Among the items we tried include the Blackpepper Chicken, Supreme Carbonara and Salsa Cutlet. Everything was incredibly tasty, but there's a catch: none of the items contain any animal products. Xiang Yun is an entirely vegetarian restaurant, and it is at the forefront of helping meat lovers graduate into a vegetarian diet. At Xiang Yun, we got to enjoy vegetarian dishes that creatively mimics the texture of non-vegetarian items. Though I consider myself omnivorous, it was a lot of fun for me to enjoy these beautiful - and yes, tasty - vegetarian dishes. You can hardly tell the difference. And furthermore, you are enjoying a clearly healthy option here.
Our host was the proprietor, Mr EK Khor. In addition to the aforementioned items, we also had the Mushroom Soup and Golden Crunchy Mushroom. The Mushroom Soup was made without any milk, and yet it was so creamy. The Golden Crunchy Mushroom, I would not have guessed was mushroom. The outer layer was indeed crunchy, and could have passed for pieces of chicken chop.
Of all the items we tried, I think the one I liked the most was the Blackpepper Chicken. There's no real chicken here, of course, but the texture of the "fake" chicken was incredible. I simply loved it.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
