Banh Mi & Beans, Canggu, Bali

Back at university Banh Mi roll were one of the easiest and cheapest lunches to grab between classes. In Sydney there was a little store that was pretty much a hole in the wall however they had the best Banh Mi rolls I have tried and for only $4.50 from what I can remember.
Fast forward now to my time in Bali, we stumbled into this cafe purely because it is close to our airbnb and my boyfriend needed coffee. I saw on the menu they had a tofu Banh Mi and I had to try it for lunch the next day. We both got the tofu Banh Mi and man it was SO freaking good (we got it two more time for lunch afterwards) that saying a lot because before trying these Banh Mi roll my boyfriend were not a fan of then. Tip is if you want them vegan, you just need to ask them to not add any mayonnaise.

Bomb-Ass Vegan Food in Bali

September 30, 2017

Peloton Supershop, Bali

Before I left Thailand to head to Bali, I already had a list of vegan cafes to check out while I was here. The restaurant I was most excited to eat at was Peloton, I have seen sooo many yummy food pics from peloton appearing on my instagram and couldn't wait to experience it for myself.
The owners of Peloton went vegan when they opened up this restaurant so you will find at lot of your favourite comfort dishes veggie-fied like nachos, schnitzel burger, tacos. This was the first time trying this place so I have to admit it was hard to narrow down which dish to try first, something comforting or something super nutritious like their super salad bowls.
This time around we went for the lance lasagna and the schnitzel burger. Hope you enjoy the foodie pics below from our time at peloton and you best be sure I will be coming back to try more from their menu!

Sunday Acai Bowls

September 6, 2017

Fruit Pulse, Chiang Mai

Acai bowls are one of my favourite healthy meals, I fell in love with them after trying my very first one at the Gold Coast in Australia. After that I would buy them from time to time while I was living in Brisbane but found it was more cost effective and just overall easier to just make them at home. I would sometimes have one for dinner if I wanted something light.
Since moving from Brisbane I haven't had an acai bowl which is about 9ish month so when I found that this cafe next door to 'Vegan Heaven' my no. 1 favourite breakfast restaurant, I had to try their acai bowl the following day.

I did not realise fruit pulse had sooo many vegan options, I was soooooo freaking excited.

After looking at the menu James, my boyfriend and I was tossing between the Superfood Bowl or the Waffles. We decided we can do the Superfood Bowls this time around and next time try the waffles.

For Drinks, I got the Mean Green Juice. I love a green juice that taste kind of bad because the strong veggies they add, in this case it was kale. James got an iced soy coffee which he really enjoyed. What's awesome is they have so many different types of milks, like cashew milk, rice milk, soy milk, almond milk and I think from memory pistachio milk as well!

The acai bowls were pretty good, really good size, the granola was really crunchy which is my favorite and the fruits topped on it was suburb. I've had a few really bad acai bowls before so I was really happy with these ones. If I had to be picky my bowl, I would say the acai mixture was a lot lighter in flavor and color than my favourite one from Brisbane. James's cacao super bowl was really good though. You can't really tell the differences between the bowls in the pictures below but overall I would recommend this place. Super excited to try some of there other vegan dishes!

Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo

August 20, 2017

Reform Kafe, Chiang Mai


We bumped into an old friend and he informed us that he has found his new favourite vegan restaurant and if we go we have to try the vegan burger. So how could we not go and check out this place, we haven't been to a new restaurant in Chiang Mai in so long. We have a select few favourite places that we usually rotate around when it comes to eating out but I was pretty excited to try Reform Kafe.
I looked up online and found out that Reform Kafe used to be vegan and vegetarian but now the whole menu is vegan, how cool is that!

The interior is super relaxed I instantly had holiday vibes when I walked in I felt like I was back in Cambodia.

I didn't know at the time till we were seated that it was actually a hotel restaurant, if I stayed at this hotel I would probably have dinner here every single night. There was so many different things I wanted to try on the menu.

My boyfriend was going to order the mushroom patty burger our friend recommended to us and I just didn't know what I wanted. Then the waiter came and my boyfriend started to order so I just made a split second decision while the waiter was asking me what I would like... Fettuccine Mushrooms & cream it was.

For drinks we got the banana & cocoa shake which tasted amazing! and a green smoothie which tasted OK I feel like it could of been stronger. The only reason I order green smoothies is because I was that nutrients hit so when the smoothie doesn't taste almost bad because of all the good green veggies in it then it's not effective 😅 I think I could only taste cucumber and celery.

I have a cheeky bite of the burger and man oh man it was amazing packed full of flavour and the homemade chips were so good!! We just wish there was more of it.

Fettuccine Mushrooms & cream was pretty good, the cream was made from cashew but in comparison to the burger it was just lacking flavour. It needed something savoury or even some black pepper onto but the sauce was nothing less than creamy, can you tell from the picture.

I can't wait to come back and try some other dishes on the menu, they have some really affordable veggie set with rice dishes too. Hope you enjoyed my post!
