. Tastewise, it retains its naturally mild sweetness very well with no sugar added.

Speaking of the ambiance, we spend a good 2 hours dining and chatting under the perfectly tranquil and relaxing setting here. The modern interior adorned with warm hues and soft lighting adds coziness to the spacious outlet.

At Simple Life, we truly enjoy the new revolution of healthy eating without feeling guilty at all.

We will definitely be back for more of the 100% organic and natural food here. 

Verdict:

1. For those who want to try out healthy diet, here's the place to begin with. 

2. Simple Life is the perfect place for businessmen and family to catch a breather at any time of the day.
