Po Ling Temple is a place for vegetarians to get a proper meal, as it serves various types of vegetarian dishes, including meal-inspired fare. The vegetarian food court at Po Ling Temple has been running since 19941.

According to a Malay Mail article, Po Ling Temple dates back to the 1880s, and is the first temple in Kuala Lumpur to have been built of bricks and tiles even though if you look at it today, you would be mistaken to think that the temple is new, as much of the original have been restored and replaced. This is due largely to the renovation carried out between 2000 and 2005, following cracks that appeared in 1994. It was known as Kun Yam Thong, but was now renamed Dharma Sagely Realm Monastery.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
