As stated earlier, we would give Botanical another chance, and here it is:

1) Vietnamese Salad – green apples, cucumber, cellophane noodles, jicama, shallots, bean sprouts, Thai basil and peanut dressing. This dish is gluten-free and contains nuts. (RM19.90)
Mien: Very refreshing. Loved the peanut-y-ness of this dish with the Thai basil. Would definitely order again!
Shiv: Reminiscent of a good Thai kerabu – it was fresh and crunchy. The ingredients were aplenty and nutritious. An intestine-healthy option, especially for the gluten-sensitive.
Kav: Very fresh and the nuts gave it that crunch that I love!!!
2) Portobello Mushroom Burger – served with French fries and side salad. (RM21.90)
Mien: Tasted like a meat burger! Really really good and meaty! Botanical knows how to turn carnivores into herbivores!
Shiv: Wow! An amazing vegetarian alternative to the old favourite, the Portobello patty was super juicy and flavourful, and the whole burger just oozed a succulent savoury kick. Will certainly give the conventional burger a run for its money.
Kav: You would never expect this of a vegetarian burger. It felt like I was eating a meat burger. The earthiness of the mushroom flavoured the burger perfectly. Favourite dish here!!!
3) Spinach & Ricotta Crepes Gratin – spinach, ricotta, herbs, buckwheat crepes, tomato & buffalo mozzarella gratin. (RM25.90)
Mien: Tasty... however, it was toooooo filling! Overwhelmingly cheese-y! One would taste very little of the other ingredients but a WHOLE load of cheese!
Shiv: Good, but in a sinfully-cheesy-artery-clogging way. Think lasagne meets parmigiana. The spinach-ricotta combo was genius, but the flavouring of the entire dish was overwhelmed by the cloying mozzarella-ricotta pairing. May have been wiser to share between more people.
Kav: First mouth, verdict - excellent but a little sweet.
Second mouth, verdict - okay but very sweet.
Third mouth, verdict - OMG CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE… so freaking cloying!!!
Fourth mouth, verdict - choking on cheese… somebody call 911!!!
Verdict: WOK ON!
PRICE: Reasonably priced for healthy, tasty food! Total = RM78.55 for 3 dishes.
AMBIENCE: Modern, fresh, clean and tastefully decorated with al fresco dining option available, albeit still in the middle of a mall.
SERVICE: Good. Food arrived promptly, and our waiter was pleasant and efficient.
FOOD: We gave them a second chance and we were impressed! We’ll be back to try out some of the other dishes from their extensive menu.
