FOOD REVIEW: Bulan Thai (Silver Lake, Los Angeles)

4114 Santa Monica Blvd (at Sunset Blvd)

pad thai

"chicken" pineapple fried rice

"I can't believe it's not flesh!" I exclaimed as I bit into my pineapple chicken fried rice at Bulan Thai Vegetarian Kitchen (4114 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029; 323-913-1488) in Silver Lake. My friend just nodded wisely and said "I told you so!" He had suggested we come here for a business lunch and I had been reluctant, since I am most definitely a carnivore.

"Do they have shrimp?" I asked.

"No, they are a completely vegetarian restaurant" he replied.

"Wow," I said. "Hardcore."

"But, believe me," he said, "you will think you are eating meat. It's
incredible."

"Mmmm, hmmmm." I murmured, disbelievingly.

My friend was right. Somehow the wizards in the kitchen at BulanThai are able to cook their tofu so that it has the taste, consistency and texture of chicken. TASTY chicken! It has to be experienced to be believed. He had the pad thai, that canonical Thai dish which is on every Thai restaurant's menu. It was also excellent. I am eager to come back and explore the rest of what Bulan Thai vegetarian restaurant has to offer! My friend says the "beef" is ridonculous. I can't wait.
