It is of course not the reason of having no favourite veggie outlet(s) in Central, just that it is a common behavior for foodies to explore and leave their footprints in new ones - "new" in the sense that they haven't been to, not necessarily open lately. VeggieSF, the "SF" of which stands for San Francisco, is one in the oldest batch of residents at 11 Stanley Street where a multitude of eateries of various cuisines congregate.

It is of course not the reason of having no favourite veggie outlet(s) in Central, just that it is a common behavior for foodies to explore and leave their footprints in new ones - "new" in the sense that they haven't been to, not necessarily open lately. VeggieSF, the "SF" of which stands for San Francisco, is one in the oldest batch of residents at 11 Stanley Street where a multitude of eateries of various cuisines congregate.

Apparently in oldish and retro decor, the fancy colours in the backdrop bring you back to the 1950’s in the US. Just like any other upper floors in the building, once stepping out of the elevator, what you see is the whole of the dining area. Approximately holding 10 tables, they were surprisingly not full at 1pm on a weekday.

Putting a mix of old toys of reminiscence like those you see in old Hollywood films is perhaps unique and unrivalled for a veggie place, as most of them in town are having minimalistic interior and a farmhouse vibe with warm woods. However, flip side of the coin is that there is no greenery at all in your sight but what is being promoted is eating green, ie. without meat and seafood at least.

Among vintage ceiling and wall decors, I love the retro TV most, which was showing black and white movies - classic!

For the menu, I was shocked to see that it was no longer the latest version I saw on Openrice - the restaurant doesn't really assume the responsibility of updating menus here, so in fact I have no one to blame, given the downside of an open knowledge-based system. Lunch sets were no longer $78-108, but $118-168, what a huge increase. There are differences lying in between the two versions, but taking the same dish 'I AM FABULOUS" which is a veggie burger, price of which soars from $108 to $158. I am pretty sure that inflation out there isn't that harsh after all.

It isn't the matter of whether you can afford $150, just that I don't feel like doing so here for this supposingly casual lunch. Not particularly hungry or having cravings to satisfy, I prefer something light but "light combo" at $118 isn't appealing with just a salad (with ingredients unknown) and 2 pieces of toasts. Getting the a la carte menu, I ordered a starter which is a flatbread roll. The server left after taking note of my order. (My friend ordered the "Union Square" in the set lunch menu, but it isn't much of a focus here.)

After 5 minutes, the flatbread roll came. Another server came up to me and told me that there was in fact a minimum charge of $118 (the lowest price amongst lunch sets) and asked if I would order a drink to fulfill this requirement. I looked at my dish of flatbread roll in astonishment - c'mon, why don't you tell me so when I order this? Having my feedback, the server went asking for boss' advice. I was told that there is no next time for this, but c'mon... if this is an important rule, why don't you advice the customer when she intends to order just a starter without knowing the rule?

Avocado Chilli Salad Flatbread Roll x 2 $88

Avocado Chilli Salad Flatbread Roll (x 2)

Service disappoints, and so does its food. I had flatbread rolls at MANA and Home Eat to Live, and both of them don't produce loose wraps like this. Flatbread, to my understanding, varies with thickness but I haven't seen one being that kind of sheet-thin. With just a drizzle of paprika, the flatbread wasn't lightly charred, no wonder it took that little time to get it served.

It was around 8-inch long and was halved, showing chilli salad, pea roots and avocado cubes that were stuffed inside. The only thing to appreciate is perhaps the large and generous size of avocado inside, giving a buttery yet refreshing, subtle flavour while immersed in overpowering chilli flavour of salad. It wasn't really chilli, just like those you have in Thai restaurants - still appetite-friendly.

Problem of sending these to my mouth came, when I attempted to slice the roll into chunks. As the roll wasn't tightly wrapped at all and the flatbread was like your blanket, covering you up when you sleep, fillings easily went to one end and I ended up just slicing flatbread and leaving fillings on the plate.

With all these chaos and only average in taste, I wasn't really satisfied and regreted for bringing my friend here..

Soup of the Day

My friend ordered a lunch set, which came with a complimentary soup and drink. A simple veggie soup I would say, nothing wrong but nothing outstanding either. It somehow tasted like canned soup which was a bit powderly and without traces of potato or celery cubes that are common in this kind of simple, homey soup.

Lemon Ginger Tea

Lemon Ginger Tea

For drinks, a +$5 is charged for cold ones. I rarely see yogi tea in cold version, which fell within my expectation that it tasted way too light to serve it cold. The aroma of ginger is too mild, without being tingly on my tongue at all.

Union Square $148
Oven baked Italian Sweet Red Pepper Herbal Sauce with Pesto, assorted veggies over Spaghetti/rice

Given the tiny portion (with the shallow container) and watery sauce, this is certainly overpriced. The sauce seemed to look dense and thick without stirring it, but when mixing the whole dish, very little of the sauce clinged onto the spaghetti and was apparently too light to be called a "sauce".

Spaghetti wasn't al dente as well - a bit overdone and mushy, as you see the watery remains down at the bottom, probably coming out from the veggie like zucchini and cauliflower in the dish when being baked, and not treating pre-cooked spaghetti well for its moisture. I expected a tomato-based dominating flavour, but it came as a pretty weak one. Soggy spaghetti is the major failure from the disappointing portion which can't satiate a man's appetite.

What urges me for this quick review is mainly to update you guys on its lunch menu, which later came to my knowledge that this was launched already for half a year, but it seems that no one here mentioned. Veggie dishes here couldn't live up to my expectation, despite the fact that $118-168 is a normal price range of lunch sets in Central - do bear in mind that we pay for good food although we can afford. Even for the ambience, the decor could make this a good cafe but seats aren't that cosy to add any marks to our disappointment.

We cusomters do have tastebuds to sense hearty dishes, and I am not sure whether a second visit here is worth paying, as neither palate nor palette was satisfied.

Introducing "Union Square".

There are really simple ingredients for producing a popular dish such as this:-

1. Fresh and delicious veggies - check!

2. Al dente spaghetti - check!

3. Nice sauce - check! Unique selling point: that is a SWEET RED PEPPER sauce instead of the traditional tomato sauce. I have never thought sweet red pepper can taste so nice!

It is one of my favourites because it's my second time trying this exact dish at VeggieSF, and the quality still remains superb. The black olives here are so tasty that even a person who don't normally like having olives (hello there) cannot wait to devour all of them. I wonder what kind of speical methods are used to ease that stingy taste which olives normally have.

This dish may not look particularly pleasing at the first sight as the following dish, but it certainly is one of the best at the restaurant.

"Trip to Bali"

AM I IN BALI? May I just say it's a really sumptous and creative dish. Served on a huge green leaf, it added more exotic vibes to this dish. Its components include: fried tofu that successfully retains the soft, moist texture in its innermost bit; fried Indonesian 'dor dor' that resembles chicken - really tasty and chewy; 1/4 corn (too bad it isn't organic!); 1/4 banana; RICE TOPPED WITH COCONUT SAUCE; sweet cabbage (with some soy sauce maybe) mixed with nuts and cashew; tomato slices and cucumber slices. Above all, the amazing peanut dressing served in that small dish. (For friends who have food allergies, feel free to tell the staff so that they can make other arrangements for you

) Apparently you need to pay an extra $5 for that amazing goodie sauce.

The biggest highlight is that the rice tastes really smooth with the coconut sauce, and the 'fake chicken' is so crispy and matches really well with the peanut sauce.

Loking forward to introduce other dishes after my next visit. I noticed that they change their menu a bit - with the changes on soup, form the beatroot soup (lunch) to radish soup (dinner), and you can order a set for dinner that is $68: soup/dessert + drink. Had a chocolate lava cake with my sweetheart, which made it extra sweet. That VEGAN chocolate though. Marvellous!

Great ambience - really retro, and super funny little stickers at the lift area. Very clean. My favourite seat is just under the 24th(?) Avenue where you can overlook the whole place, of course, with my favourite person. Great & v friendly service. Veggiesf has earned its 'best western vegetarian' title in my heart. I cannot recommend this place enough for y'all out there.

喝著昨天 BEGGIE SF 送的YOGI TEA 寫食評......

是日小妹肚子不舒服不太想吃肉, 擾攘一輪,有人終於屈服遷就小妹吃西式素

得到食友Jay的指示,原來Veggie SF在陸羽對面的大廈,感覺modern,裝修不錯。
踏出升降機門,感覺截然不同,播放的是美國舊式音樂, 裝潢跟美國舊式小店無異。一看餐牌,有我喜歡的經典「可口可樂」式女郎,對此店的印象加分! 星期六的下午, 有本地夫婦(似乎老公是陪老婆來吃的,因為我看到老公的表情不太享受,哈哈!) 有法語溝通的亞洲小姐,有情侶,有姊妹們,一對對的細聲傾訴……人流不算多,就是喜歡與那世無爭的感覺。

有人在有點「被迫」的情況下,點了看似比較近乎葷食的漢堡包, I AM FABULOUS(頓時想起食友Jay,哈哈

) - 焗紅菜頭醬芝士漢堡包伴薯角及沙律,他只想要喝的,而我卻想喝點暖胃的湯,加 $40要了今日靚湯,精選飲品;而我,則點了UNION SQUARE - 芝士焗雜菜素粒粒千層麵,因為我估計這個較貼近他的口味,即使受不了紅菜頭,也可以吃我點這個嘛!侍應姐姐更說我倆點的是本店的Signature Dish呢!

先來今日靚湯羅宋湯, 先舀舀看足不足料, 有西芹,紅蘿蔔粒,薯仔,蕃茄,椰菜,白胡椒粒,月桂葉;嘗一口,不用牛肉都可以造出濃郁的味道,很好喝呢!

他點了Organic Teas,不喝熱的他,要求要冷的檸薑,原來是用Yogi Tea 茶包沖泡,怪不得淡淡的啦! 如果是我自己沖泡,一定會加一點點的蜜糖,甜甜地又潤喉

!

主食來了!先來的是小妹的「UNION SQUARE」,芝士下鋪了千層麵,粒粒蔬菜,有茄子粒,珍珠粟米,翠肉瓜粒……太好了!全部都是小妹喜愛的瓜菜

!不用肉醬,加上茄膏,粒粒瓜菜,配合溶掉芝士, 菠菜蓉,碟上的香料,一點也不寡!吃得津津有味~

第二個主食「I AM FABULOUS」, 神奇的芝士包著紅菜頭醬(真想知道怎樣弄?),有2片青瓜, 蕃茄,沙律醬,有人吃得口歪歪,我吃了 1/4個,覺得包烘得好,紅菜頭醬夾著青瓜,蕃茄,份外清新,反而覺得被那,沙律醬擾亂了味覺! 伴碟的有南瓜,薯角,幸好是烤的,因為小妹吃炸的太易喉痛了! 南瓜,薯角粉粉的,加了一點香料,不會奪去南瓜,薯角的味道,不錯

原本想再點CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE 的,但他不要,自己又不能完成一件,所以放棄了,唯有留待下次跟ICE CREAM一併再點。溫馨提示: 4-9PM提供WI-FI服務,要HEA要等人,除了星巴你,太平羊之外,大可以到小店HEA下

吃罷,他問我:「你又話想食得清淡D?你果個一D都唔清淡喎!」我笑了笑,心想自己自打嘴巴!
