| - I finally checked out Rawlicious! It's such a cute location with a homey vibe inside. Actually, it feels like you're in someone's house... and I sat out on their patio. I'm a vegan but not a raw vegan. I do enjoy experiencing raw food especially at specialty raw-restos. I can't make the dehydrated crackers and "breads" at home so I enjoy eating them at places like this.
The highlight of my four course meal was the special. It was curry crackers with cashew cheese and a mango current chutney! It was so good and I think they should just add this to the regular menu. I even over heard another table tell the waiter this.
The disappointment of my meal was the sushi rolls we had next. They didn't come with any of the ingredients it said were in it on the menu... no mushrooms, no avocado, and the worst part is there was like a teaspoon of WASABI in each piece! UGH. Wasabi was not mentioned anywhere in the description.We returned them and the waiter gave us the cold rolls instead. SO I guess that means I really had a five course meal! The cold rolls were pretty standard but the tangy peanut sauce they came with was delish. I could have eaten it all on it's own.
I also tried the zucchini bolognese with neatballs. It's a pretty large main course and I only ate about a 1/4 of it and took the rest home... to heat up in the microwave :/ I know! I am not a strict raw foodie so I didn't technically break MY rules. But I'm sure the staff at Rawlicious would be disappointed with me. There's just something wrong with eating really COLD "pasta". It's not palatable at all. The neatballs, however, are very good, warm or cold. I think they're made of almonds mostly but they have a meaty texture and great seasoning.
I also HAD to try dessert and so I took home a chocolate brownie with vanilla icing. It was $8 so I was pleased to see how big it was. Kind of like a piece of cake. But MUCH too rich and sweet. It was almost like fudge. Of course I ate it over the course of 2 days, but I wouldn't eat it again. I have to say, having tried some other raw desserts in the past, they're just not the same as baked desserts. I find they often have too much coconut or agave in them to make up for the lack of decadence.
Rawlicious is an experience and for anyone who is vegan or enjoys eating this kind of food every so often, this would be the place to go for sure. But I find the raw food really takes a toll on my tummy. It's hard to digest. I won't go into details but I had my share of problems that night! I also had a shit ton of energy and was like hyper sensitive to sounds... rather weird. That's the power of LIVE FOOD, I suppose. But maybe I just ate too much of it... perhaps I should scale back next time!
