| - Last night I went to dinner with a friend before salsa dancing in Richmond Hill. After checking out all the vegetarian options in Kensington Market, we settled on King's Cafe.
The ambiance was peaceful with soft melodic music in the background. The interior was dim, spacious, and clean, but a tad boring. The menu was detailed, clear, and concise. Everything on the menu was vegan friendly, except for the ones that contains milk ingredients and eggs -but they're clearly marked for you, so there's no room for ordering something that's vegetarian, opposed to vegan. It look me awhile to figure out what I wanted for dinner because mostly everything was vegan and everything looked good.... I never thought there would be a downside to having too many options.
After a long time, I finally decided on the curry vermicelli -singapore style with faux meat. My friend ordered a veggie fried rice with faux ham and we shared an appetizer: soy fried fritters.
The fritters, accompanied by fried bell peppers, were fried, salty, but tasty and had a good texture. My vermicelli was yummy, light tasting, spicy (extra hot was tolerable), and very satisfying -I wish it had more veggies and had more sauce, but it was still good. My friend's fried rice was ok, the faux ham was interesting.
Overall, I really enjoyed this place and I look forward to coming back to try all the other vegan items on the menu!
