Christmas 2021 Kuala Lumpur Plant-based Options
With a goal of doing better, we begin the list with several services providing plant-based meals for this year’s festive season.
Nourish Me
Nourish Me is an excellent option for those looking for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free Christmas meals. In particular, the nut loaf and bliss balls are incredibly delicious!
Picha Eats
Picha Eats has several sets specially curated for the year-end, but it’s the meat-free Mediterranean Garden of Delights (RM 165) that catches our eye. Filled with veggies, dips and falafels, it could be a meal on its own or a solid line-up of side salads for a larger feast.
Kind Kones
Kind Kones has plant-based desserts taken care of with their Be Merry Platter (RM 168.80 + RM 20 delivery). This fun concept encourages you to design your own pud with your choice of vegan ice cream and toppings.

Grazing Boards & Gift Boxes – Christmas 2021 Kuala Lumpur
Seems many need buttering up this festive season and several teams are ready to provide the spreads!
Butter But More
A lovely gift idea for your bread and butter loving friends – a ‘Secret Santa’ Basket (RM 248) by Butter But More! The handmade rattan basket includes six flavoured kinds of butter, artisanal bread, a pretty candle in a French crystal bowl, Christmas mug, plaid tablecloth, stainless steel butter knife, recipe cards, Christmas ornament, fairly lights, and fresh pine ferns and cones. The six flavoured butter spreads are The OG, Country Club, We call it Pizza, Butter but Butterscotch, Winnie the Pooh and Truffle Eden. My savoury preference leans towards the Country Club on a chewy slice of sourdough, while hubby’s sweet tooth thinks the Butter but Butterscotch on soft white bread is grand. * Get a RM 10 discount by using the code YUM10 until December 29, 2021. Message @ButterButMore or WhatsApp +6017 673 5541 for orders.
Ultime Boulangerie
Ultime Boulangerie, one of the most decadent bakeries in town, has several boxes of baked goodies and ala carte options for delivery. Think rainbow croissants, stollen, Christmas cookies and any number of high-carb high-deliciousness treats.

Beurre and Butter offers French gourmet gift boxes. The vision is to introduce the “Savoir-Vivre” – the know-how for living – to people residing in Malaysia. Each of Beurre and Butter’s boxes represents a moment that you can share with someone important to you!

They have recently added grazing platters to their repertoire. One that exudes a little fun and excitement is their Luca & Rufio platter. It includes select confectionery including Godiva chocolates, local artisanal goodies and imported cheeses.
