So, you’ve seen the bake-off, you’ve seen the coffee, now on to my magical ‘vegan foods of Sydney’ show and tell.

Breakfast at Well Connected, Glebe. I met a friend there and was surprised to see a vegan tofu scramble on the menu (listed as a ‘healthy option’) – great in an omni venue.

The tofu scramble was HUGE – this pic doesn’t do justice to the size of the dish – and tasty, and filling, and insanely cheap at $9.50.

Lunch at Badde Manors, Glebe. A few doors down from Well Connected is Badde Manors, a pure vego place I’d heard mixed reviews about. And my experience was pretty meh. I had the capsicum and coriander fritters.

The serving was huge, cheap at $10.50 and incredibly bland. Shame, cos I loves me a good fritter.

Lunch at Mother Chu’s. A more successful lunch outing I had was at Mother Chu’s, which I gather is a bit of an institution in Sydney. I had been recommended the salt and pepper tofu but I wanted to try their mock so I had salt and pepper soy strips:

The dish was HUGE and seriously delicious. However, very expensive. The soy strips and rice cost me $23! It’s the priciest mock joint I have ever been in. That said, if I was lunching with someone else I would have got an extra rice and shared the soy strips, the dish was that big.

Snackage at Iku Wholefoods. Expensive! But quite good – wish we had this kind of fast food place in Melbourne.

Sweet potato and ginger millet ball (excellent fresh ginger kick – loved it!), and polenta slice. Both GF. Both surprisingly oily for a health food shop…

Vanilla and maple syrup friand. About which I say… WHO KNEW A FRIAND COULD BE SOOOO GOOD? This was probably the best thing I ate in Sydney. It was perfect.
