CGS – Cai Gen Xiang
I went to CGS for another vegetarian lunch today. For readers that missed my previous post on CGS , CGS or Cai Gen Xiang is an establishment that served only vegetarian delicacies. (and drinks of course) I had given this outlet 2 thumbs out in the previous review. It is an outlet that even non-vegetarians should have their hands on the food.
I had “Braised Sichuan Bean Curd with Rice” Rm3.80.
Braised Sichuan Bean Curd was sweet, salty and a bit spicy. For preserved vege enthusiast, this dish is highly recommended as it was braised with generous amount of preserved vege that unleashes the saltiness and its aroma.
Ahbi ordered the sweet and spicy chicken rice. Rm4.50
Dihran’s lunch set was Malay Style Fried Fish Rice. Rm5.30
CGS operates everyday except Wednesday. From 8.00 a.m. – 2.30 p.m. and continues in the evening from 5.30 p.m. – 9.30 p.m. Do notice that CGS will be operating on Wednesdays that fall on the 1st and 15th of the Chinese Calendar Month.

2008 : CGS Vegetarian Cafe.
CGS Vegetarian Cafe.
CGS is an vegetarian eating establishment located near Boulevard Shopping Mall, Miri. CGS chinese name Chai Gen Xiang (Vege Smell Nicer – direct translation from Mandarin). Next to these establishment is another vegetarian outlet. (Honey Vegetarian). Dhiren texted me this morning to invite me for a journey to town. And we decided to have vegetarian lunch together.
Ahbi came alone with us too. It was around lunch time and we were all hungry and craving for food so we decided to scout for outlets around town area. I went there for lunch this afternoon with Dhiren & Ahbi. We were amazed with thickness and the varieties of CGS’s menu book. The establishment has great deal of delicacies to choose from their menu. They serve noodle, rice, side dishes and even Western cuisine.
Dhiren requested for “San Se Fan” – Three Coloured Rice which comprises of 3 kinds of pork. Char Siu Pork, “Lu” pork (Stewed) and ham . Rm 4.30
I had “Hei Jiao Ya Fan” – Black Pepper Duck Rice. Rm 4.30
Ahbi are more to spicy food so the waitress recommended “Yue Nan Ji Fan” – Vietnamese Chicken Rice. Rm 5.30
We agreed that Ahbi’s rice set was the best of all sets that we ordered. The chicken meat tasted absolute delicious and trust me you would not be able to distinguish it from the real chicken meat from this vegetarian chicken.
Braised Tofu as our side order.
CGS’s braised tofu contains deep fried bean curd braised with black fungus, cabbage and a bit of cabbage in soy sauce. Rm 5.30
I really savoured the food in CGS Vegetarian Cafe. The price was reasonable too. They received two thumbs up from me and I definitely returning to CGS to try out more of their dishes. This is my second endeavour for vegetarian food and I’m beginning to love them.
