Jaya Grocer - Penang

We visited multiple supermarkets in Georgetown, and found this to be the best one by far. While we did not try them all, we believe this one to be the best based on our experience. They offer a variety of vegan products such as vegan cheese (violini), chocolate, tofu, hummus, guacamole, plant-based milk and yogurt, and organic goods. We were thrilled to find items here that we had trouble finding in other supermarkets. The store is clean, the staff is friendly, and the lines are short, making for a pleasant shopping experience. Located in the Paragon Mall, it may not be in the city center but we combined our visit with a trip to nearby Buddhist temples, some shopping, and a drink at the mall. We visited in August 2022 and were very satisfied with our experience.

I absolutely loved the variety of vegan options at this restaurant! Even the simple dishes I often take for granted in the USA, like hummus, tortilla chips, and a selection of cold grains, were delicious. The location was perfect for me, as it was just around the corner from my Airbnb. I appreciated that it was situated in a suburb of the city, away from the touristy areas. I have updated my previous rating after dining here on September 16, 2022.
