Went to Corner Street Cafe

...for lunch with yogini friends last Saturday. It was their soft opening so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Very nice and simple interiors, everything was white and of wood. All the food is vegetarian, but it's all interesting stuff. Check out Jon's blog for the menu. I had a hard time deciding what to order!

We decided to all share the Corner Tree Starter Plate. 180 Pesos will get you warm bread, sliced cucumber, carrot and turnip, Dukka (an Egyptian mix of seeds and spices) and hummus. I'm a total hummus fan, but the Dukka was just luscious!

I chose the Baked Tofu Walnut Burger as a dinner plate for my main course. It was good, especially with the crispy onions on top, but I have to say that I was distracted by the salad dressing which was really good.

Unfortunately, or not - for us, the dessert was gone before we could get a picture of it. We had this decadent thing made out of Toblerone (forgot the name) and a cream cheese-fudge brownie. The Toblerone thing was excellent, but my sweet tooth is easily overwhelmed so I prefered the brownie. The cream cheese center balanced the sweetness out nicely. I would have preferred it more moist though, but no complaints on flavor.

We stayed for about four and a half hours just relaxing and chatting. SO nice to just be with friends who feel so light! Speaking of my yogini friends, I stole all the images above from Mel. Check out her blog at Get OM with Life. Thanks, Mel!!!!
