Th started alongside about other trip to the S E suburbs for breakfast at Junior's Cafe - classic U.S. diner nutrient done generally vegetarian or vegan (there's meat on the menu, but nearly everything has a tempeh/tofu version).
We carve upward ii dishes: the HOG pile - grilled tofu, mushrooms in addition to onions scrambled alongside spinach, served over herb in addition to onion breadstuff in addition to all swimming inward gravy (US$8.50 AU$9.10) in addition to the sugariness corn in addition to greenish chilli white patato cakes were covered inward roasted corn in addition to fresh avocado, adding about colouring cloth to the grilled tempeh (US$8.50 AU$9.10). It was a ludicrous amount of nutrient again, but nosotros managed to run our means through it all - the herb breadstuff in addition to gravy combo was especially winning (if completely unhealthy).
Stuffed alongside food, nosotros explored SE Hawthorne for a dyad of hours, browsing the op-shops, volume shops in addition to gift shops in addition to weighing upward luggage infinite vs the excitement of vacation spending. Eventually nosotros worked upward plenty hunger to justify our trip to 1 of Portland's oddest must-do tourist experiences: Voodoo Doughnuts. We took Erik's advice in addition to went to their minute store (NE Davis) to avoid the massive queues of the downtown branch - the queue was definitely shorter, but the store was withal rammed alongside people the whole fourth dimension nosotros were there.
Voodoo has somehow perish a phenomenon - the stores are opened upward 24 hours a twenty-four hours in addition to are constantly busy, alongside streams of people gorging themselves or loading upward boxes of doughnuts to receive got domicile every bit souvenirs (we spotted a few of their striking pinkish boxes at the airdrome every bit nosotros flew out). They made their cry selling crazy concoctions - doughnuts glazed alongside NyQuil or flavoured alongside Pepto-Bismol and dotted alongside Tums. The FDA eventually set a halt to the pharmaceutical doughnuts, but the store was already famous in addition to they've continued to thrive yesteryear offering a baffling array of doughnuts to select from - there's toppings similar cap'n crunch, bacon, in addition to Oreos every bit good every bit to a greater extent than conventional options, loads of vegan doughnuts in addition to their signature voodoo doll doughnut, a chocolate coated piffling guy alongside a pretzel for stabbing in addition to a body total of gooey raspberry jam. We ordered a froot loop doughnut in addition to a vegan pumpkin doughnut alongside chocolate frosting to actually encompass the experience. It was fun, but I'm non certain I actually empathise the allure beyond the novelty value.
After a sugar-induced afternoon breakdown nosotros headed northward 1 time to a greater extent than to banking concern stand upward for out Back to Eden in addition to Salt in addition to Straw). The innovation was twofold: starting fourth dimension the eventide at the much-vaunted vegan pub The Bye in addition to Bye in addition to therefore wander the streets in addition to banking concern stand upward for out the party. Heartbreakingly though, The Bye in addition to Bye had picked Th nighttime to closed for 'maintenance', leaving me cranky in addition to hungry in addition to without a existent plan. After a flake of aimless wandering in addition to a few near-misses at nutrient carts (the hit of mac in addition to cheeses at The Cheese Cart nearly lured us in), I remembered reading about glowing reviews of The Bollywood Theater in addition to nosotros went to banking concern stand upward for it out.
With crowds of people inward the neighbourhood for Last Th at that spot was, unsurprisingly, a business of people streaming out the door. We joined it pessimistically, exclusively to marvel at how speedily the eatery was managing to shuffle people in, receive got their orders, teach them seated in addition to charge them upward alongside food. We were eating inside one-half an hr I'd guess.
And nosotros were eating well! The focus of the carte is Indian street food, therefore there's lots of piffling snacky dishes to select from. Cindy went alongside ii small-scale dishes - the incredible gobi manchurian (fried cauliflower florets alongside lemon, curry leaves in addition to a sweet/sour/spicy sauce, US$6.50 AU$7) in addition to a paneer kati curlicue (paneer, pickled onion in addition to chutney rolled inward paratha, US$6.50 AU$9.10). She's withal dreaming well-nigh that bread. I couldn't resist a big plate in addition to ordered the egg masala thali - boiled eggs inward a spicy love apple tree in addition to yoghurt curry, alongside saffron rice, sambar, dal, raita, greenish chutney in addition to paratha (US$12 AU$12.90). It was a ludicrously sized feast of amazing flavours. Our meals had us wishing nosotros could sample to a greater extent than of the carte (the spicy white patato dumpling burger in addition to the samosas both called out to me), but nosotros couldn't create it. We didn't swallow really vegan friendly meals hither in addition to the carte doesn't furnish whatever clear labelling, but the mesh assures me that there's a special vegan carte at the counter in addition to that the options are plentiful in addition to tasty.
After wandering through the street political party about to a greater extent than - intermission dancing, dodgy stalls, about cute piffling fine art galleries - nosotros constitute our means to dessert via about other trip to Salt in addition to Straw but a vivid vegan alternative, enhanced yesteryear fantabulous toppings.
Fully sated in addition to alongside darkness approaching nosotros made our means dorsum to the coach halt for home. The street political party ends really abruptly at 9:30 when the street is reopened to traffic, but the Prince tribute deed kicking out the jams inward the foodcart pod kept us rocking until it was fourth dimension to depart.
