Westgarth Book and Cooks Cafe

Late last week a new vegan cafe opened called Westgarth Books and Cooks Cafe. It's a bookstore with a few small tables in the front and one slightly larger one in the backroom. I asked on facebook who wanted to check it out and a small group of us were keen to check it out on Sunday including Cindy and Michael, Troy, Bec x 2 and Craig.  We sat at the largest table which usually sits 6 but they grabbed a few extra chairs so we could fit. It was a bit of a tight fit though surrounded by books.

As it has just opened, there was a few issues such as the menu not being completely available and issues with the timing of dishes for such a large group. There was quite a large gap between the first person and the last person getting their dishes. Toby and I were among the last ones to get our dishes but I didn't mind as they were apologetic, they had only opened a few days before and gave us complimentary cookies but more importantly they had gluten free waffles:

The waffles were fantastic, you couldn't tell they were gluten free (no cardboardy texture or weird flavor) and the large section of fruit allowed me to feel better about having dessert for breakfast but the star of the dish was the ice cream. Made from cashews, it was smooth, sweet and amazing. I could eat a massive bowl of it.


Toby very kindly ordered the gluten free pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce so we could share. I really enjoyed this too, it really was creamy and was served with what I suspect to be cashew cream, pine nuts, parsley, onions and mushrooms. I look forward to trying more dishes when the menu is fully available.

Veggie Kitchen- G/F Banquet 2

The famous JP and flux from vegan fitness visited Melbour recently which was a great excuse to visit Vegie Kitchen. Toby and I attended with about a dozen others including the uproar guys and a few Melbourne vegan strength guys. I've blogged about veggie kitchen a few times, once with the regular menu and once with the gf adaption, this is their new banquet. Once again they were able to provide g/f alternatives with all of the dishes. Many of the dishes were same as previous with a few new ones too.  Please excuse my phone photos. Since our last visit I also noticed that they have little v and g symbols on their menu to show what is vegan and gluten free.The banquet costs $28 and is pretty good value, look what I got:

Apple sprout soy milk, this has quite a strong flavour similar to asian style soy milk:

Lettuce delight, I think the only difference is that I get nuts instead of mock meat in mine:

This was probably my favourite course, I can't remeber what each one was called but each one was a different version of mock meat, I loved the one with pineapple but the fishball was also good and I don't even like mock fish.

This was probably the only dissapontment of the night, every else got mock meat with their rice and I had plain rice:

This was similar to the last banquet with tofu and veg covered in tofu skin and a healthy stew. The stew had all sorts of interesting things like gingko nuts and chinese red dates.

For dessert we had the option of a silken tofu red bean dessert or Tang Yuan (sweet rice sweet potato ball) with soy ice cream which I forgot to take a picture of. We had the tofu dessert which I enjoyed but I know it's a bit of an unusual dessert for people who haven't had it before.

Veggie Kitchen-Chinese New Year Banquet

 We celebrated Chinese New Year by going to Veggie Kitchen with Richmond Bec, Cindy and Michael, Steph and the veganator. Since going gluten free, I had pretty much ruled out eating at Chinese restaurants since most of the vegetarian dishes center around gluten. So I was happy to see on their website that they can make some gluten free dishes if you call ahead in advance and give them notice.

We had the special Chinese new year banquet for $28. It included some Taiwanese blossoming tea which had a mild jasmine flavour.

Then some lettuce delight, I got my own version of this, I think the only difference was that everyone else got some sort of shredded dried mock meat on top. It contained  tiny bits of tofu, ground nuts, and enoki mushrooms. I enjoyed the crunchy texture and flavour.  On the right you can also see the apple sprout soymilk, which had a homemade type texture and taste.

Next up was some lao sheng or yuesheng. The dish is supposed to bring good luck for the next year, it involves pouring sauce and everyone using their chopsticks together to stir it all together.  I wasn't sure about the mockmeat, so I gathered my share of everything else and put it in my bowl before everyone stirred. The other ingredients were: apple, wood ear mushrooms, cucumber, carrot, capsicum, and Toby thinks the stuff in the middle is Konjac. The sauce seemed to contain sesame oil, but I'm not sure what else. When mixed together though, the apple flavour definitely stands out.

Next up everyone got spring rolls and fried tofu. Instead of spring rolls I got my own version with tofu skin roll which had seaweed nicely rolled inside. I'm glad I didn't miss out on the deep fried action. The fried tofu was unlike everything I have eaten before it was super super dry and crunchy but was served with some soy sauce.

Here is a blurry pic of the inside of the tofu skin roll.

 Next we had pearl rice balls. These contained glutinous rice, tofu, celery and mushroom inside. These were a bit tricky to dip into the sauce but were delicious.

I also got my own version of special five element hot pot. Everyone got these unique looking hot pots which apparently tasted like mock meat whereas mine was like a wholesome vegie stew with included mushroom balls and tofu skin wrapped around pieces of vegie, mushroom and tofu. It was delicious and seemed a lot like the dish we had last time.

It was served with 'forbidden rice' which is actually black rice. Mine was the same except I didn't have the mock meat on top. By this stage I was super full, so Toby ended up finishing up my leftovers.

For dessert, we got to chose between the tang yuan or the tofu pudding, so we decided to have one of each and share with each other. I've never had tang yuan before and so was expecting the little balls to be crunchy, but instead they were soft and kind of gooey. They were made out of glutinous rice and sweet potato and covered with soy flour, although I don't think I would have guessed that sweet potato was involved. They were served with home made strawberry sauce and what I suspect to be so good ice cream. This was excellent!

I also loved the tofu pudding. Toby and I used to eat versions of this with red beans in Hong Kong, but I could see if you weren't used to cold tofu desserts it might be a bit weird.  Since it's basically cold silken tofu, with sweet syrup and red beans.

I'm still so surprised that they managed to do it, make Chinese food gluten free for me! I'm guessing since I haven't been sick that they didn't accidentally poison me with gluten either. It did mean that I got different versions of a few of the dishes but I didn't feel left out at all.

Overall we both loved our meal and thought it was good value since even Toby was full. I'm still very grateful that I could eat a Chinese banquet. You can read our last review here.

New Veg Cafe:Veggie Kitchen

On Sat night, Toby, Cindy and Michael and I all dined at the new Taiwanese style vegetarian restaurant 'Veggie Kitchen'. Now first up I should apologise to fellow coelics this does contain what I suspect to be a fair bit of gluten. However, they have announced on their facebook page that they have gluten free options. It's in a premise that used to be a Chinese restaurant which is handy:


We quickly decided to give the banquet a try for $28 since it contained almost all of the items on the menu. First up we were served sprout apple soy milk and 'lettuce delight'. The lettuce delight surpised me because I thought it looked like san choi bao but it tasted quite different. There was no sauce and the filling was dry but I enjoyed it, it contained enoki mushrooms and I forget what else. The soymilk tasted a little bit too much like tofu for my liking, but reminded me of authentic Asian style soymilk that I got in HongKong.

Next up we were served a spring roll, seaweed hand roll and on top of the cucumber was Konjac (Toby had to google the Chinese word to figure out what the English word was). The spring roll pastry was delicate and abolsutely delicious, and I enjoyed the 'ham' style mockmeat in the hand roll.
For mains we were given five elements veggie pot, which tasted like a healthy stew which Toby said had gingko nuts in it. I liked the mysterious mockmeat on top which appeared to be made with tofu sheet, seaweed and tofu.
Also braised tofu, baked pumpkin, Tawainesse stuffed capscium and vegetable cutlet. The baked pumpkin normally has cheese on it but they made it vegan by replacing the cheese with soy sauce. The stuffed capsicum had us perplexed about what was in it, which we all swore was some type of legume but were told it was enoki mushrooms. The vegetable cutlet was the one dish that I didn't enjoy because it was particularly 'fishy' and I don't like mock fish but Toby loved it.And red rice marinated wheat meat on 'forbidden rice'. I really enjoyed this crispy mockmeat. And the red rice brought back memories of all those cheap buddist vegetarian places that Toby used to take me to in HongKong. Most places should have red or brown rice!
And finally dessert, we got the option of tofu pudding with red bean paste or strawberry jelly. Cindy had the genius idea of ordering two of each so that we could taste both. I really enjoyed the tofu pudding which reminded me a lot of red bean soup except it was cold and had silken tofu in it. The strawberry jelly was extremely thick and Toby guessed that it might also be made with Konjac.


I was quite full by the end and handed Toby a small amount of leftovers for him to finish. I thought the banquet was great value for money and it felt a lot healthier compared to the regular Chinese vegetarian places yet still tasty. The service was great, with the staff announcing that everything was made on site including the tofu and even advising us of the supposed health benefits for some of the dishes. Toby and I will definitely be back.

Although, it will be interested to see what I can eat when I go back to being gluten free.

Best Weekend Ever Part I

Last Weekend was totally awesome.

It started on Thursday night. My friend Matt got some last minute free tickets to see LCD Soundsystem and took me with him. I was totally stoked because I wanted to see them but couldn't afford it. We drank Cooper's Lager cans and danced our arses off to Losing My Edge (check out this live video)/Get Innocuous/All My Friends in Festival Hall's Jurassic Park style enclosure:


Friday night, K and I went to Disco Beans again for more vegan gluten-free friendly Japanese Food. There were more choices on the menu than our last two visits. First thing that caught K's eyes was the vegan Double Decker Ice-cream Sundae Parfaits but unfortunately it was not gluten-free.

I picked the gluten-free/vegan version of Shoyu Ramen:

The soup base was authentically light and clear. There were plenty of seaweed, black sesames, snap peas, carrots, spring onions and tofu in the bowl. It tasted quite different from the Shoyu Ramen I had before, probably because they made it gluten-free for K (Shoyu means soy sauce in Japanese) and the noodles were replaced by rice noodles.

K ordered the Tofu Don (vegan and gluten-free):

Both of us loved the in-your-face flavour of the ginger sauce. It went very well with the tofu steak and Sushi rice. K normally would not eat salad greens but she ate lots of it because of the yummy Miso dressing.

Highlight of the dinner was the Strawberry Fields Forever cake (Vegan and gluten-free):

"Strawberry Fields Forever cake" was the best raw vegan cheesecake I've had. It was mainly made of cashews, coconut and strawberries. I loved the contrast of the delicate melt-in-the-mouth refreshing strawberry bits and the rich crumb crust.

Disco Beans Cafe and Art Space

My vegan friend from New Zealand is in town with his Swiss partner and his English/French speaking three-year-old daughter. A good excuse to eat out.

So K and I took them to Disco Beans Cafe and Art Space last night. The brightly coloured Japanese cafe has only been open for a week. It has a large communal table and some small tables. From what I remember, it was a sock shop and performance/gallery space.

The walls are covered with a colourful collage of Japanese and Chinese magazines

Be nice! We are new!

They do "home style Japanese food". You can pick from "Dream Bean Curry" (black bean pumpkin curry), Udon noodles, noodle soup, "Belly Plate", raw vegan strawberry frozen cheese cake (called "Strawberry Fields Forever"!!!) and a mochi sorta thing with aduki bean paste. You can choose the vegan or fishy version for most of their dishes. K was super excited that they could make most things gluten free.


The vegan rice noodle soup (gluten-free) is THE BOMB. I like the combination of black sesame, enoki mushroom, snap peas and seaweed. There are also some sliced tofu sheets, similar to the Inari sushi type, in the noodles. I couldn't pinpoint what is in the Shoyu style broth but it is very tasty and authentic.


The "Belly Plate" consisted of a mixture of rice, millet and quinoa, pan fried tofu with a miso-ish plum sauce, marinated mushrooms and a fresh salad with pickled cabbage.

The non-gluten-free version has a different sauce.

We all wanted to try the "Strawberry Fields Forever" but it was sold out. We decided to save room for CocoLoco and give the other desserts a miss.
