Sister of Soul

Sister of Soul was so close to getting a spectacular review - but then the pebble in my dish happened. And look, I understand these things happen, but what disappointed me the most was how they handled it - they tried to justify it by saying that they don't use processed food so "these things are bound to happen", and then charged me full price for the meal which almost cracked my tooth. In a word - outrageous!

The pebble aside, most of the food was actually delicious.  Only serving vegetarian and vegan cuisine, Sister of Soul is the type of place where you can convince yourself you are being healthy, but you don't have to make a sacrifice on flavour.  Indeed, Sister of Soul even offers 'no garlic / no onion' menu options which are increasingly in demand, but are often difficult to find on a menu.

The rice balls with satay sauce and the okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) were definitely the highlights of the night. Cooked well and bursting with flavour, these two dishes would definitely be on my list of recommendations if heading here for lunch or dinner. 

 

 

Then of course there was the offending pebble dish - the Grain Brain super-food salad - which sends chills up my jaw just thinking about it.

 



 

In terms of desert, with a flavour as vibrant and punchy as its colour - the sorbet of the day is definitely a go-to if you are into fresh and fruity sorbet.  The raw coconut and honey cheesecake, however, is definitely worth a miss - with its one dimensional flavours and a chalky texture, it's definitely not a desert to drool over.



Unfortunately, if it wasn't for the pebble incident, Sister of Soul would have been on my list of recommendations.
