Peace Cafe's Heart & Seoul |
Vegan food is made without the use of any animal products (this includes eggs and dairy). Because I cook without dairy, a lot of my own recipes are actually vegan. It's an exceptionally clean and healthy way to eat, provided you ensure that you're getting enough protein (whole grains, tofu, nuts, beans), calcium, and B vitamins in your diet. And contrary to popular belief, animal-less food can taste great.
How I ended up at Peace Cafe is a simple story -- it's my former college roommate's favorite restaurant. Yes, she is vegan (her day job is vegan baking). No, her taste buds aren't dead (vegan food can be delicious!). And yes, she took me to Peace Cafe no less than three times (at my request, of course).
On our first trip, our very special dining companion was Charlyne Yi, a vegetarian and performer at Girl Fest (we'd been tasked with entertaining her during the festival, which turned out to be a joyous undertaking). When we walked in, I was instantly charmed by the cozy restaurant. The menu was handwritten on a large chalkboard, and the seating consisted of one large, rustic communal table, the kind that you'd fantasize about having in your dining room one day, and window counter seating. The compact menu consisted of sandwiches and "Lunchboxes," a slew of vegan latte concoctions, and desserts.

And for dessert, I'd have to recommend the fresh Mochi Cakes, which come in different flavors. My favorite had to be the berry ones I had on my last day. On my way to the airport, I stopped by Peace Cafe one last time for a Popeye sandwich and mochi to carry onto the plane. It was my very last taste of Hawaii, and it was truly memorable. Until my next trip to the island....
