Most people were probably not into Groundhog Day this year. The last 12 months has felt like the same day just like Bill Murray's predicament in the epynomous film. And 6 more weeks of winter (or anything) was both inevitable and unwelcomed.
There was no storm as in previous years but I still wanted to keep my Groundhog Day tradition. But Spice Indian Bistro had shut down last October due to Covid rents and Alma wasn't open today (and it had a weird flavour profile). In any case, with only take-out as an option, this year didn't have the same vibe. So I returned to Tsu Chi to get a main.
I opted for the 13-spice beef curry ($14.80) with a side order of karaage ($4.80). This was excellent vegan food. I don't need my plant-based meals to replicate meat flavours but these were spot-on. The karaage looked and tasted like fried chicken. And the curry was delicious, a wonderful substitute for any non-meat eaters hankering for Japanese curry. Even better than the real thing.
My only complaint was that both were a few bucks too expensive for me to consider coming here as a regular. More than $15 for essentially coleslaw, rice, and curry and more than $5 for 2 small drumsticks were over my price point for a go-to spot.
