Weekend: Tractor Foods and BBT

On Friday my friend and I decided to try out Tractor Foods for lunch, an everyday health food cafe. This cafeteria-style cafe offers an array of salads, soups, stews and sandwiches. At Tractor Foods healthy means simple and fresh ingredients that are high in nutritional value. Although they do not claim to be solely vegan or vegetarian they are heavily vegetarian based and do have gluten-free menu items. 

We both tried the summer quinoa salad. This contained organic quinoa, fresh blueberries, butternut squash and mint. It was very refreshing although more flavour would have been appreciate(dressing?). I also had half a grilled avocado which was absolutely delicious! My friend also decided to try another salad, the grilled asparagus (which I had a taste of). It was quite good! It contained grilled asparagus, broccoli, butternut squash, pecans and ricotta cheese. 


This small cafe was quite busy for a weekday, I was honestly shocked. At one point there was a lineup going out the door! It is obviously a very popular place and I can understand why.  
From what we ate we could tell that all the ingredients were fresh and seasonal. 
I would highly recommend this cafe for lunch or dinner. The prices are quite good for the quality that is provided. Each salad is $3.25 and there is a wide variety to choose from. 
Next time I would love to try one of their stews or sandwiches which seemed to be quite popular. 

Today my friend and I decided to get some bubble tea (boba) from the Soho Tea Room. When we arrived we were surprised by a special offer. Between 2-5pm with every bubble tea order you get a free toast(something similar to french toast but HK style). 
I ordered a black milk tea slush with tapioca pearls and the condensed milk and peanut butter on thick toast. It looked delicious but I decided to save it for my dad because he loves sweet things and ANYTHING that has to do with peanut butter. The bubble tea was so yummy and the tapioca pearls were fresh and chewy, just the way I like it! I can't wait to go back. 
Fashion posts to come, I promise!
