Thing 86: Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant
Sep. 8th, 2010 09:29 am86. Visit ten new restaurants
Current progress: 5/10
On Sunday evening,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
just_the_things and I visited her favorite place to eat, Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant in Vienna, Virginia. We started with the Fried "Chicken" (fried mushrooms and soy protein chunks, also known as notchicken) which came with a delicious not-ketchup dipping sauce. (But I'm not sure what it was. Maybe a type of cocktail sauce.)
For our main course, we both enjoyed Sweet'n'Sour Sensation, which was basically sweet'n'sour notchicken with pineapples, zucchini, and carrots with a side of brown rice. Now, I'm quite familiar with notmeat (and in fact believe that Morningstar Farms made some sort of pact with the Devil to make their products so meat-like), so I wasn't at all leery about trying it. And it was, as expected, quite tasty.
What did surprise me was that this vegetarian restaurant served mostly Asian dishes. Later I was surprised at my surprise (if that makes any sense) because a lot of Asian dishes are already vegetarian as is.
Anyway, this was fun and certainly somewhere I'd go again.
