I just got back (well, on Monday) from two weeks in Canada. I spent the first week in Vancouver, where I found some yummy things to eat. I had some time to kill on my first day before I could check into my hotel, so I walked to Kokomo in Chinatown and ate a Breaky Bowl, featuring tofu scramble, spicy tempeh crumble, roasted squash, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, rice and seeds. A very healthy and tasty start to the day (and a nice change from airplane food!).
The next day I planned a walk specifically to grab brunch at Edible Flours, a vegan bakery in Kitsilano.
So many vegan treats, both savoury and sweet, and several gluten free options. Not a great photo (below) because of the reflections, but you get the idea.
I had a spinach, tofu and artichoke roll (right) and a cinnamon roll (left) with a coffee: from memory, an oatmilk latte. All were delicious.
Then it was time for the conference which I had come to Vancouver to attend. Imagine my joy when I noticed that there was a hole-in-the-wall selling vegan puddings, just across the road from the conference venue!
The people at Vegan Pudding & Co are really onto something. I had a strawberry pudding, topped with whipped coconut cream and double-chocolate sauce. It was rich and creamy and I wish I could eat another one right now.
My last lunch in Vancouver was at Nemesis where I had the vegan version of the Raddest Cauli Hash.
My friend had the non-vegan version and she was jealous: I got avocado on top of mine and a really fresh pesto underneath. This dish was a really nice mixture of flavours, colours and textures.
