veggie conversation

veggie conversation

I had lunch with Bill who i hadn't seen in over a month. It was just a good time to catch up with my old housemate/good friend and so we decided to meet up at a vegetarian restaurant in Scarborough that my family actually used to go to quite often back in the day. We ate for almost 3 hours with food in our bowls.. just like good old times.. relationships and thesis talk.



Lotus Vegetarian restaurant has a lot of simple vegetarian dishes but also many of what i would call mock vegetarian dishes. They often imitate meat in both visual appearance, texture and taste. This is a stir fried dishe with mock eel (made with mushrooms) and sprouts.



We also ordered various dim sum dishes that included a dumpling made of bean stalk leaves, a fritter that i simply called a "football" since i was a kid, and eggplant/tofu stuffed with mock fish paste.



and of course mock chicken and mock salted fish fried rice. How do they get the flavours and texture so perfectly? i have no idea.. but it was damn good!

May has been to the vegetarian restaurant that my family goes to more often now, but i still need to take her here.
