SUMMARY:Basil Cha Cha Vegan Thai Dinner + Bay Trail walk - canceled - Foster City
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: Please visit Bay Area Vegetarians event calendar for more information or updates on this and other vegetarian and animal rights events.=0D=0A=0D=0Ahttp://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php#2402 =0D=0A=0D=0AHost: Dipti=0D=0A=0D=0ANotes:=0D=0A=0D=0APlease join Bay Area Vegetarians for a lovely vegan dinner at Foster City's first and only vegetarian restaurant, Basil Cha Cha Vegetarian Bistro, at 6:30 pm.  The dinner will be preceded by an optional walk at 6 pm along the Bay Trail=0D=0A=0D=0AThis dinner will be held monthly on the 3rd Thursday.  We welcome folks who are new to vegan food, new to the Bay Area, or interested in learning more about getting involved and active with Bay Area Vegetarians to join us.  =0D=0A=0D=0AAbout the restaurant:  It’s entirely vegetarian, and the menu clearly distinguishes between what is vegan and vegetarian.  Nearly everything on the menu can be made vegan.  The spicy items are clearly spicy, too.=0D=0A=0D=0A-Ultimate Guide info & reviews=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AIt is a spin-off of an earlier restaurant in this same space, which was a mixed Thai restaurant with the same owner.  The owner moved her original mixed Thai restaurant to another location in the same mall, and opened up this all vegetarian bistro.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AAbout the dinner:  While only vegan foods are eaten at BAVeg group events, everyone (vegan and non-vegan) is invited to attend.  Based on the interest of the folks in attendance, food may be shared (perhaps segregated by those who enjoy mild foods, spicy foods.  There's no hard and fast rule.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A"On our last visit, we ordered the Fresh Salad Rolls (substituting tofu for the veggie shrimp), Massamam Curry (potatoes, onions, and peanuts with tofu and vegetables), Sweet & Sour (tofu/vegetables with pineapple, onion, cucumber and tomatoes), and Mango Sticky Rice.   We ordered the entrees as mild, and this time they really were.  The curry was excellent; its base was a delicious blend of coconut milk and peanut butter.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AIn summary, the new Basil Cha Cha Vegetarian Bistro has both style and substance.  I hope they thrive in Foster City.  I would highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to enjoy delicious vegan food at affordable prices in a pleasant atmosphere.
