Eating Out: Cafe O Mai

Vietnamese food is one of my favourite types of cuisine, and Cafe O Mai in Annerley has a lot of good vegan options. This post is about a visit I made with my friend for lunch, but you can also read about my previous visits here.

We both ordered some drinks to start. I got the Jasmine Garden juice, which had apple, pear, cucumber, spinach, and mint. So refreshing! And Ashleigh got the Vietnamese Coffee Affogatto, which is vegan by default with coconut sorbet, coconut sago pearls, and a sesame praline.

We shared some rice paper rolls and some spring rolls to start. I love the rice paper rolls the best, though the spring rolls were good too. I just prefer the freshness of rice paper rolls. Plus the hoisin peanut dipping sauce!

I ordered the Buddha Vermicelli Noodle Salad, which is topped with lemongrass tofu, crispy tofu, and spring rolls. This is my favourite thing there, as it is so fun and refreshing.

Ashleigh got the Vegan Vietnamese Tofu Curry, which is advertised as a mild yellow curry. Ashleigh liked it a lot. I tried a little bit and, yes, that mild was too spicy for me!

They also have a little sweets case, which often has vegan sweets. We grabbed a couple of chocolate chip cookies to go.

    1. Peanut and hoisin are two of the best sauces, together they are so amazing.
      Those bun salads are one of my favourite foods ever.

  4. Summer rolls are my favorite! Your noodley salad and tofu sounds fantastic- your friend’s curry probably would have made me cry ;)) i learned a long time ago that any ethnic restaurant that refers to a spicy dish as “mild” is kinda lying!

    1. Haha, yes. Anytime someone says something is mild, I am so suspicious. It is sad, because I love Thai food but all of the curries are too hot for me regardless of what they claim. Thank goodness for peanut sauce and pad see ew!
