Japanese Vegan Dining @Mr Genki's



Inquisitive to try ‘Mock Meat/Faux meat,' which is anything that is a substitute of meat but 100% pure veg in its form.

And some just gross out on the thought of Faux Meat….’What???

So this Mock meats mainly consists of ingredients like Tofu, Mushroom, Aubergine, gluten – wheat preparations and soy protein or food processed using soy dough churned out from Soy beans.
 First of all I want to say it is lip-smacking. Faux-meat is chewy, succulent exactly the way your meat/chicken would taste; rather better!
A month ago;on a spree to find a different eatery, my hubby and I went out of the way. And foodies always need different, better and more varieties to tickle their taste-buds…  

Mr Genki was this Japanese restaurant serving Mock/faux-meat; the pure vegetarian Japanese restaurant. The restaurant was basic, very simple and quaint. As we entered we had to take off our shoes and get into one of their slippers that felt nice…like at home!

So then we went ahead sat of one of the Japanese style dining which is called ‘on-floor dining’, To begin with, we called for Vegan Chicken Teriyaki – what I’ve heard they make it with boiled soya bean/chick pea along with Potato starch – soy sauce – sesame seeds etc etc

Then we had one of the mouth-watering Sushis. Cooked with sticky rice, avocado, aubergine and cucumber rolled in nori sheets and served with Wasabi sauce and soy sauce. The flavoring was killer, I could feel the trail of flavours on my mouth, some wasabi, some soy sauce and some vinegar.

 I am really scared of Wasabi sauce, a little more and it can stir the daylights out of you!
 Towards the end we called for main course, which was the typical style Japanese main course. A bowl of rice, Miso soup (typical Japanese-style soup) served with silken Tofu( Slighter more softer Tofu than original)  and grilled Shitake mushroom served with Barbecue sauce



                The Teriyaki Chicken A.K.A Veg Terayaki
The Main course with rice- miso soup etc
Pleasantly satisfying, it’s good for a Vegan and experimental night out, but not some place I would regularly visit!

Affordable Sleeping Mask – CUCUMBER & ALOE @ MINIMONO BANGKOK

Image
The other day I went to MINIMONO, the affordable store in Bangkok with everything priced at 60 Baht under one roof. I walked in with an intention to buy the quirky yet cheap products, but I landed up with my eyes popped out at this sleeping mask priced at 80 baht. A sleeping mask this cheap? No one would risk their skin, but I am here to experiment and share my views. Also, a sleeping mask with Aloe Vera and Cucumber. What could really go wrong with both the healing ingredients. So firstly, this product has the same fragrance as your HERBAL FACIALS/CLEAN UPS in Indian beauty parlors gave you. Oh how I used to love it, that earthy smell. The texture – who are the kidding? It’s not a mask mask. It’s a light-textured cream that can be applied as desired. As in, you can mask it or play around with the consistency on your face with a handful of it. Since it is feature- light, not greasy and not thick as all these MASKS claim to be. Minimono Thailand Smooth textur...

Chamomile Tea, try it!

Image
This must be my first ever cup of chamomile tea. Usually my office pantry stocks a variety of Twinings teas, ranging from green tea, to chamomile to Lemon and more... I, being a complete green tea drinker, usually never land up trying any of the other varieties. But since I had bit of stomach upset this morning , it suddenly dawned on me, I need something milder and little more soothing than a green tea or a coffee. After having 3 cups of chamomile one after the other, I still feel so light on my stomach and so calm in my head. Though nothing like a kick from the morning coffee, I must say it has amazing soothing properties. Look for the…..   After – taste it leaves in your mouth, it reminds me somehow of  soaked and peeled almonds, that’s one reason I couldn’t stop drinking it.As a child I loved the almonds soaked overnight, I still do, but I am lazy and forgetful, so I need my mommy to do it :D Aiding Sleep They say chamomile is good...
