| - Sweet Lulu is fantastic. They have the cutest logo ever, a really clean and cohesive setup, and a perfect menu. The option to customize your meal every time you come here means you will never have the same meal twice (unless you go a LOT).
Basically you pick your noodles/rice, sauce/soup, meat/tofu/veg, and spices + extras. They really accommodate vegetarian/vegan diets -- they'll ask you what products you're OK with and all the servers are really familiar with the food. They do takeout and your food is packed in those adorable little cartons with the metal handle -- they seem to be a lot more common in the States, I've only ever seen a couple Canadian places use them.
But I digress. The food is amazing. Sweet Lulu definitely has a Thai influence, but isn't an authentic Thai restaurant, because it doesn't need to be. The food stands alone without being labelled. And the best part about it is that you don't feel so guilty about inhaling plates of it. They use huge amounts of fresh vegetables in all their dishes, and everything just feels cleaner than a typical greasy Thai place, so you know you and your intestines won't be regretting it the next day.
To make my belly happy, I usually get the pad thai noodles with malay sauce and tofu and vegetables, and whatever spices I'm in the mood for. That's my tried-and-true, but my absolute favourite is the Laksa soup -- it's a sweet and spicy coconut broth that is seasoned to perfection and tastes great steaming hot. I think I just drooled.
Besides the food being cheap and delicious, the staff are always courteous and kind, and now they deliver right to your door! And it comes pretty fast. It's a dollar or two extra for delivery, but when it gets brutally cold outside, it's worth it. I used to call ahead and order takeout to pick up on my way home from work and it was always ready and waiting for me. I say go here, and go often. It's soooo good.
