This review is for Idealite at E-Gate, Penang island. The advertisement on roadside banners and the menu proclaim Idealite as the ideal vegetarian dinning with scientific promises of what certain vegetables can do for your body. So we went in without any expectations.
Idealite must...not forget that this is Penang island, a centre of great food. There are many, many epicures who have tried all sorts of vegetarian food in Penang, and Idealite disappoints. It is expensive even by Penang standards. That's all we have to say about Idealite. Looks great, sounds promising, but a let-down.
Penang vegetarian food should be cooked with ginger to enhance its flavors but there is not a trace of ginger; perhaps this is to cut costs? Bear in mind that ginger is scientifically good for health too, Idealite. The food can be described in 3 adjectives - bland, salty and spicy chilli taste. That's all.More
