Four Colour Vermicelli Bowl at Veggie Garden

The main thing I love about eating at vegetarian restaurants, is being able to order dishes I would not be able to otherwise.

Such was the case for lunch today at Veggie Garden (10582 100 Street). I ordered a four colour bowl of vermicelli which featured "beef," "grilled lemongrass chicken," "shrimp," and spring rolls (which had "pork" in them).

I loved the different flavours and textures, even if they were not exactly like the real things. The soy sauce made a perfect replacement for fish sauce, which I never touch anyways. I especially liked the sweet, crunchy chicken and authentic looking shrimp.
