• 24 April 2015 lunch visit to Joy Veg Fruit Dining

This was the first time I visited this restaurant, which I found through Happy Cow. It's a new place which has been open for 6 months. Don't be fooled by the restaurant name; it isn't a raw food place and it doesn't sell fruit and veg groceries but rather, it's a clean, modern restaurant with a peaceful atmosphere. They focus on set menus which come with free tea but individual dishes can still be ordered. The menus change every month so the menu isn't on the website. My friend and I had the 4 course set menu for $28 (see photo). We were allowed to choose different options, so I sampled some dishes my friend ordered. There was only 1 non-vegan option on the set menu. 1st course option 1 - Golden Flake and Salad - delicious 2nd course - Mock shark fin soup - I thought this was plain but my friend enjoyed it 3rd course option 1 - Veggie Duck in two flavours - taro gluten duck and lettuce duck sandwich - I thought the duck flavour was mild and there was more taro than duck. I still enjoyed the dish. 3rd course option 5 - Egglant and tofu dish - eggplant was nice and soft with a really great sauce. 4th course option 1 - Mushroom Chinese pasta soup which is a savoury dish, small in size and was quite good. 4th course option 2 - Gingko barley dessert which was like a porridge which I really enjoyed. I'd definitely go back.
