Veggie Heaven, Montclair
October 12th, 2011
Creaky Chicken
Ever since becoming a board member of Re’s preschool I decided that after each board meeting I’m going to treat myself some Veggie Heaven takeout. It’s late by the time I get out, i’m ravenously hungry, I drive right past it to get home…really any excuse I can think of is fine with me. One thing about taking out from this vegan chinese eatery (really any eatery) is that you need to know what will “keep” until you get home. There are just some dishes on the menu that by the time you get home and it’s been steaming away in the back seat they just don’t taste good anymore or at least they just aren’t the same as they would be if you ate it at the actual restaurant.
One dish that travels well in my opinion is the Creaky Chicken. I have no idea what’s so “creaky” about this faux chicken but I don’t care it’s delicious. Its thin pieces of faux chicken and a few mushrooms breaded in something delicious, fried until crispy and topped with a sweetened brown sauce. My husband orders it all the time and I’m always stealing from his plate throughout our meal. I’ve never stolen one of the fried mushrooms though. So ordering this for myself and trying the mushrooms for the first time it’s safe to say that I will indeed be stealing them from his plate from now on.
BBQ Ribs and Spring Rolls
Two of my three favorite appetizers that are great for takeout! I ALWAYS order the BBQ Ribs on my board meeting nights. I wish I had a constant supple of these BBQ Ribs in my fridge. I believe I was told that they are made with a combination of soy and gluten. Whatever. All that matters is that I LOVE these things. They are so tasty and chewy that I would slowly chew on them all day long. So many times when I’m driving Re home from school I’m tempted to stop in and order a few of these to go for lunch. Hell I’m craving these little suckers right now! They come with this sweet and spicy sauce to dip them in. Sometimes I dip. Sometimes I don’t. They are amazing either way.
