Similar to 'Life cafe' at Soho, serving vegan/organic foods with back-to-the-basic simple raw decor, yet the menu was amazingly rich with detailed explanation for vegan advocates against our carnivores, no hard feeling, one can sense the dedicated effort in creating the menu, in between the keleidoscopic offers was accompanied by the ingredients used, some were never heard like 'Bonsoy'Have been starving the entire morning after a short ferry ride around 20 mins, this little rest. was located at
Have been starving the entire morning after a short ferry ride around 20 mins, this little rest. was located at the end of the main street, easy to find.
Picked 3 drinks to start with,
Bookworm shake
Boasted using an alternative to chocolate but tastes mainly papaya and banana
Grace shake
A blend of various fruits, tastes mainly banana with its greenish look, with a little surprise of finding little bits of dates underneath
Yanno Chino
Though tempted to get a coffee, the drink should have lived up the theme. Surprisingly good with the bitter taste of coffee in its soy-milk base.
Scrambled tofu on toast
A greedy pick in which besides scrambled tofu, the toast was topped with mushroom, onion and turmeric bits, credits go to turmeric that helps bring the aroma out of the plain wheat toast. Should have picked mushroom toast in which a much juicy sensation would be expected, next time then =)
goat cheese salad
A HUGE plate of veggie with soft yummy goat cheese and loads of pine nuts sprinkled on it, the courgette was nicely sauteed with balsamic dressing, a drink is a must to accompany such a sauce-y dish.
Tofu burger
An alternative to egg florentine which's only a/v on weekends, the whole wheat burger was toasted to its crispiness, stuffed with fried tofu patty, pretty dry; good it's got salad and potato wedges aside with a spicy sour thai sauce, a simple dip of it regains the freshness of the dish.
Occasional visit would be nice to detox your body, still I would like to take at least some meat for the day =P
