Hi,
Just wanted everybody to know that lunch was a big success last Saturday -
we went to Buddha's Delight in Chinatown - us being myself and my boyfriend,
Sandeep, Rupa, and Richard. It was a nice number for a lunch. We ordered three
main dishes to share among us, "beef" something or other, a "lobster" with
?garlic and onions, and some "combination/house special" dish. The lobster
thing was a little weird - a tough and crispy tofu or something or other
"shell" and a filling, with onions and garlic in a sauce. None of us really
cared for it. If you've never been to Buddha's Delight before, the menu will
kind of freak you out the first time you go, because they list everything
as beef or chicken or shrimp, etc. when it's all really tofu or gluten (?).
I almost wish that they wouldn't place such an emphasis on meat substitutes,
but it _is_ a vegetarian (though not totally vegan) restaurant and deserves
kudos for that. That's the short review.
Afterwards we went to a bakery and got rice ball desserts. I don't know what
they're really called. :)
Looking forward to more outings in the future!
It was nice meeting you, Rupa and Sandeep. (hope I spelled right) :)
Laura
