Volunteering brings out the hungry beast in us Yelpers. So it was only natural for Jade W., Christie O., and I to venture off for lunch after doing some community service. I had been eating like a glutton over the past couple weeks and vegetarian sounded good to me.
Between the three of us, we got the crispy eggplant, fish curry, and mapo tofu. Still to this day, the one dish that stands out in my memory is the first dish. It was fantastic. I would have been happy with just eating this by itself. The "fish" in the curry was made of bean curd and seaweed to give it a fishy taste. I was initially put off by it because it felt like I was biting into a sponge. Once I got past the textural issues, it did not taste bad at all. I am curious about their other meat substitutes. Nowadays, imitation chicken and beef has come a long way.
Veggie House might not be the first place to come to mind when I think Chinatown, but it is not on the no go list. It does not hurt to go for lunch when each plate only costs $6.50. The specials are diverse and has something for everyone. Well, anyone who does not mind meat free meals.
