March 5, 2007: Mortal Food

02/01/2013: Recently Soulfood has changed hands. While the menu's notwithstanding largely vegetarian, they bring introduced total dishes. This postal service likely doesn't reverberate the electrical flow incarnation.

Bebida, but a review yesteryear Dirty Flamingo had since revived my interest. The window gives a listing of one-half a dozen burger options (and chips!), together with then Michael together with I decided on our gild correct at that spot on the street earlier proceeding to house our gild at the counter. Once within nosotros realised that our options were much broader: a large display illustration houses salads, wraps, patties together with other dishes of the day, along alongside a few uncomplicated but delicious-looking cakes. Blackboards too hope $8 pizzas, freshly squeezed juices, lassis together with shakes, piece fridges together with shelves family bottled organic juices, beer together with a pocket-sized selection of wine. We stuck alongside our master choices but added a juice each: a Liver Kick (apple, lemon together with ginger) for me together with an Over the Hangover (orange together with apple) for Michael ($3.75 each). They arrived promptly, frothing alongside freshness.

hot, hip together with happening Vegie Bar. Before my prepare of idea progressed whatever further, it was de-railed yesteryear the arrival of our 'chips for one' ($5.50): a generous plate of chunky spud together with sugariness spud wedges alongside a herby mayonnaise, manifestly merely seconds out of the deep-fryer. Michael pounced on them every bit chop-chop every bit I did. Crisp, brightly seasoned together with a fleck greasy on the outside, steamy soft on the inside, satisfying all the agency through. They were gone earlier we'd fifty-fifty caught sight of our burgers.

However the burgers did become far inwards the fourth dimension that 1 would usually facial expression to hold off for dinner. As you lot tin halt see, they're around every bit tall every bit they are wide! Both featured lightly toasted pide-style rolls together with lots of fresh salad. Michael thoroughly enjoyed his tofu satay burger ($9.50). I constitute my tempeh slabs a fleck dry, but alone the corners that weren't too smothered yesteryear the mild, sugariness together with peanutty satay sauce. As I felt the weight of the chips accumulate inwards my stomach, I left a smallish tempeh slice together with merely polished off my saucy crunchy veges. I didn't bring the room or the volition to utter Michael into chai for two! There volition no dubiety survive other opportunities, because I thoroughly enjoyed the no-meat together with few-frills sense of Soul Food.
