This weekend we had friends over and ordered take out from Delicious Vegetarian Restaurant. Located on Pembina, it's a vegetarian (and vegan) only restaurant play on Chinese/ Vietnamese food. You can find your chop suey, sweet and sour 'pork' and 'chicken' chow mein but the 'meat' is a soy-based substitute similar in texture, look, and taste. Also, there is never a worry of beef or chicken stock ending up in your soup or fish oil/ sauce as part of a base of a dish. We have been eating there for years and despite the always eclectic owner, the food is usually never a disappointment. M. and I usually order the sweet and sour tofu, fried rice, chow mein. and beef and broccoli. This time we decided to switch it up slightly with:
Wonton soup
Sweet and sour tofu, Delicious Chow Mein, and brown rice.
As hard as I tried, I could not make this shot look pretty. There was also some eggplant in black bean sauce and spring rolls but I am not a fan of eggplant. Too bad because everyone else loved it!
M. and I really love eating there and it's a perfect place to go to or order from if you are eating with vegans as well. Something for everyone!
Remember to pay cash and to check out the menu.
For dessert I made a play on German Chocolate Cake and adapted it into a cupcake. I made a chocolate cupcake and then a coconut and pecan frosting. It turned out very well! I found the recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz' Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
To end the night, we all played a fantabulous game of Dice Town. All throughout the evening everyone randomly said Dice Town with a light twang.
Good eats, sweets and company.
