Buddha Brunch

On Sunday, I stopped by Mugi for some eats after a yoga class. This newly opened vegan Thai spot is a tiny place at the corner of Bloor and Bathurst. It is easily missed amid the busy traffic and construction. Looking over the short menu, I selected a papaya salad ($8.99) and Hang Le curry ($14.95). The salad had a nice mix of fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables. The vegan fish sauce imparted a good savoury taste. The curry was a dry variety, with young jackfruit substituting for pork belly, in addition to tempeh and cauliflower. The ginger was a nice palate cleanser. It was a tasty dish but next time I will pick a saucier dish to go with the brown rice.

With only 4 seats by the wall, Mugi is mostly a take-out restaurant. But with Khao Soy and other items on the menu, this is a great place to find versions of dishes that don't have vegetarian options at other Thai places.
