Cafe Salivation

This afternoon, I went out for lunch with my cousin who had just been blissfully wedded to her prince charming. She's a vegetarian and I feel adventurous and rather excited everytime we try out something exquisite because people commonly mistake vegan or vegetarian food to be bland, tasteless or simply a dour, boring experience. However, today was another surprise for not only my taste-buds but also my perception of this genre of gourmet.

It so happened that I was browsing through the Internet and a little skeptical about this quaint little cafe she was talking about the other day we had lunch together, so I went to search for the reviews of the food and ambience there. Much to my surprise, it was actually featured in many top 10 articles of the best vegetarian places locally. Also, I stumbled upon this app called THE ENTERTAINER, which conveniently provided valuable and affordable deals for this particular cafe.

So, now we go on to the food.
The meal was really special as it felt like I was actually savouring meaty succulent delights. The lasagna that we ordered was fragrant and not too greasy. The cheese was a perfect texture as the baked pasta was neither too tough but also not too overcooked. The filling in the lasagna felt like an explosion of flavours as the sudden exuberance was not too cloying or overwhelming, this amazing sensation actually simulated the wafting moisture of actual meat but without the guilt of slaughtering an actual fowl or poultry.
Next, the side dish was vegetable croquette. The initial bite was crunchy and crisp as the batter didn't feel thick or too tough to bite on. Normally, a popiah at the nearby coffeehouse or the standard potato croquette might be a little heavy because of the intensity of the flavoured ingredients. This dish had neither of that feel but the vegetables in the croquettes were refreshing and very versatile, like a myraid of flavours bursting altogether.
Truly an eye-opening experience and would definitely visit this place again in the future.
