the tofu hunter skip to main skip to sidebar pages tuesday january 27 2015 starbucks reserve roastery and tasting room i had the recent pleasure of attending a food blogger meet up at the new starbucks roastery on capital hill the roastery combines coffee roasting a legit slow coffee bar coffee sales merchandise light food space to hang out a tom douglas pizza restaurant and a bar all in a sprawling high ceilinged mega room decked out in reclaimed wood burlap copper leather and cement we were fed delicious fancy pizzas wood fired carrots salad and coconut cream pie bites from the tom douglas side the pizzas were as good as we ve come to demand in this fire roasted pizza town and included plenty of vegetarian options for modern toppings truffle cheese with mushrooms potato with rosemary buffalo mozzarella with fresh basil etc i did a poor job of photographing this meal the big bowl of salad was pretty much untouched by my fellow bloggers i took a huge plate and quickly understood what the others seemed to have known this was not a salad meant to be nibbled while standing and talking is it a trend these days to leave large lettuce leaves whole i ended up sitting on the floor in order to tackle this tasty but unwieldly pile the most interesting thing about the whole evening was a strange nagging that i was in a disneyland version of something cool i kept flip flopping between is this hip is this avant guard or is this a corporately manufactured vision of something hip and avant guard the answer became more clear to me when i noticed this it is a hip looking roaster with his leather brimmed cap light denim shirt dark jeans with a tidy cuff boots with a perfectly burnished toe and a food net over his little beard and then this another one i did a quick inventory and counted a half dozen or so identically clad gentleman some had dark glasses many had hair with jaunty swoops it was as if i had stumbled upon the character actors of our dear city s identity in the manufacture of it s approachable hipster these fine young ish men were indeed super friendly and knowledgeable starbucks has created a human experience accessory that allows even the most unhip to venture into a cool location without that pesky cooler than thou attitude that an indie hipster barrista one who is allowed to wear his own clothes might embody how convenient all in all the space did feel really pleasant especially on a dark winter evening there is no denying the fact that the space is loaded with beautiful design and materials lots of visual intrigue pneumatic pipes delivering coffee beans all over the building and what appears to be a very complete line up of boutique brewing options and fancy coffees offered in an interesting and accessible way that said i can t shake the vision of giddy a tourist coming in to experience real seattle and leaving out the gift shop posted by tofu hunter at 11 34 am 1 comment saturday january 17 2015 chandala thai columbia city has a new thai restaurant with a ton of promise for the vegetarians and vegans chandala thai is located in the old st dames location on mlk sad to see it go i was especially excited about the opening of chandala because its price point isn t quite into the fancy thai range that spice room is i recently had the absolute pleasure of ordering up a big dinner from chandala for a group of vegetarian friends chandala has organized their menu to include a vegetarian section and includes a description of the various types of vegetarianism that people choose strict ovo lacto etc and indicated ingredients on the menu that might conflict with these it turns out much of the menu can be made strict vegetarian otherwise known as vegan with the exception of the curries which unfortunately have a little shrimp paste already mixed into the curry paste we ordered a little of everything all vegan and made with organic tofu phad kee mao chili green beans ginger lovers garlic lovers cashew veggies swimming rama vegan peanut sauce and lab tofu and it was all fantastic the food was at once light but rich with flavor and spice and didn t cross into the generic overly oily territory that americanized thai food sometimes becomes the lab tofu in particular was an awesome delight the one item that was a little bit disappointing was the phad ba mee not vegan has egg noodles which i was hoping would be similar to ba mee hang the delicious spicy lime y peanut y herb heavy dish made out of thin egg noodles but instead it was more like standard chow mein i am so far out of the habit of blogging i didn t even take pictures but i m posting anyway because i want to sing the praises i have found my new favorite south end thai restaurant i hope it does well posted by tofu hunter at 2 29 pm no comments monday june 10 2013 come swimming dear seattle vegans and vegetarians considering a triathlon love swimming but hate chlorine want to exercise outside come take a class with seattle open water we offer individual sessions and 3 session group classes check it out www seattleopenwater com www facebook com seattleopenwater posted by tofu hunter at 2 55 pm 1 comment saturday march 16 2013 kedai makan kedai makan is the brick and mortar version of the popular malaysian food truck it is located on west capital hill and consists of a small take out only menu it is suggested that diners take their food a few doors down to montana bar and eat there there are two vegetarian items on the menu an appetizer and an entree and i tried both tauhu sumbat described as crisp firm roasted tofu spicy sweet chili sauce cucumber cilantro bean sprouts sesame this was served cold and was a little too sweet for my taste nasi goreng described as malaysian style fried rice cooked with kecap manis chili served with a runny fried egg and choice of tofu sprouts or roast pork i ordered mine without the egg and it was quite the delicious chewy fried intensely flavored delight mixed in with the rice were tofu greens herbs and chilis it was pretty awesome to have a full on delicious vegetarian entree available amidst what appear to be meat specialties my beef chowing dining companion was thrilled with his order kedai makan is open from 4pm til late and i d imagine a plate of this fried rice would taste mighty fine at closing time posted by tofu hunter at 9 08 pm no comments friday february 22 2013 hummingbird saloon the hummingbird saloon is a new bar in columbia city and i am pretty darn excited about its existence the bar is owned by the same southend locals who own full tilt ice cream and it is located right next door in the same transitioning parking lot a smidge south of the heart of columbia city the aim of the bar is to be a neighborhood hangout and the proprietors have made all kinds of good decisions to make it so cheap drinks good food and games first item of business the hummingbird has tasty stiff 6 well cocktails made with attention and care by a skilled and friendly bar tender second the hummingbird saloon is still working on building their menu but has chosen to go the route of high quality food in addition to a handful of salads there are currently at least two satisfying vegetarian options on the menu including a crumbly spicy savory scone with homemade marinara sauce for dipping can be made with a homemade meatball if you eat meat and a butter pie which is an intensely delicious flaky crust savory hand pie filled with a confetti of chopped veggies potatoes and butter of course there are meat pies as well and a vegan and gluten free option coming soon the hummingbird saloon has an in house baker who creates the baked goods and i found both of these to be dangerously easy to eat alongside my drink i m excited to see how the food menu continues to fill out third the hummingbird saloon has shuffleboard and pinball and vintage video games and a giant chess set there are a few additional things that i really appreciated about the hummingbird saloon including the fact that the owners are dedicated to keeping music volumes low enough for conversation there is a phone booth in which you can duck to get a little quiet to use your cell phone it is clearly owned by real people who are dedicated to the vision of the approachable neighborhood bar there is a good happy hour 2 50 wells the owners are aware of vegetarian vegan gluten free needs and are giving good options that satisfy those restrictions and it is in position to stretch the cool part of columbia city another block or so to the south i hope word spreads and folks are willing to venture a few paces south this is just the sort of hangout that the neighborhood has been missing posted by tofu hunter at 1 00 pm 2 comments labels american bar monday february 18 2013 northwest tofu northwest tofu is a dingy looking restaurant factory on jackson near the moonlight cafe i had long desired a trip to taste the fabled salt and pepper tofu but had been thwarted by the lunch oriented hours the stars recently aligned and i went in for a lunchtime feast the restaurant was small and packed with people the menu is loaded with tofu but has a relatively small number of vegetarian and vegan options my dining companion and i ordered vegetarian mapo tofu chinese broccoli and salt and pepper tofu the dishes came to our table in a massively time staggered way we received the broccoli first it was mediocre in the msg cornstarch oil sauce kind of way then came the mapo i appreciated the addition of the edamame and the tofu was silken and fresh but this dish was also mediocre rather than spicy or rich the sauce was excessively oily and laden with msg at first we attempted to nibble our first two dishes and save some appetite while we waited for the star to arrive unfortunately this took so long we had polished off the broccoli and the mapo by time it finally did this was a shame because the salt and pepper tofu was truly a delicious satisfying dish and i was too full to really enjoy it the salt and pepper tofu felt to me like a perfect vegetarian junk food like the vegetarian equivalent of fried chicken on the comfort food satisfaction scale the inside was custardy smooth and piping hot and the outside a light and perfectly fried crust flavored with salt and pepper if i were to visit nw tofu again it would be to order this dish i had high hopes for nw tofu and was a little disappointed to discover that most of the vegetarian options with the exception of the delicious salt and pepper tofu were somewhat mediocre posted by tofu hunter at 10 35 am no comments monday november 5 2012 el camión i had long heard about the mystical best taco truck in seattle taco truck in the home depot parking lot in the far north hinterland from my native perspective of seattle the truck is el camión and i am pleased to report that it was indeed fantastic if a taco truck can be judged by its salsas and it can imho el camión is in a very special league in addition to the usual roasty red and tomatillo green and creamy thin avocado sauce el camión has a handfull of other hard to describe but fantastically delicious homemade salsas all available on a take as much as you desire salsa bar yes i was hungry and never fully knowing how large a taco truck taco is going to be ordered four vegetarian tacos i was shocked at the heft of the food i received the hearty vegan tacos were covered in stewed black beans grilled veggies and pico de gayo i added a generous amount of salsa and pickled onions and found that two tacos made a filling meal el camión is totally going to be a requisite stop any time i find myself in that neck of the woods an internet search indicates that there are additional locations in sodo and ballard got to investigate posted by tofu hunter at 12 15 pm 3 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me tofu hunter vegetarian restaurant reviews around seattle and beyond i m a
