Have you ever heard of Fortune Bags? Have you ever had Fortune Bags?
Today I experienced them for my first time!
They were actually pretty tasty. Once you got around the look of the bag. The restaurant was out of dumplings so we needed to try something and these looked similar but had nothing of the same taste or consistency of a dumpling. Still not a bad substitute choice!
I experienced my first true all vegetarian, meat what-so-ever restaurant for lunch today. Sure a lot of restaurants here have vegetarian dishes and we actually do order mostly vegetables when eating, however most of these restaurants often cook the veggies in a sauce with ground pork - eggplant and green beans are 2 common dishes examples that often have meat in the sauce when they're prepared and served to you. This restaurant is strictly no meat at all. This means the meat dishes are either made with tofu, mushrooms, soy beans, a gluten mixture or a combination of these vegetarian options.
We ordered a few vegetable dishes - Vietnamese spring rolls, green beans, the fortune bags as well as some "meat" dishes.
Here is a picture of the sweet and sour pork:
This dish the pork was a combination of tofu and gluten in a sweet and sour sauce with pineapple and cucumbers. It was actually really tasty and you almost didn't know you weren't eating real pork.
Another dish we had were spicy chicken balls:
These were interesting, they had to be a mixture of mushrooms, tofu and gluten and they were deep fried so almost like the consistency of a chicken nugget at McDonald's. I thought were kind of gross - mainly because they tasted like the oil they were deep fried in rather than a chicken/spice flavor. But the other girls liked them!
It was definitely an interesting eating experience and it's crazy the consistency and likeness to meat that this restaurant can create.
