| - TL;DR Perfectly seasoned vegan comfort food: if I was asked to describe the restaurant's food in 5 words. It's homey, it's welcoming, it's unique, unexpectingly flavourful, and delicious! Please come here!!!
It was my first time here and because it seemed like a neighbourhood restaurant with the cashier cosily talking to his customers, I felt a little shy. But no worries, the cashier's smile is very welcoming and calming.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
After deciding on the Special because I've seen from other reviewers that it's got a bit of everything, I noticed that the first thing he did after I paid was that he washed his hands!
!!! By the way, they have an open kitchen so they're very KEEN ON CLEANLINESS !!!
I was super impatient to try the food because I took it for takeout, I scuttled out and began eating in the car. Opening up the box of food the fragrance was mouthwatering!
Let's talk: The Chef's Special (Pong Special) 5/5
*PLEASE REFER TO PHOTOS*
It was like a treasure box! You got your rice and beans at the bottom, plantains, chickpeas, collard greens, sweet potato, squash, okra, tofu (two ways?), freshly cut avocado, and I think a potato cake (if not, then it might be a rice cake but I highly doubt)! The variety was a joy ride and it makes my mouth water while writing this review! How many more exclamation marks can I put?!?!?
*Also came with a water!
The vegan food here makes me very happy and for the $15+TX I paid, well worth it. Even better than the sushi burrito food trend going on downtown which comes in at the same price! Not only is it super healthy and super delicious, it leaves your stomach super stuffed!
I'd have to come back and interview the team about how the food was prepared because I wouldn't want to describe their food incorrectly... and also give me an excuse to come back and eat more yummy food!
Thanks for having me and I'm looking forward to coming back next time!
