Date Night - Au Lac

Scott and I finally had a Saturday night with no plans for the first time in weeks! Lately we seem to be running around non stop so it was really refreshing to have a low key weekend to catch up on sleep and have a spontaneous date night.

We decided to go to Au Lac in Wollongong, this place was really impressive. They offer a huge range of vegetarian and vegan choices and everything we ordered was really tasty!

We probably ordered way too much food for 2 people but we wanted to try as much as we possibly could - and I am so glad we did.

Appetisers -

Soy Chicken Drumsticks

 I was really apprehensive about ordering these, the idea of chicken drumsticks freak me out but these were delicious. They use bamboo as the 'bone' - so yummy!

Soy Shrimp on Toast

Scott didn't want these at all but we made a deal that if he could order the drumsticks, I could order to prawn toast. The mixture was almost like mash potato and it was really tasty.

Veggie Dumplings

I assumed these would be steamed dumplings so I was a little disappointed discovering they were fried. I have definitely had better dumplings and probably wouldn't order these again.

Main -

Lemon Soy Chicken

I HATE lemon and chicken together, even if it is soy chicken! Scott had this and loved it, I didn't taste it.

Soy Chicken Satay

This was the dish of the night by far! It was full of a really fresh peanut taste and the vegetables were perfectly crunchy. The soy chicken was great, almost too much like the real thing.

Dessert -

Fried Soy Ice Cream

After years of being Vegan, Scott had NEVER had fried ice cream! As an avid fried ice cream fan this was a bit of a deal breaker for us so it needed to be fixed ASAP. He loved it!
