Had another wonderful lunchtime experience with the lunch special (salad or soup of the day + chef's special $19 incl tax). I brought my meat-loving friend here today for the first time and besides dodging a few of the vegetables (e.g. he doesn't like carrots) he was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and filling vegan food can be. Today's soup featured chunky butternut squash and carrot in a coconut milk based broth - if you like root vegetables this is the soup for you! Very warming, filling, and flavorful.
I really liked the chef's special entree - I asked to sub out the rice noodles with extra salad and zucchini noodles. The highlight were the crispy tofu rolls with veggies, taro mash, and tofu "sausages" (texture and color were spot on of that of real pork sausages!) in a pineapple sauce yum...
Service was amazing as usual - very frequent water refills and caring check-ups.
Lost 1 star for the value (quite expensive), but some days you just have to splurge on good food and here you can do it totally guilt-free ;)
