Tinh Tam Trai Asian Vegetarian Healthy Meal
There are apparently days when some who follow Buddhist faith restrict to vegetarian meals. And lucky for our guest, Tinh Tam Trai happened to be a vegetarian restaurant serving Asian noodle soups conveniently located right by Vaughan Mills. There's not many such places around which probably helps to explain their positive reviews. Best way I can characterize this place is QUIRKY!
Located in a busy plaza, it's hard to miss their bright yellow signage. Upon entering, the first thing that I noticed was the decor, or the surprising lack thereof... still the place was quite packed at lunchtime. Staff was slow to offer us the highchair so we helped ourselves to it. Their affordable menu included a variety of dishes and drinks similar to other Vietnamese restaurants but with a vegetarian twist.
The house-special Imitation Duck Egg Noodle Soup was topped with a heaping portion of soy-based mock meat w/ mushroom filling. Smooth herbal taste and soft egg noodles. Similarly Imitation Wonton Egg Noodle Soup hit the mark except the gluten fishcakes & side of fried soy wonton balls were a bit much to finish. Bun Hue Chay, their version of the hot & spicy Hue-style noodle soup, was well-seasoned too. We also tried sticky rice filled with mung beans which tasted like salty mochi balls. Fine for vegetarian, but if you're a carnivore, it's quite a glutton for punishment. How we missed savoury meat after just one meal!
Back to the quirkiness: a bit strange that the owner initially claimed there was no sticky rice on the menu when serving our noodles. He later prepared it after reviewing our order, by which time we were nearly full. More weird was at checkout I paid with a $100 bill, and was given change including the same bill which I informed the inattentive cashier.
