Meatless Monday: Loving Hut, Cabramatta

Meatless Monday: Loving Hut, Cabramatta
| 6 Comments | No TrackBacks

Vegan/vegetarian Asian restaurants are an interesting breed. For some reason, they're mostly obsessed with replicating the texture and appearance of original meat dishes. Despite the concept of mock meats being utterly confusing, I actually love the taste of it all!... Continue reading Meatless Monday: Loving Hut, Cabramatta »

Mother Chu's Vegetarian Kitchen

Mother Chu's Vegetarian Kitchen
| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks

I've been working across the street from Mother Chu's Vegetarian Kitchen the last 9 months. So I jumped at the opportunity of finally lunching there when 2 workmates mentioned that they were planning on trying something new. The elderly Chinese have a respect for this place, and I can totally understand why. They serve delicious vegetarian alternatives and the Buddhist culture is truley brought out in the casual decor, genuine service and hearty menu. Catering for strict Buddhists means that there's no alcohol consumption on the premises. Sparkling juices are prepared in replacement of wine and beer. And tofu or soybean of all shapes and textures are served looking and sometimes even tasting like the meaty variation. Continue reading Mother Chu's Vegetarian Kitchen »
