素聞千里

Since I mentioned about 素聞千里 last time, might as well write a review about it too. Of all the vegetarian restaurants I've been to, I must say I do think this is my favourite one.

I think the most special thing about this vegetarian restaurant is they serve vegetarian sushi, aka fake sushi/sashimi. And it actually tastes really good, they make it so the texture is actually quite similar.

This is one of my favourite dishes that I always order when I go, Valcano Sushi.

They have these chewy pieces on the top, which is supposed to be fake squid. They add the spicy mayo sauce, mocking the spicy salmon sauce idea. Pretty good.

My brother tried their Uni sushi. Even though I'm not a fan of uni and knowing this is only fake uni, I still didn't try. But doesn't it look so real? The texture wasn't as soggy as normal uni though.

Another one of their sushi rolls. The salmon texture is quite similar to real salmon, which I found impressive.

As for lunch specials, just from looking at the portion it's already a lot more than what they give you at 天之雨素食料理, considering the price is similar too. 

This is the porkchop egg rice.

This dish was actually pretty good. They really tried to make it similar to the japanese porkchop egg rice dish. Looks good, tastes good.

If you order the Bento lunches, there's more variety. This is the fake black cod.

The cod tastes really good. It has the crispy yet soft texture. 

I tried their roasted pork (燒肉) before too, but can't find a picture of it in my album. Of course it can't be comparable to real roasted pork, but it still tasted special and different. They actually made it so there is a layer of the 'fat' in between the meat and the skin, but of course in this case you can eat the entire piece without having to pick out the fat since its all fake. XD

Food: Very Good

Service: Alright

Price: A bit above average compared to other vegetarian cuisines, but I think their food is worth the price.

Atmosphere/Decoration: Nothing special, but the furniture is still quite new. The restaurant has a lot of Buddha decoration I would say.

Overall: I would definitely recommend this place to those who are looking for a decent vegetarian restaurant. I tend to go there often when my mom is having her vegetarian days, and it's close to where I live.
