Qiao Wei Restaurant Butterworth, Malaysia (part of George Town/Penang Guide)

A vegetarian eatery located close to the "Nine Emperor God Temple" to serve the religious and health-conscious local populace. With a white-tiled floor and the walls bedecked with images of the Goddess of Mercy, curtains and tinted glass front walls add some class. Diners may choose from over 20 ready-cooked vegetable dishes for a selection of three along with a plate of rice. Highly recommended are the "prawns" and Tepanyaki roast Peking "duck." Bittergourd, honeyed ginseng and ginger-lemon grass teas are available for a refreshing alternative.
