Seed Natural Food Cafe - Penang

Back to Penang reviews, and we are back in Georgetown, which is the vegetarian hub of the island.  Although vegetarian food can be found throughout the island, the most interesting veggie restaurants are all in Georgetown.  Seed Natural Cafe places an emphasis on serving super healthy food to the customers.  The issue with many healthy eateries is that the food can sometimes be seen as too bland - Let's find out how the food at Seed Cafe copes...

Here is a look at the menu.  Changes are often made on a daily basis.
This is the set lunch that I decided to review. 
The Appetizer consists of clear soup, a vinegar drink and salad.  You will not find excess salt, sugar or MSG in any of the food here.

The main course for the set meal was the Curry Mee.  I have to say, this was probably the worst curry mee that I tried throughout my entire Malaysia food journey.  The curry sauce/soup had literally no flavour at all.  It was tantamount to drinking water.  I am sure the up side of this lack of flavour is the dish is much healthier overall.  For myself though, I need some flavour in the dish.  The dish did have a nice abundance of other ingredients, such as tofu, long beans and cabbage.  I need flavour, flavour flavour...

The last aspect of this meal is the Dessert, which on this particular occasion was soft tofu in a sweet gula melaka sauce.  Personally I didn't find that the gula melaka was very fragrant, and thus didn't give the dessert the life that it needed.  Tofu is a blank canvas, so the ingredients that are used together with the tofu are very important.  For those who enjoy simple tastes, you may be able to appreciate this dessert.

5/10


Conclusion - If you're looking for a healthy meal, then definitely Seed Cafe is a great place to go.  It is clear that great efforts have been made to reduce the amount of salt, sugar, oil and other harmful substances in the food.  However, if you're looking for good tasting food, this is probably a place you will want to avoid.
