有意思的簡餐店 ～ 貓咪不吃魚

在網路上發現了這家很有意思的新簡餐店，名為“貓咪不吃魚”。。 可是貓咪不吃魚，那吃什麼呀？原來，就是吃菜。。 也就是說，這是一家素食簡餐店哦！ 被可愛的命名吸引，決定去捧場。^^ 餐廳的室內設計很鄉村風，讓人覺得很舒服，來這自己還是和朋友用餐或喝下午茶都很閒逸。餐廳主要是賣西式簡餐，但也有幾樣中式的菜，有套餐也可單點，相當不錯。於是，我們就點了一份番茄野菇意大利面和一份宮爆野菇飯套餐，還真不錯吃哦 ～ \^0^/

六月新發現～若荷蔬食火鍋 \^0^/

前陣子，老公為了讓我對素食覺得還精彩不膩，開始了我們的“每月新發現”節目，主要是在每一個月裡特地找一家我們都沒吃過的素食餐廳去冒險。。哈哈哈。。聽起來有點好笑，但是還蠻有意思的 =D 而這個月我們發現了這家真的很不錯的素食火鍋店！主要是吃到飽，而且限時兩小時內用完餐哦！本人是個超級愛喝湯的人，所以火鍋的湯底對我來說是最重要的。。而這家店正符合我的湯底要求；共有6種湯底供你挑，我的最佳選擇是南洋咖哩，麻辣和昆布（如圖），可是老闆有說他們最受歡迎的是藥膳哦。想不到，這家店的湯底是我吃過那麼多家火鍋店中最棒的，真的會讓你一碗又一碗的喝咧！唯一我覺得可惜的是，可選擇的鍋料還真的有點少，大多都是新鮮的蔬菜，很少素料，不然就會更完美了。。。

台北新莊素食 - 提亞田園美食館

今天本想找一家我們沒吃過的店家吃午餐。。 結果意外的來到新莊區一條小巷子的小小咖啡餐廳。 天氣真的熱到受不了，不想再走了，就在這不錯的素食館落腳。餐廳內沒有什麼特別的裝潢，只有簡單的座椅，但是菜單可還不錯，看起來主要是賣簡餐。我們點了份鰻魚飯和南洋咖哩飯，想說這兩樣最安全，不會難吃到哪裡去。結果，老闆端出來的盤子還讓我們傻了一下眼。一球的紫米飯旁擺著剛炒熱的青菜，苦瓜，馬鈴薯和重點的鰻魚，味道還真新鮮，也算可口 （應該不是因為我們肚子餓才覺得好因為我們當時真的沒很餓 ；P）。雖然只是單點，餐也附美味的味噌湯哦～

Sufood (舒果) ~ the new vegetarian concept

Our latest food adventure brought us to a newly opened (1 June 2011) vegetarian restaurant in 中壢! This interesting and new-style concept restaurant is a new venture by a local giant food empire and pride itself as the "new Milan vegetarian". The first notable feel when we walked in was the very modern and artistic decor which really made you feel welcome and comfortable. The service was fantastic (seems like the staff are all very well-trained) and environment very clean. They serve only set meals which was a bit on the downside cos you still gotta order in sets even if you are not that hungry. The food displays were carefully designed for every dish with detailed introductions by the server. Here's some images to tease your tastebuds... and I would certainly recommend foodies for a taste of palatable class! ^^
