Night of the Round Table

That's what we had, eight hungry people at a big round table in Golden Era. Me, Julie Ray, Wig and Ad, Scotty, Elise and 2 Amy's. Finally, I was going to try the vegan Vietnamese restaurant that's been around for at least a couple of eras. And since there were a bunch of us, there was lots of food. Potstickers, spring rolls and cucumber salad for appetizers, all quite good. But the entrees were what really impressed. Like the claypot eggplant with velvety tofu triangles; the stir-fried asparagus and green beans with sesame garlic sauce; caramelized soy chicken; and pan-fried chow fun with soft ribbons of rice noodle, tofu and mushrooms. I also tasted Elise's banana smoothie, then handed it back before I accidentally consumed the whole thing. Luckily, she was far across the table...this time.
