Lee Yet Nyonya Meatless Cuisines (2 November 2020)
Lee Yet Nyonya Meatless Cuisines (GPS: 5.43236, 100.3129) is a vegetarian restaurant in Pulau Tikus, Penang. The restaurant opened on 1 November 2020. It occupies a 2-storey semi-detached townhouse along Bangkok Lane. The modest sized restaurant is beautifully decorated with Straits Chinese furniture and Nyonya Porcelain from its owner's collection. Lee Yet derives its name from the portmanteau of the names of its two partners, one of whom the fashion designer Richard Rivalee.
My visits to Lee Yet Nyonya Meatless Cuisines
I visited Lee Yet Nyonya Meatless Cuisines with my friends on the 2nd day that the restaurant opened for business. As I perused the menu, I was pleasantly surprised that the prices are quite reasonable and in keeping with market level. Two of my friends ordered the Green Curry Set (RM16.90) while one of them ordered the Nyonya Curry Mee (RM8.90). I settled for Black Pepper Chicken Chop (RM16.90).
Half way through our lunch, the owner Richard Rivalee arrived, and my friend introduced everybody to him. Richard took a seat with us and we got to know him a little better.

The Nyonya Curry Mee arrived first, and it looked good. You could have sworn those were real char siew!

In addition to the Nyonya Curry Mee, my friend also ordered the assorted Nyonya Kuih to share with the rest of us.

The next to arrive were the Green Curry Sets. These also look very appetizing.

As all my friends began enjoying their food, my order did not arrive. Oh, not again! This is happening quite frequently. We checked on the order, as we were in a rush, and eventually it was delivered to my table 15 minutes after my friends' orders arrived.

The Black Pepper Chicken Chop was excellent. You would have thought you were eating real chicken, and coming hot from the pan, it was absolutely crispy. I have no complains with regards this chicken chop, except that it took too long to arrive, something which Richard himself has apologized over, saying that the restaurant is still new and so this was one of the issues to be ironed out.
I look forward to coming back, perhaps over lunch, with my wife, as the restaurant only opens from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
