organic and raw

For today, I got to try a restaurant that serves raw organic food, Organic Lives.  This type of food is getting really popular because it's so healthy.  None of the food is cooked so that the enzymes are still present for the body to benefit.

The starter we tried was crackers and cheese. The crackers are dehydrated and the cheese is made from nuts.

For the main courses we had lasagna  with ceasar salad and nachos.  The lasagna felt more like a salad.  My friend said terrine would have been appropriate name for it, I agree.  It tasted very fresh and the salad was good too.  I can imagine a ceasar salad.

The nachos was difficult to eat.  The crackers and some of the accompaniments were the same stuff as our cheese and crackers, which was disappointing.  

We also had a strawberry smoothie called the pink drink.

I find the food and concept really interesting.  Although it's not somehting I can eat everyday, I really do feel healthier eating raw food.  I just wished that it would not re-use the same components in different dishes and labeling them differently.  Also, I think it would be better if they be more creative with naming and describing their dishes and veer away from common terms such as nachos and lasagna.  I feel like it would open the diner's mind to a whole world of possibilities rather than disapointed expectations.
