8 Things I Love and 1 Thing I Hate About My Vegan Gold Edition

8 Things I Love About My Vegan

1. The actual name of the restaurant is endearingly unclear.  My Vegan?  Vegan Gold?  My Vegan Gold?  My Vegan, Gold Edition?  The sign says one thing, the website another, Yelp yet another.  Teehee.
2. The brick-walled space is cheery and bright, casual enough to dine alone, fancy enough to sit with a friend.
3. They have the grace to offer non-fake-meat options on their Thai-leaning menu.  I've heard the "chicken" is great, but I'll stick with tofu.
4. The waitstaff is friendly and service is quick.
5. The portions are so large that I took home more than half of my green curry.



6. And said green curry was delicious:  fresh and bright, packed with veggies and squeaky fried tofu, served with nutty speckled-brown rice.  Super satisfying.
7. Tea comes in cylindrical metal infusers, on a brushed metal saucer.  How I imagine tea service would go in Blade Runner.

8. There's a giant gorgeous espresso machine behind the counter for made-to-order coffee drinks.  Admittedly, a cappuccino with no milk is like a nacho with no cheese to me, but I'd be willing to try the coconut milk version -- sounds delicious, actually.

I prefer my dinner without a side of evangelism, thanks.
