As a Buddhist, I will make it a point to eat vegetarian food for the whole day every twice a month. However, there are not many vegetarian options out there. Hence when my friend introduced me to Greendot, I was more than happy to check them out.
Although I have tried several poke bowls, I am still quite surprise to find Vegetarian Salmon Poke Bowl on the menu. The Poke bowl from Greendot is made with 12 different ingredients: wasabi konnyaku salmon, shimeji mushrooms, tofu, soy floss, seaweed, pineapple, pickled Japanese cucumber, sweet dried cranberries, cashews and seasame seeds with a choice of brown rice or short-grain sushi rice.
I like how the Vegetarian Salmon Poke Bowl tasted almost like real ones with the wasabi konnyaku salmon and this totally altered my perception of how vegetarian food tastes like. With less than 500 kcal and is packed with nutrients such as dietary fibre, protein, vitamin C, vitamin B2 and manganese, this bowl of Vegetarian Salmon Poke Bowl ($9.90) made it such a guilt-free delicious treat that I wouldn’t mind having any day.
For starter I also ordered the Golden Mango Yoghurt Konnyaku ($7.90). The Mango Yoghurt sauce was delightful and paired perfectly with the crispy golden Konnyaku.
Another highlight for me is the Sweet & Sour Crispy Nuggets ($7.90) which are made from soy. The crispy nuggets tasted crunchy and worked well with the sweet and savoury sauce. Although the presentation of this dish doesn’t look very appealing, it tasted better than it looked. OH yes, it was very addictive too.
For those who like herbal dishes, I would highly recommended the Angelica Herbal Noodles ($7.90). The herbal taste was not too overwhelming yet thick enough to feel satisfying and wanting for more.
As eating vegetarian food is a regular affar for me, I am happy to discover another vegetarian restaurant that serves decent vegetarian food.
