While visiting Portland a few weeks back, I ended up checking out this spot called ‘Vege Thai‘. When I say that I’ve never had vegetarian food this incredible outside of moms kitchen, I completely mean it. I grew up in a semi-vegetarian household so I’ve witnessed the evolution of meat substitutes first hand. Boy have they came a long way! I won’t say that they’ve succeeded in matching the taste and consistency perfectly, but they’re pretty damn close. In the above shot is the Soy Beef and Vegetable dish, delicious. I ended up playing it somewhat safe and ordering the Soy Chicken Fried Rice (below). Not only was the food incredibly flavorful, the price point is reasonable and the service was immaculate and timely. This place is highly recommended for anyone living in the Portland, OR area, or anyone visiting.
