#2) This month's trek

 

This month's restaurant outing is a historic one for BAVRT.

Without repeating a single restaurant, BAVRT outings have

reached the 100 mark!

 

Winnie, who is quite active in the veg movement, is hosting this

month's restaurant outing. Hulu is a new veg restaurant in SF

(the only non-vegan thing I have heard about is that they

provide milk for tea, if patrons ask for it).

 

The preset vegan family style menu that our host arranged

(no fake meats!) is

 

Appetizer

- Spring roll - not fried

- Sweet Rice wrapped in seaweed (sushi) (*S)

- preserved vegetables (*S)

 

Soup

- Laksa, Malaysian med spicy noodle soup

 

Entrees

- Curry, medium spicy, with gravy, Singapore style

- stir fry mixed veg (with special white sauce)

- Fried Taro root (*S)

 

Rice

- Brown Rice

- Mixed Veg Fried Rice Chinese style

 

Drinks

- Chrysanthemum Flower tea, decaf (very pretty)

- Green tea

- purified water

 

(*S) - Special items not on the menu

 

The cost per person is $17 (includes tax + tip). Make sure to

RSVP early. You don't to miss this dinner! The restaurant has

only a limited number of seats. If you plan to go to a Halloween

party afterwards, feel free to come in your costume!

#3) Last month's trek

http://www.veginfo.com/bavrt/restaurantlist.html

 

Diane hosted last month's dinner at Madras Cuisine. We had

a vegan buffet (that was served directly at the table!).

Ten people showed up and there were two cancellations.

 

The food was quite good and plentiful. Those of you

who did not come missed a wonderful dinner. It was a cozy

dinner. We stayed around till 9 PM talking after dinner.

a) Emails to Veginfo

Some folks find that emails to veginfo bounces. If that happens

to you, read the bounce message first! It is normally quite

descriptive (more so, if you are a techie). If it does not

make sense, feel free to call me over the phone or use

the link http://veginfo.com/contact/general to email me.

[ In most cases, the bounces are because some email

standard [RFC] or other was not followed. ]
