Why it matters
Why SUPE Vegan is worth your time
Tempeh and soy-based plates are a practical protein option for vegans in a city where stock, fish sauce and shrimp paste appear in so many dishes. A kitchen that is labelled vegan is rare outside the specialist cafes, and the older heritage district is where several of them sit.
The menu blends Japanese and Malaysian ideas, so it suits mixed groups where younger travellers want something familiar and older ones want rice and a mild curry. It is a lunch to plan around, not a late-night stop.

How to experience it
Pick the session that suits you. The guide lists service from 11am to 5pm and again from 5pm to 8pm, so a late lunch can fall between sessions. Phone or check online first if you are travelling with older relatives who prefer a fixed time.
The dishes named are curry tempeh, tempeh fried rice and yasai fried ramen, plus sushi such as a Climate Maki and Spices Inari. Order one rice dish and one noodle dish and share, because tempeh is filling and portions are easy to split.
The restaurant is close to the Acheh Street mosque and the clan houses, so a short heritage walk before or after the meal works. Stay on shaded streets and keep water with you.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Check the Tuesday closing and the afternoon break
