th oversized, beautiful butterflies hanging from the ceiling, and these little flowery looking doodads also hanging from the ceiling. I ordered the almond milk bubble tea, with only half the bubbles (too many bubbles, i.e. taro balls make Reena's tummy go funny), and it was perfect. Not too much almond flavor, not too sweet, not too heavy on the milk, and not too much ice! Just the way I like it.Now, this is not a vegetarian restaurant. They serve all the items that meatatarians love. But, the vegetarian salad rolls were to die for! Huge rolls, tightly wrapped with glass noodles, a little pineapple and green apple, purple and green cabbage, carrots, and some greasy, crispy, yummy tofu to give the whole roll a good crunch! The peanut sauce was great too. Lightly spicy, sweet, and not too heavy.
We also ordered the fried tofu in spicy lemongrass dish that was yum a licious! I'm sure it had a tonne of fat and calories, but I deserve to treat myself sometimes. Their tofu has clearly been frozen and rethawed, because it has that chewy, spongy texture, which I don't usually like, but I guess I do when it is deep fr
ied! When the tofu has this spongy texture, it also absorbs flavors really well. When bit into, you can taste an exposion of flavors coming out at you - sweet, spicy, lemongrassy goodness. It was actually a little too flavor packed for me, so adding a little rice to each forkful helps to take off that bite.Anyhow, if you are in the Ottawa area, check out Temptation Tea Shoppe for a nice lunch. Their website is currently not running for some reason, but here is a link to their menu, and another restaurant review from Ottawa Express.
Enjoy!
