Lunch Time.

Here at PE we love lunch! We eat a lot. Luckily, downtown Kitchener has a nice variety of restaurants that we can work our way through. So, that's what we plan to do. And each time we order something new, we'll tell you about it so you can perhaps try it yourself sometime. Or, you can just read about it while we get fat. Whatever works.

LUNCH REVIEW 001
  • Where: Lotus Leaf, King St. Kitchener
  • What: "Lunchean Specail" Combo G - Mixed Veg, Sesame Chicken, Fried Rice.
  • Price: $5.95

We all had the Sesame Chicken Combo today. Overall, we thought it was pretty good. The service was super fast, the vegetables were fresh, and there were lots of pieces of chicken in a sweet sesame sauce.  The rice however tasted old. I would opt for steamed rice next time.

    To be fair, I did have that old choco-milk out of the fridge...

    Interesting, but disappointing to see that your lunch was carry out AND in a styrafoam type container. Eating in means less trash and supporting stores that use biodegradable/compostable disposables are better options to think about in terms of promoting and supporting sustainability.

    Thanks for reading gyspylens! And yeah, we totally agree with what you're saying. As far as I know there is only one place in downtown that supplies their takeout in completely biodegradable materials, and that is eXhibit cafe. Which we LOVE.

    Maybe we can come up with a creative way to work with downtown restaurants to either A: all switch to biodegradable, or B: allow us to bring in reusable dishes for takeout.
    Any ideas?

    Good question.
    The restaurant doesn't have a website (we should get on that), but from the articles I just skimmed over, no, there is no location in TO.

    Are YOU in Toronto? It's been so long!

    You told me that chocolate milk wasn't expired.

    I believed you.

    Regarding the takeout question - maybe ask what packaging they have and choose the most recyclable one?
    98% sure you could get away with recyling some sort of cardboard and-or aluminium deal if you rinse it out.
