These vegetarians are
on to something. No, not really. Well, they're on to two things: the
sweet and sour sensation and the sesame medallions to be exact. Honestly,
these are the only two dishes I've ever seen people order at this
joint. Luckily, they're both pretty tasty--for something made out
of gluten and soy protein. I'm still a little confused as to what
gluten is. As far as I can tell it's some sort of recycled newspaper
mulch mixed with the paste byproduct of dandelion photosynthesis and
wheat grass germination. The amazing thing is that if you drown it
in enough soy or sweet 'n sour sauce, it really tastes like something
ready for human consumption. The menu is basically Asian in flavor,
as is the decoration and felling of the place. In fact, there looks
to be a couple floor mats in the front where diners can squat and
fill themselves with sautéed curd. [MF] |
