June 29, 2007: Enlightened Cuisine

Edit 25/04/2017: Enlightened Cuisine is right away rebranded as Vegie Kitchen.

White Lotus, this is a really mock meat sense (chicken, duck, beef, lamb together with a diverseness of seafoods) although in that place are also tofu-based together with vege-only dishes inwards the carte du jour as well. Meals are gratis of garlic, onions together with leek together with the eating seat strives to hold upward vegan-friendly. The meals are a dollar or ii to a greater extent than hither than at the restaurant's North Melbourne ally, but for those dollars you'll have a to a greater extent than meditative atmosphere: tables are large, of lacquered night wood, together with good spaced; decorations are similarly lean together with tasteful, together with pianoforte music tinkles on the stereo.

Mindful of the few hours that the fine art gallery remained open, nosotros reluctantly skipped the entrees together with soups, heading guide for the mains. For Michael, it was Kung Po Lamb: gluten, mushrooms, capsicum together with dried chillies inwards a sweet, tangy together with somewhat fiery sauce. I idea it was swell together with I tin solely assume that Michael did besides given how apace he finished it. I tried the roasted duck: its 'skin' was super-crispy, in all probability due to the low-cal piece of occupation of plum sauce (sweet, but non syrupy). I, too, managed to clear my plate! Some to a greater extent than veges would convey made a to a greater extent than well-rounded meal, but this component subdivision size didn't sit down heavily inwards my breadbasket together with nosotros comfortably bustled on to the master copy event.

Given its closer proximity to our home, we're to a greater extent than probable to construct repeat visits to the White Lotus than Enlightenment Cuisine. However, Enlightenment Cuisine does a every bit enjoyable business of Chinese mock meats together with I may good rely on this haven in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than when I'm hungry together with inwards the shadow of the casino.
