• Hidden gem?

Sen Chay is a bit hidden, walking from Hakaniemi marketplace towards the bridge, left hand sided in a "back"yard. I would have never known about it if I did not pass the sign "vegan vegetarian smoothie" almost every day ;) So today I finally went there with a friend - and definitely it won't be the last time! While I had broccoli, paprika, fried tofu and nuts ("nut curry, if I remember correctly) my otherwise omni friend chose Pho soup. Mine was very tasty, not extra-ordinary, but especially for Finland, nicely spiced and made from fresh vegetables. My friend has quite high expectations of Pho soup and she also liked it :) My dish cost 9,50€, what might seem not too cheap, but for Finnish standards it is OK and the portion was just right, filling, but not too much. They also had a lunch list of three dishes, which were unsignificantly cheaper than the normal price (about 1€, if I remember correctly). The service was nice and the atmosphere cozy enough to stay for a while for chatting :) Recommendable!
