Be Le - Phenomenal

|
I have eaten meat for the entirety of my life; however, I recently converted to vegetarianism. Vegetarianism in the raw form was not an unpleasant leap for me, since I never preferred meat in the first place. It was a typical start to something that I thought may or may not have worked out. After a couple of months, I was invited to a vegetarian restaurant by my colleague. I was completely on board to furthering my vegetarian lifestyle. So, we met at Be Le Vegetarian Restaurant. I ordered something simple, vegetable lo mien…it was a safe bet. My partner ordered an assortment of appetizers and dishes that I loosely paid attention to until the words “mock meat” spat out of his mouth. Mock meat; I absorbed the concept before questioning. At a table of five, little was said about this simulated animal flesh. Then, it was sitting in front of me, on a stick. I presumed it was an imitation of oriental meat kabobs. Urged to try it, I slowly lured the kabob into my mouth. I asked, “Are you sure this isn’t meat?” Sure enough, the mock meat was a perfect simulation of the oriental meat kabobs that I had once held in high regard. Needless to say, I enjoyed the lo mien, the mock meat and many other deliciously foreign-to-my-tongue foods. Be Le’s fresh twist on healthy cuisine and its inviting atmosphere provide for an impressive dining experience.
