Soup:
Asian Rice & Vegetable Congee! $8
Amazing flavour! Congee is a thicker soup made with calrose sticky rice in a broth with mushrooms, peas, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and five spice! It is soooo good, and Jenn recommends it! With an appetizer, it will definitely be a full meal. If you're having mains, one bowl can easily be split between 2 (although it's so good you might want leftovers...)
(Vegan. Contains sesame, soy and traces of gluten from the soy sauce. Dairy free!)
Appetizer:
Asian Vegetable Fritters! $13
Amazing flavour and texture! Grated zucchini and carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, grilled corn kernels, cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds, flour, and cornstarch all mixed together and formed into four fritters that are fried up until crunchy! Served with our homemade mango sweet and sour sauce to dip! Good for two to share!
(Contains sesame, soy, gluten, egg and corn. Vegetarian).
Drinks:
Chai $4.00
Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)
Coffee! $3.50
We have partnered with Rabbit Dash/Dizzy Bird here in town to serve you a cup of their delicious "Saffron Blend" - a medium-dark roast with nutty, syrupy hazelnut notes, and a bright aftertaste!
Cold Drinks:
Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3
Fuze Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Back by Popular Demand! Asian Teriyaki Chicken (or Tofu) Sandwich of DREAMS!!! $25/$22
Okay, this is awesome, and a lot of steps went into each element - Dev even made homemade baguettes for it (a very intricate process!) This very big & filling sandwich (it's basically a sub!) has chicken breast or tofu marinated in a homemade teriyaki sauce (soy sauce, green onions, honey, sugar, white pepper, turmeric, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar, chilies), sliced cucumbers, a DIVINE homemade peanut sauce mayo (sriracha, peanut butter, mayo, maggi soy sauce) and house-picked vegetables - carrots, daikon radish, red onions! Served with a side of homemade salted sweet potato chips! The inspiration for this was banh mi, but it’s a slightly different style! AMAZING.
(Contains gluten, sesame, soy, peanuts & egg. Dairy free! Vegetarian with the tofu version).
Dessert:
1 of 2: Orange Pistachio & Almond Cake! $10
The cake base is made with crushed pistachios and almonds, cardamom and freshly squeezed oranges. It has a butter cream icing made with fresh orange zest! So fresh! Big enough for 2.
(Contains almonds, gluten, dairy and eggs).
2 of 2: Chocolate Zucchini Cake $10
This is always popular! A very moist and rich chocolate cake with chocolate chips, grated zucchini and walnuts. The middle layer has chocolate pudding, and it has homemade whipped chocolate icing so good it could make you cry! Big enough for 2.
(Contains gluten, eggs, walnuts and dairy).
