Environmentally friendly civic conscious Restoran Wei Yip

Yesterday night I had dinner at the Restoran Wei Yip again and got surprised. Yes, more than 1 pleasant surprises.

As mentioned, I got some gifts for eating at that restaurant on Christmas day. Yesterday, I received another one - an environmentally friendly reusable all cotton shopping bag from www.becomeasia.org, very handy for shopping and helping us to break that bad habit of using throwaway plastic bags.



The reusable cotton bag opened up:




It was a Saturday and I remembered that the very responsible Pakatan Rakyat Selangor state government had dedicated Saturday as the No Plastic Bag Day and it looks like Restoran Wei Yip has adopted the No Plastic Bag Day. Ah a civic conscious small restaurant is adopting CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).

Then I noticed an interesting light fixture:



I asked one of the owners, are those LED lights? I was told they are. Another environmentally friendly feature - low electricity consumption LED lights. How much? RM 60 plus (about USD$18). Wow, there are 18 of them in one fixture. That is 18x60 = RM 1080. Not only that, it seems the restaurant owner made the light fixture himself.

And the final surprise, we were served a small cup of Chinese tea each, no charge. And the cost of a plate of what seems to me to be fried chicken with lettuce for 2 and 2 bowls of rice plus 1 glass iced Chinese tea - RM10.90.
