I confess. I am a Flexitarian (semi-vegetarian) and observe a vegetarian diet but occasionally eat meat (only fish to be exact). Last week, an old friend Meow Kheng treated my boy and me to a vegetarian lunch at Lily's kitchen to express her appreciation for recommending her for two jobs in the last 14 years. The food there is truly authentic, delicious and reasonably priced so my family headed there this evening for our dinner, not that I had much appetite because of Mishy's death. Located at Madras Lane, the restaurant was jam packed with customers and we were lucky to get a table.

My boy ordered the baked cheesy pasta again and promptly declared that since it was a small portion, there would be no free tasting :-) and of course we objected and he complied most obediently.

I convinced my husband to try the nasi bryani. Earlier, I had a tough time convincing him to go for a vegetarian dinner. The nasi bryani was simply superb - authentic taste and even the vegetarian fried fish looked so real!

My pita bread and rendang was truly awesome. The bread was just the right texture with freshly and evenly cut cucumber, carrots and lettuce and the curry rendang was really so yummy!

For side orders, I had ordered a half serving of satay which was again a memorable dish.
The drinks were very thirst-quenching too. I had honey sea coconut while Nick had Lo Han Kuo and my better half had iced lemon tea. The whole meal cost us less than 33RM and it was a nutritional and delicious meal. If you live in Penang, do go and try Lily's Kitchen!

After dinner, we headed for Chew Teng Yeang's Pet Shop along Burmah Road. While I was looking at the hamsters, they were choosing more fish for the aquarium. I felt that since I was still in mourning, it would be so wrong to buy a new hamster.. I must allow myself to grieve and to get a new pet only when I am ready.
In the mean time, have a lovely evening.
