| - I used to live on St. Denis and I loved ordering from Chu Chai on weekends, when I wanted a treat. As a student, I ate very plainly â" mostly baguettes and sandwich meats, eggs and toast, baked beans, cereal. Chu Chai was introduced to me by a beau at the time, and weâd get take out when we were both bogged down with work and at least treat our bellies to a taste of âthe good life.â Chu Chai is vegetarian, but it has amazing mock chicken, shrimp and beef made from soy products. The Thai flavours are exquisite, and my favourite was the hot&sour soup with shrimp and lemon grass. For veggies and vegans who crave meat once in a while but donât want to give up their practices, this is a good place for a pseudo-meat indulgence. Youâll probably even trick your tastebuds into thinking itâs meat. The mock chicken feels and even tastes exactly like chicken. Thereâs no dairy in the cooking except some egg. Itâs fairly pricey, so for us students it was a treat instead of a night out at the bar.
