Veggie Vacations

I walked on the Asbury Park boardwalk last week for the first time… ever, actually.  Cool place! I highly recommend taking a walk there – lots of bars and restaurants with beautiful views of the oceans.

My friend and I walked up and down and eventually decided on Langosta Lounge, which was self-classified as “vacation inspired cuisine”.  We waited at the bar so we could get an outside table, where they served some unique and interesting drinks – how often do you get fresh ginger in cocktails?

Nice thing about the menu was this: several dishes had an “as vegetarian” option, and the veg option was cheaper than the original.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ordered something “without the chicken” etc. and have felt slighted when they charged the menu price anyway.

I decided on the vegetarian version of Lobster Bangkok which had an impressive mound of vegetables in a coconut curry sauce over black rice (major points for black rice – I love it!) topped with fresh mango.

There was also a vegetarian Moroccan dish with lentils and couscous that sounded delicious, as well as a salad with macadamia nuts and grilled pineapple.

And when I asked if the Bangkok was vegan, the waitress told me that one of their chefs is vegan, so they know how to take care of us! More points.

Highly recommended.
