I am in San Jose this week - working and doing some training. My friend Carmella took me to her new favorite restaurant, the Vegetarian House, for dinner last night. Oh my goodness! It was amazing! What a breath of fresh air to have a WHOLE MENU to peruse! Everything looked so delicious that I had a really hard time deciding!
We ordered the hummus with pita chips for an appetizer. It was smooth and creamy and spicy and delicious. They serve the meals family style and the portions were large so Carmella ordered the Kung Pao Tofu and I got the Mahalo Grill. I had them add some yam flour crescents to my Grill. They looked EXACTLY like shrimp! The texture was right too. However, even though they were good, they did NOT taste like shrimp! We got a large bowl of brown rice to share too. Once we had eaten all we could hold of that, we shared a piece of vegan chocolate cake. Wow. We ate, and ate, and ate . . . and then I brought all the leftovers to the hotel. I ate about half of those tonight and I see the rest in my future for lunch tomorrow! :) (I told you there were large portions.)
Thanks Carmella for an experience that I will remember for a long time!
