Restaurant Review: Red Bamboo

This entire weekend was simply amazing!  Sunday was such a great day.  Melissa & I woke up early, got dressed in some cute vintage outfits, &  headed down to the Brooklyn Flea Market.  The flea market was so cute!  There were tons of vintage dresses, outfits, picture frames, books, jewelry, accessories, & plenty of random finds.  Melissa bought a super cute silky red cheetah print vintage dress & a yellow strapless tube top that has large orange flowers embroidered all over.  The only bad thing was the super long lines at the snack booths & the blazing NY sun & humidity- considering the whole thing is outdoors.

After doing a little research online prior to heading to the flea market, we discovered Kumquat Cupcakes would have a booth there.  Their cupcakes are extremely small & only $1 each.  They only had 3 flavors- Vanilla Peach, Chocolate Blueberry, & Red Velvet.  The cupcakes were just okay.  They do not even compare to Batch.  The flavors were weird & I think Kumquat Cupcakes underestimates the joy of simplicity.  They were cute but not worth a special trip just to get them.

After we finished our cupcakes & bargained at the last booths, we headed to Red Bamboo- only a 3 minute walk from the flea market!  Melissa was still ranting about the flea market & we both had a great time.

Once we got to Red Bamboo, we were amazed by the menu! BBQ skewers, Buffalo Wings, Grilled Chicken Salads- all Vegan!  We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Salad, The Mediterranean Platter, & a side of Tofu Scramble Florentine.   The Teriyaki Chicken Salad was WONDERFUL! It had amazing seasonings & spices, flavor, texture- everything was perfect! 

 The Mediterranean Platter contained freshly made hummus, whole wheat pita slices, greek olives, couscous salad, and tomato.  It made a great little appetizer & was so light & fresh.  The tofu scramble was good too but not as good as the other dishes. 

All in all, our day was amazing!  Red Bamboo is a great find & a true blessing for Vegetarians & Vegans of NYC.
